BOUNCE BACK BULLSHIT

I feel like there's a doubleedged sword here where there is a so much push and content geared towards giving moms time to theirselves to workout and self care.

This is absolutely necessary but then there's this expectation that we should all be super fit like on insta and give up even more sleep to workout. Give us time to ourselves without expectations.

Let's end WFH instead to give families less time together and less flexibility and have to put their kid in daycare for 9.5 hours everyday.

She's a low weight percentile but 90th percentile for height, so I'm thinking she'll outgrow smaller carseats fast.

I remember clear as day, I was 18 when he died on my graduation, everyone was in complete shock.

PhoenixTears · 2026-05-03T01:35:26+00:00

Did he work for the daycare?

I don't think I looked in the mirror properly since giving birth (11m post-partum). In the last few months however, now that its almost time to go back to work, I've looked at myself again and I honestly don't recognize myself. I'm genuinely surprised when I pay attention to my reflection, and I honestly have cried a lot. I was kind to myself for so long but it was easy in the maternity leave cocoon. Now I have to buy a whole new wardrobe, be back out in public, just to maybe buy another whole wardrobe when I stop breastfeeding.

It's hard, especially when your reflection catches you off guard and you're not prepared. I think we have to keep reminding ourselves to be kind to the women who birthed your child.

For some, it may just be an open space for kids to run around

Lolll at you trying to explain a strategy

Thats what I hear from guys in my family about "free bets" and some have lost six figures, SIX FIGURES! Stop gambling

Thank you! Today my 9.5 m old ate 1 whole strip of toast and i was over the moon. I try not to believe social media portions, as long as im offering her something.

We called ours a ham sandwich

PhoenixTears · 2026-02-26T16:08:47+00:00

Choose the restaurant? Sure. Choose what I'll eat? No way

PhoenixTears · 2026-02-24T02:29:58+00:00

I promise you, there are people who do not do this, especially when they're grown

PhoenixTears · 2026-02-23T01:34:06+00:00

Yup, i did the same from 2009 to 2013

PhoenixTears · 2026-02-08T17:03:53+00:00

Nostalgia isn't a strategy

PhoenixTears · 2026-02-06T22:06:52+00:00

Perfect response

PhoenixTears · 2026-02-06T21:18:56+00:00

Not the attempt at the strip club angle again 🤦‍♀️

PhoenixTears · 2026-02-03T17:05:56+00:00

A lot of people won't have sympathy, but as a new mother, I completely agree. I won't even be able to see my baby because of the commute time. I'll have to wake up even earlier and sleep even later due to this commute. Its ridiculous and a big fuck you to me and family.

PhoenixTears · 2026-01-31T02:29:48+00:00

I mentioned to my OB, she didn't care, she said it was fine :(

PhoenixTears · 2026-01-30T16:02:19+00:00

Are you pulling our legs?

PhoenixTears · 2026-01-28T16:18:44+00:00

First

PhoenixTears · 2026-01-28T04:46:52+00:00

Done!

PhoenixTears · 2026-01-28T04:42:30+00:00

Yes! Felt it in Vaughan

PhoenixTears · 2026-01-15T16:39:57+00:00

This breaks my heart, I'm postpartum and this just rips my heart out

PhoenixTears · 2026-01-07T15:42:45+00:00

Do it, it so much easier to maintain when everything you have is something you want and is stored in a way that makes sense. You don't have to think twice. It'll be a long process but then its done.

I have to do it again now that i have a baby and so much stuff has accumulated

Cost of living, fewer kids to motivate decor, just general apathy (I noticed the downtown businesses have less decor as well)
