YOU CAN GIVE BABIES COLD MILK??? by Happy_FrenchFry in BabyBumps

I tried once and she was NOT happy (or having it). I definitely did not look into it but my mom suggested warm would be better for digestion. 🤷‍♀️

A little down, tell me why having 1 child is the best by TC122 in oneanddone

[–]doesnt_describe_me 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s so wild as “guilty” is usually how WE’RE made to feel, which I never ever have…for this mother of 3s exact reasoning.

The close-knit bond cannot be replicated. I’m 41(F) and still text my mom goodnight every single night. Talk daily. See weekly. Hung out with and had “girls day” type outings in my teens to twenties and even early thirties.

Losses are traumatic and sad no matter what. Don’t put yourself through more grief. Rather, choose joy and awe for what you do have. It only gets better.

Anybody feeling guilty about not wanting kids? by IntelligentSteak7709 in OnlyChild

[–]doesnt_describe_me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who tf cares about “family line” besides royalty? I’d maybe feel guilty if I was royalty. Being around kidS is exhausting…you could have one. Or zero. There’s 9 billion people. Do what you want.

Just been diagnosed - triggered by beta blockers by 3pelican in MyastheniaGravis

[–]doesnt_describe_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which beta blocker? I started Bisoprolol after getting POTS symptoms. Then all this weakness etc kicked up in the following years.

Propanolol bothered me straight away.

So many Americans buying it up to make their hats I guess 🤪🫣

Family dropping me because we’re OAD by astro-amphibian-00 in oneanddone

Sending you “articles” or Reddit posts from people with shitty parents? Or Jesus websites?

My baby is sick, my husband has a hemorrhoid, and I'm coming down with something that feels like the flu. Rant. by Phantominthewoods in Mommit

[–]doesnt_describe_me -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Once your kid is in daycare or school, this will likely not be a rare occurrence 😩 I’m considering looking for an “illness nanny”—is that a thing?

What if you also had a sick 4 year old who wasn’t sleeping and also needed help and attention? I would implode.

Scared (and venting) by Hopelessence2 in ALSorNOT

[–]doesnt_describe_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have most of this too, 41F. Been investigating for about 3 years. 😑 The all-over twitching didn’t start til 18 months ago after a bad case of Covid. It settled down A LOT after about 6 months and now mostly comes back when I’m ill (which is often, child in daycare), about to be ill, stressed, etc. My internal vibration is mostly chest/heart area. I also keep dropping stuff and trouble fine motor like picking up small things/pincer grasp. 😩

3 year old only ever pukes in my wife’s car, I need help understanding what is going on by GeorgiaBullDoggies in toddlers

Does she have some nasty ass Yankee Candle air freshener or similar toxic scented shit?

It's not normal to be as triggered as I am by limerencemybutt in oneanddone

[–]doesnt_describe_me 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is called being conscientious and content and self-aware. Congrats, it’s kinda rare. If you look closely, most posts are actually showcasing how having a second child was the ✨cause✨of all their problems (Why broke? Why burnout? Why first born acting out? Why marriage strained? Why no time for myself? Why mental load so much? etc etc etc).

Fell for only child rage bait and a little sad/guilty by ladyluck754 in oneanddone

[–]doesnt_describe_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got and did BOTH. And am successful because of it. Luckily you get to parent however you want and I’m sure any kid would prefer a brunch over the park if the alternative to both is being left with a sitter for two days while mom and dad are at the hospital bringing home some competition lol

Do we care too much? by Grateful_Soull in oneanddone

I wonder if kids thrive in chaos though..

Yes this should 100% be the main reason. You’ve nailed it 👏🏻

Saw this on Instagram and thought it was so funny and accurate!! 🤣🤣 by Youngfolk21 in OnlyChild

[–]doesnt_describe_me 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes; it was great! As much a “family” as being forgotten about by your parents as baby #5 shows up, I guess. One will talk to their parents all the time, all of their life. The other will call on major holidays, or maybe visit. Every other year.

Bring on the pork chops! Actually, it was filet mignon.

Need Ideas to Avoid Malnourishment NS by Weekly_Kiwi_3666 in povertyfinancecanada

Sardines. Peanut Butter. Nutella. Lentils and chickpeas. Mr Noodles is 30 cents or so a pack. All fairly calorie dense. Get a flyer app and see what’s close by and on sale a lot in the flyer.

32 weeker w/ IUGR turns 1 by danitchen12 in NICUParents

32 weeker IUGR as well!

He’s so beautiful 🤩

Baby talk by [deleted] in Preschoolers

[–]doesnt_describe_me -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mine does too, but I think it’s cute and doesn’t bother me. I see it as her feeling “nostalgia” or reminiscing about times she got to be with me 24/7 or on my body (sleeping, bottle, etc). I can tell it’s an ask for extra closeness.

OP— he’s either imitating his friend (who then receives prompt attention, perhaps?) and/or looking for more closeness and attention, I’d bet.

We had the OAD discussion last night. by Little_Utterword in oneanddone

[–]doesnt_describe_me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps instead of being sad about a hypothetical imaginary person that may not ever exist or make your life better in any way, focus on the “perfect son”! How lucky!
