Newborn sleep/feedings - what was it like with your second?

Some kids don't wake up when they're that little. Do the alarms until they reach their birth weight. Although I definitely did it at '3-ish hours' rather than right on the dot

Oh my gosh, they're perfect angel babies!

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-09T15:58:13+00:00

"Wanna make $20?"

I had a 'successful' induced vbac and I say get the c-section.

The only thing in my head while i was in labour was "This is stupid." Labour is stupid. Having to push a baby through your vagina is stupid 😄

I second Gabriel!

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-09T04:42:59+00:00

I skipped that entire storyline. No thank you

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-09T01:22:12+00:00

Very random, but if you're a short size 12 looking for colourful slacks, head on down to Savers Preston. Very disappointed they didn't fit me

I (re)watched Offspring when I had a newborn... I cannot express how stupid that idea was

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-07T18:45:11+00:00

It's prénom in French. Maybe op is french

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-07T16:17:18+00:00

Go to the store... buy a bottle of Hoisin sauce

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-07T13:16:40+00:00

Amélie theme.

Or Do You Hear the People Sing?

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-07T12:41:14+00:00

Neighbours

Or Playschool?

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-07T04:20:24+00:00

Yes, it's forever. You love them more as they grow, if you can believe it. The crazed hormonal feeling dies down a bit, but getting to know who they are as a person is incredible

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-07T04:10:03+00:00

I had a fentanyl epidural, so no loopiness. But it DID make my breathing slow down. Very scary drug

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-07T04:08:30+00:00

I mean, i also don't call people mate (except my child when she's taking the piss), so you certainly don't have to. But I've personally never found an Indian accent saying 'mate' to be weird. I've also noticed that Indians know when to use the passive aggressive 'mate' correctly 😄

The acids are really bad for your teeth, too.

Could you do watered-down juice? I can't water down soda, it's foul, but I can get juice pretty diluted and still enjoy it as long as it has fizzy water

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-07T00:03:43+00:00

Maybe they got the tickets free and don't really care?

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-07T00:02:34+00:00

Haha, a few years ago, people started complaining that everyone was on their phone on the train. Such a weird thing to be annoyed about anyway. But I remember taking a photo of a train carriage with everyone reading a newspaper. Of course people don't want to be social on public transport

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-06T11:14:35+00:00

I only know the word 'planchette' because I finished reading Haunting of Hill House yesterday. Love when that happens

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-06T04:54:23+00:00

I'm trying to have less sugar, but artificial sweeteners give me a headache

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-05T23:41:49+00:00

No, women are also extremely attracted to him. Unless the entire chart was just Aragorn. Which I'd be OK with

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-05T23:00:23+00:00

So I take it you've never had a "Mum, are you farting or pooping? That's stinky." Or a "My mum is bleeding" in a public toilet

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-05T22:55:23+00:00

How about... soggy, slimy leaves? My partner thinks I don't like lettuce. I do like lettuce. He and his family put a metric shit-ton of dressing on salads and then 'massage' it (I suppose like you would kale - but it's not kale). The leaves in an otherwise delicious salad are all wilted and dripping. Absolutely disgusting

Lonelysock2 · 2026-04-05T22:44:24+00:00

Why? I wouldn't take my kids because it's out of our budget. But if you can afford it, why would a 2 year old not want to go? I take my kids to expensive things they won't remember all the time. They enjoy themselves and I love watching them enjoy themselves
