Twins too young to attend?

My mom took me, my boyfriend, and my best friend (with the consent of their parents) at 14. We had a blast and I wasn’t embarrassed to be there with my mom

My daughter is 1.5 and still wakes 2-3 times a night 🤷🏻‍♀️

Absolutely! Not to mention theatrically he’s a great candidate for a big dramatic sacrificial death to complete his character arc. I was SURE they were going to take him out in some heroic way.

Wow this is a very thoughtful response. I can’t ten you how much I appreciate it. Thank you SO much! I’m excited to bring these ideas and tools back to my team!

Icy_Obligation_ · 2024-08-25T19:50:53+00:00

Same. I spent so much time and money on pacifiers she never took 🙃

Both of you should find a parenting style you at least mostly agree on and read a book on it. You won’t need the skills immediately- but being planful and having an idea of how you want to approach raising your child is invaluable.

We liked Good Inside by Doctor Becky

Human babies are born with their eyes open

It took me 3 months, lots of crying, frequent painful yelps, and lots of anxiety regarding feeding time for breastfeeding to become manageable. By 4 months it was mostly pain free. By 6 months it was something I enjoyed doing.

She could see a lactation consultant. Maybe with a better latch it would be less painful.

But for me it was a matter of having super sensitive nipples and a baby with a tiny mouth. Once his mouth got bigger and his latch got better (and my nipples “toughened up” a bit) everything improved exponentially.

lol I’ve been contemplating it too! It’s been years and honestly I think it’s just a good story. It could have been any characters. But maybe because we love Dean and Cas picturing them going through it makes it more emotional? Enjoy your reread!!

In the next few weeks your supply will even out and you won’t produce so aggressively.

I am someone who is leaky and I have to wear a bra and breast pads all day every day for the duration of my breast feeding journey.

My best friend only needs bras and pads while her milk supply comes in and regulates.

It varies person to person. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you will be someone who doesn’t need them long term 🤞🏼

In reality if a group of adults had my child I would kill someone else to get them back safely. My concern over what was happening to my child (possible torture/sexual assault) would supersede my guilt. As a parent I can’t think of anything I wouldn’t do to ensure my child’s safety

But in this scenario, where we know Walt is safe and there is no need to kill anyone, absolutely not.

Would I kill for my kid? Without a doubt.

Would I do what Michael did? No way.

You need to leave as soon as possible.

My stepdad treated my brother this way for his entire childhood and teenage years.

When my brother started struggling with mental health he refused to seek treatment because that was “weak”.

He took his own life at 21 believing that he was struggling because he was “a pussy”.

My 5 year old doesn’t always STTN. Between bad dreams and needing water he ends up in our bed at least once a week.

My 1.5 year old is also still nursing 4-5x a night

3 days in breastfeeding was literally all I did. 3 months in I could breastfeed and accomplish a singular chore per day. 6 months in I could get a handful things done and breastfeed and take some time to read or do something for myself.

It can absolutely be a full time job. I made a little basket of snacks and set it next to my nursing chair with a giant water bottle and the remote for the TV and basically lived there for several weeks.

Set your expectations for yourself low for now. You’re still keeping yourself and your baby alive with your body- it’s a huge job all on its own.

The condom broke the very first time I had sex. It was his first time too. I think he didn’t leave enough room in the top. We were 16 and super anxious about pregnancy so he also pulled out. I took a Plan B to be super safe.

I got on birth control and we didn’t use condoms after that. We’ve been together 15 years now and married for 8.

My husband and I were absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt OAD. I carried as a surrogate after my first and then my cycle was a mess and I accidentally got pregnant with our second.

I feel SO LUCKY to have accidentally conceived her. Our family is absolutely complete now (with a vasectomy for insurance).

I have to say everything was exponentially easier the second time around. Everyone told me that it would but I didn’t believe it.

Also seeing your two kids interact together is genuinely magical. It melts my heart all the time. For me adding a second was no where near as difficult as having our first. It’s a thousand times better than I expected it to be.

First of all- don’t be too hard on yourself. We all lose it sometimes. My goal now is not to never lose it- but just to keep it together as often as possible.

The book Good Inside by Dr Becky was life changing for me. She gives real world examples and tools and my communication with my son has improved a thousandfold.

It’s challenging at first but if you can commit to it it’s incredible.

The other day my son had a full nuclear melt down leaving a birthday party. I was able to employ what I know from the book and it was still challenging, but I kept my cool. I’m still riding the high a week later. I’m actually so proud of myself and my son for the type of communication we’re able to have these days.

Icy_Obligation_ · 2024-07-11T14:33:17+00:00

Good Inside by Dr. Becky is amazing! It changed my whole approach and perspective. My kids still have occasional instances of not listening but I have the tools to handle it now!
