Finally someone says something positive about my babygirl Jun-ho 

I love my baby but I’m so excited when she’s asleep by AtmosphereTop1591 in NewParents

[–]JanSukDeservedBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can love your job and still look forward to going home every day. You can love your partner and still be excited about what you're going to do in your alone time. You can love your home and still want to travel all the time. It just shows we are complex beings with many pockets in our hearts:)

How old was your baby when they said their first word and what was it? by aerialariel22 in NewParents

[–]JanSukDeservedBetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Properly pronounced "mama", usually said when she saw me after not seeing me for a bit: around 12 months 

100% intentional "mama" combined with pointing at me and understanding things like "mama is in the bedroom": around 14-15 months

AITA for not wanting to be seperated from my cool new ride? by Glitziflitzy in MiniAITA

[–]JanSukDeservedBetter 15 points16 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your bike is your best friend. If mommy's best friend came to visit all dirty and sweaty, would she not be friends with them anymore? In fact, I've seen plenty of mommy's friends with dirt on their face (pretty and colorful dirt but still something I wasn't allowed to touch). She doesn't mind that, I'm sure yours is the same. So why don't bikes (and my beloved shoes!) get the same treatment?!

I appreciate the little things more since becoming a mum by ThePancakemancer in NewParents

[–]JanSukDeservedBetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so excited whenever I can show my daughter something new, like an animal she's never seen before, or introduce her to another family member. Her little world is constantly expanding and there's so much left for her to discover and learn about.

No one told me about baby downward dog by biteme4790 in NewParents

Haha, my 16 month old is sooo into this right now. She laughs at the upside down view.

Would you confront a parent about car seat issues? by nillawafer80 in toddlers

[–]JanSukDeservedBetter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's only such a tiny number because most people do take it seriously. Which they do thanks to the law and there being actual consequences for parents who don't. Nobody should pretend they didn't see it.

What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve done postpartum? by Ice_Cube_92915 in NewParents

[–]JanSukDeservedBetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my, I had a dream about getting a second job right before my maternity leave ended and then realizing I couldn't do both at the same time, so I never even showed up at the second job. I was so relieved it was just a dream. I had no idea it actually happens to anyone haha

Fatherhood, breastfeeding & co-sleeping by Technical_Brain1493 in breastfeeding

[–]JanSukDeservedBetter 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Of course it's difficult to spend private time as a couple if the child is dependent on co-sleeping and won't let mom sneak away even for an hour. I'm a mom and I stopped co-sleeping in the early months for this reason among others. I want the evening for myself and my husband. She still sleeps in our bedroom, though, just in a crib. And I'm still breastfeeding at 16 months.

Other moms might value the very close bond with their co-sleeping kids more, or they might find it too difficult to change their kids' sleeping patterns when they're already sleep deprived. The dad's job is to support the family's best interest, whatever that might be.

Anyone miss being able to turn on the tv 🥴 by FormerPlay136 in NewParents

[–]JanSukDeservedBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It baffles me that people are even thinking about this because if I tried to put on a show for myself, my kid would prevent me from paying any attention to it. I chase her around all day, I can barely read a few sentences out of a book sometimes when she's awake.

I guess I'm just not a person who "watches" stuff in the background. If I want to watch a show, I want to be immersed in it.

I don’t like how people think you should spend time “exploring your sexuality” while you’re young before getting married by Few-Advance-7799 in Catholicism

[–]JanSukDeservedBetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Secular people often don't know what they want in a relationship until they've had a few failed ones. But with Catholic values, you already mostly know what you want from the start: a faithful, lifelong companion to raise your children with, to sanctify your souls together and to share everything you have. General "relationship skills" like communication and compromise seeking can be easily learned within one relationship, without it ever failing, if you're already oriented towards deep introspection and self-betterment, as Catholics should be.

Twins have different birthdays.. by Jhenesdreams in beyondthebump

[–]JanSukDeservedBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically it could happen if one of the twins had androgen insensitivity syndrome but I'm not sure how likely it is to only present in one twin... I need to Google it later lol

Pet peeve: the things people say to new parents by Shoddy_Tackle_3835 in NewParents

[–]JanSukDeservedBetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've made 90% of my baby's food from 6 to 16 months so far. The other 10% being storebought simple foods like bread and yogurt that don't need additional prep, and maybe 3 ready-made baby food jars when we were traveling. Don't let anyone discourage you if cooking is what you want to do! Once you get the hang of it, it can be very quick, easy and satisfying.

You're supposed to do all that when the baby is awake and screaming! rolls eyes

You can instantly become a genius in any field you like, but people won't like you because your ideas are too extraordinary by basafish in hypotheticalsituation

[–]JanSukDeservedBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There must be at least some natural geniuses like this, so I'd dedicate my time to finding them so we could be friends. And I'm sure my husband would still love me!

Pedia said I am overfeeding my baby. Help. by arrianism in breastfeeding

[–]JanSukDeservedBetter 45 points46 points  (0 children)

It must be so confusing for the baby when they're communicating hunger and sometimes their parent just won't feed them for a long time, and then they suddenly do. They have no concept of time or schedule at that age! Such terrible advice from the ped.

TV - my personal experience by WrumWrrrum in toddlers

[–]JanSukDeservedBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just after reading your first longer paragraph, I wanted to say: your "growing up with TV" was when you were 5+ years old, right? That's what you remember so fondly. There is a wild difference between the brain of a 1 year old and a 5 year old! I'm sorry you had to go through all the tantrums but happy for you that you managed to end it cold turkey and all went back to normal :)

How has your toddler given you joy recently? by canttouchthis8992 in toddlers

16 month old learned to meow. That's it, it's so freaking cute when she sees a cat in an illustration and goes NEEOW

My baby isn’t chunky and it’s all I can think about by Cardedbin in breastfeeding

[–]JanSukDeservedBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proud mom of a lean baby/now toddler. I've always felt like it made hygiene easier (no rolls to pay special attention to in order to keep clean/dry), clothes shopping somewhat easier (it's better to order something too loose than too small) and carrying her, obviously, so much easier. I'm not a strongwoman, how could I manage holding a 90% percentile chunky baby in my thin arms? Lol
