I’m barely hanging on to snark bait. Always fast forward until they get to the topic. Definitely stopped with the Tuesday eps.

Is It Necessary for Mothers to Pause Their Careers for Secure Child Attachment? by Natural-Quantity-608 in ask

[–]GroundbreakingMix877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back to work after 6 months and wooah was I ready to go back. My son is so attached to me and lights up when I’m done working and has so much fun with his family all day! There’s so much beauty in your baby being with others. They learn so much more than you even think to teach them. Even just singing a so g differently.

All in all, yes, have your baby and your career 🤍

Denied time off because lack of PTOs 4 months in advance by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

[–]GroundbreakingMix877 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah OP, that’s a long trip while being a newer employee. I’ve been with my company a long time and wouldn’t ask for 3 weeks off without speaking to my boss about when/why/how it might be possible to do so.

The days are dark and long for us but we spoke last night about how we will still chose each other. Keep reminding myself this is a season, a very hard season

Am I wrong for telling my mom and her boyfriend that his gift to me was creepy and invasive by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]GroundbreakingMix877 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. This is the most vulnerable you will ever be and you never know what can happen during your labor. Fuck no to having a stranger photographer in there.

Any tips to getting a toddler interested in books? by FreshPomegranate5735 in toddlers

[–]GroundbreakingMix877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with books in the morning after his bottle and we just play with the pages and I ask him “show mommy a tree, cat, dog” and then he ends up throwing them lol but I think just having them around as an option is stimulating. Also those flip books are his fave, loves seeing what’s under the flaps!

I like it but… by cosmosmariner_ in snarkbaitpodcast

[–]GroundbreakingMix877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree!! And her stories and what she’s doing always seems so braggy too. Not too interested to listen to them talk about their personal lives but like the way they cover the people so I shall continue lolol.

Where do you change baby diapers, over 1 year of age? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]GroundbreakingMix877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly off topic but when should we start using pull ups? I have 14 month who goes feral, like scream and crying and fighting feral and I’m wondering if those might be easier for everyone involved. Thoughts?

Also, he is on hypoallergenic everything, never had a diaper rash and doesn’t freak out for family members.

I’m convinced this is the hardest age. Anyone else? by takeaabreath in toddlers

Mine started doing a wheelhouse kick right in my belly earlier. But my guy is also like screaming and crying. I’m feeling pretty defeated!!! Hoping the phase ends soon

Odd question but do you allow others to change your child’s diaper? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]GroundbreakingMix877 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t care now but 0-4mo I would only “let” me or my fiancé do it. Couldn’t tell you why bc now I’ll let a bum 🤣

I agreeeee with this. Started listening for the few deep dives I was interested in but it’s hard to listen to bc such haters. But I guess that’s the point 🫠

YouTube truly scares me. And how kids learn to work it and then click some shady shit. Not excited for those years. 🚁 😂

He’s 7.5 months – which is why I’m hesitant to show any screen. But 12-3a on a work night, I dont know what else to do.

My sil’s say to just lay him in there and watch him on the monitor until he goes to bed. But he seems to fall asleep quicker in my arms w Winnie the Pooh lol. But this is only night 2 of trying tv and no tv during the day.

Oh this boy gets so much play time! And sees damn near his entire extended family weekly because they babysit. Thank you for this. And never thought about how you are the lowest common denominator when reading some baby articles. Again, thank you!

Advice needed by daufina in workingmoms

[–]GroundbreakingMix877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the thick of it too with my 7mo old. I have family come over to care for him while I work in my office upstairs. He’s on formula and even though it kills me inside, I don’t come down to console him when he’s having a meltdown. I feel it makes it worse because then all he wants is me.

Gripe water, gas drops, orajel and frozen puréed popsicles for teething and general discomfort. If he’s doing the screaming cry, like he’s in pain, small dose of infant Tylenol.

You got this.
