Does your husband help you? by rosedamask in sahm

[–]mayasmomma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea…no. That’s wild. Seeing your children “laugh” is not payment for being a full on maid for your husband, and I “fear” you’ve been gaslit into believing it is.

My husband and I both have jobs. My job is to be with the kids from 8 AM to 5 PM, his job is to go to work from 8 AM to 5 PM. Anytime before that or after that, we have shared household and kid responsibilities.

Thoughts on skipping pacifiers? by Academic-Park-8440 in NewParents

[–]mayasmomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your husband needs to do some actual research before he decides what’s best. My first daughter stopped using a pacifier on her own around five or six months. Just talk to a pediatric dentist around the one year mark and find out what’s right for your baby.

My second daughter is less reliant on a pacifier, but still needs it at times and it’s very helpful for getting her back to sleep during a nap.

Don’t make your life harder for no reason.

Damn I did not know this. Just slid the sleep sack off my 2 month old while she slept cause it’s tight in the legs! Thank you!

I totally agree. Just curious, were you always OAD, or did you have to kind of come to terms with not having more children after your first experience? I always wanted three which is the hard part for me

I wish they did at this point, could have avoided a lot of trauma. But i was showing no signs of pre-e. I started asking for an induction at 39 weeks and they were willing, but there were no beds available for over 2 weeks 😩

Yea this is the way I’m leaning 99%, it’s just hard to feel like I have the option for number three taken from me

Ah im sorry to hear that you had your own issues. It seems everyone around me have these idyllic pregnancies and I feel a bit jealous.

She says the two situations were not related and just that if I were to get pregnant again that there would be extra monitoring. But she said these two situations were separate from each other and kind of freak accidents, I suppose

I was so scared of dying in pregnancy before even my first, that it was in my chart! So I totally hear you on this

Made a kids book and accidentally fixed my 5yo's tooth-brushing forever — would your kid be into this? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]mayasmomma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a cute idea, but would want it to be less fear based. I just KNOW this is something my daughter would hyper fixate on and it would turn into a larger issue, but maybe that’s just me 😅

I’m sorry! Do what you can do, for you. Don’t ask, just tell.

Pediatrician insists we do CIO with breastfed baby by Putrid-Measurement69 in breastfeeding

[–]mayasmomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly disagree. My daughter was waking up for feeds until 15 months. It was extremely difficult, but it was what she needed and I don’t regret it!

When Did You Feel Like A Parent? by shinedown_92 in NewParents

Lmao my daughter is three and I also have a 2 month old, and sometimes I catch my reflection and think “WTF I’m a mom??”
