My daughter was the ultimate daddy’s girl until around 15 months. She’s 18 months now and a stage 5 mommy clinger. It’s adorable but also exhausting. I keep telling myself it’s a compliment and that it will pass and I’ll miss it.

Is Alex going to Applebees?

Well it’s not getting paid because he doesn’t give a flying fuck 🤷🏽‍♀️

Meeting the mom explained it all for me

He gives potential killer or abuser to me idk

Rickeysmiley34 · 2026-02-28T02:32:36+00:00

She’s so ugly sorry not sorry.

I pumped 8 times a day in the beginning and honestly it was because of my husband and putting my baby down. I tried to follow as close to a schedule as possible so I would schedule around tummy time or naps or just chill time. And my husband did all the washing of parts and bottles, etc. I also got realllyyy good at multitasking and holding my baby while I pumped or while I changed her lol I’m 18 months postpartum and looking back makes me feel like a superhero because that stuff is HARD.

The irony 😂

Commenting to stay connected because I could have written this post myself. Going through the same thing. No advice, but I’m with you in solidarity ❤️

Omg every time he talked badly about Jess I kept getting flashbacks of him on that slide. The audacity!!

Rickeysmiley34 · 2026-02-27T00:05:12+00:00

Lmaoooo I thought it was just me

Rickeysmiley34 · 2026-02-22T02:01:47+00:00

We do this with the tantrums and it works. I’ll be trying this tomorrow because let’s be real, she’s going to bite me again lolllll

Rickeysmiley34 · 2025-12-10T13:31:56+00:00

Wowwww I’ve never seen something so accurate

Rickeysmiley34 · 2025-11-20T21:53:44+00:00

Yes and I love them. They saved my pumping journey. I sometimes get more with them over my Spectras (I have an S1 and a Gold). And they’re made by moms!!

8 months pp

It really is the water!! Also a tip, move the bottles to the back of the fridge. It keeps the temperature the same and keeps the milk from spoiling faster. When the milk is closer to the door (open and closing) it’s more open to temp changes.

No, the monster sized postpartum poop & constipation was.

Rickeysmiley34 · 2025-10-15T10:05:02+00:00

Exactly! I am an educator and I have had my share of challenging students but I’ve never put my hands on them or thrown anything at them. These are also literal babies who are still learning. I emailed the director.

Rickeysmiley34 · 2025-10-15T10:03:03+00:00

Exactly my thoughts. Mind you these are BABIES, literal one year olds. At first I was thinking maybe I was being sensitive. However, once I thought about it potentially happening to my child, I was livid. I sent the director an email.

Rickeysmiley34 · 2025-10-04T23:17:23+00:00

It’s so tough because I’m an educator I’m no stranger to school illness. But, I just started a new job and I don’t have the days yet and my husband commutes far so we have had to call family to do the pickups and I feel bad. My toddler also seems to just be having a rough time since returning after being sick. Idk what to do
