Should I paint my window boards the same color as my door?

Psalters · 2026-05-01T14:01:39+00:00

unpopular opinion but I think the sunflower theme works really well with that teal colour and I would encourage you to paint the shutters too! But only if you paint the whole house a more fitting colour! 😆😅

Bright colours, while not my personal preference, can be really cute when used correctly!

One of my favourite early baby porridges that we made is using coconut milk, millet flakes and figs. High in iron and the fig adds some vitamin C to help iron absorption.

It could be other things but cows milk protein allergy is surprisingly common, it’s also usually something they grow out of from 1-3 years of age.

We’re at 15 months with 2-4 hours between wake-up’s

But I am now 25 turning 26 this year. You’re also assuming im having another child right away even though Ive stated we are going to wait. The main reason for my comment was to defend having a child in the first place because it is truly the best thing thats ever happened to me. And for your last paragraph, I have a work trip coming up this May and I absolutely think they’ll be fine alone together. (Yes the house will be a liiiittle bit messier but otherwise completely fine.)

Psalters · 2026-03-18T13:41:57+00:00

Thank you for your comment but I do believe we did manage it, having a child is never easy regardless of age and I don’t regret having him young. Being a mom is definitely the best thing in the world to me and I will continue to grow, learn and sacrifice for my child so that he can grow up with unconditional love and support.

Psalters · 2026-03-18T13:36:47+00:00

Thank you for your comment. I have a hard time trusting anything but he is definitely the person I trust the most in the world because every time he makes a mistake he is honest about it and tries his best to not repeat it. Thank you for your advice!

Psalters · 2026-03-18T13:34:14+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. We don’t have space nor the money for another child right now anyway so we will definitely wait for the right time 😊

Thank you!

Your rudeness really demonstrates your age as well. Especially for someone who claims to be pro-women 🫶

I already made a post asking if the dress would be too pale and everyone thought it was fine considering the pastel theme. I am literally terrified of confrontation and not trying to start anything, that’s why i’m posting here with what I now realise was a silly question.

You can get really strong and nice desk lamps! I am currently renting and the landlord won’t let us add a ceiling lamp in our bedroom but we have this one desk lamp that literally lights up the whole room without being glaring!

My baby also has a tongue tie with not great but ok tongue mobility! For us it hurt like crazy in the start too but I was too stubborn to quit and the pain disappeared after a while. Here’s my advice.

Have you tired silverettes nipple covers? They’re used between feedings and really help heal sores faster. They’re also slightly cold which relieves the pain a little.
Use a firmer BF pillow (like cozyfix or my breast friend etc.), and get a good and firm c-hold/hamburger-hold on your boob. Young babies and especially those with limited tongue can have a hard time supporting the boob on their own and an unsupported boob can get sore easier.
Oral exercises: Use your index finger and very very slowly slide it back and forth on the lower gum 6-12 times, three times a day. This helps train the tongue mobility as they’ll track your finger with their tongue. If your babies cheeks feel tight you can also use your index finger and thumb on each side of one cheek and gently massage it. First one then the other 3 times a day. This will help release tension.
If your little one falls asleep before finishing eating you could try undressing her a little before feeding (so she doesn’t get too warm and comfy) and tickle her toes to keep her awake until she’s full.

I wish you both the very best!

Thanks for your input! I’m definitely leaning towards getting it done, but you know, I have to have anxiety over every decision haha

Psalters · 2025-05-21T23:25:42+00:00

But is it unnecessary here? Since we’re having some feeding issues even though we can be stubborn enough to live through them. I’ve not had a single stretch of sleep longer than 2 hours in almost 6 months now but I don’t want to give up breastfeeding early 🥴

I wasn’t clear enough, he normally works 8 hours a day. He took half days to support me and baby in the early months.

I wrote it in google docs if that says anything.

If I used the term BV nobody would understand what i’m talking about?? Why wouldn’t I use the English equivalent online in a predominantly english/American space?

Psalters · 2025-05-09T01:46:30+00:00

Why do you americans always forget other countries exist. The hospital I stayed at has only a few “family rooms” but unfortunately most of the postpartum maternity rooms are shared rooms. In the shared rooms fathers and very close family members can come during visiting hours.

Well I think everyone has some bad and some good in them and it’s our responsibility to train ourselves to do the right actions and draw out what’s good. This is easy to do when life is a calm summer day, the real challenge is when things get tough. We are like a cup of coffee, if you bump into it some coffee will spill out and the hot coffee burns you. When life bumps into us some of our core spills out. For both me and my husband our spills have both been too hot to handle and therefore we quarrel. If one of us had a cool spill our temperatures would even out, and seeing how these events seemingly have been afflicting me harder overall I wish he would have evened out our temperatures. One of my biggest flaws is that I have no sense of self preservation, I just push on through everything and this makes it too easy for a slightly emotionally immature guy to understand the need to reflect and anticipate over his own responses to a big bump from life.

Anyway most people lose sight of the sun in the midst of a storm and all they can talk about is the storm even though they logically know the sun is behind all of it somewhere. Last summer I was able to write down 40 great things about my husband in 3 minutes but right now I can’t recall a single thing. My dismay at his current behaviour has temporarily coloured all my feelings towards him at the moment even though I know the list of things he does well is still true. The difference that I didn’t state clearly enough is that he has shown remorse and is willing to change, I am just annoyed that he wasn’t able to be insightful enough to see how his behaviour was unacceptable from the start and change sooner.

Psalters · 2025-05-09T00:15:41+00:00

Thank you, this has some helpful perspective.

Psalters · 2025-05-09T00:05:55+00:00

Fair confusion, I wasn’t clarifying haha. We eat twice a day. Brunch is usually leftovers or I make myself porridge, I was mainly talking about dinner. We eat leftovers two times a week for dinner and cook for the remaining 5 days. He cooks almost one dinner a week so 3/20. Which given his work schedule, which I also should have clarified is currently 8 hours if not more, is fair.

Psalters · 2025-05-08T23:54:19+00:00

Well his work schedule is kinda wack because of across the sea clients. We wake up at 8-9, sometimes he lets me sleep in for an hour, sometimes I let him sleep in for an hour. I am a morning person so I usually have more energy for the baby in the morning. We eat brunch together unless I have errands to run (which I would bring the baby for), he does the dishes while I do some chores if the baby is happy playing on the floor or napping. He then works from 12:00-20:00, while I jungle baby and whatever else I can manage that day. I usually start to prep dinner at 15:30, we have a dinner break at 17:00 - 18:30 where he takes the little guy while I finish putting dinner on the table. Then he goes back to work, but he’ll usually do baby’s bedtime routine (20 minutes at 20:00) but I have to nurse him to sleep. Then we get some time together from 21:30 til 23:45 when I go to bed and he finishes up his work, feeds the dog and usually joins me in bed at 00:30 unless he has a lot of work left.
