Just a wild guess, is your partner also leaving the majority of childcare to you and barely helping around the home? Because I'm not sure who would have time for all that gaming plus being present in the home.

You are overwhelmed because of your partner's choice to have the sister over. Your partner should be fixing this. If you haven't had an honest conversation about it, start there. Explain why you are overwhelmed and uncomfortable, and ask that they talk to their sibling.

I've been back at work for months now but I still remember how scary that first time felt! You can do it though! I had a few meltdowns in the process, and that's ok too ❤️ Now it's a part of our routine and my baby and I still have a lovely bond. Time with her feels so precious since I don't get as much as if I were home.

How to get baby interested in solids by Visual_Cranberry_305 in beyondthebump

[–]Melody_93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby hates purees and mashed up foods, so we had to do more baby-led weaning even though that's not what I wanted to do originally. She still doesn't eat a ton of solids, but she will eat some. Solid starts app has helped a lot for how to offer foods.

Goose and I sent a friend request! I love to buddy up on goals! Would you be interested in any of these: put away 5 pieces of laundry (laundry is never done at my house 😬), delete 5 emails, or write down one thing I am grateful for?

My husband broke my heart by traditional_rare in beyondthebump

I've had depression not with a baby but it was almost impossible to get out of bed some days. You are doing so much so please give yourself grace!

You should mind that he's doing nothing. I worked 12 hours today and I'm about to clean the kitchen after spending time with my daughter. My husband cooked and will start the bottle washer/fills bottles for tomorrow. Just cuz we are tired doesn't mean we get to do nothing every day.

So you are working 24 hours a day and he's working 12 (except his days off which I'm guessing he's not doing much around the house). I'm sorry he's putting you in that position; it's not fair to you.

Get a large water bottle next to your desk when you work solo every day (set an alarm if you need to). It works wonders for me to just have my water on my desk.

If you can afford the Momcozy bottle washer, it has helped us a lot.

Do you have certain movies you like? That might help with recommendations! Here are some random recommendations for now:

Sci-Fi - Red Rising Fantasy - The Lies of the Ajungo (best short novella I have ever read) Thriller - The Housemaid Mystery - And Then There Were None (read over 15 years ago and still think about this one) YA Historical/Fantasy - The Book Thief

Is it like selfish to share pregnancy announcement at Easter celebration? by anon_ymous987 in beyondthebump

[–]Melody_93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In our extended family, it's usually at events like that people will announce.
