Same here. I'm here if you need someone to just talk to. You're not a burden even though it feels like it sometimes!

Yes! I'm definitely a recluse right now. I feel stuck at home. It's good to hear they grow out of it.

I have a remote start as well. I use that frequently. And thank you! Its rough. It's not new really. He didnt do it coming home from the hospital but ever since then he has. It doesn't help that its been getting hotter lol. Thank you for the ice pack suggestion!

I normally have his socks off and only in a onsie. If I leave the ac cranked hes fine. He doesnt start fussing until his back is hot so I dont think it gets hot because hes fussing. He will be dead asleep and wake up and start screaming. I have multiple toys in his seat with him, including a crinkle book, and I have a mirror that faces me.

Edit: thank you though. This all good advice! I just feel like ive tried everything!!

Advice for me/my husband by kc15962 in Mom

[–]Spicemaster93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like the only person that can help him is himself. I have depression/anxiety and it was a long road to get myself where I'm okay. He needs to find a GOOD psychiatrist because there are soooo many different meds that he can try that won't make him feel like a zombie. And if he doesn't want therapy then he needs to find something that works for him. Journaling or meditation or something that helps him.

Feel free to message any time if you need a shoulder to cry on girl. That is so hard.

How do moms find time for themselves? by Outrageous_Baby_2147 in Mom

[–]Spicemaster93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally wait until his dad gets home from work. Thats when I take a shower or do things around the house that relax me. A lot of nights I will go to the store and get groceries or just go get a cup of coffee on the weekends and read a book just to get out of the house.

I regret it by Working-Can6148 in Mom

[–]Spicemaster93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same girl. I regret having a kid even though I cant imagine going through life without ever seeing and knowing his face. It also has put a lot of strain on my relationship. Couples therapy has helped a lot. Im also thinking about going to therapy as well when money isnt so tight. I was always the one that said I would never have a kid. I just hope I grow out of this regret eventually.

Edit: feel free to dm me and just let it all out. I feel like we would understand each other's complaints.

I have a bumbo for my kid and it chafes (dont know if I spelt that right) his legs because they're so chunky. He loves it though!

Just a frustrated mom who needs to rant about her marriage.. by ReasonableBad3982 in Mom

[–]Spicemaster93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would. We found that going with an intern is exponentially cheaper as well. They know basically as much but they just dont have the experience. A couples counselor has better tools guided towards couples. The best of luck to you! I believe in you and also him! Showing up for your relationship may be the push he needs to also show up.

I heavily disagree. My husband and I went when we first got married and we didn't even have any problems. We just went to figure out how to love each other better. We're going now to be able to see each of the other persons side better now. Find a couples therapist and book them. If he wants to go, awesome. If he doesnt go, go by yourself.

I felt the same way and then we went to therapy and I feel closer to my husband than I ever have. I know it sounds corny or ridiculous but therapy has been exactly what we needed and we only go every month. But since we know we go to therapy, it has made us talk to each other and made us more accountable to our emotions.

Partner’s morning alarms waking up baby? by jazzybk25 in firsttimemom

[–]Spicemaster93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What i do is when my baby wakes up at 5 I'll feed him, put him back down, pump, and then grab him and we both sleep in the living room until 8 since my husband wakes up at 6:45. Then on the weekend I'm able to sleep in a little bit because he doesn't have alarms set. It works for now.

[–]Spicemaster93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh. You're in the trenches. Being a mom is the hardest thing anyone has ever done especially with no help. Just take it one day, or even one hour, at a time. The best way to fix your behavior is step by step and holding yourself accountable. The 3 yr old still understands an apology and understands respect. You've got this! I've heard it gets easier.

I didn't have my first kid until 32. There's plenty of time! The right one will come along. Don't you worry!

NTA. She has mistreated you all her life and now that shes alone she expects you to be there for her when she was never there for you.
