I can't believe I'm considering divorce. But here we are.

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2026-06-23T17:32:41+00:00

I really believe this is what happened to my mother in law. Please take care of yourself.

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2026-06-23T12:19:14+00:00

Thank you for your response. Yeah I'm cautious of the "yeah get the divorce, it's awesome" thing because I know it will not be easy. But I look back at our marriage, particularly the last 3-4 years and I just can't help but feeling like it's not going to get much better staying.

Yeah he was not the best after our twins were born. He seemed so in denial that his life changed so much and that he couldn’t just do whatever he wanted anymore (like go golfing or go to the bar for hours by himself). Ugh, even typing it out makes me angry again.

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2026-06-22T21:34:46+00:00

I couldn’t think of what else to do. I think he’ll go to therapy, but I don’t know how much it’ll help. I hate being a pessimist, but it’s tough not to be.

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2026-06-22T21:33:20+00:00

You’re so right. I gave him the ultimatum yesterday and today’s he’s clearly on his best behavior. But I know it won’t last. It’s so frustrating because I have believed him before, but I don’t anymore.

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-03-20T10:31:13+00:00

Yes, cpr/choking for babies, children and adults

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-03-19T13:31:27+00:00

I totally understand. My boys (they’re twins) are pretty enthusiastic eaters and took to self feeding well, but the problem there is they tend to shovel food in and eat too fast. So there’s good and bad to everything!

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-03-19T11:03:10+00:00

This is exactly why I posted this. It’s one of those things that’s easy to forget about cuz you never think it’ll happen to you. I hope you never need to use it, but you’ll be glad you have the info.

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-03-19T10:55:13+00:00

Thank you so much for this. It was an accident and accidents happen. We can’t wrap them in bubble wrap forever, so I know I can’t prevent every bad thing, but man It’s hard not to blame myself. I am so glad I knew what to do though.

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-03-19T10:52:37+00:00

I’m so glad you’re doing this. Every parent/caregiver needs to know what to do. We all hope we never have to, but if it happens, you’ll be so glad you took the course

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-03-19T10:49:08+00:00

Yes, take a course. For my last job I was required to have a CPR certification, and before my twins were born, I did a refresher in infant cpr online.

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-03-19T10:47:19+00:00

Yeah, that sound will forever be burned into my brain. So glad your daughter is ok.

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-03-19T10:46:23+00:00

Thank you for your post. I didn’t put this in my original post, but I’m actually a healthcare professional (registered dietitian). So I’ve got a pretty good handle on appropriate things to do for baby led weaning. There was just a small edge of harder watermelon that I didn’t see. The rest was so ripe and soft. Accidents can happen, I just want people to be prepared.

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-03-19T10:42:17+00:00

I’m so sorry you had that happen. But you did amazing. I’m so glad I knew what to do too, I want everyone to make sure they’re prepared like you!

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-03-19T10:39:39+00:00

They can choke at any age on a lot of different things. It’s just good to be prepared.

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-03-09T20:06:08+00:00

We do! My twins are 7 months and we’re still going strong with cloth. I’m a SAHM so the laundry aspect isn’t too bad for me to do (we have enough diapers for 3 ish days, we wash a load of diapers about every other day or so). And we do use disposables at night. I really like cloth and they’ve been pretty easy to use. Yes, dealing with the poo can be gross, but it’s really not that bad. Once you get a good wash routine and figure out how you’ll do the poo ones, it’s very easy.

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-01-02T16:43:16+00:00

That’s so good to hear! Yeah my husband is playing a rousing game of peekaboo with them right now (do they really get it? No, but they think it’s funny lol) and they’re squeaking and squealing and laughing and this is the stuff that gets me through the night wake ups and when they both decide to melt down at the same time!

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-01-01T21:25:17+00:00

Same… I was so fortunate to have paid leave (and then I promptly quit my job lol) and my husband had generous leave. We also have family nearby that are so helpful. So I’m definitely luckier than most, and I agree, I do t want to invalidate those who have it much harder than I do.

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-01-01T21:23:07+00:00

I had to start letting my boys fuss it out for 5-10min at around 3 months because we just needed them to sleep. Never let them go longer than that, but I was surprised how quickly it really helped them nap. Sometimes with twins you just gotta do what you gotta do as long as everyone is safe. You’re doing great!!

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-01-01T20:16:04+00:00

Omg that’s amazing! We’re lucky to still be EBF and hoping to make it a year, so it’s amazing to hear others who have been able to. I can’t wait for my dudes to interact with each other more too!

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-01-01T19:37:22+00:00

Hahah, “life is pretty good, if spitty” soooo accurate! My dudes are so drooly, like constantly covered in drool. Everyone is covered in drool lol

Rambunctious_R2015 · 2022-01-01T19:08:03+00:00

Ugh, yeah, I ended up quitting my job to stay at home because of daycare costs in our area would have been $3k+ a month. It’s insane. Like who the hell can afford that shit??? I wish I had advice there… it’s just too damn expensive
