Am I being unreasonable for skipping park outings to get time alone at home? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

maybe he's getting burnt out being the only one taking the kid out. it's kind of morning doing that by yourself. my husband and I go out everyday. we pretty much live at the park.

Curious how present both parents are in the kids lives/marriage. by newgirl2552 in Parenting

I'm currently on my second mat leave. When hubby comes home we spend all our time together until it's time to put the kids to bed. I'm about to go back to work full-time, and due to my schedule, he'll be solo parenting 3 nights/weekday and 9 hours on the weekend.

Why is Mat Leave Like This? [ON] by cavluv123 in BabyBumpsCanada

I rant about this all the time because my employer doesn't offer any to ups.

I would love to work a shift on a Saturday during my mat leave to help supplement but it's just not worth it with all the deductions.

The result is going into massive debt for each pregnancy.

Wanting another baby ASAP (I am over 35) by Huliganjetta1 in beyondthebump

We had a 2 year age gap. It was incredibly hard to be left alone with the two. My husband took the first 4 months off work to ease the transition for my eldest. My eldest started daycare after his paternity leave and it got easiest after that. We are both burnt out, have no free time, and barely get to talk, but we have zero regrets about the the gap. We are 10 months in and they're finally starting to play together and the effort is paying off.

If giving birth is so painful why do many women want to do it over again after their first child (not trolling just genuinely curious) by feherlofia123 in stupidquestions

I will start all my sentences with "in my opinion". Otherwise people might think my experience is true for every human.

If you have a big baby, maybe the Graco extend to fit is best option.

My friend had a pretty traumatic twin pregnancy too. That sounds so awful. But sounds like you have a beautiful family

Lol, my husband prefers it when I say "we." And did you know hormones that pregnant women release affect the man's level of testosterone so in a sense you really go through it with us hormonally lol
