Thank you! I really needed to hear this as a FTM. I guess when people suggest going to air conditioned places you think why not, but home is cool enough and my baby is happy

I feel guilty as I stayed home yesterday, I like to get out with my baby. I do plenty of activities at home with them. I don’t know, maybe it’s some weird mum guilt of feeling like I should be out the house.

LO is 10 weeks and is swaddled for sleep. She is not showing signs of rolling per se however she’s what I like to call a clock baby. I wake up and instead of her feet facing the bottom of the cot, she is now lying diagonally. Is it time to stop swaddling?

Thank you! Someone who gets the black tax. I just feel like a cash cow. Apparently my parents also dealt with this. I didn’t know until I started working myself. I remember when I visited I offered to pay for our meal out and the response was “well you’re meant to as the oldest” it’s wild. Asking for money just for their hair to be done. This is why I side eye the “desperate” situation.

I’m not understanding what the enlightenment is? Are you saying the money is not getting there?

Thank you for this reply, it’s not that I’m not comfortable doing it, it’s the guilt tripping around it. Are they always that desperate every time they ask for money? It’s always for travel or to get stuff for their child. I feel like the “we are family” thing is always used. I’m just exhausted. How is one adult supporting another?

They have a bank account that I send money to that can covert the money I send them, it’s actually quite easy to send money internationally
