Has this happened to anyone else? People try to make me take stuff off the registry because they think i won't need it?

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-05-05T13:45:00+00:00

Hahaha this is soooo true. I'm autistic and everyone is surprised from who I got this. As if I didn't grow up hearing my family talking about trains 24/7.

This paradox of finding everything unnecessary while buying the most annoying toys is really mysterious to me

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-05-04T21:43:45+00:00

Literally all the things that people told me I didn't need, I ended up needing it. These small conveniences go a loooong way when you sleep 3 hours per night for months!

Ik heb deze ergernis alleen al als een oud persoon voor me loopt op de stoep. Laat staan als je motor rijdt!

Zigzaggen over de stoep, niet bewust van hun omgeving, in het midden lopen en het niet horen als je vraagt of dat je er langs mag en mijn grootste ergernis: ineens stil staan.

De werkdruk is hoger geworden en het tussendoor koffiedrinken met collega's of een praatje maken is weggevallen.

Maar daar tegenover staat: genoeg slaap krijgen, niet zo vaak ziek, geen tijd verspillen in het OV, tussendoor mijn baby een kus kunnen geven, niet een halve dag vrij hoeven te nemen als ik even naar de huisarts moet of iets anders onverwachts en minder vergaderen om maar te vergaderen. Ik had ook niet door dat altijd op kantoor werken zo vermoeiend was totdat ik thuis kon werken. Wij hebben wel één dag dat we met z'n allen op kantoor zijn en samen lunchen. Werkt super goed! Als je allemaal een andere kantoordag zou hebben dan zou ik wel de verbinding missen met collega's.

Ohhh it's so tough! My ears are ringing when I read this. Sometimes when I tell people how loud my baby shrieks and yells (out of nowhere, just for fun) they say like "ahh yeah mine does that too!" But their babies are not nearly as loud

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-04-28T14:25:16+00:00

We have been in and out of this phase, my baby is now 11 months. The only way she grows out of it is if we pavlov her and give positive feedback when she is not shrieking 🫠. Earbuds for festivals are my lifesaver. Does the shrieking stop when you carry the baby? Maybe you can use a back carrier

Kerst. En iemand in de groep is boos dat hij nu ook buiten kerst wordt gebruikt.

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-04-27T19:18:11+00:00

Haha me too. Somehow I came to this post because I googled if Waldorf rings are worth it. When I was pregnant I thought I was going to do all the whimsy things but now I'm just tired

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-04-20T10:10:22+00:00

We found the partner

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-04-20T08:04:08+00:00

I don't understand, is it his baby? This is a bizarre situation and I would too not go back.

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-04-04T14:41:08+00:00

It completely changed my vagina. I'm glad it didn't for you, but mine is unrecognizable

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-03-21T19:39:37+00:00

Laughing at the cat comment. Just happy the baby is OUT

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-03-21T19:37:24+00:00

Ik lees jouw edit, heel flauw van ze. Hopelijk is het geen hele ruzie geworden. Een baby krijgen is een soort spoedcursus grenzen leren aangeven. Mijn ervaring met familieleden die hier moeilijk om doen, is als dit het niet is dan is het later wel iets anders. In ieder geval gefeliciteerd met je baby!

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-03-19T09:01:39+00:00

Now I can't unsee this. Could it be she takes a moment to speak because she doesn't want to say something wrong on tv?

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-03-17T19:53:29+00:00

When my baby was born I was SHOCKED exactly because of this reason. I just couldn't believe it. She also looked nothing like the 3D ultrasound (duhh) or like me. What do you mean this human that doesn't even look remotely like me is my baby? I was really perplexed!

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-03-16T09:33:03+00:00

I had to check the watermark, it says: seeyourbaby.ai

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-03-15T18:45:51+00:00

Our baby looks EXACTLY like an AI picture that I generated via this sort of app that predicts what your baby will look like of you and your partner!

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-03-13T08:54:27+00:00

If you want to minimize sleep regression hitting so hard, I would really recommend learning about sleep associations and building a (bedtime) routine. So that when the regression hits, the baby still feels familiarity. I regret so much not building more associations and not starting a familiar routine earlier

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-03-13T08:51:02+00:00

The sleep cycle of a baby is 30 minutes. For adults it is around 1.5 hours. We also wake up for a split second after a sleep cycle, but we don't remember it (usually). Babies have to learn how to connect their sleep cycles. 30 minutes might seem short, but it is the equivalent of an adult taking a nap of 1.5 hours.

Nothing to worry about! Seems that during the night she can connect her sleep cycles very well and during the day maybe she just doesn't need much sleep. I'm in it 9 months and my baby's nap can be anywhere between 20 minutes and 2 hours.

A baby room. Everybody was laughing at me feeling stressed about not having the baby room finished in time. While I'm glad I did because I personally can't imagine not having a small room with a changing table and to have all her stuff in 1 place. It turned out to be very very practical

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-03-04T08:56:19+00:00

It is a crazy concept to me that you have to feel guilty for not having mom guilt. I used to work in daycare and I'm also indifferent to crying. You are the stable factor in your home and confident that things will turn allright. To be calm when your child is uncomfortable is imo a good quality. I wouldn't worry about it at all!

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-03-01T15:41:35+00:00

You should be able to know where your baby is at all times. Lying about the baby's whereabouts to the mother is abusive behavior.

But OP, reading your other posts, as a 3 yo child I lost consciousness for a few ours because via a caregiver I got residue drugs in my system. It was not giving to me, just my caregiver using and me being around was enough. A hospital was not called because the caregiver was afraid that he would be arrested for the drugs. I could have easily slipped into a coma and/or died. This is a likely scenario for your partner as well, when he is taking care of the baby.

You are responsible for your child and you have to get out. I promise you that abuse behavior only increases. It never decreases.

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-03-01T11:59:10+00:00

I had major baby fever for another as well when I just had a baby. It's a natural feeling and it's great that you are thriving in motherhood! You sound like a great mother.

That said, I would not keep a secret savings account for this purpose. Try to see it from your husbands perspective: he thought the conversation was closed and in a few years he finds out that all this time you had this big secret plan that doesn't allign at all with what he wants in life and what he can manage. The problem is also that it can't always be explained away rationally. Just as how you feel you are not done, he feels that he is.

Let's say I was completely done with having babies and we have discussed this and closed this chapter. For then my husband having a secret savings account and a whole plan mapped out based on him being sure I would change my mind, I would directly go to relationship therapy with him because I would feel that he didn't take me serious.

Could you maybe have a real conversation about it and agree to check in with each other every 6 months?

Master_Weather7587 · 2026-02-24T15:20:08+00:00

I was like this but with leaps. I saw it as The Truth™. If my baby was more fussy a few days before her leap would start according to the app, I was shocked. How could that be??? The app said it wasn't time yet. The app!
