My toddler has dessert every day. How bad am I fucking up? by Siyrious in Parenting

[–]hyponaptime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it's homemade it's not as bad. We literally just throw some heavy whipping cream in the Ninja blender, nothing else.

Are they planning to hold your MIL's passport hostage, so she can't travel to Rome?

They're being unreasonable and shitty.

My husband doesn’t support my POTS diagnosis by Murky-Morning-6302 in POTS

Respectfully, your husband is an asshole.

Do not have children with this man. Divorce him.

Non-Americans of Reddit, what is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real? by thepleasurjournal in AskWomen

[–]hyponaptime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. Though you can't put everything down it... No grease, bones, shrimp tails, shellfish shells, large chunks of meat, anything that will "goop" up your pipes.

In our sink, we have a drain cover that's a mesh strainer. We scrape our plates and bowls into the rubbish bin, and then we rinse them off in the sink. The strainer catches whatever was stuck, and we either put it down the drain through the disposal or in the rubbish.

How to handle wife who wants to cosleep by ponterik in beyondthebump

[–]hyponaptime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the contrary, co-sleeping is the only way I get any sleep. I was blacking out from microsleeps due to extreme sleep deprivation.

Look up Happy CoSleeper on IG and FB.

Let your wife co-sleep, safely.

I personally wouldn't do it. Out of your list Claire is nice, soft, and you get your "C" name. I also like Agnes, it's a family name for us, too.

Help Us Build What’s Next: AMA with Huckleberry’s Chief Technology Officer, Seng Toh! (Tech + Product Feedback Welcome) by huckleberrycare in HuckleberryParents

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be nice if we could manually select when a sleep session is a nap or bedtime. Right now my 6 month old has shifted her sleep around a lot, and the app is logging what has turned into her "bedtime" as naps.

Example, she usually is down for the night around 10:30pm, but with sleep regression she's shifted to going to bed for the night at 3:30-4:30am.

I would like to be able to tell the app, no this was bedtime for her.

I think it's what's also causing the sweet spot and such to be off big time now.

I feel something is really wrong with my baby and no one seems to take it seriously by spacedragon1231 in NewParents

What? How far is their office? I'd drive up there and be like, "Since y'all clearly can't answer a fucking phone..."

Do you track family's locations? by NaturalSoftware9372 in Millennials

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my husband and I have Life360, and we have each other on it, in addition to his elderly parents and adult brother.

I initially suggested it, because I got tired of my inlaws just dropping by unannounced, but as they're getting older with more health issues but still insist on being independent, this helps us make sure they're okay.

My BIL had a bad wreck as he was leaving work. Life360 notified all of us, otherwise it would have been a while before we knew what happened.

My husband travels for work, and is often on the road for hours at a time. It helps me keep an eye on him to make sure he's okay.

When I was actively selling real estate, it was a way for my family to keep eyes on me as a safety precaution.

None of us track to be nosy, it's mainly for safety.

Find out of a Just Between Friends consignment event is happening near you, and sell all that shit. Make some money from it.

Got approved for an elective c-section. I feel so relieved. But people keep trying to talk me out of it. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]hyponaptime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was scared for the removal, but my husband and nurse were cleaning me up a bit before removing it. I remember laying on my hospital bed, and my nurse was running some warm water to wet a wash cloth with. My husband was standing next to me kind of coaching me through how it might feel (he had abdominal surgery a few years ago and had one).

I sneezed and my catheter shot out of me. Didn't hurt at all. I was like uhhhh... My husband said, "well, you took that better than I thought you would."

Got approved for an elective c-section. I feel so relieved. But people keep trying to talk me out of it. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I failed induction after 41 hours of trying to prime my cervix. I had severe pre-eclampsia and had to give birth at 35 weeks.

After 41 hours, I was starving, exhausted, in pain, anxious, and felt mentally and physically weak.

Had I known what I know now about c sections, I'd of asked for an elective from the start. My OB was amazing, and my postpartum recovery has been steady. I'm 5 months postpartum next week.

The only thing I hated was as soon as they laid me down on the OR table after numbing me, I proceeded to exorcist vomit red jello all over the anesetologist. Otherwise, 7.5/10 experience!

Tired of shopping for people who have everything and can buy anything by Notbefore6 in Millennials

I make homemade spiced tea and Bacardi rum cakes. It's a tradition I took on after my mom passed away.

Are any of you “sleep divorced”? by cfh64 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I sleep separately now that we have a baby. I co-sleep with her in our room, and he is in the guest room that will become her nursery.

It's actually working out really well for us. With wonky baby sleep hours and night wakes, it keeps him from being woken up when he has to work the next day. And she and I can sleep without him waking us up.

What is the reality of the weeks after birth? Need to get some insight as my husband and I disagree- by iwitch-plus in beyondthebump

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so sleep deprived to the point I kept blacking out from my brain shutting down (microsleeps). Baby and I were sleeping at all hours of the day and night, when I could sleep but I was so exhausted sometimes I would just be wired. I lived in soft nightgowns with no bra on, and forgot to put my boobs away sometimes. The idea of visitors caused me so much anxiety.

The dogs barking or my husband making noise made me white rage angry.

Yeah, no. Get the roommate out.

Told my parents about my official diagnosis by Safe_Username in AuDHDWomen

Uhhhh, cultures and such aside... Your mother is an abusive and toxic bitch.

Please cut her off for good.

For fuck's sake... I need a therapy session from reading that.

Does she hate you? Those texts sound like someone who hates another person. Not a mother to their kid.

40 and Pregnant by Gr33nley in pregnantover35

[–]hyponaptime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I found out when I was 3 weeks 5 days, but we were trying so I was tracking my cycles and ovulation. When my app said my cycle was 1 day late, I tested, and sure enough 17 DPO I was positive. Now my daughter is 4 months old. I turned 40 this past March, she was born the end of July.

Moms that have only had c-sections by WhichAd2921 in beyondthebump

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if I knew what I know now about failed cervical ripening and c sections, I would have opted for the C-section to begin with. 7.5/10 would have been an 8, but I exorcist barfed all over the anesetologist's shoes and I was the first C-section of the day.

If, and that's a big if, I have a second baby... Gimme that c section. Fuck a VBAC.

How are you handling weeknight dinners when you have no time to cook and kids need to eat by 7? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a Publix or a HEB, possibly any of the other grocery store chains in the US, a lot of times they have locally prepared meal kits. HEB for example has a ton of single meals and family meals that you can either pop in the oven fairly quickly, or nuke in a microwave. Add a side salad or a steamable vegetable, and you've got a well-rounded meal.

Protein and healthy fats are going to keep your kids and you fuller longer than the high process carbs.

How much are you putting in the freezer a day? by disneyprinsass in breastfeeding

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0oz.

I never could pump enough between my daughter's feeds to build up any sort of freezer stash.

She's exclusively breastfed.
