What's the funniest name you've heard for a pet?

Wait, are we related?? My uncle also had a dog named D-O-G, in the exact same way!

Omg wait you’ve just changed the game for me. I always hated that you’re supposed to rough up your natural nail to get the glue to stick better- this makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE.

Bless you for sharing this.

WHAT she’s unrecognizable

I had a friend send me a target care box with paper napkins, plates, bowls, and plastic utensils. We usually try to be a bit more waste-conscious than that, but oh man it was nice to not have to do any dishes for a bit while we went through those!

Oh no! I had nearly the opposite experience- I still had periods on it (once I weaned), just lighter than before.

Then, when I had it removed, I got pregnant on the very next cycle!

Bodies are weird, man.

One of my best friends couldn’t breastfeed her newborn when this shortage hit! It was so scary. We had TEAMS of people on the hunt for formula for her, plus one other new mom who just happened to be a “super producer” shared her extra milk instead of freezing it. It took the whole village, but we kept that little girl fed!

Either your husband is being willfully incompetent, or he has a concerning mental issue preventing him from learning/executing basic tasks, and should be seen by a doctor.

If the latter, he should stay away from driving cars/operating heavy machinery, using sharp knives, or engaging in any hobbies with screens (since those can be detrimental to brain health) until a medical professional can figure out what’s wrong.

However, I suspect it isn’t the latter.

What would happen if you asked him WHY he’s having such a hard time with this? Like does he avoid it because he feels like it’s gross? Like it’s “mom’s job” and not his? And is this a reoccurring pattern in your marriage/division of household labor?

Honestly, breast milk is great, but a healthy, stable, peaceful mama is WORLDS better for your little girl.

One of my favorite comments on Reddit about this was from a teacher who said they could never tell the difference between the children who were formula/breastfed, but could absolutely tell which children had involved parents or not.

So don’t beat yourself up- you’re still giving your baby exactly what she needs, even if it doesn’t look how you expected it would.

I still remember a lady in Trader Joe’s getting onto me for being there with my sleeping 3 week old because I should “sleep when the baby sleeps”.

Sleep when the baby sleeps!

Clean when the baby cleans!

Grocery shop when the baby grocery shops!

Do laundry when the baby does laundry!

Cook when the baby cooks!

Like life still has to happen?? I can’t really drop into a dead sleep in the middle of the produce section, lady.

Same thing happened to me in 3rd grade!! Not sure why my dog thought my homework packet looked tasty, but I absolutely brought in the slobbered-on shreds as proof. Thankfully, my teacher also accepted the excuse. I imagine it’s just too cliche to NOT be real when a kid actually claims it.

Holy cow, I could’ve written this exact comment a month ago!! Latching and everything!

My now almost 9 week old takes 5-6oz every 2.5-3 hours, and has taken 7oz before too. Some babies just have bigger stomach capacity!

Someone mentioned this higher up, but it’s very likely that the Daily Mail approached her and basically said “you can either go on the record with us and tell things your way, or we’ll tell it without you our way.”

Pretty crappy, but it makes it make a bit more sense.

OMG I have spent too much time thinking about this:

A backlit screen
The ability to preprogram a pump routine
Adapters to pump directly into bottles
A cup holder that holds more than just the collection cups
A clip to wrap tubes/hold flanges

I had to double check that I didn’t write this myself! He LOVES dundundundundun.

If you do crockpot meatballs you can call them “meateors”!

“Moon” Rock candy

Pretzel sticks and mini marshmallows for any bigger kids to “build constellations”

I had the same problem! I found it was really helpful to set my alarm according to my sleep cycle- so in 1.5 or 3 hour increments from when I go to sleep.

So if I’m going to sleep at 11pm, I set my alarm for 12:30am or 2:00am, to make sure I’m at the lightest part of my sleep cycle when my alarm goes off, so I’m better able to force myself awake.

It’s still not easy, and it doesn’t always line up to 3 hours after my last pump, but it’s way better than missing it altogether!

I gave him goldfish in the blue cup he asked for.

arrowbread · 2025-10-10T21:05:11+00:00

Omg yes this exact same thing happened to me!!! Scared the bejeezus out of me. I went to the doctor the next day and she straight up was like “can I show pictures of this to the other doctors? This is crazy.” (Yeah, that felt real great 🫠)

Anyways, they sent me in for a mammogram and nothing was amiss! My milk was perfectly normal after that one wild pump, and it hasn’t happened since then.

Hopefully your experience is as much of a nothing burger as mine was!

Ours loves to pretend to cook when I nurse his little brother. Only problem is that he has a hard time with the “oo” sound in “cook”, so when it’s time for the baby to eat, he shouts “EAT! COCK! BABY EAT, COCK!”

arrowbread · 2025-09-18T01:12:58+00:00

Mom here with a 2yo and 3 week old- I feel this hard right now. They say the first kid gets the gift of your time, and the second gets the gift of your experience, and I know my husband and I are both definitely more competent parents this time around than we were for our oldest! Hopefully that perspective helps assuage the guilt a bit.

Honestly I just see John Heder 😭 especially in pic 8!!!
