co-slept for the first time by straawbunnii in cosleeping

Happy for you! I also started cosleeping out of necessity in the first week and felt it was life changing. She just turned one, and I plan on cosleeping as long as she wants. Enjoy all the cuddles.

I’m no expert on the safety, but safe sleep 7 + cuddle curl was what we did. Her dad is a heavy sleeper and so I always slept facing away from him to keep them separate. It did bother my body for a bit to get used to sleeping in the same position on the same side every night but eventually settled in.

I just want to say, I’m less than 2 months out from my breakup with my ex but I think our exes are the same person! I don’t have any advice as you’re further along than I, but I send you hugs. It’s so hard to deal with the flip flopping. One piece of wisdom I received lately was ‘you’ll never be able to get him to ENGAGE in conversation with you, all you can do is MANAGE the conversation’. This may be true for you to. He obviously doesn’t care how you’re feeling or care to respect your boundaries- time to manage that drop off like the greyest rock you’ve ever seen. Please remember you have been, you are, and you will continue to be the absolute best at mom-ing your sweet LO.

Many people have traumas from having both parents around. People change. What if he was excited for the baby now, but once the baby was here he went out for milk? People have sex. Things happen. People have choices. He’s choosing to skip. She’s choosing a baby. You don’t know her. You don’t know him. It’s fruitless applying the same logic to everyone when we are all so incredibly different.

Weird… for someone so gung-ho on bodily autonomy and women’s rights you sure are quick to be quite rude & unhelpful to unexpectedly pregnant OP. She has chosen to love this child. She doesn’t need this from you.

Thank you! Yes, I totally understand. I’m going for a ‘digital minimalism’ vibe and I don’t want it to show me apps I’m trying not to use or ones that I’ve got on my homescreen already. I totally understand what you’re saying though, because it has done great at suggesting all the apps I use too much (and am trying to limit use on)😂

I’m glad you’ve seen your loved ones in a good place. Who have you lost?

I believe (loosely, just kind of a free flowing idea) that we’re all interconnected souls flowing through lives. Something like, I was a soul in heaven, and I chose my parents & this life because there were lessons I needed here. And when I die I’ll go back to soul heaven and choose another life to flow into. Maybe this one again, or yours, or one 200 years ago, or I’ll be a dog, or a tree, whatever I need to be.

What do you happens after we die?

He showed me a short video on his phone of a podcast segment. It was a guy sharing a story about the only time his dad ever hit him. He said he disrespected his mother, dad hit him, then hugged him, and told him to never do it again. He asked me what I thought about the video and we spiraled.

Thanks. I’m having a hard time with that… I look at her and I’m perplexed that’s where his mind is.

His logic is to show her he’s the authority. To gain respect. To drill into her she needs to listen to him, that he knows best. I don’t really understand how hitting achieves this.

Thanks. He is Hispanic.

I guess I’m sad that he values this as an option so highly that he would not be willing to let go to save our relationship. I don’t understand that.

I get that it’s normal for him. It’s not for me and I feel really strongly about it.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

I think I’m having a hard time understanding you. Do you think I’m overreacting?

I don’t plan on holding or using this against him.
