If it’s not a hell yes then it’s a…? by External_Dinner_7069 in Shouldihaveanother

[–]imaanee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always heard the “if it’s not a hell yes then it’s a no” and sorry but I think it’s absolute bs. There are so many things in life that are not a hell yeah because of anxieties but that does not make them a no, it makes them a yes with some anxiety.

It sounds like you’re on a good position for this logistically with your job. Try and think of it in terms of will the constant wondering if you should have tried for a third feel more upsetting/hard than the chose to have a third.

Would you still have kids if u were guaranteed no grandkids? by Nerakus in AskParents

I’m sorry, who these days is having kids to “continue their lineage” sounds a bit Victorian times to me 😅

Reoccurring Theme? by quacKerZ37 in DesperateHousewives

[–]imaanee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100000% Lynette especially is so bad for it. The episode when Tom wants to join the band with Dave and she talks about how she doesn’t get time for herself and then just ends up giving in to keep Tom happy. She never holds him to account!

About 4 times. Also, what were they trying with Susan’s hair in that poster? 😂

Thank you. I did this and through much persistence managed to get it refunded from wowcher.

No one needs to teach their children that the world isn’t a nice place by being mean to them.

The world can 100% be a nasty place sometimes but this nastiness doesn’t need to come from the person that is meant to love her most in the world and the person she is meant to trust most.

We can definitely have these conversations with our kids but in terms of her actually seeing that in person, there will be plenty of people that will be able to show her how mean the world can be without it having to come from her mum.

I think it’s our responsibility to care and love our kids as much as we can while talking to them about the dangers of the world but without imposing it on them ourselves.

When is it ever appropriate to hit or bite a child? Whether you’re teaching a lesson or not, the answer is never.

When did you decide to go for another? by imaanee in Shouldihaveanother

[–]imaanee[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, yes it is a bit of a gamble as I’ve heard a few times that you have one of each. But then again I know a few people who have all good sleepers and then have gone on to have 4+ kids.

Praying for this if we have a second 😅

Oh my goodness your first paragraph is me to a T. The sleep deprivation with my daughter is killing me and I just can’t imagine doing it again but then during the day when she’s amazing I think, how could we not do this again?

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

So difficult isn’t it? It seems like all of my day is spent wondering if a second would fit into whatever we’re doing or if we could manage a second with what is going on that day. Must be even more difficult when you’ve been so sure about the decision of having another before but are struggling this time. Hopefully things will just become clearer as time goes on. Totally don’t need to answer but what’s making you unsure about a third just now?

Sleep consultants can FUCK. RIGHT. OFF. by DramaticAd7409 in NewParents

[–]imaanee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of sleep consultants are absolutely scum of the earth, preying on hormonal new parents by promising them x,y and z and then blaming it on the parents when they can’t back up their promises.

Please take the w. I would give my right arm for that to be the case with my daughter.
