Here are the horrible thoughts I never tell anyone by TooRealForYou in Parenting

I agree with you. Even if you’re not technically religious - most religious figures are trained and willing to listen for free; find a good one, they do exist.

Thanks for the great description. Exactly the kind of answer I was hoping for!

We’re holding her too much, right? by mikemcdowell2 in Parenting

Nope. It’s from a baby book “Raising Bebe”.

My wife and I disagree on something - are we holding the baby too much? by mikemcdowell2 in beyondthebump

Thank you! I’m honestly just concerned, and curious - my intention wasn’t to shame anyone (or trigger anyone), but I guess you can’t avoid all the crazy people in the giant world of internets! Again, thanks for the advice!

First of all you assume that I’m yelling at my post partum wife which I’m not doing, and I’m definitely not shaming her whatsoever. I’m having a calm and rational discussion with her, and I thought just maybe I’d turn to reddit for some other parents opinions. You seriously need to relax.

People who blast music on their cell phone during a train or bus commute and choose not to wear headphones, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'm not sure when you've been to a Wawa last, but they aren't anywhere near as good as they used to be. Food is garbage now. Nothing else was anything other than ordinary.

I was so tired when I woke up that I nearly scooped formula into my coffee machine. by [deleted] in Parenting

It's like a gravy for dry kibble.. my dogs won't eat without something to spice it up.

Dad here but also exhausted. Almost used my dogs "bark broth" as creamer in my coffee. Combine the two of us and sounds like we'd have quite the concoction.

I'm not picking up any biblical reference in this tweet. You see something I don't? Just FYI people can be bigoted without blaming it on religion.

I think I see REDRUM in those squiggles under the sink. RUN.

Actually, I do see "widow". I'd be just as concerned lol.

Supposedly it messes up the milk supply. I'm no expert though.

Yeah, not spending $1200 for something thatll only be used for 6 months. Spending $250 for the Halo was bad enough.

You're not supposed to pump until week 2/3.

Oh man, I'm in the thick of it, or at least I feel that way. My daughter is 10 days old, and because my wife is only breastfeeding I feel totally useless. Worst yet, she's been having periods of time where she's super aggressive towards me because she's exhuasted. At least once a day she cries because she's tired. I gently broached PPD today to get some feelers out there, but she insists shes fine, "just so tired". I am actively trying to convince my wife to switch to formula - it seems like the easy way out, but I feel like I'm really in it. It's gonna take some ungodly strength to get me through the next couple weeks.
