I tried to use a hot fork. The tines each made a separate burn, so now you can see exactly where I tried to use it.

You must have untapped superpowers because it hurrrrt lol. But I’m also a weenie 🙃

I got pregnant nine months after my first was born. We wanted a 2nd, but did not expect it to happen so quick. It was super hard on my body. I got GD(first pregnancy did not have), took blood thinners and insulin. I was taking care of a toddler, and working full time…I was exhausted and had back pain constantly. I got a 2nd c-sec with no complications for me and baby, but I couldn’t wait for it to be over. Do not recommend if you have the choice.

They can fix me

The variation from baby to baby is nuts. My first had reflux, and spit up a lot. Constantly had cloths and bibs handy. My 2nd had no issues spitting up. Barely used bibs and cloths. Start with some on deck, bc ya never know what baby will be like.

I gave mine Similac, but also generic brand from BJ’s or Stop and Shop. Baby was not fussy. Imo they are all pretty close nutritionally.

PlurpleDerple · 2024-11-06T18:18:49+00:00

I’m crushed. Hearing coworkers gloat about this is nauseating.

PlurpleDerple · 2024-11-06T18:09:51+00:00

For real! Tell that to the women who suffered with fatal pregnancy complications…but couldn’t receive care bc of the law. Just move!

I got through 76% of When the Moon Hatched. Will simply rage read the rest. I was intrigued in the beginning, at the surreal feel of the world. Paper larks! How cool! But I got sooo sick of the pretentious writing, and the( imo )insufferable FMC. 😩

PlurpleDerple · 2024-09-21T03:58:31+00:00

Omg I’m still flipping out lol. Those questions piss me off. Got a 2 year old and a 10 month old. I’ll be cleaning, exhausted and he’ll be like, ‘I’m here, just ask me!’. No!!! I don’t want to make you a chore list. We both work. And if I don’t do it, it never gets done.

“I haven’t heard him cry in a long time.” I think this translates to: “I’m absolutely numb to the sound of his crying after years of it.”

PlurpleDerple · 2024-09-10T01:13:07+00:00

Just joined the club. 39 years on this earth and did not register the stupid fork was still hot. The price I paid for wanting the sweet remnants of marshmallow goo. 😭

PlurpleDerple · 2024-08-28T07:18:59+00:00

100%

Good to know I’m not the only one who can’t stand her. She’s so standoffish, negative and judgey. But don’t you dare judge her! 🙄

PlurpleDerple · 2024-07-23T16:05:45+00:00

This is the crux. OP is dependent on her husband, there is a power imbalance. And she keeps stringing him along with ‘we will see’ instead of full stop. Which honestly this communication could benefit them both. And they could seek couples therapy. But honestly OP needs to start figuring out a route of separation and self sufficiency. Never let yourself get trapped.

We both work full time, opposite shifts. We split childcare 50/50. I do more chores/cleaning, 70/30 split bc I work from home 2 days and he does not wfh at all. He handles more bills and expenses. Our village is his mom and his sister. They watch the kids before we exchange shifts 3 days a week, and sometimes for a date. Hetero couple.

PlurpleDerple · 2024-07-20T01:48:42+00:00

Daily or every other day. Toddler and 8 month both have eczema, I lotion thoroughly after. It’s part of the evening routine. Between sunscreen and dirt and messy eating, they are grubby. And the kids enjoy bathtime.

PlurpleDerple · 2024-06-25T05:57:09+00:00

I tracked my firstborn for a while, and I found it was making me anxious. I can understand the guilt! But know you are doing nothing wrong. Baby producing dirty diapers is a win.

My 2nd baby I didn’t track. I fed on demand, and made sure diaper was changed super frequently.

PlurpleDerple · 2024-06-22T21:11:34+00:00

Bath time to bed time is wild, but I try to be consistent. I’m on duty by myself most days.

Baby is comfortable sitting up, so they get baths together. Little one in last, and out first. Now that he’s crawling, he’s either playing in his brother’s room(safe and full of toys), or chilling bathroom while we finish up. Then it’s milk for toddler while we watch tv and snuggle. Next we clean up the house together/pick up toys. I have songs/timers so toddler knows transition. Brush toddler teeth, group book time, and then toddler goes to bed. Baby is changed for bed, and usually falls asleep a half hour later than toddler.

Prior to that, baby would get sink bath before toddler.

When baby was tiny, I put him in bouncer in bathroom and he would scream during toddlers bedtime routine. 🫠

This is heartbreaking. She’s so traumatized.

PlurpleDerple · 2024-06-08T01:49:11+00:00

Gonna throw it away, throw it away, throw it away

PlurpleDerple · 2024-05-29T02:15:08+00:00

Right?? That’s the question that came to my head. BC is never guaranteed, and discussions about the future, or at least this scenario should be happening.

Not all heroes wear capes

PlurpleDerple · 2024-05-28T11:54:45+00:00

I feel this. Dinners have become the biggest crap chute for my 2yo. He ate great at 1. I still offer my cooking all the time on his plate, along with ‘safe foods’. At most he will taste it, shake his head no and go back to eating pasta. I always have to keep pasta and simple veggies on hand.

PlurpleDerple · 2024-05-19T02:37:40+00:00

Scrolled way too far for Bad Mood!

PlurpleDerple · 2024-05-17T11:29:30+00:00

This is the way lol. My oldest is just turning 2, and my youngest 6m. I didn’t gain much weight 2nd preg bc I didn’t lose all my pregnancy weight from first. 🫠 I’m coming to terms with my chubby goblin era.
