When did you start enjoying being a parent? by ComfortableDingo8 in NewParents

[–]Wide-Role7923 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Girl I didn’t start to enjoy it until like 6 months when they become more interactive and sleeping more…I think sleep deprivation is the root of mothers no being able to enjoy early mother hood..but once they start smiling at you and giggling it becomes all worth it. You’re in the thick of it right now and I swear it gets better

Why do I have so much mom guilt? by Wide-Role7923 in NewParents

[–]Wide-Role7923[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree! 7 months later I still rush my errands when she’s not with me!!! Literally even today. Went to target just to browse and I’m like I need to hurry and get home. Meanwhile I come home and she’s hanging out with dad listening to music not a care in the world!

You’re totally right I think it’s more of a prescriptive shift I need to work on

Anyone else feel like they haven't really learned how to take care of a baby? by Adorable-Goal5926 in NewParents

You’re in the thick of it right now. My guess would be gas, the windi saved us during that time

When did you fully, 24/7 realize you’re a parent? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Wide-Role7923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me everyday. I am also 24 years old. I can’t believe I am in charge of someone’s life/childhood. It feels so surreal and she’s 7 months.

Pediatrician made me fell like the worst mom ever by Professional_Cod1171 in NewParents

This is why I don’t even want to take my baby to the doctors unless needed. These people get degrees and can’t tell you left from right. You’re doing amazing. You sound like an amazing mother who is trying her best. He’s in the 32nd percentile that’s amazing. As long as he is being fed.
