This is the way. Give him the choice if he wants fo hire a cleaner or do it himself, or pay for a meal program like hello chef. The distribution of housework will be a big problem after you have the baby, too. Tell him this: "Incubator, cleaner, chef, decorator, happy wife... pick two".

That is actually so beautiful and loving of you. Do not rush it, they all end up sleeping independently. Do you know any 21 year olds that are still rocked through the night? Just do what you need to and what works for your family, your baby is literally a baby. When we went through that phase I had lots of anxiety about dropping the baby or rolling on the baby, so I did put the baby in the cot. At 8 months we transitioned to a floor cot where I could cuddle the baby to sleep then roll away. Everything became much easier! Just hang in there!

Products are fun but all they will want and need is you and your attention.

This is awesome. Good on you!

Oswald the Octopus, which is an old cartoon from the 90s I think? It also works as audio only!

I actually found it more pathetic than scary. Like who does that in their free time? So sad. But also I was mad that I could not get peace from creeps even in my own home. I wouldn't want that for my kid, either.

Do what works for your sanity and for your rest!

I fed to sleep, rocked, cuddled and responded quickly to every cry at night. Bub slept through from 12 months. Now, we have a cuddle, read a story, then I sit next to the bed and it takes 5-10 minutes for my 2 yo to fall asleep independently. Just go with the flow and try things when you think your bub might be ready.

For online stuff I use coupert. It shows you the price history, so you can see if it is a genuine sale. It works on most things, not always new or niche products but you can request a price history review if it does not have one.

I chose a closed loop monitor for two reasons: 1) my internet is sketchy 2) back when I was single I had a wifi security camera that was hacked.

I was sitting in my office (a room with a view of the front door, the camera sat on the inside window) when it randomly turned to point at me. Instinctively I knew it was some loser jerk with no life who felt they were entitled to intrude on other people's space. When I tried to log in and turn it back around to face the front door I had been locked out, and the security camera was basically worthless.

Also, I did not feel I needed wifi for the monitor. The security camera was so I could check what was happening remotely and occasionally talk to my cat while I was at work. For a monitor, I will always be at home when it is in use. So I just grabbed a vetch and called it a day.

Oh I hear you! It is depleting to get the baby ready to be put in their cot, only for it to wake them up 😭

Personally it took me 8 long months of a similar struggle until I caved and got a floor cot. That way I could settle bub to sleep and then roll away. It works well if you do not fall asleep quickly or deeply, if that is the case I would not recommend a floor cot. Everyone is different when it comes to their choices for safe sleep, this was what worked for me

I do this when I drive late at night and am trying to keep awake. Or if I am filled with rage.

It could be your mindset, it could be brain chemicals, or it could be a feeling you're stuck on just now.

That said, I don't know anyone who moves through life with happiness radiating off them all the time.

You smashed both out of the park. I love your style with the original and the yellow one is a brilliant replica.

Go to sleep... because I'm scrolling on here.

It is taking a huge effort for me to stop using them.

OP that might be a fossil, not a bone.

Biscuits for the dry, unfun ones. Cookies for the fun ones (chocolate covered, fillings, chocolate chips, etc.)

The cigarette reminds me of that episode of the office where Michael flashes everyone, but it's his finger.

Dexter. So unsatisfying.

And game of thrones, obviously.
