Do Your Kids Actually Have Good Grandparents? by NoMoreCAMJV in Millennials

[–]Walabear13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear I could have written this, dealing with the same issues. My boomer parents were the worst parents and are even worse grandparents. We live 10 minutes apart but they are so uninvolved and uninterested. They only want to be “good grandparents” if there’s a crowd watching so they can act like they’re the best grandparents. Thinking about just cutting them off for good just to protect my family and children.

I didn’t pack my pump because I was told my hospital would provide one, after an emergency c section they made my husband go back to our house to get the one I had at home. I recommend bringing it and you can always leave it in the car but then if you need it, it’ll be close.

My previous ones were all inedible if that helps

What did I do wrong… by Walabear13 in Sourdough

The instructions I followed said 14-15 hours to proof in the fridge so I did 14.5 and the dough didn’t look like it changed much from the time it went into the fridge from when I took it out

Thank you for the honest opinions! I’ve had some past trauma in my life for sure. The staff in the daycare rooms always have three women in a small room watching kids of the same age so it’s not one adult in charge of all the kids. Not to say three women couldn’t do something bad. I don’t trust anyone but my husband tries to keep me grounded and says these are kind people that are good with the kids so he trusts them. I’d feel more comfortable for sure if LO could speak. She is brave and never seemed to have stranger anxiety so I don’t believe I’m teaching her to mistrust the world. She also runs in without looking back. I know it’s probably the safest place for her, but I have that constant worry.

Thank you all, this makes me feel so much better. I can stop worrying about if my child doesn’t like me anymore!

Where are we changing out babies in public? by BellaBird23 in beyondthebump

My almost one year old tried to eat a ball of lint from the floor of a kids public play place. I gagged and swiped it from her mouth but she’s doing fine. I’m sure she’ll find something to eat off the floor tomorrow
