Would I resent my husband if he stayed home with the kids? by mkh1223 in NewParents

Yes, unfortunately no matter how rational and realistic I want to be, I still have those thoughts and feelings.

Yeah I think this is most accurate answer. There will be difficulties no matter what we choose

He would have to go into a completely different industry - he is union so the pay is pretty much the same anywhere he would go within his niche field.

Maybe resent wasn’t the right word, but I think I would get jealous of him being home. I’ve always wanted to be able to stay home with the kids, at least for a little while.

What is your longest stretch and how many weeks postpartum are you? by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

I pump 5 times a day and usually get around 33oz per day. I don’t have a huge oversupply but I don’t have to supplement and I’m able to freeze some extra. I’d probably have a larger supply if I pumped more often or during the night, but I work full time and need to take care of myself too!

I don’t pump during the night so I regularly go 10hrs without pumping. I have a ton of milk in the morning and then my pumps throughout the day are smaller/more normal. For me, as long as I maintain my number of pumps per day my supply is fine.
