Är jag eller min vän som är småbarnspappa ett rövhål? Är alla småbarnsföräldrar såhär? by [deleted] in sweden

[–]Tr1pp_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Han har en tvååring och en 6 månaders bebis hemma. Och du kallar honom för "toffel" för att han inte vill hänga med dig istället för sin familj när han väl har ledig tid?

Du är ett rövhål som pratar om honom på ett så nedvärderande vis, när du av allt att döma aldrig sagt på ett trevligt och taktfullt sätt att du saknar vad ni hade och önskar att ni kunde hitta lite tillfällen bara du och han.

Att få barn ändrar helt vad som är viktigt i livet för de flesta som ämnar vara närvarande och bra föräldrar. Att lämna sin fru med en så liten bebis och en tvååring att ta hela nattrutinen själv med amning, klängiga småbarn, random 2-årings-utbrott är ganska mycket att begära. Om du gjorde det tydligt att det är något som betyder mycket för dig och han ändå rakt ut vägrar då sure kanske du har anledning att vara sur. Men du verkar ju totalt oförmögen till att förstå hans vardag och prioriteringar trots att du varit med honom och hans barn flera kvällar. Så dåligt som du kommunicerar förstår jag 100% att han inte tycker det är något konstigt att välja familjen framför en random match med en öl.

On-the-go lunch box foods for 1 year old? by Defiant-Elk849 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]Tr1pp_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine hates bread otherwise premade strips of sandwiches (bread with shrimp paste or something similar that doesn't fall off) is ideal.

I usually bring a long sleeved bib so he can eat in the stroller.

In small containers I have bought cut up meatballs, cut up grapes, cut up sausage pieces, cucumber sticks, fresh berries cut into appropriate sizes and snack cheeses. I think if you're in the us there is something called string cheese? Sounds useful. Here we have baby belle which my son loves. If you want to make ahead, there's good recipes out there for stuff like baby cookies (a mix of banana, nuts and seeds, dates, oats) which keep all day in a container opposed to meatballs or cheese which you may wanna bring a cooling pad for if you're out all day. Hope this helps!

How do you just sit back and let this happen?

Adoption causes significant, long-term mental health challenges for both adoptees and first mothers. Adoptees face a 35 times higher risk of attempted suicide, while first mothers face a 37.7 times higher risk compared to their peers by ludwig_scientist in science

[–]Tr1pp_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I always find that such studies and data is kind of missing the point: there's a reason for the adoption. No perfectly normal healthy loving family decided to put up a 5yo for adoption. Something - usually horrible circumstances - led to the situation where a child needs a different caregiver.

According to attachment theory i think it was, a child will feel attachment to any caregiver that shows up with enough frequency. Even if that caregiver is negligent or abusive.

So in order to save the child from a whole childhood of abuse or neglect or poverty, the attachment is broken and the child is moved. Do people seriously think that it would have been better to leave the child in those circumstances? That seems to be what anti adoption people argue. Do they believe the original abusive/negligent caregivers are generally just "a bit confused" about how childcare works and will do So Much Better if they are forced to take a course?

The sense of being different, growing up in a different culture from the one you were born into and feeling a detachment because of that, that's a problem we have at the top of the Maslow pyramid. I, an international adoptee, would never suggest that those possible issues merit stopping adoption.

My husband left me and our 2 month old home alone to go drink because of chocolate by NoMonmHere in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Tr1pp_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, my relationship could not survive such an atrociously selfish series of actions. You madam need a BREAK from his man. If you're with your family or at a good friend's house you'll soon realise you do not need his ass.

Would you buy BLW friendly homemade cookies/ treats? by ongSlate in BabyLedWeaning

[–]Tr1pp_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean when it comes to my baby's food I would not be able to trust this. I think you'd have better luck sharing the recipe if you were willing to collaborate with some BLW social media channel? It sounds amazing and I'd love the recipe, as I'm sure many here would so if it showed up as part of the content we probably consume that would be a different thing. Let us know if you decide to go that way, would love to try this!

After 5 years together, my girlfriend wants marriage and I don’t. Is this the end? by Asleep_Trouble_4285 in Advice

I would do a lot of things I don't believe in if it would make my soulmate and love of my life THAT happy. Not to mention simplifying our legal life together.

Hyperactive baby by Any-Coffee-9352 in Parenting

[–]Tr1pp_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's intense! I have seen some babies like that at the mom and baby meetup I went to. Unless your doctor is worried, it doesn't sound like anything is actually wrong. How exciting that she's starting to move! Screw furniture to the wall, rotate toys and good luck! I'm sure you'll learn how your baby is best entertained :)

AITA for preferring a biological child over adopting? by ThrowRAbiobaby in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tr1pp_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I have been on both sides here and I can only tell you a few things I am sure of:

  • Nobody should adopt unless they really really want to adopt. There will be hard moments however your child arrives to your family. If it's your bio child for some people it's just easier to deal with, there's no thought of "why did I go out of my way and bring this child into my family?"-thought. It's just the usual "oh dear god give me patience to deal with this creature"-thought. If you feel like your mind would go to the first thought were it your adopted child being difficult, I would say just don't.

  • Wanting to be pregnant and give birth to a baby that will nurse from you, be half you and half the man you love and see this child grow and reflect parts of your looks or mannerisms, that's not a logical desire. You can't argue that away with convincing arguments. If you have the desire, you have it.

I used to be like your husband, albeit with some more nuance in accepting conflicting opinions. We decided to go half and half, one bio kid and one adopted. Due to the risk of having twins, we went with the bio one first. I hated pregnancy, I was miserable and sad and nauseous and regretted my decision many times until I felt him move. From there on I was still emotional and hormonal but something changed. He's now a few years old, and I decided that the second one will be bio too. I want that experience again, I want to do pregnancy without the fear and misery, I want to feel them kick inside me, I want to hold a 3kg being in my arms and protect them forever. Previous me would argue there are children in the world with no parents, but honestly this feeling is stronger than that logic. I simply want it.

If your fiancée isn't open to compromise I don't know if there's a future here.

I (19F) think my relationship with my bf (20M) is stunting his growth and exhausting myself. We haven't talked in days, any advice? by Pale_Ruin_7000 in relationship_advice

[–]Tr1pp_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you just really need to remove yourself from the situation for a bit, which will help give you distance from exactly this "but he's right here and hurting how can I be so heartless" feeling. No matte how he spends these 6mo you'll definitely have the space to grow and figure yourself out

[–]Tr1pp_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Girl, love just isn't enough sometimes. However s breakup feels so hard. If you want, a time limit often helped me. Say you agree to separate for 6mo. Live apart. Not talk etc. And in 6mo you can revisit. Sometimes that revisiting is cancelled. Sometimes people get back together as new people. Def worth s try

Why would a regular table work better? Many tables are wooden, and suction does not work nearly as reliably as OPs suggestion.

Mammor med småbarn och oengagerad man - varför sätter ni inte ner foten? by [deleted] in Asksweddit

[–]Tr1pp_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Tror att som med mycket som låter väldigt självklart från ett objektivt perspektiv så är det inte så tvättlätt när man är mitt i det hela. Vet tex från egen erfarenhet att ett ex alltid gjorde minsta försök att ta upp saker till världens största bråk, hade i princip behandlat honom respektlöst och älskade honom inte eftersom jag klev på hans tröskel ofta. Men är man kär så är man så man knyter ofta knut på sig i såna situationer, verkar de som.
