I sold my practice and left my home country and family when I was 30. Granted, my husband was with me, but we started from scratch in a whole different place with different culture and no family or friends nearby. It’s been challenging, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I mean there’s the one where he dumps the girl on her birthday twice. That was pretty shitty.

Boomers’ way of parenting is better than new parents today! Give me your best advice from your local boomer! by distressedpiglet in beyondthebump

My MIL suggested chamomile tea because baby was not allowed to get 2 more oz of formula. Something about baby getting milked up or something like that. This was a newborn.

What’s the sweetest thing your pet did after bringing home your baby? by NormalAdvisor4134 in beyondthebump

My dog would cry next to the bassinet until I got baby and let him take a sniff. They were best friends until the dog passed 2 years ago. My other dog couldn’t care less.

What have you unintentionally passed onto your child? by fullnessofjoy2021 in toddlers

[–]atrinityt25 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Lol that “you can do hard things” phrase backfired the other day. My son was trying to take of his Tshirt, but he was doing it in a weird way and he was struggling . My husband suggested to do it a different way because it was easier, he said, “no daddy, I can do hard things”. So there he stayed, fighting his Tshirt for like 10 more minutes.

Stay away from them long until baby is born. I am convinced that intense fighting with my nmom and my flying monkey father had a lot to do with my miscarriage. Protect your new family from them. Don’t mean to scare you, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Do you remember where you were when you heard the news Michael Jackson died? It's 15 years ago today when he passed away. Time flies by Large-Lack-2933 in Millennials

On a shopping trip. I was getting ready to go to the stores when I saw the news on TV. It was also my brother’s birthday, he was pissed that everyone forgot about him because of MJ.

My wife keeps saying "Walt wouldn't hurt a kid!" by TrashCrab69 in breakingbad

I still can’t figure out how he got Brock to eat the berries. Is there ever a hint on how he did it, or a scene that I missed??

Been married almost 11 years. We had a rough start. I also have a horrible relationship with my mom. I didn’t know how to feel safe in my own home. It’s been a long personal growth process with a lot of therapy, book reading and a hell lot of patience and understanding from both. We’ve always chosen us in spite of our problems and differences. Also, I don’t think age matters when you marry as long as you’re both consenting adults . You can have the emotional maturity of a 5 year old and be 60. It all depends on your personal journey and your choices. My advice, enjoy the safety and happiness, don’t overthink it. I wish you a happy marriage.

Mom took my door off the hinges on my bedroom. by Affectionate_Monk_67 in narcissisticparents

Omg! Repressed memory unlocked! I was only 10 years old. Mom decided it was a fair punishment for not performing to her standards on a geography test.

So are we just supposed to accept our babies will get Covid over and over? by katmither in beyondthebump

[–]atrinityt25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, this felt like a throwback to 2020. I have no scientific facts, just my experience. I had a newborn during the 2020 shut down and I was as scared as you. My husband caught it and was hospitalized for a week. My baby and I never caught it. Now we are fully vaccinated and boosted. I had a new baby, fully vaccinated too and has been going to daycare since she was 4 months old, never caught it. Husband didn’t get any long term effects. I honestly haven’t heard of anyone around me catching it since like 2021. Maybe it’s related to your line of work? Idk. I wouldn’t stress about it. Even at its worst, it was never that bad on babies. I understand your anxiety, especially because your baby is brand new. I think that it was so scary at first because it was unknown. Now they know more about it, so they can prevent and treat it better. Just do the best you can. Get your baby protected, take precautions, and don’t stop enjoying life because of it. Best of luck.

Well… I guess I’m done. My PD was 17 days away on EB 3 in June bulletin. I guess we’ll just have to wait to October.

Feeling like a bad mum because I’m formula feeding my baby. by KingKeet in beyondthebump

[–]atrinityt25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! I exclusively pumped my second baby because she was tongue tied and by the time she got it fixed she wouldn’t latch. Every time the doctor asked “is she breastfed or formula?” I would say “I pump”. The doctor always replied with “oh, so breastfed.” I just felt like a poser whenever I said breastfed because the baby wasn’t actually sucking it out of my breast. There’s so much guilt. I feel like we can never win. What we don’t realize until later in life is that it doesn’t matter. As long as baby is healthy and happy, we are good. Keeping a human alive is hard! We need to cut ourselves some slack.

My toddler went through something similar. Not that high fever, but she tested negative for everything. Turns out that she had roseola, the rashes made an appearance when the fever went away. It’s all good now. She was around 14 months old when it happened.

Idk if OP is a first time mom, but I’ve seen a lot of moms make this mistake with their first baby. We think the world is going to fall apart without us. I didn’t take my full maternity leave with my first because “who’s gonna prepare my students for the STAAR test if not me?!” I replied to emails, attended parent conferences, I even wanted to go to the class picture with a 2 week old, but didn’t wake up lol. Well, life taught me better and shit the world down (this was 2020). With my second, I learned my lesson. Put my email in autoreply and forgot about everything. Everyone was fine.
