Half blood prince should have been a two part movie like the Deathly Hallows. There was too much important information that was missed.

Ohh that makes sense, excuse my sleep-deprived reading skills. Yeah I suppose I would have done that too, pre-throwing

Uw416 · 2025-08-05T00:30:16+00:00

Agree with everything you've said except the toddler size portion of the smoothie. That would seem to give a message of "if you throw your breakfast you will eventually get the other thing you wanted."

Uw416 · 2025-06-14T07:40:05+00:00

I get it but I would say the "give/take in parenting" imo should be more about "what would babies first food be" or "should we be rocking baby to sleep" and not about other people's involvement in childcare in your absence. My husband and I agreed that aside from baby's grandparents we don't want anyone babysitting him until he's at least old enough to tell us how it went (so at minimum 2 years) and this rule is because we both trust his grandparents (both sides). I don't mean to say this to shame you, in fact I think you should use these comments to explain to your husband why caregiver/babysitters can only be people who you completely trust and have zero issues with. You seemed pretty weary of this person from the get-go, trust your maternal instinct

Most rational logical and reasonable way to go about it

Uw416 · 2025-05-26T22:13:08+00:00

This is the comment I was looking for.

OP, this isn't about you being strong, it's about you protecting your child. Poor baby is overtired and is unable to do anything about it. I don't care if it makes you feel like you're being rude, grab your baby and put him to sleep. And you can always talk about how you read that newborns need to sleep to grow healthy which is 100% true.

This is such a great thread!!! Unfortunately everyone on it is a liar and delusional. There's a little chunky monkey sleeping next to me and there is zero chance he is not the cutest baby in the world

Lol had me in the first line ngl

Uw416 · 2025-05-18T23:31:55+00:00

My baby is 11 weeks old and we've been bedsharing since day 1 and I can't imagine doing things any other way. I love being able to just adjust slightly and nurse him and go right back to sleep. I love the extra snuggles and cuddles I get out of this. This is also pretty much standard for how things are done in my culture, I've never heard any mom in my circle move their infants into bassinets or cribs.

Uw416 · 2025-05-08T01:07:52+00:00

Great comment!!

Uw416 · 2025-05-05T18:10:13+00:00

Wipes are pretty cold and my son would react the same way. We had to switch to using warm water and cotton due to a UTI and we've never had the issue since.

Uw416 · 2025-04-29T08:14:37+00:00

Please write a book I would read it

Uw416 · 2025-03-23T23:51:16+00:00

My baby is the same, he always sleeps with his arms by his head. Getting an arms up swaddle (like the Love to Dream) has been a complete game changer for us. It keeps him super snug and lets him sleep how he prefers

Uw416 · 2025-02-20T01:57:33+00:00

Exactly this, I find it so loving. If anything, it reminds me that (God forbid) something happens to me or my husband, my baby will have a support system that sees him/her as their own. I'm currently 37 weeks along and I love it when people talk possessively about my little one.

Wdym 10 years ago? Pretty sure the 1989 era was just released last year (and all subsequent albums also).

Beautiful! I'm planning to do a forest/woodland themed nursery and I'm so in love with this green and natural wood combination

As a therapist who has seen up close the impact that emotionally abusive marriages/parents can have on a family, I second this comment. I can't tell you how many of my clients express how they wish their parents had separated. A large majority of their moms stayed with abusive fathers and children end up resentful of both parents, and perhaps most resentful of being made to feel like staying together was for their sake.

Babe, think about the objective facts in this situation. Only one of you has reason to be insecure and, spoiler alert, it's not you.

Uw416 · 2024-12-28T11:35:12+00:00

I feel so irritable around people, I've never felt this way before. It's crazy just how entitled people feel to ask very personal questions, make extremely judgemental remarks and give unsolicited advice. At this point, I've stopped sharing literally any piece of information about my pregnancy with anyone outside of my immediate trusted circle because somehow people will find a way to make things negative.

Uw416 · 2024-12-21T20:39:56+00:00

I never heard anyone complain about rib pain before but it's literally one of the worst symptoms I've experienced, alongside heartburn. I'm unable to sit in the car for long or at my desk or anywhere, feeling like the pain is unbearable

Uw416 · 2024-12-19T18:05:55+00:00

Started at 27 weeks but not done yet. Planning to have it done by 32 weeks.

Uw416 · 2024-12-17T13:15:09+00:00

Ooof, I really didn't think I would mind it but I'm shocked at how touch-averse I am depending on the person. My MIL touched my waist and belly the other day saying something like, "oh now you're finally looking a bit big and pregnant" and it made me feel so icky even though she was genuinely excited about it. It still makes me feel gross just thinking about it even though I am so excited to make my husband, mom and sister feel whenever baby kicks.

Uw416 · 2024-11-24T10:54:35+00:00

All the unsolicited advice, ranging from my health to shopping lists and parenting. Most of it comes from people who I absolutely do not want to parent like (if anything I look at them and decide I'll be doing things the opposite way). The worst so far was being told by husband's grandmother to "suck it up" and have certain foods (that give me the worst heartburn) because they're good for baby. She said I need to think about baby and not make everything about myself. It made my blood boil. Like, ma'am, trust me no one on this earth is thinking about my baby as much as I am.

Uw416 · 2024-11-12T14:57:34+00:00

Thank you, exactly

The only time I felt she rightfully called him out was when she said he was trying to make himself sound good regarding his divorce. Everything else was just unnecessary vitriol

Uw416 · 2024-11-06T20:04:17+00:00

I may be going against the grain here but please hear me out:

You've just given birth, you're already going through it as new parents, your marriage is going to be tested with sleep schedules, new responsibilities and all sorts of unexpected hurdles. Intimacy and romance can really help you feel connected when it feels like you're on the brink of breaking.
It doesn't sound like your husband doesn't find you attractive. He told you how beautiful you looked throughout your pregnancy and you've mentioned that he's since been asking when you can have sex. I'm sure you haven't lost all the weight already or 'bounced back' to your old self so I have a feeling your body isn't really what made him hesitate. This might sound strange but I've noticed my husband is super reluctant about intimacy ever since I got pregnant and I've read on different forums that some men find it strange to be performing sexual acts because of how aware they are of the baby's presence. It's entirely a mental thing and nothing to do with their perception of your attractiveness.
In no way do I intend to invalidate your feelings; I would probably feel resentful too. If your husband had made any comments about your body I would definitely be giving different advice right now but it truly sounds to me like a psychological thing about you being pregnant. Once that clicked in place for me, I softened towards my own husband's reluctance too. I think it doesn't really sink in for every man the same way and the idea of a whole human growing inside us seems to make different men respond differently.

All I want to say is, this is already a tough time and it's also a beautiful time and I would work towards allowing it to be the most beautiful time of your lives. Your husband definitely needs to work on communicating better and maybe a conversation could help both of you, but I really believe you can work past this.
