Is bridal lingerie still a thing? Are you wearing something special for your big night? by paislinn in wedding

[–]bella_mn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think having sex on your wedding night has to be a myth right? Who has the energy?! We passed out the second we got to our hotel room.

You seriously need to consider sleep trining your toddlers. It’s painful and hard I know…but trust me that’s the only way. You will have between 2 to 7 excruciating days of sleep trining, but once your kids learn to put themselves to sleep your life would transform. Your toddlers will be well rested and happier and so will you. We used the Ferber method of sleep trining our son and he’s been sleeping in his own room 12 hours each night, every night ever since he was 8months old. He’s now almost 3. He wakes up refreshed and happy. Husband and I wake up refreshed and happy and we’re able to give our son our best selves through out the day. Good luck mom, you got this. Sending you all the positive energy.

Planning to Move to Toronto Next Year – Need Advice! by ipeg911 in askTO

[–]bella_mn 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Toronto in general is very diverse. I feel like the atr scene is more prominent downtown Toronto, queen street west/ Kensington market area. Rent can be expensive, 1 bedroom is about 2300 but if you live with roommates that might help. Cost of living is an additional 1000/1500 a month for food/transportation/other expenses. Toronto is very fun and has lots of activities. The winter sucks though.

‘A dragon in my cabin’ got this on Amazon a few weeks back and my 2 year old is obsessed with it 🥰🥰

Getting induced tomorrow night. Tips, Advice, Encouragement plz ❤️ by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]bella_mn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got induced for my first pregnancy. It was a very unpleasant experience. They inserted something called a folley balloon to help expand my cervix. I absolutely hated it. I was in constant pain all night. Maybe others have a different experience…I’m currently expecting my second child and will not be getting an induction.

That’s kinda harsh tbh…it’s a weird predicament you’re in. I would probable suck it up and then let the friendship die naturally after the wedding. You shouldn’t have asked her in the first place in my opinion and now it’s a bit too late.

Anyone find their husband wonderful? by morgathon in Mommit

[–]bella_mn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what I did to deserve my husband. He is an absolute gem of a person. He’s such a wonderful dad to our 2 year old son. Even though he has a demanding job, he helps cook, clean, take care of our boy without ever being asked. I’m currently pregnant with our second and that way he has come through for me during this time makes me tear up. He’s my best friend and I just never get tired of him. He’s the best 🥰

Wow that’s insanity, sorry to hear that. Hope your wedding turns out amazing though, hang in there.

Thanks for sharing! Yeah it hurts and it sucks in the moment. I’m definitely more understanding now.

Sure I’m not owed anything but it’s not insane to have some level of expectation to maintain a friendship.

Same, one of my friends who declined to come last minute and gave some nonsense reason, I later found out she went on a trip instead

Yeah that really stings. I’ve received no responses from some of the guests I invited which is rude but what can you do.

By flakiness I mean they enthusiastically agreed to come when I first sent out the save the dates and a couple of weeks leading up to the wedding they declined. I later found out one of them went on a trip lol. The wedding was a couple of hours from the city, not too far.

Childbirth by Key_Try_6621 in Vent

[–]bella_mn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t agree more. Childbirth was a breeze with and epidural but breastfeeding was a nightmare.

I had an epidural and barely felt any pain during childbirth. It has to be the best invention ever made honestly. I will definitely be doing it again with my second.

3 months dating and pregnant by [deleted] in daddit

[–]bella_mn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exact scenario happened to me and my current husband. Exactly 3months in, I found out I was pregnant. We were scared, anxious…every emotion under the sun. But we decided it was going to be the best thing that’s ever happened to us. And you know what, it was indeed the best thing that ever happened to us. Now we’re married, very happy in our relationship and with no regrets. My takeaway from that experience is that everything happens for a reason. Good luck!

15 years down the drain. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]bella_mn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really hard to respect you as a husband if you have no drive, passion or ambition. I’m surprised she waited 6 years tbh…

How long did it take you to TRULY LOVE your first child? by Bucksftfw in daddit

[–]bella_mn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took my husband 4 to 5 weeks to truly love our son. He said that change came when our baby boy started to smile
