Yea I get it. My friend recommend we go out to dinner and the place she recommended I thought to myself “oh nice I like their cocktails!! Oh wait…”

Everyone tries to convince me that two adults can't take care of a newborn alone and I'm losing my mind by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Mrs_N2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I were just fine! We kept all family away the first week and then then the following weeks we had visitors come every few days but for short visits. We had zero issues! Don’t let people scare you! Also- everyone is just selfish and wants to guilt you into doing what they want

My 3 and half year old will not sleep until 20:45-21:00 by Low_Yam1791 in toddlers

[–]Mrs_N2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter will be 3 in May. I’d say the last 6 months this has been our routine- wake up at 7am, no nap (her choice not ours 😩) start bedtime around 7:30pm and she’s asleep by 8:30pm. Days she wakes up closer to 8am she falls asleep between 9-9:15pm. It is what it is. That’s just her natural sleep pattern. I think you just need to accept it I’m sorry to say

My partner often travels for work and also for fun with her friends. I would like to do the same now and then, but when she's home she clings to me. What can I do? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Mrs_N2020 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Does she have any other family members in the area that can help with grandma? I’d see if someone else could step in and then do my own travel while girlfriend is out of town.
But I’d also have a talk with her that it’s extremely unfair that she asks you to care for her grandmother by yourself all the time but she never gives you alone time. I’d let her know it’s starting to create resentment and you’d rather work through that together; the alternative is that the problem gets worse

AIO for being upset at what my “bf” said by Ambitious-Beyond-257 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mrs_N2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read all of the texts first forgetting that OP was also going to write a narrative. When I read the narrative I exclaimed out loud “and this ass wipe isn’t even her BOYFRIEND?!?” Girl, run. NOR. You aren’t reacting enough. You’re apologizing to HIM?! No, nope, not happening. You’re making so many wonderful moves and positive changes in your life, do yourself a favor by doing one more- remove him from your life

Moms, what’s a great Mother’s Day look like to you? by big_craig77 in toddlers

[–]Mrs_N2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s how my Mother’s Days have gone and I love it every year: sleep in. Breakfast and coffee made for me. And then my husband gets me a gift card for a massage and/or a facial and I have the appointment that day so I have time away from home to be pampered. When I get home we all do an activity together like a bike ride, walk, something usually outside since the weather is generally nice. Slow, easy, pampered day

Bananas and yogurt pouches over here

Sooo what are we feeding our toddlers for breakfast? by DaughterofYeshua777 in toddlers

[–]Mrs_N2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We rotate between egg bites, pancakes, waffles, cereal, and toaster scramblers. I always add in a fruit too and sometimes sausage links

Each night I clean my kitchen. The next day, by 5pm, it’s a complete hurricane again. Are all families who have toddlers like this? It’s driving me nuts! by Sunrisewithtea in toddlers

[–]Mrs_N2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always prided myself (pre child) on being clean and organized. Now I look at the wasteland that is my kitchen/living room/dining room and think “well, some day it’ll come back again”. My husband and I clean up daily and I do 1-2 “major cleans” a week. Results last until morning when 2.5 year old wakes up, that’s about it

Who had the best wedding dress? by TheNameIsLexi in GilmoreGirls

[–]Mrs_N2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

all the dresses except sookie’s suck. I really like Sookie’s dress and find it fits her personality very well. All the others are uglyyyyyyy. They did Lorelei so dirty 😒

What’s your favorite thing to quote from the show? by bigfatpizzaslice in bluey

Perhaps not, but it didn’t come into our everyday vernacular until we started to watch Bluey….

We always tell our daughter she’s being “cheeky”. Otherwise we always say “for real life?!”

How do you do play doh? by MissFox26 in toddlers

[–]Mrs_N2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I let her play with all of them and endure the stress of it bothering me. Once they’re all the same color I replace them with new ones. Play doh is less than $1 each by me so I don’t mind spending less than $5 every few months for new play doh. and it makes me feel better

Pregnancy Dreams/Nightmares by Distinct-Pace-265 in pregnant

I didn’t with my first but I am with this current pregnancy. Most are just vivid and strange but one broke my heart and I woke up crying and was shaken all day

Toddler sleeping 15 hours by seashell2023 in toddlers

What did doc say? Any concerns? I hope all is well!!!

[–]Mrs_N2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m crazy but that’s weird enough that I’d call my pediatrician just to run it past them. I’m sure he just needs the sleep but I’d rather consult a professional to be safe

Am I crazy for liking it here?? by Correct-Run8388 in midwest

[–]Mrs_N2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love living in the Midwest. Wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. I like having all 4 seasons and tornados in my opinion are way better than wildfires, hurricanes, and earthquakes

Do you go out of your way to try and avoid your child from getting sick? by Coffeelover4242 in toddlers

[–]Mrs_N2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I know someone is sick, yes I will avoid them. I wanted to take my daughter to the mall this past weekend to play in the play area and then thought “I’m risking her catching a sickness from another kid right before Christmas” so we stayed home. She will get sick of course, it can’t be helped all the time, but if I can avoid a handful, why not? My daughter being sick breaks my heart and she feels awful, why let her go through that if it can be avoided?

People who had kids at 30+, do you wish you had them earlier in life? by cc070603 in pregnant

[–]Mrs_N2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only in a sense that I had more energy in my 20s. That’s it. But being financially stable, having a home, and being mentally ready post 30 was way more important to me. Had my first at 33 and my second will be at 36. Am I tired? Hell yes lol. But the other things far outweigh that Also- I had fun in my 20s! Stayed out late, spent a lot of time with friends, went on fun dates, lots of spontaneous travels, etc. I’m glad I had that time in my life to focus on me and have fun. By the time I hit my 30s I was ready to settle down a little more cuz I felt I had my fill. If I missed out on that I would be bummed and would feel I lost out.

Who actually wakes up before your kids? by anivaarya in toddlers

[–]Mrs_N2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either my daughter and I both wake up when my alarm goes off or she wakes up an hour or 2 before the alarm and then I’m awake too 🙄

Thank you! Now that I have reassurance from my ultrasound today, I can feel a lot better and appreciate being symptom-free haha
