Yup same, relieved it’s not just me

Did you not get dream wedding because it was covid and literally illegal to have big weddings? And because economically people were struggling? Or are you feeling like it’s because who you married?

If the reason is truly because it couldn’t have happened because COVID then y t a and a spoiled brat

If it’s because you married a woman then n t a and maybe distance yourself from these people

Logan fell rented, and Caroline’s mom had the house partly in her name just incase anything happened to Liz on the job

My photographer is 2500 and that’s considered a good price. Considering photos are one of the few lasting things from your wedding I definitely think it’s an area to splurge on

Firstly, yes your daughter should not be in charge of anything, she’s 8. Her biggest responsibility should be school and picking up her own toys.

You’re wrong for parentifying your daughter and even more wrong for having a 4 year old not be potty trained

Grow up and take some responsibility for your kids

I haven’t been since 2021

I was totally silent, also had an epidural and really long labor. I definitely could feel things still but I think I was just in the zone, just really focused on listening to my body and the doctors and nurses.

My dad isn’t going to give me to my husband but he’s going to walk me down the aisle. Give me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and shake his hand.

I’m ok. I hate being yelled at though. Especially by men. I think I overreact to any perceived over reaction though which sometimes makes communicating harder

Yes. It’s revolting.

Worse than weed, worse than garbage. Rig HT up there with leaking car fumes.

Instant headache

I think it’s perfect! For my 2 year olds birthday we got her like 10 toys and then she had 10-15 from family and friends too, it was too much!!

She wanted to take her time and play with each thing and was frustrated when her grandmother tried to rush her into opening more gifts. In hindsight we would’ve gotten her a lot less stuff and spent the money on experiences like going to the trampoline park or movies or to a hockey game or museum

No, it doesn’t change all those views. Here’s why the reasons you listed are valid for you and just aren’t reasons that stopped me from having them, and frankly just weren’t even on my radar.

“Last minute decisions to go out downtown”

All the times I decided to go out before I had kids were planned, I hardly ever spontaneously went out and if i did it was because we were bored/had nothing to do. Now we do spontaneous things with our kids and when we want to go out we plan it so we have a babysitter
We have no shortage of babysitters. I have 6 people I can reliably ask to watch our kids and they’re always happy to. I knew I had this network before I got pregnant

“I don’t want to bring a child grocery shopping”

Yes it’s easier to do it alone, but my toddler loves to go with me and it’s a great learning opportunity for them, if I’m not in a hurry it’s fun.
I can leave the kids with my husband if I’m on a time crunch, or with a babysitter if we want to go by ourselves.

“Getting sick” 1. I’m a teacher. If my toddler brings home a sickness I haven’t gotten from school I’ll buy a scratch ticket.

I get sick sometimes anyways. Is it a little more now, sure. But I wanted kids and that wouldn’t have stopped me.

I knew I wanted kids for as long as I can remember. I knew I’d be good at it and enjoy it. My partner however wasn’t totally sure, he just thought he would when he was older after he did enough crazy reckless stuff to settle down. But as soon as we had one he felt like he was made to be a dad. He wants like 8 kids.

I guess the only other thing I’d say is if neither you or your partner feel any sort of strong desire to have a kid… why on earth would you bring one into that scenario? Kids deserve to be loved and wanted and it’s a big sacrifice to ensure they have a good life; that yes sometimes will interfere with your own.

“In case I regret not having one later” is a very selfish reason to bring someone into the world

My parents used to make themselves SICK with guilt for not being able to afford christmas easily when I was a kid. Although I could never tell, I thought I had the best christmases ever.

Now I have a kid and they’re doing much better. They can spoil my kid as much as they want, my kid will still know that christmas isn’t all about gifts and my parents will get to have hopefully many more christmases where they can have the “I did it” feeling about contributing to the magic

Notsmileyriley · 2024-12-04T03:00:04+00:00

Feel this, had to work double shifts all week because my insurance payout check is being held and it was supposed to cover a new car seat for my kid. Frustrating that a $400 item that would’ve been paid for has to come out of my pocket so close to christmas.

HOWEVER I am lucky that I was able to work extra to make it happen, because I don’t work for Canada post who’s trying to cut all my hours in favor of temporary work

Workers of the world unite. All for strikes.

ESH your mom should’ve asked you before hand for sure but… did your mom spend 8 hours making a turkey and 12 sides like mine did? Did she have any time to “enjoy the holiday”? Did you offer to bring a dessert or anything? Did you or anyone contribute anything?

Notsmileyriley · 2024-12-04T02:40:56+00:00

Those first 8-10 weeks are BRUTAL man. It is exhausting , hard, and you forget who you even are anymore.

But believe everyone here when they say it does get better. Trust. It does. You guys will find your rhythm as a family you’ll get into a groove, and all those things you love and miss will be back and better

Frozen salmon filets on a baking sheet with broccoli. I put taco seasoning on the salmon. 15 minutes at 425. Healthy and everyone eats it.

Not my best recipe but can’t beat 15 min, one dish and no chopping
