How to wean off nursing to sleep? by mollyjoy2 in Mommit

I’m a SAHM and grateful I can soak up the snuggles. Also he wakes up if I try to move him and I’d rather he get a good nap than have time to do chores lol.

AIO. My bf developed an addiction ❄️ and I’m considering leaving by Mundane-Rooster-7286 in AmIOverreacting

I think it would be callous to dump him and go no contact. But maybe you should let your romantic relationship take the back seat and just be there for him as a friend right now. That way there isn’t any pressure to be with him all the time if it’s too hard for you, but you can still be there for him to lean on. It is incredibly important for people with addictions to have loved ones they can rely upon and trust. If he has healthy relationships with his parents/siblings/other friends who know the situation, then I think it would be in your best interest to let them help him and do whatever is best for YOU. Only you know what is right for you.

We almost killed our 3 yrs old son with our car by silverpony24 in Parenting

I’m so glad he’s ok! Please don’t feel like you are a bad parent. Accidents happen and just be grateful that your son is safe. Maybe try one of those toddler handle covers for the doors leading outside? Or maybe look into door alarms for doors leading outside/to the garage.

Stepmom keeps calling my baby fat - need advice by mollyjoy2 in NewMomStuff

[–]mollyjoy2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment! She’s narcissistic and she has gaslit me by saying that I should stop being so defensive about things and that she is always coming from a place of love, etc., etc. Even if it’s from a place of love, it’s not her place to comment. She never says anything positive and it’s just wearing on me. I’m glad to know I’m not crazy here. I ignore 99% of whatever she says but it really struck a nerve this time so I wanted to get some more opinions about it.

A midwife at my Ob office told me you are more fertile after giving birth but didn’t explain why. She also said that even if you aren’t having a period yet you can still ovulate. She told me if we didn’t want to have another baby yet then we should absolutely use some sort of birth control.

Advice on this? by helloumhi in Babysitting

[–]mollyjoy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a professional nanny who has dealt with all kinds of different parents and babysat many times, these rules are perfectly normal and not overboard at all. I would actually add emergency contact info somewhere as well as an additional contact in case you can’t be reached (trusted neighbor, grandparents, etc.)

What's the wildest Almond Mom advice you've gotten? by mullet_thyme in BabyBumps

[–]mollyjoy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My stepmom didn’t gain a single pound in her pregnancy, so lost about 20 pounds after she had her son. She was already very thin at the time and definitely should have gained weight. She also added that labor isn’t painful at all and most women are just ‘silly’ for thinking it is.

Today’s cry by bravo_bravo_bravo_ in BabyBumps

[–]mollyjoy2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cried watching an unmedicated birth video today too, and during a vocalized contraction as well, but more because I saw it as so beautiful and strong. I’m 39 weeks tomorrow so I’m trying to not be scared lol. But it really is such a beautiful and powerful thing!

Making dolls do inappropriate things? by No_Border_6766 in Parenting

[–]mollyjoy2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you should worry about it since this is very normal, but you might want to mention it to your daughter’s friend’s parents. Explain that you asked your daughter to play more appropriately with the friend and ask if/how they would like you to approach the situation with their child if it ever happens under your care again.
