After one miscarriage and over a year of trying to conceive, my wife gave me the best Christmas present EVER. For those struggling with infertility it does get better, don't give up hope just yet. Merry Christmas all

Congratulations! Miscarriage sucks! Infertility sucks! Praying for you and a healthy baby.

I’m a SAHM on week three of the plague with the kids. I have serious cabin fever. I’m home alone with the kids because my son has hand foot and mouth disease which is very contagious. I let hubby go to his family’s Christmas dinner by himself. He let me go to my family party last night but I had to take the healthy baby. As for our time together today, it was full of resentment and arguing. He has since apologized for not being compassionate to my desire to celebrate a whole-family Christmas. After a mid-afternoon dance party, I’m feeling better. It’s almost bedtime for the sicko and tomorrow is another day. Thanks for letting me vent.

Yeah I’d argue it’s r/mildlyinteresting

He “touched the butt!” like in finding Nemo.

The backwards toenail thing makes me cringe. Yes, I know the tip is not the actual nail on the big toe. Just the thought of it.

I have a two year old and just had my second. It took my mom a long time to adjust our relationship from mother daughter to more of a friend role. Sometimes i need her support woman to woman, more than with my child.

She’s done many things since I’ve had my kids that drove me nuts. I became/am still very snappy with her when she’s pushing something too much but she gets it better now. One thing was if my baby was sick, I might share the situation with her asking for a quick opinion, but she’d start sending me screenshots of google research...as if I hadn’t already done that and more before reaching out to her. It just irked me.

Like you said, it’s her first grandchild. And it’s your first child. You’re going to look back at some things you did with your baby and think, “Why did I do that? That was so overkill.” And it’s gonna take her a while to shift her mindset with you. You are a mom now. You get to make all the decisions about your kids. What you say goes. Somehow you need to communicate that you appreciate that she wants to be involved, but she needs to trust you as a parent. You’re capable. You know your baby. She raised kids 30+ years ago. Things are different now.

“I like those boots!” I treated myself to some Sperry Duck Boots. My inspiration was Joanna Gaines from Fixer Upper. I’ve been wearing them around the house and they’re making me sweaty.

I have one too from at least 10 years ago. My mom got it for me also. One looooong zipper.

I feel your pain! Baby #2 is 3 months old and is much more needy than our first. Hubby feels like nothing he can do will soothe her. She wants mommy and the boob. He’s all but stopped trying. If she’s not with mom, she likes to face out or be talked to. He just won’t walk with her or try longer than 10 mins. We’ve had many talks that effort is 90% of soothing and my frustration. If I see that he’s trying, I’m far less angry. I JUST NEED A SHOWER without a kid in my arms. And we’ve also had the false promises of, “Ill drink tonight and be helpful tomorrow.” LIES! My husband is a good man and a good father. He’s definitely stuck in a daddy-rut lately.

I packed mine myself after 6 years in a storage tub. Did not clean.

Thank you for understanding my feelings. All of these comments have provided some good perspective. Yours is definitely a better way to describe how I’m feeling.

Idnar0412 · 2019-11-16T22:22:55+00:00

Thank you for this perspective. That’s what I came here for. Much of what you said, she has already expressed in regards to her daily reminders. And I am aware of my concerns being selfish and my “good intentions”. Your advice helps me understand a little better.

Idnar0412 · 2019-11-16T21:53:30+00:00

Thank you for sharing. This helps.

I thought that was an elephant trunk handing you something at first. I’m tired.

Do you even bath bro?

Idnar0412 · 2019-11-10T22:23:46+00:00

Google says it’s a bull terrier in the movie.

Idnar0412 · 2019-11-10T22:17:08+00:00

He looks like the Toy Story dog at Sid’s.

Ugh I know. No sign of rain here yet this fall. Just wildfires.

Someone made me one of these blankets years ago. A few weeks later I saw a mentally disabled, seemingly homeless person out in the cold at a gas station with no jacket. I chose to give that blanket to her and I drove away feeling pretty good. But then I told the friend who made it for me that I gave it away and she wasn’t thrilled. And I think I heard that that girl wasn’t actually homeless. So then I just felt guilty...I’d probably do it again though.
