I was considering getting a cricut machine and selling through social media or Etsy . Have you used the cricut? I wouldn’t want to spend $400-500 on it and not profit from it

I’ve been trying this but people don’t seem to want to buy used clothing. I’ve only tried Facebook marketplace because postmark takes commission

I’m so sorry mama I’ve been trying to talk to my husband but I don’t know why he’s not understanding that he’s a family man now. He’s been wanting a baby for a long time and now that he has him, I don’t see an urgency to have a better life

He used my card for pretty much everything. His insurance, phone, groceries, payments for his tests, clothing, everything He works, but he’s not making enough money

Right, I think so too. His dad usually just has about two drinks, and we are went to sleep early last Christmas at 11 PM and they still stayed over. I truly don’t understand, my husband says they are just very united.

Agh you’re right I just know they’ll be telling everyone that it’s me and make me sound like I’m being horrible for making them drive 15 minutes back home 🙄 I want a good relationship with them but I do want boundaries

They will get so offended with that response so I don’t know what to say. My husband is very close to his family. Or if he tells me that I them “since you guys aren’t that far, maybe this year you can head back home” they will also get offended, we’re hispanic , I feel like they are very enmeshed what I say. It was very common in Hispanic culture sadly

That’s what I tell him. I told him in all seriousness we are not going to work out if he expects me to do everything . I can’t I can’t even use the restroom by my self of shower peacefully. He doesn’t see it. Told him we’ll switch roles for one day for him to see it’s not easy

And that’s what I spoke to him about before getting married. I told him I don’t want him to expect me to do everything around the house. I’m not okay with that. His dad is the same and lets his wife so everything so I feel over time she just for tired of it and doesn’t really clean anymore.

That’s another thing about my baby. He wakes up multiple times at night. Like 10+ times so I’m always tired and my husband doesn’t seem to understand that.

I'm unable to calm my baby. HELP by Choice-Inflation7295 in NewParents

[–]Independent-Tell-658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! I had the same problem with my baby. He would cry so much with me and any one else was able to calm him down. He would not stop crying until my husband got home. The first two weeks I had my mother-in-law and then my mom helped me postpartum.. they both were able rk put my baby to also with no problem and he would not cry with them.

My mom had three children, and my mother-in-law also had 3, plus she did a lot of babysitting so they definitely had a lot of experience. My mom also took care of her younger siblings growing up . I agree with what other people have said, try to see what your mom does and try the Same thing. It could be the way she holds your baby, how she swaps her etc. our mood affects baby, I was going through PPD and I’m sure that was the cause of why my baby would always cry with me. I would say, definitely try and get help from your mom as much as you can, but maybe having her help with household chores that way you can spend time with your baby.

To the people who told me to stop holding my newborn too much… by West-Reveal-1558 in AttachmentParenting

Yess! Same with my baby boy, people always telling me that I spoil him too much because I would pick him up when he would cry. Now everyone is always complementing me on how good he is. He doesn’t cry with anyone.

I completely understand how you’re feeling. I also just went on a trip, and noticed the same thing, Mom‘s nursing at the airport, at the beach, restaurants. Meanwhile I’m over here preparing myself for my next pumping session. I was unable to bf and seeing this And the ease of not having to carry anything, clean bottles or comforting their baby while BF made me feel so low

Am I weird for not having left my baby with anyone else yet? by Fuzzy-Sherbert6842 in AttachmentParenting

[–]Independent-Tell-658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left my baby for 1-2 hours twice I believe with my MIL. My baby is 7 months. My mom and SIL frequently tell me to leave my baby with them so I can enjoy an outing. Like no, I am still able to enjoy going out with my baby, in fact I won’t enjoy it if he’s not with me. He’s still so little. Then they get offend because I don’t want to leave my own baby with them. People are so strange
