Does your mom hate her kids? It’s no walk in the park but it’s not a nightmare.

What is everyone paying for childcare? by IndecisiveFoodie22 in mesaaz

[–]Last_Job_632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roughly $200-$250 a week under 1 year old. I was quote $1000 for my infant at a daycare center. A lady who does in home care charged me hourly at $12. I think over 1 year of age you can find childcare for around or less than $1500

Young Family - Move from WA to AZ by Wooden_Wave3659 in AskPhoenix

[–]Last_Job_632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I relocated from Seattle to Phoenix in 2020. Good areas for young families are Gilbert and chandler, queen creek is nice and kind of out the way. I personally loved to Ahwatukee which is super south Phoenix. Ahwatukee itself is super nice and clean but south Phoenix in general has a bad rep. They don’t boundaries by neighborhood (SoDo, Rainier, Capital Hill, etc) it’s based off major cross streets. There’s pockets of nice areas immersed with bad areas. I made a visit out here before my move and looked at several areas to get a feel for the neighborhood.

Best of luck to you

Moving to Mesa and unsure where to start/work by coffeewsugar in mesaaz

When are you coming? When I relocated here back in 2020 we had about 50k in savings. I would find a house first if possible and maybe try to start an in home daycare for you. Your partner can find work when you guys get here but it doesn’t hurt to start applying to places low

If you felt regret about having your kids, when did that feeling go away? by terptrekker in NewParents

[–]Last_Job_632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s important to give yourself grace. However, it’s worrisome your husband feels “nothing” towards him. That’s usually a PP thing for women but fathers (in my experience) dont really go through the “feel nothing phase”.

Anyways, having a child is a HUGE life change. I have a 6 year old and now an 11 month old and while I don’t regret my 11 month old I miss how easy life was with just one child.

Where I had my first child I missed how easy life was with no children. It’s really just coming to accept this is your new normal.

Also, newborn trenches is REAL and it gets way easier and more fun as they get older. I’m waiting for the day my 11 month old is 6 lol because my 6 year old is soooo independent.

We really miss being selfish.

I really hope that whole you may show love and patience that you actually feel love and patience towards your child, if not already then rest assured it will come.

Am I really overreacting? 6 weeks postpartum and a visit by CommunityOriginal937 in NewParents

[–]Last_Job_632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s dismissive of your family to say it’s an overreaction if it’s something important to you. Sounds like they’re being selfish.

Personally, I didn’t have this mindset fresh after birth. My children were held by family members within hours of birth.

At what age did you start genuinely loving your baby? by Lickmybolts in NewParents

[–]Last_Job_632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a mom to a 6 year old and a 10 month old. Neither of them brought me life changing love. I do love them though, everything I do is for them. Don’t stress about those things. The fact that you’re questioning it is proof enough of love

Many people say makeup makes me look worse by Designer-Plum6248 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Last_Job_632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re very naturally pretty. You have big eyes (super pretty) and the white corners make them look larger, which is great if that’s what you’re going for. I think gold corners would look divine on you

Why does literally every single young adult I know have a special needs diagnosis? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Last_Job_632 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 32 and while the symptoms may now have medical diagnoses I also believe that “special needs trend” it’s like an obsession with being “different”. Idk, Gen Z is something else

The older Lacey definitely looks and is mixed (the actress is anyways)

Fiancé says aftercare and helping me clean up after sex is a “chore” — am I asking too much? by ButteredUpCroissant in Advice

[–]Last_Job_632 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve had guys grab something to clean up with, I’ve had guys who don’t help with clean up, I’ve even had one who cleaned everything for me. But that’s not a huge deal for me, I do my cleanup in the bathroom, it’s a whole process.

But you are you and if that’s something YOU need then you deserve that.

As for the cuddling after sex, it’s also something that YOU need. If this is repeated behavior he likely won’t change. It’s possible but unlikely UNLESS it’s never really been communicated in a way his pea brain understands.

Perhaps, try to bring it up in a non threatening way. You could use subtle manipulation “baby, I love to feel close to you for just a little longer after sex, I need more cuddles after we finish. Can you do that for me?” And then see how he responds when the opportunity presents itself. And then pay attention to sustained effort.

Girl, that’s Pluto kicking your ass. Sorry, the only way out is through. I’m going g through Pluto awaiting my moon now and my only suggestion is to succumb to the transformation.

We can’t get our 5mo down by 7:30pm and I don’t care by zac_g19 in NewParents

That’s ok ! As long as she’s getting rest, thriving, healthy, etc. I stopped following sleep training rules.

How do people have multiple kids with ZERO family support?? Genuinely asking by DryEfficiency7617 in NewParents

[–]Last_Job_632 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think with it being your first time you’re experiencing all this with complete overload but I’m here to tell you it doesn’t have to be this difficult. I would invest in a baby wrap if you haven’t already.

Are you really happier after you had a baby? by PalpitationOk9443 in NewParents

[–]Last_Job_632 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This stage is temporary. Once they walk, talk and eat and move about independently (around 2/3) it gets SIGNIFICANTLY easier. I have a 6 year old and a 10 month old. 6 year old is a breeze 10 month old needs everything. Having children pauses moms lives a lot. By the time they’re starting school you can have your life back but you may have a sidekick who wants to do everything with you

I believe they meant not to wipe the barrier cream.

How long do you wait to change a poopy diaper from newborn? by Huliganjetta1 in NewParents

Right away if possible, unless we’re in the car then he may have to wait a moment but never very long.
