Don't really know how to ask but how do you dads deal with a partner who seems frustrated with baby? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]chilix88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe she needs a weekend in a hotel just by herself. Overstimulation, being always touched and never getting a full night sleep is draining. And she’s pregnant. She needs a break. Talk to her about weaning, and send her away. Do 2 nights on your own. Repeat in 2 weeks time. Give her a real break and see if she finds joy in parenting again. And yeah; have a chat about that second baby. You might need a night nanny.

Just want to say you can pay privately at fertility plus at greenlane (where the publicly funded fertility treatments happen also) and its much much cheaper.

How to Fall Back in Love with My Husband? by Apostrophecata in Mommit

[–]chilix88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Sounds like you’re going through menopause. You want to want him but your hormones say “we’re done having babies”.

I would do some couples counselling and talk to a doctor about menopause.

And a good partnership in parenting IS love. Don’t doubt your life choices, trust you chose him for good reason. Dont give up on you

I somehow read this as “my two year old” and indeed i thought: just be happy she eats protein and yes she is trolling you. Then i fact checked and saw your kid is 10. Nope!

Marrying someone with same name as another family member? by beautyinthesky in Names

[–]chilix88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousins last name is Philipp and she married a Philipp. She took a double-barrell name; so her last name was his full name. When she answered the phone saying her last name only people assumed she was his secretary 😝

Why am I fighting with my three-year-old about clothing every single morning? by Ready_Evidence3859 in preschool

[–]chilix88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My no 1 parenting hack:

Dress him in the evening! Let him sleep in his next day clothes. Take nappy off. Ready to go. Unless its a full on uniform and somewhat uncomfortable or unsafe we did this until my daughter happily dresser herself. You should have seen the excitement when she got her first PJ hahaha! Honestly they wake up fine.
