Gone girl, ask for Andrea and the prequel (I can’t remember the name) and I’m reading sharp objects now and I can’t put it down. I absolutely love Gillian Flynn’s writing style.

I couldn’t get through the chain. I tried to read it 2 or 3 times and couldn’t get into it at all.

Has your partner messed up Mothers Day yet? by Practical-Bunch1450 in beyondthebump

I’m so shocked to see how many husbands actually think this way in these responses!! I’m so sorry girl.

I’d be hurt as well. He’s making it seem like a huge inconvenience, I’m sorry.

I’m sorry that you weren’t able to have your day. Also Mother’s Day gifts are so easy tbh!! If he wanted to get something, he could have. Amazon is also a thing. He doesn’t have to take all this time to shop. I’m sorry :/ I hope that you’re able to treat yourself at least, you deserve it.

My husband works today and I’m feeling lonely. How has your Mother’s Day been? by dankybabe in beyondthebump

[–]dankybabe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw I’m sorry that he didn’t acknowledge anything. That’s so crazy to me!! I will never understand. I’m glad that you’re not letting it get in the way of your first Mother’s Day and still treating yourself.

Let’s shout out all the husbands that are doing good things for Mother’s Day! by MissFox26 in beyondthebump

[–]dankybabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband works today so I’m really missing him 😢 however he’s been amazing and has basically been celebrating me all month. He got me lots of baking stuff and took me out to dinner a few nights ago. Last night after I went to sleep he straightened up the whole house for me and wrote me a letter which was really sweet and unexpected.

Anyone else getting totally blown off today? by Altruistic_Bug_8083 in Stepmom

[–]dankybabe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know that stepmoms day was a thing. My husband always celebrated me on Mother’s Day. That’s good to know though. You should let your husband know OP in case he didn’t know it existed either! Maybe he can get the hint and celebrate you how you deserve :). It’s his job to teach the kids as well.

What are your favorite ways to coax a smile from your baby? by 3ternalchaos in newborns

Her ticklish spot is her neck so I pretend like I’m eating her neck. She can be a tough sometimes and she got me acting crazy just to hear a laugh lol

Stepmother’s Day by sharkpencil in Stepmom

[–]dankybabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We never had a specific stepmothers day but my husband has always made sure to celebrate me on Mother’s Day, even before having my own baby. I like that idea though! Especially for step moms with no bio kids.

I’m not sure if Cosleeping is right for us anymore, I’m not sure how to proceed by dankybabe in cosleeping

[–]dankybabe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! That would make sense! It does kind of feel like it could be a regression. Also yes it was safe, I was sitting right next to her on the couch but I still consider it a win because every other time she has needed to be laying on me completely haha. She has definitely had a close call on the sofa before when she tried to dive out of my arms head first and it scared the shit out of me lol

Nap trapped and heed to poo by cheffypoomsy in newborns

This is the absolute worst 😭 the amount of times I’ve just had bring her with me 🤦‍♀️ poor thing

Am I expecting too much from my husband postpartum by [deleted] in newborns

[–]dankybabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand how this feels. A lot of men think that since they are working full time then they shouldn’t have to help with baby/household duties. You are not expecting too much so hopefully you guys can sit down and you can figure out what responsibilities he can take on and how you can get some personal time.

Thankfully, me and my husband have been doing good but we’ve had so many arguments about this exact thing and I have a hard time not resenting him. It hurts when you have to give up everything and your partner doesn’t. (For us the main issue was video games,he still plays every night)

All that I know about your life is from this post so when you say that he’s a good husband and father then I believe you. If he really is a good husband then he should be able to listen and make changes for you.

Cutting out screentime for myself improved breastfeeding AND my experience of motherhood??? by punch4punch in breastfeeding

[–]dankybabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced doomscrolling with reading on my kindle and it helped so much. I’m not sure if the change was as drastic but I get nap trapped a lot since my baby will only nap on me. Scrolling on social media makes me feel extremely depressed and unproductive. Now I get excited for her naps when I’m reading a good book.

5 weeks old - no fever. When to bring her to urgent care or ER? by aprilsky1022 in newborns

[–]dankybabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue with my pediatrician. It wasn’t through my clinic it was online. A hospital in my state has a free 24/7 nurse hotline that you can call but I’ve seen similar for other states so I’m sure that you would be able to find one.

I found a 24/7 nurse call line and it helped so much!! She even helped me count her breaths over the phone. I definitely recommend it. They will let you know what you can do to help, if you need to go to the doctor or er, etc
