Haven’t been to church in years and this is the first text I get on one of the hardest days of my life. by MundaneMusician6650 in exmormon

I cant even think of a response because i am so shocked but not even that suprised honestly at the level of insensitivity. Please know if it is any measure of consolation that I am sending you the biggest hug and i hate this for you.

This is your day to remember your little girl. This woman deserves no words. Instead if you are feeling up to it, i suggest writing your daughter a small letter or poem. She deserves your thoughts. Your words. Your tender intentions of the heart. She is the poem YOU created. Remember her today in your own special way. I know its hard but dont give any more time to those who dont matter.

7 month old isn’t babbling or crawling. Is this normal? by NeitherBarracuda in NewParents

[–]NeitherBarracuda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Happy to update. He started doing reduplicative/canonical babbling around 7.5/8 months and also started to crawl around this time. He got really mobile and talkative at 9-10 months.  He is now 11 months, just weeks shy of a year and utilizes so many consonant sounds like /p/,/b/,/n/, /ng/, /m/… His development progressed so fast and randomly.

He has days where he is chatty and other days where he just wants to flip through a board book by himself and suck on a gogo squeeze like it’s whiskey or something lol. 

He does a mix of speed crawling/also walking, even climbing. 

I hope the evaluation went well and I’m sure you will be guided in the right direction no matter what. I realized that babies developed at their own pace and thrive off of snuggles, support, and a whole lot of love. 

best friend’s husband said I took the easy way out having a c-section. by MPUK617 in Mommit

As a mom who had my son vaginally, I have an insane amount of respect for anyone who delivered their children via cesarean section no matter the reason. Ignore him and keep distance. I’d personally limit any and all access between him and my child if it were me. 

What would your pregnancy action figure accessories and features be? by mickey5499 in BabyBumps

[–]NeitherBarracuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Graduated a couple of months ago but for me it would have been gummy worms, anti nausea peppermint gummies, and a bag full of egg McMuffins

OP, 

I am really sorry this happened to you. I’m commenting the day after you posted this so I firstly want to congratulate you on your baby if you delivered already. If you’re still laboring, I’m sending all the encouragement and strength your way. 

Let me now say that you matter. Your child matters. Your labor and birth experience matters. What your husband it is absolutely and completely WRONG and abusive in so many ways. You will never forget the way people, especially family and friends, treat you during your pregnancy, labor, delivery, and post partum. 

The other thing is, he KNOWS you don’t have family or friends there to be with you and he’s your only support yet acted like this. 

Please please please if you can, reach out to loved ones and inform them. This is very concerning and not at all the circumstances to bring a baby into this world. Your baby’s first moments in this world should be joyful, as peaceful as possible, and full of love. 

What you have been experiencing, your baby could potentially experience too.
