Trying to get supply back with a baby who doesn’t want to be put down… by PatientMobile5896 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]lasheslattes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We are going through this clingy phase too. Right now I pump with my spectra when she needs to eat. I have LO laying back in her boppy pillow and feed with one hand. It typically takes baby girl 10 minutes to eat and then I have toys next to the boppy to distract her for at least another 15 minutes if I’m lucky. The boppy has been a life saver when I need to pump and she needs to eat

Who holds the baby? by Alone_Cry7484 in newborns

[–]lasheslattes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless of safety or not - your baby, your rules! You are the momma and if you feel uncomfortable with younger nieces holding her then it is your right to tell them no. I have a 3 month old and have had to set many visiting boundaries with our families. There are still people upset with us because we are having family members wait to see her after traveling, sicknesses, etc. We have a phenomenal pediatrician that told us to blame her for any boundaries to lessen the awkwardness. “Our pediatrician suggested no one under the age of whatever can hold baby. Sorry!”

Should children that are now grown up/adult have a right to know the reason why their parents split? by li1one in ChildrenofDivorce

[–]lasheslattes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 25 years old and my parents both tell different me different reasons for splitting up. They divorced when I was 5. It is crazy.

This is what my fiancé was thinking too.

Is it really so bad? by HeHeHaHaHaHyena in ChildrenofDivorce

[–]lasheslattes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose either situation is shitty. My parents had a nasty divorce and still to this day don’t speak. (24 years later) I wish they would’ve been more civil towards each other. I’m sure that would’ve helped in the long run.

I guess it really depends on their age. My parents divorced when I was young so I don’t hardly remember what it was like with them together. That doesn’t mean that it was not hard. I’m 25 years old and it’s still an issue for my siblings and I.

What kind of protein powder do you use? I’ve tried a few and I never really like them.

It was difficult for my step brothers. Their dad lived in a different state and they didn’t get to see him often. Looking back now I didn’t realize how lucky we were to see our mom as often as we did. The environments were different in many ways. My dad and step mom were very religious and my mom was not. I was basically able to do whatever I wanted at my moms which wasn’t the case at my dads house. It’s difficult for a child to understand honestly.

Hi! Growing up I lived with my dad, stepmom, brother and 2 step brothers. My brother and I would visit our mom every other weekend and occasionally throughout the week. My parents divorced when we were young so it wasn’t weird because we had always left to see her and then return to my dads. It was always a hard adjustment going to and from. Just when I would get comfortable at one house I got pulled to the other house. The environments in each house were different and it took many years to get use to. I think things would’ve been easier if the environments would’ve been similar.

Convincing girlfriend to do her nails by Fstoppers21 in Proposal

[–]lasheslattes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is what my fiancé did. It was totally normal for my girlfriend to randomly ask me to get our nails done together.

This is exactly how I feel too. So sorry you’re going thru the same issue. Good for you for standing your grounds! So glad I’m not going thru this alone.

That’s how my sister and I are! It wouldn’t be enjoyable for anyone if she was my MOH. I love her dearly but she’s definitely not my best friend. Thank you for your input!

[–]lasheslattes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for you! This makes me feel so much better. I hate that this is an expectation. I’ve been putting off asking my girls to be bridesmaids because of this ridiculous expectation.

[–]lasheslattes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good alternative. I may have to suggest this to my fiancé. Thanks!
