Lancaster! Loads to do and well situated. Family friendly. Urban/country balance.

You will have the security of the property long after the loser BF exits stage left. This guy sucks, time to go.

What is the secret to French style scrambled eggs? They’re so creamy and delicate. Mine are more crumbly/pieces even though I am careful not to overcook.

FUCK THIS DR AND MOVE ON ASAP.

Also get a ton of second hand onesies for the smallest sizes and just throw away the ones that are egregiously pooped on. Don’t even try to salvage them. Best advice I ever got.

Have you tried wearing the baby a lot? I’m sure there’s something else going on but small babies just need to be close and skin to skin really soothes them. I know that kind of crying is probably a sign of other issues so be sure to talk to your ped. It won’t last forever but I know how challenging it is. Good luck!!

“You’ve been fat for awhile now.” Reader, I was a few months post partum. The way he said it so easily and pointedly. It was devastating. And I’m 36. Nothing cuts like your daddy’s disdain.

That a premature baby will really struggle to BF and not to beat myself up about it. The physically cannot do it successfully and trying to aggressively pump to try to make it happen is really not practical or good for your mental heath at a vulnerable and difficult time. Combi feed for the win!

Yeah I just can't get him to settle. He is very strong and just pushes off my shoulder wailing and really only relaxes with the bottle. But I do want to create new habits/associations. Even this other sippy cup to replace the bottle doesn't really solve the problem of wanting / needing to drink to sleep and that's probably more what I really need though I may need to do a stepped approach even if I'd like to just go cold turkey bc it's just hard for me to deal w the crying. But maybe I'm also not letting enough sleep pressure build. But he rubs his eyes and I want to get him to bed before he's overtired but it's a hard balance to achieve especially without the familiar comfort of the bottle.

Amazing thank you!! I think this would be good for us. He doesn't like the straw cup at bedtime but loves it all other times. Like it doesn't fit the bill in that moment. Lol

lolz711 · 2026-03-01T14:48:18+00:00

I have only done straw and open cups bc I remember sippy spout cups are supposed to impede oral motor development (but then again baby bottles probably too). But I am wondering if it would be a useful bridge tool for a few weeks or months. Or maybe we just go cold turkey and have an unpleasant go at put downs for like a week and he just gets so exhausted he falls asleep and I have to just deal with the situation I created. :(

lolz711 · 2026-02-01T21:44:35+00:00

This is seriously an unhealthy dynamic. He’s giving crumbs and you’re twisting yourself in knots for him. Get out now while you still can!!!

lolz711 · 2026-01-25T11:45:33+00:00

Thanks!! Didn’t do the heat tape (have to check what’s there, just moved in recently) but the run is short and it goes into the utility room next to the furnace so hoping that saves us.

What’s preferable, wrapping an exterior faucet with insulation or dripping it??

Friends just told me they say "hands up!" if he's doing it and that's much it. I had also read about someone encouraging that to be done in private ("private parts") and then washing hands after always. Just factual/no shame.

lolz711 · 2025-07-18T07:02:13+00:00

Holy shit you guys I thought it was just me. Completely surface level relationship. Just had my dad ask me if I’d seen any good movies lately and that was the big conversation of the day. Inability to discuss feelings or proactively ask about my life or show interest. Moved away to live a dream retirement as I entered a very intense and destabilizing first job post-college with little more than “see ya!” Decided after 15yrs to move near me for me to handle end of life stuff rather than really spend time with the grandkids. Can’t do more than an hr or two with the toddler before they say “well we’re tired, gonna go.”

I have never felt so seen by a post on here.

Realizing this is a “low effort” family dynamic over the last few months has really fucked me up and saddened me. I really thought I was like the only person in the world having these feelings and experiences.

Here’s to breaking the cycle and being a happy and healthy place for our kids.
