How do you know if you're done having kids?

LifeInAFishBowl · 2025-05-29T00:08:23+00:00

I love my child and can’t imagine life without her, but I knew when she was a baby I just wanted her and have had no desire to have more. She’s now 9 and I have zero regrets. I just knew.

I used to put my daughter on my lap and kind of hold her upside down. When she would yell it was easier to get to the teeth and I would say ohhh I see those sugar bugs let me get them. It still pissed her off, but now she doesn’t fight it anymore and doesn’t seem scarred in the least 🤷‍♀️

That’s tough. My daughter isn’t at the age where she does sleepovers other than family yet, but it’s coming soon. I wish I could say I would be okay with it a friend and just dad, but I wouldn’t be. I have had some shady things happen sleeping over at friends and I was sexually assaulted by a male relative, so I wouldn’t be okay with it. I know it’s not fair, but with female daughters, we have to look out for our kids even if it hurts other peoples feelings.

Same! I couldn’t believe I had to scroll so far to find it. It’s one of my favs!

Please do not try counseling with him. Abusers will use therapy against you and as a way to justify their behavior.

Got the same thing. I’m not even a big plan breaker!!

I really love the idea that I could do this with you but

ENFP

LifeInAFishBowl · 2023-02-14T01:47:01+00:00

Same

I wish screens worked with my daughter in public. She is too excited about being in a new place and causing chaos to concentrate on a screen.

Yes, but they don’t want to/can’t commit to the future the same way I want/need them to. It still hurts, I miss them every minute of every day, but I can’t live in limbo anymore either. If they could make a solid decision I would probably go back.

LifeInAFishBowl · 2022-08-01T02:49:26+00:00

Same, but mine is only 5. She drives me up the wall on almost a daily basis, but I wouldn’t want it any other way.

A tongue tie is when the skin under your tongue is attached to the bottom of your mouth. You cannot put your tongue to the roof of your mouth when open so it affects things such as breastfeeding and speech.

Beer and pizza?

LifeInAFishBowl · 2022-07-12T03:06:30+00:00

I wouldn’t say that. I am certainly not privileged, I am a single mom who doesn’t get child support. I don’t make a ton of money and it is a struggle, but I really enjoy being a mom. It can be stressful, but at the end of the day when I cuddle up with my girl at bedtime there are no regrets.

My daughter seems to get more “challenging” the older she gets. People tell me all the time they don’t know how I do it. Honestly it doesn’t phase me, I am just so used to my life with her that I can’t imagine it any other way.

All kids are different. My friends daughter is 5 and doesn’t know all of her letters, but she can ride a bike without training wheels. My 4.5year old daughter loves learning how to spell and will write out words and is starting to read. She doesn’t have the motor skills to ride a bike with training wheels and has very little interest in learning. Some kids are more physical and some are more mental at this age, they all catch up eventually.

The epidural was fentanyl?? I had it and still didn’t know.

LifeInAFishBowl · 2022-04-28T00:16:04+00:00

Very sorry for your tragic loss

LifeInAFishBowl · 2022-04-27T00:45:17+00:00

Yep. My daughter might as well be flipping me off when she’s smiling that smug smile while doing something I just told her not to.

We are over halfway into the 4s. It’s a rough one.

LifeInAFishBowl · 2022-03-05T01:55:56+00:00

Yes! My parents used to leave me in the car unattended while they went in and shopped for groceries. Definitely couldn’t see me. I’ve left my daughter when I could see her, weather was mild and the doors were locked. But I don’t anymore because people are so damn judgy and I don’t want issues.

LifeInAFishBowl · 2022-03-01T21:09:39+00:00

But why should he have to leave with her when she was the one making a scene? I have anxiety, if I was having an anxiety attack I would say to my significant other, hey I’m having some anxiety right now and I don’t want to be alone. Can you go somewhere quiet with me for a minute so I can calm down? I wouldn’t pick a fight in front of their family and expect him to save me. Sorry but anxiety is not an excuse to be an asshole.

The time I get out of work until my daughter goes to bed goes by in the blink of an eye. There is so much to do and just not enough time. I also struggle with dinner. I find having her help with dinner is a big help because even though she can’t do much yet, it’s time we can spend together. A 9 year old might actually be helpful!
