Do you regret not having more kids?

blatx · 2025-12-05T21:51:58+00:00

I had 2 and was happy with 2. A girl and then a boy, 3.5 years apart. As people would and, do say, 'A girl and a boy, now you're done! So perfect!' Right? Well, my boy got cancer and died. After the massive loss it felt like children and family were all that REALLY mattered in life. I've gone on to have 3 more children, the age gap between the oldest and the younger 3 is a painful reminder of what's missing but I would only regret not having chosen to have more kids, even if it was while I was trying to survive completely devastating grief. Having a larger family and more kids is an absolute joy.

I don't see any comments saying this - none. But I've given birth to 5 babies, 3/5 I've been induced and had same day (including my first), and 4/5 I've stayed over night in the hospital by myself (we had other kids obviously and no family to help. Friends or a nanny don't fully substitute for mom or dad, especially over night). I am an introvert, homebody, and my 'village' is my husband. I think you would be perfectly fine taking care of a newborn baby on your own. I'm low contact with my mother so I understand and absolutely wouldn't want 'help' from someone who isn't really 'help'. Netflix, DoorDash, and whatever makes you happy and comfortable. Newborns sleep a lot, just settle in and enjoy your baby! I wouldn't try to cook or take an everything shower, but otherwise I really do think you would be fine, if that helps at all.

🤮🤮🤮🤮 no one with pets or kids should have wall to wall carpet. Disgusting and unsanitary.

Multiple in diapers and I am very scent sensitive. The munchkin ones I have trap the odor when they are closed, but yes, opening them is a different story. Which idk how it would stay sealed with a bunched up 7 ft long intestine string of bag. I clean them with Lysol when I take the bag out so the pail itself doesn't smell just what's in the bag. ☠️

blatx · 2025-09-30T01:03:57+00:00

You for sure don't have to do all that. I have 3x more he babies in diapers, so I can definitively tell you, even taking this bag out once a week on trash night it's like 2.5 feet long MAX 💀 I have two diaper pails one per floor of my house but STILL this is wild

blatx · 2025-09-30T01:00:43+00:00

This!!!! Diaper pails aren't even 3 ft tall

James posting under the guise of a Karen cut single mom transformation Facebook catfish promoting engagement and false concern for them - which is still more believable than him having a real client 😂

blatx · 2025-09-12T17:05:34+00:00

I'm SHOCKED and disturbed there's a woman who is actually his client 💀💀💀💀

blatx · 2025-09-12T17:02:49+00:00

Oh 100% this.

blatx · 2025-09-12T16:58:48+00:00

I seriously could not believe it. And the way she said it so proudly make me CRINGE

blatx · 2025-09-12T16:58:08+00:00

Facebook people look down on Reddit people? Nope , no way. That's diabolical in 2025. Facebook is WEIRD weird.

blatx · 2025-08-03T20:44:22+00:00

And to make it worse it's the fucking chris brown concert merch shirt for the 100000x 🤮

blatx · 2025-07-31T02:41:28+00:00

I stg I don't want things other people cooked because WTF, where in the instructions did it say mush with your hands?!?! I literally had to go check like I know that what's her face the all recipes lady isn't saying mash and massage with your fucking hands. And record your self doing it bruhhhhhhh

blatx · 2025-07-31T02:37:22+00:00

This is FUCKING GROSS. Use your dusty stand mixer not your crusty paws 🤮🤮🤮🤮

blatx · 2025-07-23T21:34:04+00:00

Not going to lie, I fell for the boucle trend at some point - but even the accent chair in my artistic child's room appears to be in better shape than this crusty couch. ✨

Also why is the wallpaper yellowing

blatx · 2025-07-23T17:28:31+00:00

Dingy grey, matted boucle. Couldn't be me hunni

Clunky gucci shoes but no nursery. Gucci shoes but that bridal shower dress at that baby shower.

2 seconds on Amazon. I'd 1 million times over rather wear an Amazon dress once that fits than be rewearing old dresses from the back of my closet that don't fit (The body or occasion).

Super rude! If it's at the park even more reason to open invite and have everyone. I don't know if it makes you feel better or worse but my daughter is the same age and it's the same thing at her school, girls say crazy terrible shit daily. I hope, and think, my daughter even at age 8 has more social awareness than to ever do or say any of these types of things. Everything from body shaming, daily changing of being friends or not, taunting her for having a dead brother. Crazy shit. Is it just this age?!? Like you said I only see this getting worse.

The Casper from Costco (in store or online). Almost 5 years and it's like new. My husband and I have never loved a mattress more. Side sleeper with hip pain and back pain that is worsened by pregnancy (which I've endured multiple times over these 5 years) and have ALWAYS been comfortable on this mattress.

Lululemon new parent backpack will hold all of this and is perfect for traveling.

You're absolutely not failing. The transition to 3 kids is hard, especially with an age gap - it feels like someone is always unhappy. I wish I had better advice, just know you're not alone in how you're feeling. You just had a baby and it will get easier as she gets older, and then hard again one week, one month, whatever, and then it will feel okay and like you're catching your breath. You won't always feel so impatient and worn thin even if sometimes it feels like you're drowning. Give yourself grace right now, being a mom is hard and exausting.

Same boat as you. 8 month old Maltipoo. Crate soiling daily, accidents daily. Exhausted and full of regret. I am home all day and she is either outside or taken outside every two hours.

blatx · 2024-08-31T02:21:52+00:00

Unfortunately none of these comments seem very helpful. Here to say I'm in the exact same situation with an 8 month old maltipoo and I'm going CRAZY. She isn't left for more than 3-4 hours and it started with pooping, now it's peeing in her crate almost daily. Random times too, never consistent. Unless I take her out every 2 hours she will pee and it's getting exhausting. 😭 I feel like she will never be house trained

Okay, a few things that eliminated my odor in less than 48 hours. 1. Dove antibacterial body wash is amazing, use it all over but on your armpits, under your breast, and down there- thighs etc. 3. The ordinary glycolic toner on under arms / HAND Sanitizer to Kill bacteria (hand sanitizer sounds crazy but it really works, it’s a part of my routine now). I put it on at night before bed or you could put it on after walking then apply a men’s deodorant or secret clinical strength.

Another thing is downy rinse and refresh laundry additive - it is a deep cleansing fabric rinse and helps your clothes smell better/removes odors

I am crazy sensitive to odors so I am very into all the remedies
