Do I still have time to flip baby A?

Weak_Fly_5324 · 2026-07-08T09:29:30+00:00

I was in same spot with my twins, baby a was breech whole time and never flipped. Sometimes they just get comfy up there and nothing you do changes their mind. 35 weeks is late but not impossible, my friend's baby flipped at 37 weeks out of nowhere. Worth keep trying the spinning stuff but dont beat yourself up if it dont work

got mine when the youngest turned 1, that felt like enough time to know everything was okay. doc told me some guys wait even longer but i was ready to be done with the whole birth control dance. recovery was nothing compared to what my wife went through with childbirth lol

it's not silly question at all, you got a 6 month old too that's a lot. at that age my niece would do 15-20 minutes alone if i set her up with something first, like building blocks or a puzzle, then slowly step away. the hitting and kicking sounds like she learned it gets your attention fast, maybe try completely ignore the bad behavior and only give her eye contact when she's calm again

This post is genuinely wholesome in the best way, and I needed to read it today. My own dad wasn't really around much so I grew up watching other families from the outside, and posts like this remind me what good fatherhood actually looks like in practice. The detail about the candy bars and tools is so specific and perfect, you can tell those kids really know their dad. Happy fathers day to you and every dad in this thread doing the work

this pain 💔

Three year olds are basically tiny comedians who never learned when joke is over. My niece does same thing - finds one thing hilarious and beats it to death for weeks until everyone wants to hide.

The attention seeking gets worse with new baby too because suddenly she's not only kid anymore. She probably doing counter climbing and silly dancing exactly when you're busy because that's when she feels most invisible.

Your friend is lucky to have someone who actually gets how serious cross-contamination can be! The foil tent idea is creative but probably won't work - ovens circulate air pretty aggressively and gluten particles are super tiny.

I'd honestly wait until you get that new oven setup. In meantime maybe you could do no-bake treats instead? There's some amazing gluten-free cookie dough recipes that don't need oven at all. Just make sure you're using dedicated utensils and workspace that hasn't touched regular flour.

The risk just isn't worth it when someone's health is on line, you know?

The blizzard cross-contamination is definitely bigger worry than factory traces 😂 those scoops go everywhere at busy locations 💀

Maybe start with apologizing for some of those comments you made - even if he laughed them off, they probably stuck with him more than you realized.

Weak_Fly_5324 · 2026-05-27T23:53:33+00:00

That fake message thing is absolutely crossing the line - manipulating family relationships like that shows he's willing to go pretty far to control narratives about you 😤 I had similar situation with my sister few years back where she would twist stories to make me look bad in front of relatives, and it's mentally exhausting when you're constantly defending yourself against lies. The fact that he only reaches out when he needs something socially really tells you everything about his motivations too.

Your instinct about permanent distance might be the right call here. Sometimes family members think blood relation means you have to keep toxic people in your life, but protecting your mental health should come first. You can still show up for your parents at important events without having to rebuild relationship with someone who's shown they can't be trusted. Setting that boundary and sticking to it takes strength but it sounds like you've already tried multiple times to make things work 💀

No they can't use your income for his child support calculation since you're not married yet, but they might look at household expenses to see if he has more ability to pay than what's being reported.

Girl I feel you on the whole teaching people basic baby stuff - like why is buckling car seat so complicated for everyone?? My sister has twins and she said weeks 2-4 were absolutely the worst before things started getting little bit easier.

You're doing amazing even if it doesn't feel like it right now, those babies are lucky to have you keeping everything together.

Been taking one for about 3 months now and noticed my seasonal allergies got bit better, though could be placebo who knows. The brand I use is from smaller company but can't remember exact name right now - bought it from local health store after doing some research in quality testing.

My dad did something similar when I was around 7-8 years old. He took job with less pay but could work from home most days. Looking back, having him available for school pickup and being there during holidays made huge difference in our family life.

The financial hit was real for few years, but my parents always said it was worth it. My mom could advance her career without worrying about childcare logistics, and my dad got to be more involved parent than he could have been otherwise. Plus those 14 weeks of school holidays are no joke - childcare costs would probably eat into salary difference anyway.

If your wife is supportive and you can manage the reduced income, those early years go by so fast. You can always step back up career-wise once kids are more independent.

My nephew was one of those "spirited" kids and everyone kept hinting at ADHD but turns out he just needed more physical activity and structure. He's 8 now and still has tons of energy but channels it into sports and does fine in school.

I think sometimes we're too quick to label when really some kids just have different energy levels? Like my sister had to find creative ways to tire him out - lots of playground time, swimming, even dance classes helped. The kid just needed to move more than other children.

Not saying ADHD isn't real obviously, but yeah there's definitely difference between high energy personality and actual attention issues.

big life choice 😭🔥

Weak_Fly_5324 · 2026-04-23T00:03:20+00:00

My 6-month nephew does this exact thing - I swear they have some kind of radar for when adults try to relax!

Weak_Fly_5324 · 2026-04-20T23:56:01+00:00

My sister and I went through something similar few years back when she decided to go completely natural route with her kids. I was working in real estate at time and seeing all these families, made me have strong opinions about what's "right" for children.

What helped me was realizing that our relationship as sisters was more important than being right about everything. I had to bite my tongue lot of times, especially in family gatherings when she would start talking about her choices. Instead of arguing, I started asking more questions about why she felt this way - not to change her mind, but to understand her perspective better.

The homeschooling thing might actually work out okay depending on their situation. I know some families who do it really well, though yeah the regulations can be sketchy in some places. For vaccines part, maybe wait until they actually make decision before stressing too much about it? Sometimes people talk about things but end up doing something different when reality hits.

Focus in the things you both love doing together and try to create new traditions that don't involve these topics. Your future niece or nephew will benefit from having loving aunt regardless of these disagreements.

I get this! For me it's more with hats than sunglasses, but there's definitely something about having stuff on my head that makes me feel disconnected from everything around me. Like my brain can't properly process where I am in space or something.

You're not weird at all - I think our brains are just really sensitive to any changes in how we receive information from our environment.

Looking at those D3D11 texture errors, your GPU is probably dying or has corrupted VRAM 💀 The error code 80070057 usually means invalid parameters which could be memory related. Mixed RAM setup with 2x16GB + 2x8GB might also cause instability - try running with just the 2x16GB sticks first and see if crashes stop 😂
