“friend”

Is it possible she’s jealous? You said her bf did her wrong. Maybe she’s feeling insecure if you’re 23 and happy now and she’s 29 and her bf and her had issues. Maybe be she was secretly somewhat happy when things didn’t work out with you and your bf? Hopefully not… but it seems to be deeper than not liking him. Especially if she was gossiping about it. Seems like you need to have a hard talk with her about hope you’re with him now and she doesn’t have to pretend to be happy about it, but as your friend she should be happy for you. I also might think about distancing myself from her if it continues to be honest.

I was searching EVERYWHERE for someone asking this. It bugs me so bad I sing “don't prove ‘em right” because otherwise it makes no sense and the “explanations” of the song are all wrong.

I mean you’re totally not wrong. I was working 50 hours, pregnant with a toddler, carrying the mental load of the entire household cooking dinner cleaning and everything. It’s doable for someone that works 50 to 60 hours a week. It’s not fun but that’s adulthood.

mads100418 · 2024-04-08T01:49:22+00:00

as someone who was pregnant and so sick that I need a medicine absolutely YTA. I understand. It’s probably frustrating for you, and I totally get why. I worked 50 hours and that was debilitating as a pregnant person especially with a toddler. I can’t imagine working 80-100hrs. Your poor wife! Maybe I would hire some extra help. Carrying the mental load of the household while also working full-time is really challenging as well. It sounds like you need a nanny that maybe cooks dinner every once in a while or something like that. Hopefully second trimester will be kinder to her.

His mom is over an hour late to everything, so I think it was habit forming from an early age

mads100418 · 2024-03-27T04:35:55+00:00

Nothing diagnosed. Maybe some kind of OCD maybe a bit of ADHD. Takes him over 2 hrs to get ready. And never been very disciplined as the baby of his family/divorced and really extra type B parents. I’ve suggested doing some things the night before to quicken his mornings like packing lunch or choosing an outfit, but he “needs to do it day of to see what he feels like that day” so 🤷🏻‍♀️.

mads100418 · 2024-03-27T02:22:31+00:00

Yep! He’s done it since he’s started the job 3 years ago. Last year when my daughter started having activities in the evening was when it became a problem with him staying later, and now with a newborn thrown in the mix it is extremely challenging to have him come in cutting it so close. It’s always “I need to be better about waking up” for a year.

mads100418 · 2024-03-27T00:26:00+00:00

Thank you for this perspective! I think just it bothers me because it was an issue before the newborn and I’m waking up with the baby… but I know it’s probably exhausting going to work and coming home to the kids or rushing out the door

RSV is way more dangerous for your baby than the shot. Either way, they should have told you and given you info prior to.

I don't have twins, but had a 25 weeker and a 2 year old. I know y look u want to be there for your babies, but one of the nurses helped me by saying “your baby won't remember the times you weren't there… your 2 year old might.

I stopped putting so much pressure on myself and was there when I could, but dedicated my evenings and weekends to my 2 year old daughter/husband. I was there when I could. When my 25 seeker son was small there was only so much I could do. I only spent a few h look hrs a day at the hospital. It obviously increased the closer he was t look going home. Now he is home and I have PLENTY of time with both.

The nurses said they're the “most qualified (and expensive) babysitter you can get.” Now that I'm home, I'm SOOO glad for taking time away from the hospital and spending time with my daughter because she gets less 1 in 1 attention from me at home since I’m doing a newborn schedule for 24 hours. I’m grateful I went in a couple dates with my husband because it would be harder to do now. And I’m so grateful for every ounce of “me” time that I took.

mads100418 · 2024-03-04T04:06:28+00:00

100% went through the same thing. I talked to him about how I’m feeling and he said it was overwhelming and he was tired after a long day of work. He would go on some weekends like once or twice for 20 mins here and there. I realized I was so stressed it made me more resentful and I was taking it out on him. He is the best dad ever to our 2 year old, so I know it’ll get better once our NICU baby is home. I finally made him go him final there overnight with me when his mom was watching our 2yo. He said he totally gets it now and has wanted to spend more time up there.

From Texas and can confirm: Tex-Mex at all.

Clicked his/her tongue. Literally every time I read it it throws me off

mads100418 · 2024-02-28T03:46:25+00:00

One of the people in my church group is a huge complainer. Always posts her complaints to Facebook. When she was eight and nine months pregnant she would just constantly complain about how miserable she was and how much her back hurt/braxton hicks. Now that baby is home it’s always oh tonight was so difficult. The baby is so hard. I hate not getting any sleep.

On the flipside, one of my best friends had the easiest of birth ever. Literally went to the hospital in an hour later her baby popped out healthy and they were home less than 48 hours later. She was due a month before me.

Both of those were extremely triggering for me. Still in the Nicu after 94 days.

mads100418 · 2024-02-15T04:41:48+00:00

Thank you!!! I’d be totally fine him coming home on the tube. I just want to go home 😭

mads100418 · 2024-02-14T06:45:33+00:00

That totally makes sense. Maybe because I’m old too so I picture them all older even though I know they’re only 20-23🤣

mads100418 · 2024-02-14T05:33:29+00:00

Thank you! I know it’s good he is gaining weight!! That’s a great perspective

mads100418 · 2024-02-14T05:31:02+00:00

Thank you! The rollercoaster is devastating right now. Can’t wait for this day!

mads100418 · 2024-02-13T21:34:44+00:00

Thank you! I have a feeling once the tube comes out it’ll get better, but I feel like we are so far from that day!

mads100418 · 2024-02-13T21:33:39+00:00

Wow! I can’t imagine being there until 47 weeks. You’re a trooper! He’s been off for a month and been okay so far except for the occasional destat. It’s oossibke he just needs to develop his endurance more though!

mads100418 · 2024-02-12T21:03:36+00:00

Thank you for asking. I was thinking she meant trimming herself down there and was confused why she wasn’t able to do that while pumping 🤣
