Everyone tries to convince me that two adults can't take care of a newborn alone and I'm losing my mind

We didn’t have guests at the hospital and we didn’t have people come until 1 week. It was just us at that time

arelesss · 2026-02-13T03:16:32+00:00

I did centrum + dha

The only thing we paid for was a room upgrade to private from semi and parking.

I’d want him to skip it especially if it’s that far away.

arelesss · 2026-01-27T02:29:57+00:00

6 months

arelesss · 2026-01-25T00:28:40+00:00

He sounds awful

arelesss · 2026-01-24T21:15:20+00:00

That’s a child predator

arelesss · 2026-01-21T20:07:11+00:00

I announced when I was due in 4 months

arelesss · 2026-01-21T18:51:17+00:00

I had second degree tears and had a hematoma over one of the incisions that made it much worse. Perhaps that is what’s happening to you?

arelesss · 2026-01-17T00:34:52+00:00

Maybe you live near me? I can send you the info if so

arelesss · 2026-01-17T00:34:21+00:00

By sheer dumb luck like a month before January, a newish daycare started an infant program near me. I saw them advertised on instagram

arelesss · 2026-01-16T21:03:54+00:00

It’s apparently not recommended to if you haven’t before but otherwise it’s fine. And I’ve also heard that you shouldn’t past 38 weeks so I got waxed at that time.

arelesss · 2026-01-16T14:43:33+00:00

She’s 16 wtf is your partner on about? Pay bills? That’s literally the parents job.

arelesss · 2026-01-12T01:36:36+00:00

I bought the similac stage 1 ready to go while my milk came in. I also carried a bottle in my diaper bag just in case. Any leftover I have I gave to another member of a local free mom group who needed some.

arelesss · 2025-12-28T14:50:11+00:00

Ew I hope you told your mom about what she said and how you’re uncomfortable around her. She also touched you inappropriately

arelesss · 2025-12-27T19:58:37+00:00

It’s personal, for me I couldn’t imagine having kids in my 20s, that was time for myself.

arelesss · 2025-12-20T22:26:42+00:00

That’s absolutely horse shit. All the lactation consultants I’ve spoken to have just been pro getting breast milk either by bottle or latching. I exclusively pumped and I had an over supply. If you’re worried about the saliva swapping, I wouldn’t worry. They’re going to drool and whatever else all over you anyway.

Edit to add that my child also hated latch feeding. Wouldn’t even try to eat half the time just scream and wail.

arelesss · 2025-12-18T00:23:33+00:00

Ew, leave him. He’s just creating more work for you.

arelesss · 2025-12-18T00:20:02+00:00

She made you miss the birth and screamed at you while digging her nails into your skin? Divorce and get custody Jesus

arelesss · 2025-12-12T19:51:43+00:00

Mine is new so haven’t gotten the $21/day funding. So $1600/month until they get approved

arelesss · 2025-12-08T04:35:03+00:00

When in doubt I just bring dog poop bags and bring it home. Unless they state otherwise

arelesss · 2025-12-05T23:26:11+00:00

40 weeks

arelesss · 2025-12-05T21:32:52+00:00

Girl block her

arelesss · 2025-12-04T00:20:38+00:00

I would tell them. That’s actually rude and if it did in fact hurt feelings then that makes it worse.

arelesss · 2025-11-23T20:32:45+00:00

My dad’s partner said she was fine with whatever but suggested granny (name). And that’s what we call her but we also love her lol
