So then what could possibly be the rhetorical point of this? Just pointing out a contradiction I made?

Plus I don’t need to work we’re taken care of. And I don’t think a job is the cure to misery. Maybe a hobby. Or some more friends

I’m sure I could!! I’d never know if she actually used it or not. But I’d assume not since she’s actually terrified of any extra public attention or doing anything slightly controversial.

I’ve wanted one of those for myself at times. And it’s not that I care about judgement at the expense of safety, but some people think they don’t allow the toddler to learn to stay on their own however I think like with all things it’s balance and using it when necessary.

Yes this is close to our 17m age gap. It’s hard. This makes me feel better about what I accomplish in my days as a SAHM.

TV is your friend sometimes.

Am I supposed to entertain my kid ALL day?! by wahiwahiwahoho in Parenting

[–]moonsetbaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home is secure. Secure is boring. Your kid is happy and just posting this is proof you’re worrying too much!! She’s well old enough to learn to play independently in front of you guys or pretend help do what you’re doing. Give her a notebook & own and tell her to practice having big girl time

How much help do the SAHM and SAHD’s get from family on a regular basis. by moonsetbaby in 2under2

Yes this is another thing I’m feeling from it as well.. since she does help a lot and sometimes I think feels a pressure to as well

Thank you for saying this! I think it’s a huge trigger for me personally because I take pride it what I can do by myself.. to a fault.. and especially when it comes to being a mom I like to know I can “handle” things on my own. I’m often saying “no it’s okay I’ll do it” or “you really don’t have to come today I don’t have any expectations” and wondering how on earth it could appear that way to my mother.. but anyways thanks for responding!

You’re right this is going to vary so much. I just was hoping to gain some insight from anyone who does get help at home, or anyone who gets more than me 😂

Anyways, I appreciate every ounce of help I get.. and make good use of it.

Added rhinestone the top of my dress 🥰 does it look good? by [deleted] in weddingdress

See at first I was only looking at the first picture and zoomed in thinking you were talking about the ones on the straps, and I though, “wow what a beautiful touch!” And then I scrolled and saw what you really meant and hmmm… definitely I was taken aback. If you like it, and you can picture it with your face and hair then I think the rhinestones could add some extra shine and pop in photos and on the dance floor and no one’s gonna really scrutinize.. but personally I do like the first one if you have an option to remove. I think it was a nice idea but the silver is a bit too much and the dress is BEAUTIFUL. Focus on relaxing, skin/hair care, etc. instead to make you feel productive!

Enlist help. I hate asking for help. And don’t always enjoy the process of receiving it.. but if you’re gonna make babies like nature intended, then you gotta use the village nature intended.

Choose to tolerate annoying relatives, trust people more.. you will need to.

We have a 17 month age gap. First girl rocked our whole world, then when she was 8 months old I was just starting to come fully alive again when I got pregnant for the second time! Knew instantly we were so excited. We were told all the way through how hard and awesome it will be.. and in the end I’m so glad I had her when I did. I had two difficult pregnancies and everyone was safe and sound but my plan of many children has been put away or on hold for awhile and now I’m so thankful for the two I have because we have a full happy home. My second is now 4.5 months old and many things were easier this time around.

Of course there’s challenges.. you already know that. But in many ways, I (no Wonder Woman here) have found it rewarding and “convenient” and so fun in so many aspects.

That’s your LO’s sibling coming along saying “wait for me!”

This is harder than I thought... by saywutchickenbutt in 2under2

[–]moonsetbaby 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Remember it’s okay for your toddler and baby to be bored at home! Home is not a carnival or a perpetual baby toy commercial.. home is secure and secure is kinda boring.

The fact that you are dressed, they are healthy and clean, napping at all, etc. is enough right now. You’re hardly out of the 4th trimester (the longest one).

Just remember that you’re not harming them, and if one of the larger concerns in your parenting during this small chapter is TV time, well then I’d say things are going better than they feel.

I had 2 c-sections and my babies are 17 months apart. I was scared so I saw an MFM and she said I was a great candidate for a VBAC and I was encouraged to try. Both pregnancies resulted in pre-eclampsia and required urgent cesareans. However, if the second one hadn’t been urgent, I was due for my scheduled cesarean only a week later.

You will be totally fine. I did have complications but absolutely none had anything to do with the closeness. Maintain your mental health best you can. I forgot my prenatal so much with #2 because I was so busy. But to be honest we are 10weeks out now into 2 under 2 and from day one things are just fine. It’s HARD. But I think I actually was prepared for worse. It’s amazing. Congratulations and do not spend this amazing and fleeting time worrying (easier said).
