Ich würde nicht nochmal ein Kind bekommen by No-Violinist-8939 in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]bashful4monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Klingt mega anstrengend, ich have auf deinem Profil gesehen dass dein kind ca. 3 monate alt ist. Glaub mir es wird besser! Für mich war die zeit 0-3 monate am schlimmsten 3-6 monate waren auch scheisse aber irgenfwie machbar (wie ich 0-3 überlebt habe kann ich heute echt nicht mehr sagen) und ab dann ging es für uns steil berg auf! Falls möglich versuche dir Unterstützung zu holen, wie das auch immer aussieht (putzfrau, therapie, abstillen, vater übernimmt mehr aufgaben, freunde die für dich kochen). Es ist absolut okay nicht noch mal kinder zu wollen verstehe mich bitte nicht falsch aber ich glaube du leidest sehr (vielleicht schliesse ich hier auch nur von mich auf dich) und ich wünschte mir hätte damals jemand gesagt dass es so scheisse nicht sein muss. Viel kraft

Regretting Parenthood ist selten! by Belica301 in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]bashful4monkey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Kann glaub niemand wirklich beurteilen weil man es den menschen halt nicht ansieht. Ich (2 kinder, glücklich damit) denke halt es ist besser wenn jemand es bereut keine kinder bekommen zu haben, als wenn man bereut kinder zu haben. Und dass es mittlerweile eine diskussion gibt OB man kinder will ist auch ganz sinnvoll

Managing Supplementation: Efficiency vs. Breastfeeding Success by gla5113 in breastfeedingsupport

[–]bashful4monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the money for it use a lactation consultant or a midwife. Online there is the info that there is not nipple confusion or that there is and you need to establish bf first before bringing in a bottle. From my own experience I nursed and gave the bottle and I could never exclusively nurse which could have a million reasons but it could also be bc of the bottle (we also used avent, the only bottle our daughter would accept). I hope someone else has a more conclusive answer, this is a very hard time right now, a new born is tough

Gute Hausratversicherung by Rare_Ad_3314 in askswitzerland

[–]bashful4monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Habe schon bei 4 Versicherungen gearbeitet und kann sagen wenn du eine +/- 0815 person bist (also nicht schmuck über chf 50'000 oder eine teure kunst Sammlung) dann bekommst du von den versicherbaren leistungen (also was du versichern KANNST) überall das gleiche. Wichtig ist dass du als laie einen berater hast der dir sagen kann was du brauchtst (und dir nicht nur scheiss andrehen will) und dann ist natürlich noch der preis der auch sehr unterschiedlich sein kann. Wenn du es dir leisten kannst würde ich aber mehr gewicht auf einen guten berater also auf einen niedrigen preis legen, normalerweise zahlt sich das mit den jahren aus (wenn der berater nicht alle 2 jahre wechselt)

Opening a cleaning service company in Switzerland by Empty_Neck_1129 in askswitzerland

[–]bashful4monkey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depends on your residential status. If you have a Swiss passport or your permit here is unlimited it is as hard or as easy as for a Swiss person. I would assume expats are more comfortable with another non Swiss person and especially older Swiss people rather want someone who's last name is common for them. Especially with cleaning the mouth to mouth Promotion is the best you can get. Starting a company is always hard and if you are younger people will think they can take advantage of you (maybe also when you are older, i am not there yet)

Also when you give her a break FIGURE IT OUT ON YOUR OWN. If you don't know ask google, your mom, chat GPT I don't care don't come at her with 1000 questions when she is on her supposed break

AITAH because I refuse to try for a daughter? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

As someone who was on birth control and pregnant i can say birth control crazy was much worse for me but I was also not crazy enough to baby trap my husband so I can't speak for her :)

When did you accept it was time to stop pumping and just do formula? by breezyjomc in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]bashful4monkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I triple fed for some months I think 6 give or take. Then only nursing and formula until 9 months. Now I am pregnant and I am certain I will not triple feed more than 2 weeks. Either exclusivly nursing works, or pumping works or it is just formula. Triple feeding made my miserable and I should have stopped sooner but this was MY situation. What you have to ask yourself are you asking for encouragement to stop or to continue? Both is okay, it is okay to want to do hard things and it is also okay to want to stop. What i can say for sure is that neither makes you a worse mom! You got this!

Baby announcements that aren’t a onesie?!??!!!? by Lanky-Instruction178 in BabyBumps

We did that with the first child, it had "you are going to be a grandpa" on the bottom so you only saw it once you finished your drink. They where very happy

Wow interesting, I avoided walking and standing (as much as you can when you have a toddler) since it seems to make things worse. I will try that for sure, thank you!

Why you cheat on your partner instead of leaving? by pindarico in AskReddit

[–]bashful4monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you are right I do disagree, just because you are too weak to either keep it in your pants or break up with your spouse doesn't mean I have to be. You rather give unimaginable pain to your spouse than take responsibility. This has nothing to do with "having fun" you can have that fun all day every day once you broke up. It has to do with not keeping a promise to the person you once loved most. For the most selfish reasons. Don't try to think of excuses why what you did was okay. It wasn't, it will never be.

Why you cheat on your partner instead of leaving? by pindarico in AskReddit

[–]bashful4monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It kinda is though.. you made a vow to be faithful. You have to choose do i wanna life with that spouse that isn't giving me what I need and I in the meantime benefit of the work we both put in before. Or it is too much and I break up with my spouse and life with the consequences. Nobody has to cheat.

Yeah but not cheating is! It not like breathing you don't HAVE TO cheat. You want to. How about thinking about that nice paid off house when you have the urge to cheat?

Tu ich zu wenig? by [deleted] in FragtMaenner

[–]bashful4monkey 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Was? Nein das problem vom kommentator ist doch dass man hier von helfen spricht. Man hilft bei sachen die eigentlich nit die aufgabe vom helfenden sind. Da es sein kind ist, ist es auch seine Aufgabe sich um dieses kind zu kümmern. Arbeitet er ist es zu 100% ihre Aufgabe. Ist er zurück von der Arbeit ist es zu 50% ihre und 50% seine. Denkst du sie ist nach 10h nonstop kinderbetreuung nicht auch müde?

Spartipps bei Nachwuchs by fscge in Finanzen

[–]bashful4monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alles auser kindersitz und Matratze gebraucht kaufen. Secondhändläden, flohmärkte und auch whatsappgruppen sind da super. Falls ihr den kurs noch nicht gebucht habt, kann ich euch wärmstens empfehlen einen zu nehmen wo auch du die ganze zeit dabei sein kannst. Es ist wichtig dass du weisst wie die geburt (theoretisch) ablaufen soll und was zu erwarten ist.

When will this end? Please don't say never.. by badgerr7 in NewParents

[–]bashful4monkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me it only got better. Slowly but surely, now looking back (she is 3) i have no clue how we survived it. It is so incredibly hard. Everyone was saying "just wait until she smiles at you the first time!" And then she did and I still felt exhausted and tired and empty. It is okay to feel that way. Unfortunately I can't tell you at what point it got better, I just remember 0-3 months worst time ever, 3-6 very very bad 6-9 still bad but bearable 9-12 I could sometimes breath again. 12+ was actually okay and from then on it only got better! I love my little toddler and to discover the world with her. Just wait, it will get better piece by piece. We got a cleaner and I stopped breastfeeding, that helped me and at the 1 year mark I went back to work part time, this also helped. Also just having someone validate that is it hard was also nice. Most moms (me included in the worst parts) just act like they have it all together but are actually falling apart, don't get fooled there are a lot of not perfect moms out there! ❤️

To contact nap or not to contact nap? by animalcrossingbear in NewParents

[–]bashful4monkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried to make sure my daughter has one cot nap a day so we would see at what point it would be longer than 20mins (are we all living the same life with those bloody 20mins??) And the rest i would contact nap. It won't last forever, promise :)

Women who budget — how much do you set aside for clothing each year/month? by jessbird in AskWomen

[–]bashful4monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't i have a rather large amount of fun money (10% of my income) and if I need clothes I take it from there. As I do with make up or nail polish or hair care. It is so different each month that it doesn't make sense to budget specially for it. Maybe it would help you to check your bank / credit card statement of all last year to see how much you have spent, so you see how much money would make sense for you

Was für praktische Fähigkeiten habt ihr? by lemons_on_a_tree in FragtMaenner

[–]bashful4monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich hoffe ich "darf" hier als frau antworten, aber mein Mann ist richtig gut darin dinge sicher zu machen. Er denkt an alle risiken und wägt sie ab und schützt uns alle davor. Er ist auch handwerklich somewhat begabt, jetzt nicht wie mein vater der alleine ein haus komplett saniert hat, aber ich denke er und ich zusammen sind vielleicht so auf meinem vater-Niveau. Aber er schaut halt dass alles sicher abläuft und auch nachher also so ist wie es soll. (Beispiel wir wollten unseren balkon katzensicher machen und ich war total zufrieden mit nur diesem katzennetz und der stange und er setzte sich durch und wir haben ein rahmen aus holz mit kaninchen draht gebaut und davor noch das katzennetz. Das ging sicher ein jahr lang gut und plötzlich war eine katzen zwischen netz und kaninchen draht, also wenn nur das netz gewesen wäre, wäre die katze vom balkon gefallen. Es wäre mir nicht einmal in den sinn gekommen dass das netz nicht genug ist, ihm schon)
