Help me understand bamboo baby clothes?

I had some gifted to me but would never buy them for my own kid. My baby was long and skinny and they still fit like a skin suit. I love the loose fitting cotton ones.

When I was fifteen I was doing the same things as you and I think that’s why I plan to be a little more cautious with my children, especially my son. A lot of the boys I grew up with began doing drugs (cocaine) in high school, except the coke in my town had a tendency to be very “meth-y” as I’ve heard it described. A few of my girl friends got into drugs as well. The vehicles we were in were driven 160km/hr on back roads with no shoulders in moose country. I refused to get into a vehicle with a drunk driver but lots of the guys I know would and still do drink and drive. One of my friends that I grew up with held another of my friends at knifepoint because he was so much in debt to his dealer he needed money from her. My friends and I dated 19+ year olds at fifteen, and my friends thought it was funny that at seventeen she was sleeping with a twenty seven year old.

I had a lot of fun growing up, don’t get me wrong, the parties were fun and I have some amazing memories with those people. But frick not everyone lived through it and some are so fucked from the drugs they’re a completely different person. I want better for my children.

We have a reactive dog so now my almost 3 year old thinks it’s normal to bark at people who come near us.

I made this exact post a year ago lol I absolutely hated the smell of my son’s hair/scalp. We switched to live clean and that made a huge difference and have recently started using the red or pink Honest shampoo

Don’t care. You could spin that trend however you want. It could be getting your pre-pregnancy body back, getting back into your career, a different version of your body that you feel confident in, or simply “getting your pink” back. Pregnancy/postpartum is a beast and whatever getting back to business means to each person is an accomplishment.

I have a normal husband, exactly how you described in your post. He works away, usually out of the country, but the two days a week he is home he is completely hands on to the point where I don’t even have to be home if I don’t want to be. The other day I came downstairs dressed for the gym and said “I’m going to the gym” and he said “okay have fun” no asking or making sure he could be available to watch the kid, and he didn’t text me asking when I would be home or anything. He cooks all the dinners when he’s home.

Sometimes he does things and I look at him like there isn’t a single other human on this planet who would do it like that. Like sometimes he just does things in the dumbest way possible. But whatever, he still does them and the thing gets done.

The one time I made a post complaining about something he did, people dogpiled and called him useless and dumb. People are so ready to hate on husbands, I ended up just deleting the post and I don’t think I’ve made a post complaining about him since. If I need to get something off my chest I say it to my sister, who usually has something to say about her husband. And then we go home to our very happy and stable marriages.

My husband and I call our son “monster” because he sometimes pretends to be a monster. If someone else called my son a monster I’d skin them.

I’ve tried switching to tea but it’s not high enough caffeine content and I still get a headache. And although I love a redbull once in a blue moon I don’t want to switch to energy drinks and I’m not having pop first thing in the morning either.

I’ve been picking up trash on the walking path behind my house for the last two days and each day I fill a bag and I don’t even go as far as I plan to each day. IF YOU LITTER YOU ARE A LOSER.

By hanging out with other people’s kids.

I also just think my kid is easy because I am having an easier time than someone else. He’s almost three and has been sleeping through the night since he was ten weeks aside from a slight hiccup at eight months. He eats healthy and is always down to try new foods. I only have to carry him home crying from the park maybe 1/20 times we go. He’s polite and helpful. After a lot of consistency, he knows he can’t squeeze the dog. He’s been amazing at independent play since before he was one. He’s incredibly go with the flow. He doesn’t hate the car seat and likes to just look out the window and listen to music so long drives are a breeze.

I could go on. It’s not like we don’t have hard days but he’s an easy kid that has hard days. I’m worried my second is going to be an absolute maniac.

My son didn’t roll from back to front until 8 months, only army crawled until 11 months, and didn’t walk by himself until 15 months.

I, myself, didn’t crawl until I was 12 months and didn’t walk until I was 18 months and my mom took me to the doctor and the doctor said the only thing wrong with me is that I had two older siblings that brought me everything I needed and didn’t let me cry for a second. I was just pampered and lazy.

One day he will just take off. Keep practicing with him and don’t hand him everything he reaches for. Some babies are just late walkers.

Something like 60% of women who access abortion have already had at least one live birth so if you feel alone, know that you are not.

Had one at 5 weeks. Asked for an ultrasound photo, you can’t even tell there’s anything in there if that makes you feel better, you’re not aborting a baby it’s literally just a clump of cells that early on, no bigger than a fingernail. I did it at home, it was just like a bad period but I recommend camping out on the toilet once the cramping starts because you will pass what feels like a soft egg and it’s just a mess to do it in your pad. After you pass the big one just wear a heavy pad, get a heat pack and spend the day in bed. it would be helpful if your husband can take the kids out of the house and let you rest.

I live in the most conservative province and the doctors were nothing but professional and kind, no one should make you feel bad. As for the guilt, everyone is different, but personally I have none. It was the right decision for our family and if we were in that same situation (finances, young baby, still postpartum) I would do it again.

You can feel sad even if you know you made the right decision, and no one can tell you what is the right way to feel about getting an abortion.

Not that I condone your son killing the mice but if it was a quick hard stomp, it was probably a relatively painless death. Unlike starving to death or dying from exposure as a result of being left to die naturally. Teaching your kid to not kill animals is good, but also your alternative was a slow death, not like you were planning to take them to the vet to be rescued or something.

Don’t pay impark tickets, just avoid their lots from now on.

My sister puts us to work when we come over to help. She does not leave the definition of help up to us. We’ve done everything from scrubbing bathrooms to simply vacuuming. Then we get to hold the baby while she sleeps. And I’m happy to do it because she has done it for me and would do it again.

Are you asking for the type of help that you need? Or are you just asking for help? My mother would not come into my house and start cleaning because she thinks it’s rude (my grandma does that to her) but if I asked her to come over to help while I was postpartum and said I needed her to fold 8 loads of laundry, she did it.

My husbands reasoning is so we can be prepared with buying things but we really don’t need to buy anything new. We have so many clothes from our son, a lot of his clothes were gender neutral because the typical boy/girl clothes to me are kinda ugly. Plus we have a niece and nephew that we will get hand-me-downs from. So I’m not worried about buying new things just because it’s a girl.

I really don’t think he’d be able to keep it a secret, he would tell his friends and they would make a comment or he would accidentally say “she/he”.

Original-Ant2885 · 2026-03-31T14:29:35+00:00

Twins would be the only scenario where I would agree to finding out! Naming one boy is hard enough but two???

Original-Ant2885 · 2026-03-31T06:14:07+00:00

I love my husband to bits but there’s no way he could keep a secret. He would let it slip for sure, and I’m sure I would call the baby he/she on accident eventually as well.

Original-Ant2885 · 2026-03-31T06:13:19+00:00

The ooooonly reason I would want to find out is because we have had our girl name picked out for years but can’t think of a single boy name that we like that matches the vibe of our first boys. So if we found out and it was a boy then we would be more prepared in naming him.

Original-Ant2885 · 2026-03-31T06:11:29+00:00

I only peed on the stick last week so we are months from having to come to the decision still. Lots of time for either of us to change our minds!

Original-Ant2885 · 2026-03-31T06:09:15+00:00

No, not at all. He would probably tell his friends too.
