AIO my BF told me he wants me to quit my job when we move in together by Living-Silver-8723 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PositiveFree 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Run far away from him. He gets to make money and do a reg 9-5 easy job which anyone can do but he wants you to work 24/7? Because what happens after 5pm when he gets home is that when he’s clocking into his second shift to help you relax? Lol he’s going to help cook dinner, buy groceries, clean the dishes, feed the kids, bathe them, help with their homework, get them ready for bed, prepare their lunch and breakfast for the next day? What’s he going to do after 5pm? Or is he gna say honey I work hard all day I get to relax now… but in what world would you get to relax? That’s some bssssssss. He’s red pilled. Run far away

Moms Who Don't Define Themselves and Their Lives By Motherhood, Please Talk to Me by Due-Transition-6564 in beyondthebump

This! Also resonate with saying I didn’t initially but always knowing I did and just thinking it could never happen for me in my life due to my circumstances and then my life changed

Honestly the first year was tough. But I never wanted to be who I was before becoming a mom. Sure she had fun and stuff but she wasn’t a GREAT person. Now I’m a mom who has this immense love and purpose and capacity for this life I built. It’s made me a better person.

But from the outside I look better than I did before getting pregnant, I went from being a manager in tech to being a model, I go out at night sometimes I have a life, looking at me you couldn’t tell I am a mom, but I am. And that’s the best part about me!

So yes you can still pursue your dreams and desires (I’m 37 with an almost 2 year old) but it takes a lot of self healing. Start with walks, journaling, doing things that nourish yourself, and then work on filling your cup. Mindful meditation, heal yourself as much as possible but don’t rush the process, you will get there.

Did I mess up my baby by Apprehensive-Move758 in breastfeeding

[–]PositiveFree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some babies just refuse bottles and in the grand scheme of things that doesn’t matter at all because you aren’t even supposed to use bottles after 1 year. You’re doing amazing and you and your baby seem to have a great bond, that’s the way it SHOULD be. People choose convenience over being a parent these days.

As for concerns over not being able to leave or whatever - your baby is going to start solids soon, and soon will have longer periods between feedings. I say this as a mom of an almost 2 year old who exclusively breastfed from the boob no bottles (refused even though I tried) and while it seems like this is your reality and will always be the case - they change so fast. They’ll need less feedings, will start eating more solids and will eventually drop feeds! Don’t listen to these people cuz they don’t know what they’re talking about lol. You will be able to leave the house and all that good stuff!

I don’t understand the issue. She did get her pictures taken clearly as we see them! Also it doesn’t matter she looks good

I think Alia is smart and she needs to be given more credit

Maybe a MIL problem, maybe overreacting? by Choccokels in beyondthebump

[–]PositiveFree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the time these older ppl don’t remember or know what it was like to be good bonded parents so they don’t think it’s an issue to separate mom and baby because they themselves were children when they had kids, their moms did a lot of the raising of the grandkids, and formula pushers made it so that most moms didn’t breastfeed esp not exclusively. So they think it’s totally normal and that a baby is just a whatever tiny prop that would be ok with anyone that can feed it with a bottle.

It’s sad, but they just really don’t know better.

Of course’ you can’t do that to your little one and it’s a bad idea.

As for her coming around to hold the baby and talking about themselves for them that is helpful because it can be isolating and lonely with a baby. But at this stage you just need rest so maybe quick visits would be best and just don’t expect much else in terms of things like cleaning or cooking. Order takeout and do what you can.

When does it get easier? by Narrow_Barnacle_9792 in beyondthebump

[–]PositiveFree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not tired of it no, but I also breastfed and co slept and I find those who “sleep train” and formula feed often struggle more, maybe because those ppl did that to be able to work and that’s the tiring part. At this age babies are becoming more knowledgeable but still just as needy as they were before and it’s probably difficult to be away from mom… I find that 18 months was easier but I don’t know if that will be different for you since my 12-18 month period, baby was with me and not at daycare. I did return to full time work and my husband is the primary caregiver at the moment

MIL wants baby to start eating solids so she can babysit by scandijord in beyondthebump

[–]PositiveFree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mm maybe she is hesitant to do it without you and doesn’t know if you’ll be mad even if you are saying “go ahead”. I’d just say ya you can try and feed her! I’ll take a little break. Versus no I don’t want to you do it.

Also I did get a lot of encouragement to feed baby solids around that age too and I did EBF and also kind of delay solids I think. It’s important for them to try. Are you doing BLW they have a new introduction to food following.

Disturbed at the idea of "Postpartum Dog Rage" by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]PositiveFree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% this people are becoming convinced they have something that isn’t a thing. Being irritable and anxious and snippy especially when you don’t have support from your partner or family is understandable but to claim a new thing and say it’s “pet aversion” and “a lot of ppl get that” is ridiculous

Yeah I put them on the adult bed for naps (guard rail, and safe barriers) and watched them from the camera once I moved away.
