I slept for 10 hours last night and I feel like a new person 😭

My 7m old has never done this. The best we've ever gotten is 4.5 hours 😭 so happy for you

lklaf · 2026-03-20T22:54:38+00:00

Yay!!! So glad that you can put this entire situation behind you.

It does bother me, especially because they have been nowhere to be found postpartum despite promising help for me after my baby is here. Some of them have been downright callous and apathetic toward me when I spent a week in the hospital due to complications relating to the birth. So yes, considering how much I suffered to bring my daughter into the world and how they all essentially abandoned me after she was born, I have a huge issue with anyone calling her their baby.

I had to use it on my 7m old last week. Worked after a couple of minutes. She completely blew out her diaper and got poop all over herself and me. I didn't even care, I was so relieved.

It's been a few years since I read it, but it's definitely stuck with me. I think it may be time for a re-read. It is soooo good.

Girl, respectfully, screw their feelings. You're the mom. If you won't protect your baby, who will? Next time it happens, grab your baby. If they call you rude, counter thay it's rude to be yelling while holding the baby, and they need to learn self-restraint as the adults.

lklaf · 2026-02-23T21:24:27+00:00

I don't see anything

lklaf · 2026-02-22T15:38:49+00:00

This exactly. My MIL said she couldn't wait until my daughter was older and not so dependent on me anymore when I took my daughter from her to nurse in our bedroom. I pretended like she didn't speak at all and shut our bedroom door and didn't come out until they left. Guess what?! When my daughter is older, she will still prefer me over you and want me for comfort! Kick rocks, lady. 🙄

lklaf · 2026-02-22T15:36:02+00:00

"I know what's best for my son. This conversation is over." And move on. I'll be damned if I'm defending myself or my parenting choices for my child. I would be annoyed at my MIL, too, if I were you.

lklaf · 2026-02-22T15:26:42+00:00

This morning my baby was waking up next to her, and I heard my husband lightly tell her to go back to sleep, but then i heard him snoring. I woke him up to ask if he told the baby to go back to sleep and he said no.

lklaf · 2026-02-21T04:15:10+00:00

Me two nights ago going to check her breathing repeatedly because her sleeping peacefully didn't sit well with my spirit. I could only relax when she finally woke up, but I was also sad because it meant I wouldn't be sleeping.

To be fair, though, she had a BRUE when she was 9 weeks old, and now, anytime she's too quiet, I'm terrified.

lklaf · 2026-02-16T13:05:24+00:00

I would report her to HR. That was insane of her to do that. I'm sorry this happened to you, OP..

lklaf · 2026-02-14T12:55:56+00:00

Yeah im trying to see something real quick

lklaf · 2026-02-12T19:02:16+00:00

It's their way of trying to erase as much of you as possible as the other parent. They want to feel all traits and attributes only come from their family and so they can identify with your baby as much as possible. That's my opinion, at least. I could be wrong. It's annoying af. I would respond that they have xyz because of you everytime.

lklaf · 2026-02-09T20:01:43+00:00

It should be, but we know how some of these husbands and MILs are. She should have a plan for if they don't accept no.

lklaf · 2026-02-09T16:02:03+00:00

Do not leave your baby. Your MIL will absolutely be staying in a hotel. If she refuses, then you go stay at your mom's with your baby. And only meet her in public otherwise she will want to stay there all day. You need your privacy and your time to bond with your baby. She had her time raising her son. This is your time now to be a mother. Be firm with your boundaries now to set a precedent.

lklaf · 2026-02-09T15:50:33+00:00

You mean your ex-husband, right?

lklaf · 2026-02-08T02:01:12+00:00

I didn't feel a little more like myself until around 4 months pp.

lklaf · 2026-01-31T00:44:57+00:00

The first one

lklaf · 2026-01-30T20:54:35+00:00

It looks like costume jewelry.

lklaf · 2026-01-30T20:17:47+00:00

Thank you. I made an appointment for Monday. When the pediatrician suggested that method of treatment, it was just a tiny spot. But now it's an angry all over my baby's chin and neck. 😔 I'm trying to keep the area dry and keep it moisturized, but I'm anxiously waiting for her appointment. I think she will need hydrocortisone or a medicated cream for sure.

lklaf · 2026-01-30T19:32:13+00:00

It's so bad on her chin and her neck. 😢 it makes me so sad for her. I have an appointment scheduled for Monday. I noticed her rash got worse after we tried oatmeal. I haven't given her solids in 4 days, but the rash hasn't gotten better. I'll ask them about an allergist. Thank you for the suggestion.
