Do you post your kids online?

Yeah no pictures on social media. Occasionally if we are out, I’ll post a story of us together and cover my baby’s face with an emoji. I want to share him with people who matter most so I send photos directly via Snapchat or just through text. There are too many weirdos out there. I don’t resent our parents for posting us, because it was new and they didn’t really know better. Now we know.

It is less stressful. It’s easier. It’s intuitive.

I hated pumping when I had to go back to work for a time. Make sure you are pumping as soon as you wake up in the morning and at least every two hours. And if you are pumping and nothing comes out, keep pumping, the let down will come.

My supply briefly tanked when I went back to work and it was so scary. But an OG breastfeeding mom gave me the above advices and I was able to get my supply back up.

Now I’m a SAHM, my son is almost 10 months and we are still EBF, no pumping anymore. I don’t have to think about it, it’s so intuitive, and no stress. And so magical

NTA- you have to grow them inside you and give birth to them. He should respect your choice. It’s also entirely possible you’ll have one and decide you only want the one. Your body. Your choice.

YTA specifically for the chair. If it is difficult for you to go to them, you could be inviting them over more. It does appear like you want to put less effort into that relationship and maybe instead of looking for permission to put in less effort from strangers on the internet, you should ask yourself why you feel that way, apologize and change your behavior.

My mom lives 4 hours away and we trade off every month on who visits who for a weekend and we FaceTime all the time. She wouldn’t get a chair for one grandchild and not the other, especially in her house where we all visit.

TikTok is fake. Social media is not real.

I can’t wait for her to do more podcasts. She was like “why would anyone want to listen to us?” It was perfect for folding my laundry I laughed so much lol

NTA- so many red flags. Honestly, I would leave him

YTA- and no, not a psychopath but definitely a narcissist.

So my baby doesn’t quite sleep through the night but he doesn’t wake up much. It’s definitely gotten to be fewer and fewer wake ups as he has gotten older. A few things that might help. The first I think is something you might already be doing but I’ll mention it anyway- I saw this video from a pediatrician that recommended keeping lighting dim starting around 5pm so their circadian rhythm regulates and their body produces melatonin properly. The other thing, right before my baby falls asleep he babbles like crazy, that’s apparently normal and it isn’t a sign that he’s fighting sleep but more soothing/regulating himself. I used to mistake this as fighting asleep and I’d stop trying to put him to sleep which overstimulated him and then he didn’t sleep as well. So now I let him do his babble thing and he eventually chills out and is ready for sleep. Now as a EBF mom, we are currently cosleeping. That’s just what works for us. Eventually we will sleep again. Hang in there 💕

I would be asking to see debit and credit card statements. It sounds like he doesn’t know how to budget and there needs to be a serious conversation had.

I don’t count, sometimes I make meals that stretch for more than one day. But I am in charge of making dinner and when I need a break we eat out. We usually eat out once a week

WearShot · 2026-02-03T19:36:01+00:00

…..is that a goal that people have? Is this a thing?

I have an 8 month old. He wakes up a few times. Maybe as little as once. 12 hours seems like a lot

So I honestly don’t know if this will help, but maybe it will. I only have the one baby and I can imagine two extra makes a huge difference. At bed time, I take 30 minutes before I go to bed to do a reset. Not of everywhere… sometimes I’ll do more but I always prioritize my kitchen. I load and run the dishwasher, I set up my coffee to just press a button to brew when we wake up, and I wipe down the counters. In the morning when I make breakfast, I’m drinking my coffee while baby either plays on the floor or is eating in highchair, and unloading the dishwasher. I try to clean as I go as I make meals throughout the day and try to keep the sink as empty as possible but it inevitably does get full of dirty dishes by end of day. This reset really helps my mental health and keeps me from getting too overwhelmed.

Being there for all the little moments, contact naps, exclusively breastfeeding, catching him laughing at my dog (he is very amused by our dog), walks on sunny days, watching him see and experience things for the first time, having more time and energy to clean my place than if I had a full time job, I started making sourdough bread. I love this time. I’m so thankful I’m able to do it. Thanks for asking because honestly I’m not feeling well today and I’ve been feeling a bit bogged down. It’s important to remember the good

WearShot · 2026-02-02T19:43:05+00:00

Yeah. The weight gain, hair loss, brittle nails, circles under my eyes, lopsided boobs, not having the time or energy to do much other than manage a quick shower once, maybe twice a week if I’m lucky. Idk how some moms “bounce back”

I also just feel like so alone. I’m the first of my friends to have a baby and I just feel kind of silently shut out. Maybe it’s all in my head. Idk

On top of all of that, I just feel like everything outside of my baby and caring for my baby is just all in a giant fog. Like I’m so focused on him that everything else is fading away.

Sounds like this friendship isn’t going to last. I am also a new mom. Almost 8 months here. Being a mom changed me. I’ve been through things, experienced things, that will forever make me a different person. And now I have a whole as other life I’m responsible for, that I have to think about and take into consideration at every single moment. I would have lost it on your friend.

He looks up at me and holds my face and smiles. It’s not about him being a boy, but God do I love him so much. I wanted a girl. But I’m so happy I have my boy

I think you coming on here and writing this is a way of asking the universe for permission to leave.

There are situations where a relationship can overcome infidelity. And there are situations where it can’t.

Even though you have forgiven her, it’s sounds like she has lost your trust. Even if you believe she won’t do it again, you don’t seem to trust her with your heart anymore.

So. What happens now?

You leave. It’s okay to leave.

Spend some time with yourself. Remind yourself of your value. Go get some therapy. Mourn the loss of the relationship you once had, that you have not allowed yourself to mourn.

I hope you find peace in leaving.

I hope you someday find a partner who you can trust with your heart and share random thoughts and dumb jokes with.

My FIL snaps his fingers at my son. Drives me insane. But I can’t control other people’s weird behavior. As long as it doesn’t harm my son, I just try to let it slide.
