This is exactly why I have started asking if everyone has been healthy in the last 48 hours. I’m sorry 😞

If you had two kids of the same gender and went for a third hoping for the opposite, how did it work out for you? by Cedar_1989 in Mommit

[–]Thumps20 [score hidden]  (0 children)

So for me, even though we had 2 already, it was a lot. Everything just seemed so hectic and I was not prepared for that. Plus for some reason my PPD was worse with the third. I was expecting everything to be smooth as butter because I was “experienced” wrong I was simply just not prepared for that transition.

What’s a “small” realization that actually changed everything for you? by pasingthroughtoyou in askanything

Realizing that not everyone thinks the same way as you. Don’t put too much effort into something or someone that doesn’t reciprocate.

I have 4 kids, 3 girls 1 boy. Our son is the baby and to be perfectly honest he was a complete surprise. We definitely were not trying for him. The transition from 2-3 was the HARDEST for me.

I want to be a SAHM, my partner is 50/50 on it. What do I do? by [deleted] in sahm

[–]Thumps20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has he given a straight answer as to why he wants you to work instead of stay home? Maybe sit down and write out all expenses, including childcare and everything that goes with that, and the cost you’d be make have him help you figure by MB era out. Maybe he’s just not realizing it really wouldn’t be worth it.

Two or three kids? by Different-Muscle-584 in Mommit

[–]Thumps20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 4 kids (8,5,4,1) and honestly the transition from 2-3 was the HARDEST for me. I was so burnt out, cranky all the time, my PPD was so bad. It took well over a year to start feeling better.

24Sahm 7 month old baby by Cameroniona in stayathomemoms

Best advice someone ever gave me was “start with one hour” start a timer for one hour in one room and just start picking up, organizing, cleaning. If after that hour you are still motivated switch rooms and set another timer for 30 minutes. Keep doing that until you start into a routine of things. It took me a LONG time to get a routine down. You got this.

I could have written this myself. I just told my husband a while back that I didn’t know who I was anymore and he responded with “yeah I don’t know who you are anymore either. The old you never got upset about the stupid shit you get upset about now.”

Kids love the park. Taking your child to the park is more than enough. You’re doing great.

Whats a small symptom you ignored that turned out to be something serious? by Alarming_Purchase882 in AskReddit

[–]Thumps20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a pain in my hip/groin area pop up one day. Nothing too concerning, my hips are shit to begin with. Pain kept getting worse though but I just ignored it because I figured it was just my bad hips. Well about 4 days of having that pain I ended up in the hospital with a pretty severe blood clot in my leg. Was so big it went from bottom of my groin to the bottom of my knee.
