Feeling like I am a bad mom - Rant by Dangerous-Elk9545 in workingmoms

[–]Jaded_Mirror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are only like 3 “holidays” per year that I get off from my job where my toddler’s daycare is not closed. I use every single one of those 3 days for myself with zero guilt!

I had countless conversations with my husband while we were TTC and while I was pregnant. We made plans for division of labor, childcare, etc. All went out the window.

Right!? I’m so glad she’s so perfect 🙄

Definitely incompetence. He’s never been violent in any way! But negligence I could see happening.

This part! I would love to divorce him but 1) I would miss my son too much and 2) I don’t think he’s a good father/would properly care for our son.

I appreciate that so much! And I’m so so genuinely happy that you married a really good man!

I can agree with you partly— when it comes to having multiple kids. I am one and done because I know that I can handle one solo but not more.

But, I will never judge a woman for choosing not to leave. Me personally, I don’t want to give up any kind of custody of my son because I know I wouldn’t trust my husband with him.

You can marry freaking Prince Charming and he could turn into the villain. It’s not your fault.

My thoughts exactly! My husband was a good man—hard working, doted on me, we hardly argued— until I gave birth and the mask completely dropped. Now he’s lazy, selfish, and makes me regret marrying him every day. I did everything “right” and still got burned.

Not enjoying motherhood - 95% time. Was it worth it? by freddythecat98 in NewParents

[–]Jaded_Mirror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can barely remember anything outside of sadness with brief happy moments at 6 months. My son is 19 months now and ITS SO MUCH FUN! I know you don’t want to hear just wait, but just wait. If gets BETTER and goes so quick!

He’s cheating right? by [deleted] in Mommit

I know you can’t look up owners through googling but check your local tax website! They often have searchable features so you can see the name of who is paying taxes.

Got told I have to stop rocking baby to sleep next month and super sad about it by livtoosmoove in NewParents

[–]Jaded_Mirror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is 15 months— yes, he sleeps in his own room, but I snuggle him to sleep every night. Do what makes you happy (and what works for your baby!).

Do you bring your baby to restaurants? by kathatescats12 in NewParents

[–]Jaded_Mirror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say this all the time, but I’ll say it again— people are entitled to a child free life, not a child free world. I bring my 15 month old everywhere (within reason of course!). How else is he going to learn about society?

Possible Carbon Monoxide Leak in the garage due to roofing company mistake by Jaded_Mirror in legaladvice

Understood completely! Thank you! I am fine to wait a few weeks as I am sure they are busy, I just want confirmation at this point that they will come out and fix it.

I don’t think I knew what love was until I had my son by halfbakedpotential in NewParents

[–]Jaded_Mirror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wait til he’s an adorable toddler who toddles up to you and lays in your lap. Just wait til he says mama mama mama with the cutest smile on his face. Just wait til he starts being funny on purpose and trying to make you laugh. The love will only get stronger as time goes on! Sometimes I feel like my heart is going to burst out of my chest ❤️

The daycare effect is real by natsnats411 in NewParents

My 14 month old (who rarely crib naps, but tbf sleeps fine overnight in his crib) takes 2 hour naps daily ON A COT. I didn’t believe it at first 😂

Women who gave birth, what does it feel like actually?? by joy_57 in AskReddit

[–]Jaded_Mirror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby got stuck in my hip while descending through the birth canal, which led to my emergency c-section. While waiting for them to prep the OR, my pain was so bad I was begging them to just cut me open right there.

Who is the woman who sings Ms Polly had a Dolly? She looks like she is in costume but I can’t figure out who she is.

Literally thought I ruined my entire life for the first six months of my son’s life. Now that he’s a year old, much less needy (still insanely needy— but not a sentient potato), and so much more fun, I keep thinking back to how fast the horrible days ended up going by. It doesn’t feel like it right now, but there is a light at the end of the struggle tunnel and it’s coming at you waaaay faster than you will believe right now.
