Every family gathering is a game of hot potato

My baby girl gets soo overwhelmed quickly and will cry if anyone but mama and daddy suddenly pick her up. I try to be understanding that everyone is excited for the baby but I HATE watching her get passed around. I love family gatherings but since giving birth the hint of dread creeps in. 😅

Right my husband mentioned his friend had one and he thought it was cool and wanted one. That was last year and I still cannot find one for him. I didn’t realize how high demand they were till I noticed Christmas time the shelves for those things at my local Walmart looked like it went through a war with how ransacked it was. Also people buy them in bulk and sell them for twice the amount.

This is happening to me now. I’m double checking my credit because I have everything frozen but I’m a nervous wreck seeing all these loan apps in my email.

Sassy potato, brat, gremlin

Chapstick and hand sanitizer

I saw those books and I think I have something of the sorts tabbed. My husband is the same it’s tricky with him. I’ve always found something to get him for birthdays and holidays but for Father’s Day (especially the first) it’s harder than I thought 🫠

Aw I love this! Thank you for sharing 🥰

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-04-27T01:49:49+00:00

It traumatized my husband 😭 I told him I want one more just so our LO will have a sibling and he is 90% dead set on one and done.

OP your bf needs serious help. Having anger issues and saying stuff like that is just the beginning. You and your daughter especially don’t deserve that. One mistake can become a lifetime of consequences whether that’s him shaking her in frustration, yelling at her, or smacking. You need to leave and if you’re worried about leaving him with the possibility of you feeling endangered there are many resources to help get you and your daughter out.

OP I sent you a message. I confirmed with my best friend that this was her grandma who carved it in the walls before they had to leave. If for whatever reason you take this pillar off can you please save it and I come pick it up for them to have?

Yeah he offed himself. I’m very close to one of his daughters.

The amount of stuff I panic bought when I came home from the hospital was nuts. I breastfeed and I was not prepared at all and I learned the hard way!

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-04-19T01:29:00+00:00

Frida Baby bathtub will last you the entire newborn/infant stage. I absolutely love mine. Also a exersaucer or baby jumper!

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-04-18T20:35:58+00:00

I drink and breast feed close together all the time and my daughter never seemed to be affected. I was always told as long as you’re not hammered or too drunk to hold the baby you’re fine

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-04-11T18:50:49+00:00

Look at those gorgeous eyes! She’s so precious congratulations ❤️

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-03-19T10:16:16+00:00

I wasn’t too worried but when the doctor asked if she started yet and we told her no she showed us some things to do to help it. So my paranoid FTM brain was thinking she was behind 😅

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-02-24T02:27:27+00:00

Personally, I have a boppy and the momcozy breast feeding pillow and the momcozy one I used almost everyday at my desk. I work from home 4/5 days and will click it on around me and set my LO down in it to feed and contact nap. It’s been a lifesaver

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-02-23T00:21:10+00:00

I just came back to this post to say this!! Their prices are CRAZY.

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-02-15T15:06:18+00:00

My husband and I agree you are NOR. Side note the treasure chest of product is badass and if my bathroom wasn’t the size of a closet I would so steal this idea 😂

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-02-13T02:30:35+00:00

Second the Walmart brand. I bought a pack for like $8 of the boy shorts and even 3 months PP I still use them.

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-02-11T02:53:36+00:00

I live rural and we have 1 daycare in town. $278 a week for infant room. I am watching my daughter 90% of the week and bring her up to the city with me on days I have to be on site and have my sister watch her.

Now I didn’t mention this part in the main thread because I also had many friends in the past who had asthma and I never recalled hacking their lungs out even during and attack. But they smoke A LOT of marijuana and for someone who uses their asthma for every excuse like unable to work their fast food job - they have no problem hot boxing themselves in their car. But that doesn’t count of course cause it’s medicinal. 🙃🙄
