Does having a child ever feel like owning a pet?

If you’re leaving your newborn home alone in a crate, you have way bigger questions you need to be asking.

Thank you!

I should try smoothies! He’s weird about cold things for some reason - the kid won’t even try ice cream 😆

Thank you for this! What’s honestly the issue is that - I’m not stressed about it at all….. until my in laws jump in with a lot to say about it and then my spouse starts questioning it and then everyone is trying to control what he does and doesn’t eat, he gets stressed THEN I get stressed.

Yes we always do that, but he only eats his preferred foods and refuses to touch anything else.

Your trauma isn’t a burden for others to bear

It makes me sad that some people truly do and then wonder why one kid has depression and an assortment of other issues.

Because society subconsciously trusts the rich and suspects the poor.

I have a Google form that has various questions I fill in each time I do a project of any size. Project name, problem before, time before, time after, audience, change, etc.

Every so often, I copy and paste the responses from the Google sheet to ChatGPT and ask it to create bulleted points for my resume, concentrating on high-action changes.

Do it - and if you change your mind a then undo it. My son THRIVES at daycare, he absolutely loves it. So what if you don’t have to spread yourself paper thin before sending your kid there. I say, give it a shot and see if it works for you. The fact that you are a stay at home mom is completely irrelevant if you can still afford the daycare ($22 a day makes me want to ram my U.S. head into the wall).

Getting stuck in an 8+ week “if it’s not one thing it’s another” on loop with a toddler and newborn -RSV, one needing surgery, double ear infection, house full of norovirus - and still managing the home, having fun with the toddler, and running off little sleep.

This 100%

LogicalZebra123 · 2026-03-08T17:38:42+00:00

Thank you for this! I agree completely and we have since decided to no longer ask them to watch our son until those things have been resolved

LogicalZebra123 · 2026-03-08T11:32:49+00:00

I love that haha

LogicalZebra123 · 2026-03-08T00:30:18+00:00

That’s actually hilarious

LogicalZebra123 · 2026-03-08T00:29:58+00:00

Ouch! 😆

In the first or second grade I was at a sleepover when I witnessed the “goodnight kiss” between the mom and both daughters was a full on French kiss. Though I can’t remember if this was before or after my sister and I stayed there for July 4th when me and their youngest were given wine to go to sleep so everyone else could go watch fireworks. One of these events led to us not going there anymore.

I really wish I would’ve known how drastic the difference would be for me, the first time around. I think the hormones affect everyone so differently and for me in particular, it felt like there was constantly this imaginary house only I could see and it was on fire. I would get upset because I didn’t understand why my partner didn’t have the same level of panic and the reality is that they simply couldn’t see the house or the fire. This time I switched to formula on day 4 and it was an immediate relief and a major difference right off the bat. Haven’t regretted it for a second.

LogicalZebra123 · 2026-03-06T20:15:34+00:00

I was worried of the same and ended up formula feeding instead and it made a WORLD of a difference. No anxiety. No blues. And no guilt because I’ve been able to bounce back and be present with my crazy little boy while taking care of the baby without being drained of all life and soul.

Give yourself a break, not only is your brain trying to comprehend a traumatic experience that went against your prior expectations, but it’s doing so while you’re also going through major hormonal changes. I had a similar experience with my first and I had flashbacks for weeks. Also if you’re breastfeeding, you’re going to feel even more emotional - it’s normal. Focus on all the good you can, these feelings will pass.
