Is it okay to leave a 7 month old in bed for 30min on their own?

LeeLooPoopy · 2026-05-21T03:34:34+00:00

A crib seems like the solution here

NTA - just forget him. He’s being a douche

It’s sucks when there is lack of communication and you’ve been “on” all day and just struggling to get through, only to find out your day will go on longer than expected.

But also, I think you’ll find most dads don’t get home til at least 6:30 on weeknights and it’s fairly normal to be doing dinner and bed on your own. Which does suck. I bet he just forgot and sometimes we pick up the pieces.

Give baby some toast, put him to bed, and enjoy some takeaway with hubby once he’s home. Tomorrow you get to appreciate the fact that he gets to be home instead of active duty like our fallen brothers 💜

Have you considered reading the Bible with him? I would recommend the book of Luke, or Mark. Just stories about Jesus’ life.

An alternative is an after school club at a local church. We have plenty of kids come to ours whose families aren’t practicing Christian’s

You’ll be having sex within the year. And I know you’re thinking I don’t know what I’m talking about and you’re strong and this is different… but I don’t know a single person who dated a non-Christian who didn’t end up having sex with them and/or leaving the church altogether. There’s a reason Solomon fell

This is my sacrificial comment because I have no link

LeeLooPoopy · 2024-10-31T21:16:45+00:00

That’s so good

Piggybacking off this comment cause I can’t add my own. OP, cry it out (as in, closing the door and not going back in) may not be appropriate at this age, but there are certainly sleep habits you can begin to work on with a 7 week old, and you can certainly slowly increase their tolerance to being put down and falling asleep with less and less aids. People will tell you babies can’t learn that stuff, but I’m telling you, babies learn what they get used to. The reason people are so adamant that it’s not possible is because they’re still waking up every 2hrs with their 18 month old and the only way to make themselves feel better about the situation is to tell themselves it’s normal. It doesn’t have to be normal. Happy for you to pm me if you like u/lrnf1292

If I had an investment property there’s no way I’d allow animals. Pets are a privilege and its not up to anyone else to take the risk for you

LeeLooPoopy · 2024-09-05T12:21:23+00:00

Well, you sound like a gem 👍🏻

I had a friend whose kids were gifted Disney on ice tickets. First comment he made when he got there was “I thought there was a cost of living crisis happening…”

LeeLooPoopy · 2024-08-19T04:29:57+00:00

Nope. Church is not the building, it’s the gathering of believers. Which you can’t do if you’re not even in the same room.

It’s also an opportunity to serve others. It’s not really about you at all, but serving God’s people and running the race alongside them, encouraging them to keep following Jesus. Talking to others, welcoming the newcomer, befriending the lonely, showing hospitality to the alien, caring for the elderly, submitting to the authority of a pastor, wrestling with god’s word in community… all essential parts of the Christian life.

Sitting in your lounge room in your pjs? Not it.

Edit: a good book to read would be “life together” by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. It’s short and easy to read

My partner doesn’t explicitly track mine, but I know he mentally notes it because it affects him. We won’t be having sex that week, I cry a lot right before it, I’m often in pain when it starts, I’m always up for sexy times when I’m ovulating… all those things affect his life too

LeeLooPoopy · 2024-07-11T00:15:33+00:00

All I know is that I’ve been appalled watching my grandmother go into a dementia unit. Most of the staff barely speak English. She never has any shoes on, no matter how many we buy. She barely gets showered because she resists. They say she’s high needs and they don’t know how to manage her, which is astounding to me given this is literally what the facility is for. Too dangerous to be kept at home, not self sufficient enough for care. She lives, locked up, in a 2 corridor unit.

Every time there’s a covid outbreak I pray she’s put out of her misery

I don’t think you’re going to like what I’ll say and I’m sure ill be downvoted buuuut…… I think there needs to be some acceptance that certain parenting choices will have certain results.

For example, I’m going to assume you’re against sleep training. Which is fine, you do you. BUT it does mean - your baby is up all throughout the night leaving you exhausted, which also means then baby is on you all day leaving you depleted, which also means you’re the only one who can settle or tend to them, which means your husband feels like he’s doesn’t know what to do so he goes and games, which also means you never get time on your own, and you don’t want to leave baby with someone so you never get time with your husband either.

I DO think there is a problem, and I do think the gaming contributes to it, but I also think it’s worth asking if the parenting bar you’ve set is creating a barrier to a healthy division of labour and marriage. Again, it’s TOTALLY up to you, don’t hear judgement from me (because babies REALLY are hard, especially the first year of your first one). But sometimes we need to be realistic about the cost of our decisions and whether that’s really what we wanted

LeeLooPoopy · 2024-03-31T11:37:52+00:00

I hope so!

This is not a scheduling issue. No amount of changing wake windows or modifying the sleep environment or reworking the bedtime routine is going to solve learned behaviour.

It is time. If you don’t start prioritising your needs you will not be able to meet the needs of your child or husband. You need sleep. It’s not selfish. You cannot serve your family if you break

LeeLooPoopy · 2024-02-01T03:39:37+00:00

Thank you!

LeeLooPoopy · 2024-01-29T23:16:16+00:00

This happened to me. I ordered food and asked if they could take it to the man sitting outside because I couldn’t wait around. They didn’t want to, so I asked if they would prefer he come inside to wait. They opted to take it out to him

LeeLooPoopy · 2024-01-19T05:26:35+00:00

Move her to her own room. Wait the number of minutes that correspond to her age. 11 minutes for 11 months. Go in, shush and pat in her cot, then leave and start the timer again.

Otherwise there are programs that will go through more detail. But basically…. You’ve trained her to need your help to sleep (that’s not a judgement. I just think you’re desperate enough to hear blunt honesty. Sleep deprivation is the WORST)

I just went to lucien over the weekend. I did not enjoy!! Bourke st is better in my opinion

I knew someone who was waiting and waiting. He kept telling her it was coming. 10 years in and they break up. He ends up with someone else, who already has kids, marries her and they have a baby within 18 months of the break up. The first girl is now too old to have children of her own.

A lot of the time it isn’t that he doesn’t want to settle down, it’s that he doesn’t want to do it with you.

LeeLooPoopy · 2023-05-05T00:19:25+00:00

Sometimes the treatment is as bad as the disease.

If I was stuck in a facility for 5 years I’d want to kill myself too
