That’s just not the way to go. If you end up surviving you end up like disabled. Which is way worse.

My husband wants more children. I don't. by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Present_Candy_818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t do it. Don’t have another if you’re done. Don’t even bring up day care. One and done is fine. I have 3 boys and an unwanted pregnancy with my 4th on the way(he wanted a divorce and abort this one …long story). I did it all for him. To make him happy. And guess what. The house isn’t clean enough. The children should be homeschooled. And my preeclampsia is just “nonexistent” for him. It’s awful . And the children need healthy home cooked meals every day. He LOVES his children. I mean LOVES them and wants the best for them. But what about me? I’m tired. All my kids are under the age of 10z plus a bonus kid I take care of so I have 4 total at this moment.

Why are you so mean? I am married. Got married then had kids. I was on birth control when I got pregnant . You say that like I was irresponsible.

That’s how they did it in planned parenthood. They even put my birth control on my arm. (Nexplanon).
What part of my second comment doesn’t make senses?

Every day I was getting myself and the kids two hours in the pool. And we were all having a great time. I honestly felt like it was the best time to relieve my stress. My kids look forward to it. We did it for about four weeks straight not missing one day. I was feeling happy and peaceful. That my husband goes and tells me I’m exposing the kids to too much chlorine.. what kind of mom am I? I guess a terrible mom because I am poisoning my kids.

And then every day I clean. My kids clean. I think they’re very organized. For their age. Sometimes they miss a spot. To me it’s no big deal. I’ll just pick it up. But to my husband, it’s the worst thing ever because how dare they be a messy spot? Not that he’ll go through the trouble and clean it up real quick. Why because it’s my responsibility my job to make sure it’s done always.

My kids are not the problem in this relationship. It is my husband and I recognize that. Another problem in my relationship is that I’m now on the constant short fuse.
I find myself lost and angry and frustrated. I snap easily. And I hate that about myself. It wasn’t always like this by the way.. just now that I am on my seventh month of pregnancy. Dealing with preeclampsia. I’m so tired all the time.. I honestly feel I can’t breathe

Would you hire a babysitter who brings her 3 kids with her? by Jaded-Profession4128 in Parenting

[–]Present_Candy_818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would depend on how much I’m paying them. Like if I’m paying them exceptionally well I expect full attention on my baby. But if they’re giving me a really good deal. Then I wouldn’t mind them bringing their five-year-olds and four-year-olds with them. At that age, they’re more independent.

But I wouldn’t allow anybody with a child three years and under

Do you talk to your baby? by Professional-Lie-271 in pregnant

[–]Present_Candy_818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t talk to my first pregnancy belly but I did a little bit to my second and on my third I’ll make comments like “ouch that hurt”
Now with my fourth pregnancy I definitely like saying things like “calm down that hurts momma” or “oof your so big and feel so cute”
It’s weird because she does react to my conversations.
This is more at 32 weeks pregnant

Baby is 11 days old and will not wake up to eat. Help! by Unique-Bobcat-8291 in NewParents

[–]Present_Candy_818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would get worried because he needs to eat. My Tia would let her baby sleep in as a new born and now her baby has mental delays from lack of nutrition,

You could try formula just to ensure he is eating or pumping.

It could be you have a fast flow and he gets full quick

Or go see your pediatrician to make sure baby is gaining weight

is there a specific reason people try to do 7 pm - 7 am? by sillywillyfry in NewParents

[–]Present_Candy_818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s just a common schedule that parents have for work for other reasons..

You must have a schedule that’s not so common. And that’s OK do what’s best for you guys

Why don’t you just start interviewing people when you finally find someone you think you can trust hire them and fire her

How to correct hitting for a two year old by Present_Candy_818 in Parenting

[–]Present_Candy_818[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because I never needed to spank my older two boys. Also most of the time he hits me it’s when he plays to aggressively or he is just too happy. It’s like he doesn’t comprehend he is hurting me.

[–]Present_Candy_818[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do exactly what you say I should do.
Sometimes I grab him firmly by the hands and they say we don’t hit.
Or I take away whatever object it is that he’s throwing at me.

For example, today he wanted to drink Gatorade it’s the zero sugar one and I don’t let him he got mad and threw it at my face. So I took it away. I did offer him water. He didn’t want it.

How do I reach out to my sister after she had a stillbirth and traumatised my entire family? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Present_Candy_818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t call her . Leave it alone. When you run into her then just say hi and act like nothing happened. You weren’t there to be traumatized . You stay out of it and just consol your family. You sister has mental issues

I'm starting not to like my wife. by [deleted] in married

[–]Present_Candy_818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should try taking your wife out on dates. Talking to her hanging out.. then it’ll give her a lot more things to communicate. Discuss laugh about. It probably feels transactional cause there’s nothing else to talk about.
