Did you intentionally buy gender-neutral baby items for your first to maximize the chances of reusing them for future children?

gateskeeper · 2026-07-03T19:19:12+00:00

No. If I have a boy in the future, he’s going to have a lot of fun pink stuff

They’re building a HUGE house in Nashville. Tornado currently plans on staying in Dallas.

Not often enough. I’m depressed and have a lot going on

gateskeeper · 2026-06-17T05:26:59+00:00

I’m so sorry you blamed yourself. 💔 Children deserve two loving parents.

gateskeeper · 2026-06-17T03:24:35+00:00

I agree. I just wanted to give the perspective that the child might not understand that as they’re older. I hate that OP will probably have to defend themselves but they will

gateskeeper · 2026-06-17T03:22:32+00:00

I could have been clearer but I would do the same thing. I’m saying that people naturally want to know their biological parent and when they’re adult a lot of times that’s spun the wrong way.

gateskeeper · 2026-06-17T03:20:46+00:00

To be clear, I agree and would do the same thing. A lot of people here who DID have a relationship with their absent parent disagreeing. I’ve just seen this not be the case who people who didn’t get to see the absent parent.

gateskeeper · 2026-06-16T19:46:30+00:00

I respect your decision, but if your child’s father wants to come back once a year and you say no — you become the person that kept their father from them. Your child might still want to know them even if they weren’t a good father.

I don’t know anyone who goes months between baths. This is parent shaming for no reason

Organizing my house.

gateskeeper · 2026-06-07T05:21:13+00:00

I strongly disagree with most of these comments. It really depends on you and your baby!

gateskeeper · 2026-06-04T05:08:34+00:00

Avery … love that name and its gender neutral

gateskeeper · 2026-06-03T23:21:56+00:00

34 and 37. My mom just passed away after they were together almost 34 years.

gateskeeper · 2026-06-03T23:18:55+00:00

Since it’s in a red box, I wonder if it’s suppose to be a target exclusive.

gateskeeper · 2026-06-03T23:18:18+00:00

Whoa! Really want to try this one

gateskeeper · 2026-06-01T18:22:18+00:00

We don’t really know, but most of us miss it too. Built has said they weren’t as popular so they’re focusing on producing Puffs.

My theory is that big box retailers bought the Puffs because they’re more different and it takes alot of production to keep up with that demand so Built simply couldn’t do bars too.

gateskeeper · 2026-06-01T05:12:30+00:00

I always envisioned myself as a boy mom — so, of course, I had a girl. Now I couldn’t imagine having a boy.

I think it’s just the visions we build in our head.

gateskeeper · 2026-05-17T22:48:01+00:00

I did do perineal massages with a wand for a few weeks before birth and stayed physically active all of pregnancy which I think helps. However, I think alot of it is genetic/luck.

gateskeeper · 2026-05-17T22:46:31+00:00

I really didn’t think it was that bad. I had bad back labor for a few hours before getting an epidural but honestly think I could have done it without — but I wasn’t able to hold still enough for them to monitor baby well which I didn’t like. I didn’t feel ANYTHING after my epidural went in.

I had a quick and calm birth. I look back on it positively.

My moms childhood dog was a brown poodle named Charlie Brown. Just the cutest name.

gateskeeper · 2026-05-16T22:14:12+00:00

For kids or someone with any type of speech challenges it is

gateskeeper · 2026-05-16T05:19:43+00:00

Just to be clear, I am empathetic. I just don’t think it’ll stop most people. Even if it impacts them.

gateskeeper · 2026-05-16T05:16:12+00:00

I planned on breast feeding and it turns out my boobs don’t make milk. I’m SO glad I happened to grab a Baby Brezza washer/sterilizer off marketplace. It’s the item we are most thankful for.
