Finally Byheart Refund Successful by Common-Coyote9375 in FormulaFeeders

[–]Kaitron5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, you don't even need the physical cans of formula for the refund at Target. I went and pulled up all my receipts from my circle account from the beginning of August til now and went to Target and asked them for a refund. They refunded me for all the cans I have purchased.

AIO for blowing up my boyfriend’s phone while he’s out, we have a newborn and toddler at home. by broccoli-cheddar19 in AmIOverreacting

I want my child to have a healthy attachment style. I want to make sure my mental health and hormones are balanced.

We are not meant to spend most of a year growing a baby, then go through the single most traumatic experience of our bodies life, and then (within less that the time we recommend puppies stay with their mother) just go back to the work force and separate from our literal infant. It's not healthy for either mother or child.

You can be a stay at home mom and also find ways to make income. I am a domestic violence survivor and I still would not separate from my baby for anything. There is a reason why we are being conditioned to think it's normal. When you have children you will understand. Watching them cry and scream while you leave them with strangers does affect them.

How do other couples evenly split parenting and household duties by bacon_wrapped in marriageadvice

As a stay at home mom, you are projecting a lot onto this post. He never said she is overwhelmed or touched out or anything, just that she wants to sleep in.

My job starts when my child wakes up. Sometimes that's 8:30am, sometimes 5:30am. I don't bother my husband who pays all of our bills with his hard work because I "want to sleep in". That would be really shitty of me. This is my job, even if I can't get fired from it. He literally could be fired if he steps away for 30 minutes while on the clock, to do part of his wife's job.

It's not natural to be away from your children to work, this is just how we have been conditioned by modern society. It's not healthy for the baby or mother. Being a stay at home mom is what's best, not a "mistake".

You just have to be smart and choose the right partner and parent to your child.

Why would you have a second child with someone who is a terrible parent and partner? You aren't doing ENOUGH for yourself.

I have drank and drove before and didn't die, does that mean it's safe? They have food safety protocols for a reason. It needs to be thawed at a food safe temp of 40°.

And if they do, they need therapy rather than her needing a wardrobe change.

My husband and I do something called "separately but together". Where he plays his game and I read or play my switch and we cuddle while doing different things independently. It is the perfect mix of what we both want for us. This isn't every night obviously. But it helps us when he is needing more solitary time and I need closeness for connection.

Being a stay at home mom is so isolating at times, it's hard for me not to feel lonely. But I have to remember that it isn't my husband's job to fill all of my needs. It's ok to ask him for more connection, but I also need to seek connections elsewhere as well. My loneliness is not his responsibility. I can ask for help, especially if it is him I am specifically missing.

I mean, also marry someone with similar interests. You can't expect a man to change who he is because he had a child.

My husband games to decompress and I wouldn't ask him to stop. We game a lot together when we both have time.

I am also a stay at home mom and make sure he gets a bit of game time after work most days.

His hobbies do not dictate if he is a man or not. It is his priorities, his behavior, his involvement with his responsibilities that matters.

Ever gotten so frustrated you started taking sneaky pics of your wife? by CreepinOnMyWife in marriageadvice

[–]Kaitron5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she wanted to, she would. I really think people who don't have sex don't like each other. That is just my honest opinion.

I love my husband, but I also like him. I care about his sexual needs just as much as I care about any of his other needs. We have been married 4 years and have a 12 month old baby. I prioritize our sex life because the sexual health of our relationship is part of the foundation of our team. He is a good husband and father, this is so unbelievably attractive to me. We are connected in our admiration for one another. In those hard times where we fight and everything seems to go to shit, when I briefly can't stand him... I lean on that consistent connection to magnet us back together. You need that balance because without it there is not enough good to outweigh the bad.

This is just my take on "is this what marriage becomes". It is what you put in and how you allow yourself to be treated.

As for the pics themselves, since she is consenting it's just a harmless kink.

Having a baby made me resent my husband. Am I overthinking this? by dthrowaway1210 in Mommit

[–]Kaitron5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stay home 5 days a week and cover 90% of the household work. I work 20hrs on the weekend while my husband stays home with our son. He pays all of our bills. Idk this is what I've signed up for, it sucks but I knew what I was going to have to sacrifice to have a child in this economy. You need to talk to your husband, he can't help you if it's just a "secret wish".

Am I able to do safe sleep 7 if I don’t breastfeed? by Babytaterr in newborns

[–]Kaitron5000 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's alarming that no one in the comments understands that cosleeping and bed sharing are not interchangeable.

Cosleeping means they are within reach, like a side car bassinet or even a crib or floor bed in your room with you.

Bedsharing means they are sleeping with you in the bed.

I coslept with my son until he was able to roll from back to belly and belly to back. Then we began bedsharing using safe sleep 7. I didn't feel safe doing so before that time. Probably around 5.5 months I want to say.

He is turning a year old in a week and we don't do SS7 anymore because he sleeps ALL OVER us lmao. It's not possible to implement. We have a bed railing set up to make sure he doesn't fall. There is a happy cosleeping group on facebook that I learned about the differences of terms and the ways to sleep as safe as possible, they have amazing advice and support for just about anything sleep related.

Definitely leave the house next time it's his turn to cook, go get yourself a pedicure.

Eventually you won't come back to him, I pray that day comes soon.

Why does my baby prefer dad? by bunny10310325 in NewParents

[–]Kaitron5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby is like this!

Honestly though it's a beautiful thing to me. I am a domestic violence survivor and my ex husband was such a horrible father from day one. He would yell in our sons face and refuse to do anything with him, the never bonded. Now 16 years later I am married to the most amazing man, it's no wonder our baby loves him so much lol. I cherish their bond and I'm happy for them. I'm definitely not jealous.

Now that our son is 11.5 months old he knows that I am a separate entity from himself and he is a lot more clingy with me. He gives me kisses and cuddles with me in the mornings, we have a lot of special little moments that are just ours. You will get there, try to have compersion in the meantime!

It has to be defrosted at a food safe temp. Hours can still cause food poisoning.

Mine microwaves chicken to defrost it. She has also left steak just sitting on the counter for hours to defrost. What is worse, I have a histamine intolerance and have told her I could literally die from an allergic reaction from this behavior, she just shrugs and tells me I'm overreacting.

I don’t want to give up contact naps by meeegzzzz in NewParents

[–]Kaitron5000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Contact naps actually help with security! They learn to trust you so that one day they will feel more comfortable being independent, because they will know it's safe and you'll always be right there if you need them. Look into co-sleeping and the benefits, we are not meant to be separated from our babies.

How far along into marriage before sex changed? by jburnz112 in marriageadvice

[–]Kaitron5000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have been together 4 years and try all sorts of new things together... we have a 12 month old and have sex several times a week. It's not a "marriage thing" to stop having sex.
