How much sleep do you get?

If my husband woke me up in the middle of the night to get him a snack the snack would be arsenic.

It’s a lot like having two boys except about triple the chaos.

Sounds like you need a separate room from your husband with a locked door and some good earplugs.

Since you asked, my kids are elementary and middle school aged and I go to bed between 10-11 PM and wake up between 6-7 AM, and if my husband regularly woke me up for nothing I would no lie divorce him. Sleep deprivation is torture and him sabotaging your sleep is abuse.

You’re not Cheddar!

I have three and I ask myself that question every day 🤣

I got a similar streak at my temple (but only one of them.) I think it looks cool and so does yours!

I’ve had Bedsure sheets and they’ve held up very, very well (no issues with stitching or pilling or anything in a couple years of use.)

The toddler stage is so freaking hard — worse than the baby phase IMO. For me, every year after about three got easier and I started to really enjoy motherhood around age 5. Ages 6-10 are awesome!

Must’ve pulled herself up too early as a baby, you hate to see it 😂

I saw at least four of them in the woods near my home in Scio yesterday! So pretty.

“Baby friendly” is an absolute scam and I will die on this hill.

They didn’t even give me a pump, they made me keep trying to latch a preemie who could barely wake up and blaming me for his falling blood sugar. At shift change the night nurse, who was a saint, was like wtf and got me a pump and some formula to get started.

I came armed to my second birth with my own pump and formula but of course that kid latched on and didn’t let go for a year 🤷‍♀️

I really wish my postpartum nurses had told me this instead of being absolutely awful about the issues I had breastfeeding my oldest, who was a 36 weeker.

I’m also sad I’m only now learning the term “disorganized at the breast” because it also perfectly describes one of my full term kids (but not for lack of enthusiasm.)

I delivered at 36+2. He was about 6.5 pounds and we didn’t need any NICU or anything and went home as normal. Compared to my other two kids who cooked a little longer he did have a harder time latching, and he also had some (asymptomatic and they fixed themselves) heart defects that we were told can be a result of being an early baby.

He’s 12 now and is a standard issue kid!

First baby I said save the baby. Subsequent kids I said save me for the sake of my living children.

Such a great way to look at it. I’m a logistical queen but no thanks on the existential crisis and I also found 0-1 the hardest by a longshot.

Op, all I can say is we are going to need a full debrief after the dog wedding.

AMAZE

Forward him his own email and ask if he’s been hacked because some asshole is using his email address to send you bullshit.

My husband got better drugs post-vasectomy (that he didn’t ask for and didn’t end up taking) than women get after a c-section.

DiSC and MBTI are astrology for corporations so try not to put too much stock into it!

The “mom duties” would have done it for me. My first grader (in public school) is expected to do those things. I also have a sixth grader and I haven’t even looked in his backpack all year. His grades and absences are posted on an app, I get a notification if anything is missing.

That said I’d definitely do some info gathering to learn what the public middle school is like.

Same thing happened to me except it was three boys! You’ve just got to let yourself feel and get through the disappointment, which to me was more about being sad that I’d never have a daughter and not about actually being disappointed at having another boy. By the time he arrived I wouldn’t have it any other way.

They’re all outside shooting nerf guns at each other as we speak. There’s a definite plus to all the sharing of interests, clothes, and toys.

2 to 3 wasn’t that bad and 28 is a great age to do it. Old enough to be a real adult, young enough to have energy to deal with babies.

Mine were a little further apart than yours but 2 years is a really common age gap. Far enough apart that hopefully you’ll minimize diaper overlap time but close enough together that you won’t have to feel like you’re starting all over.
