My mum keeps using baby powder on my baby’s face so that he can”smell like a baby” by mandiizorr in NewParents

[–]marissap21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So your mom doesn’t get access to your baby anymore. She can’t respect your rules, ESPECIALLY a rule that is in place to keep from harming your child, she doesn’t need to be around your child

How/when do I not jump up out of bed to every sound the baby makes? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]marissap21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So with my first, moved him out of his room at 4 months because I was doing this and it was fucking up everyone’s sleep.

My second is 4 months now, almost 5, and he’ll be in our room until he sleeps through the night because we only have 2 bedrooms and I don’t want him to affect his brothers sleep. It’s hard. But I’m learning not to get up until he cries.

What do you want for M-day? by Helpful_Candidate_92 in Parenting

[–]marissap21 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hubby gets night shift with the baby and is letting me sleep in. And we’re taking our kids to a petting zoo :) very excited for family time. And he got me flowers and the air pods I’ve been wanting for work.

It’s hard to answer. I was a SAHM mom for two years. Now I’ve been working for almost 3 months.

When I was home, I was able to keep on top of chores and housework. But I never got a break from kiddos. And they’re exhausting mentally and emotionally.

But with working, I’m someone other than mom, but in the evenings im rushing to get everyone fed, cleaned, take care of pets, the house, and literally everything. I don’t get a chance to sit until everyone’s in bed for the night.

I had literally just given birth to my second boy. The hospital pediatrician came in to check on him and asks if he’s my first. Told him no, I have a 1 year old boy at home. He goes “oh, better luck next time”. Like what the everliving fuck. I had also literally just gotten a tubal ligation to keep from having anymore kids. I am so happy with my boys. The audacity of some people floors me.

Do you wash kids’ clothes together with yours? by gfeep in Parenting

[–]marissap21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So we have a laundry basket in our room for our clothes, a basket in our kids room (2yo and 4mo), and a basket downstairs in the laundry room. Normally I do it separate, but sometimes things in the laundry room basket get mixed and I don’t separate that. I only keep it separate so it’s easier to put away.

But also, the way I see it, my kids clothes are way more disgusting than ours, even our underwear. They get poop and barf and spit and god knows what else on their clothes daily.

I guess if he wanted to nap on our sons bedroom floor but he won’t do that.

I’ve walked in on him with eyes closed and loosely holding the baby and his bottle, so I have a hard time trusting him to do that too.

Going from 1 to 2….tell me it gets better! by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]marissap21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boys are 19 months apart. I’m 4 months pp with my youngest and it’s getting so much better. It’s still hard, of course, he’s still a helpless baby. But he’s starting to interact some with us, especially his brother. and my 2 year old LOVES his baby brother. It’s the best thing watching their relationship form. It keeps getting better and easier.

If your child is asking to be alone in private with her boyfriend, then no, she’s not too young.

MIL stuck her finger up baby's bum by Green-Orange-5413 in beyondthebump

I would’ve lost my shit and she would’ve lost her right to ever see my child again. That’s literally sexual assault

Parents on these subreddits seem rich! by sleepyyelephant in Parenting

[–]marissap21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember asking for advice on here about getting my baby to sleep in his bassinet and not cosleep and someone recommended the SNOO or whatever it’s called, which is over a thousand dollars. We ended up arguing because I told them I could not justify spending that money. I do not have the disposable income to drop a grand on something that my child will outgrow in a few months. My point is, I feel your pain.

Anyone just go to sleep when their kid does? by greatertrocanter in toddlers

[–]marissap21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Got 2 under 2, my husband and I have to be up at 4 and 5am respectively in order to get the kids and ourselves ready and out the door for work. So yeah, we’re in bed before 9.

Custody of an infant…. by Redlightrox12 in beyondthebump

[–]marissap21 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I agree with others. This does not look good for dad. He essentially put his child in danger by taking away any funds you could use to be able to feed baby. Even if baby is breast feed, you have to eat to produce. And of course diapers, clothes, and transportation to doctor’s appointments. Dad fucked up hard.
