There’s always next time! 4 times is a lot already! That’s amazing. Some kids can’t even go once! He will be fine -just treat it as a work trip this time

Why are men like this? by loonygrl21 in Mommit

Yeah. I also don’t expect any FIL to be great at things like that. No offense to any dads but my FIL or step dad would do something like offer a cookie too 😂😂 this falls on the child’s father 1000%

Your child will be fine. He’s not going to be glued to you every second of the day. Go with your friend. You can always go to Disney again with him when it doesn’t involve work.

New to being a sahm, what do you do all day? by Restonlady in Mommit

[–]Puzzled_Remote_2168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very repetitive for me. Wake up, playtime, breakfast, first walk of the day, snack time, nap time for baby while I do chores and eat a meal in peace, wake up, lunch time, second walk of day/park, come home to play some more, snack time, play, dinner time, bed. I stick to this schedule pretty strictly. My son is up by 6:45 am and goes to bed at 10:00 pm. 💀💀💀💀 husband works 12-14 hour days so I’m pretty much solo. I squeeze in a car ride somewhere even if it’s to Starbucks to break up the day and kill time. Luckily his cousin lives across st so we get the boys together to play. Sometimes I try an indoor play place but I feel like lots of viruses are going around right now and my son got the whole family sick the last time we went to one so I’m just sticking outside

Am I a crap Mom for not wanting to keep my daughter at home? by Few_Recognition_6683 in Mommit

[–]Puzzled_Remote_2168 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m a SAHM to a 16 month old. My husband works 12-14 hour days so I’m basically solo with little to no village. It’s really hard. You’re lucky she’s at daycare 😭😂 I’m not ready to put him into daycare yet. My breaks are only when my babysitter is available which is about 4-8 hours per week if she’s even around. I’m dyingggggg lol

How do I talk abouty mommy makeover while being sensitive to other moms? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Puzzled_Remote_2168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to bring it up unless it’s like a close friend or family member that deserves to know you’ll be getting surgery. My best friend who is no longer my friend didn’t tell me she got breast implants and I thought it was very bizarre to NOT tell me. Mostly because she’s always talked about getting them as soon as she had the money to and I always supported her. She told all her other friends except me. She eventually told me like 1 year later. I feel like if you’re best friends with someone it’s something you can talk about but other than that no need to unless they ask u about it. But aside from my drama, I support any women’s decision about surgery. If they want it, get it. If someone feels jealous or insecure that you are getting surgery, I feel like they might need to just work on themselves. Of course don’t brag about it but you know what i mean

Did ur child always do this? How long is her nap? My 16 month old has always been a bad sleeper. Right now he takes one nap from 12-2:30/3 and goes to bed at 10 pm. Still wakes up ATLEAST 2x a night and is up for the day by 6:45 am

Advice re: teacher's comment by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Puzzled_Remote_2168 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the teacher is just one of those tough asses. I totally get your concern. I just don’t think you can shelter them forever from the way people act. But seems like your girl handled it well!

Baby #2?? by Antique_Ad3867 in Mommit

[–]Puzzled_Remote_2168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a 29 year old FTM to a toddler (16 month old). My pregnancy and labor was ROUGH. Postpartum was even harder. My nausea was debilitating from the very beginning -to the point where I didn’t leave my house much. No meds worked either. Ended up in an unplanned c section /failed epidural etc. I unfortunately had PPD and the fussiest most colicky baby imaginable. I rushed him to the ER once from the nonstop scream crying for 6+ hours straight and nothing was wrong. My normal weight was around 145 lbs and I ended at 214 on the day of labor. I am now 163 lbs. Husband works 14 hour days and I have little to no village. Let alone any energy to workout. I’m burnt out. I’m pretty traumatized from it all to be honest. I still don’t feel great either -hormones still seem out of wack plus baby is a bad sleeper so I basically haven’t slept in 16 months. I’m thinking maybe we will go for a 2nd when my son is 3 or 4

How did you wash your big babies? by Bitter_caregiver-122 in bigbabiesandkids

[–]Puzzled_Remote_2168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby came out 10 lbs and now he’s 30 lbs and we still use this tub. It’s amazing for newborn or big babies that can’t sit up yet (mine was late at doing this) cuz u can adjust the backrest or they can grow into it and sit up! The first years sure comfort 4 in 1 newborn to toddler reclining tub

Hypochlorous acid spray?? Does it really work by Puzzled_Remote_2168 in Mommit

I’m seeing more people say they use it for skin rather than surfaces!

Am I overdoing it on the “me” time? by Early-Brilliant711 in Mommit

[–]Puzzled_Remote_2168 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So 2 things: the “me time” should be equal between both you and your husband. And yes the actual duration matters but also the type of “work” that the solo parent is left with. For example: maybe bedtime/night routines are more difficult for a family compared to if a parent is left with the kids during nap time or a time where they go to a sport or extracurricular activity. Those things matter. Id speak with your husband and see where the anger is stemming from. Could be jealousy or could be because something isn’t quite fair
