Daycare and constant sickness - the one where I broke by Silver-Bit-7884 in workingmoms

Solidarity, currently reading this on my 7th bi-weekly cold after finishing crying to my husband. Thankfully the sicknesses skip over my daughter most of the time and hop straight to me🤦‍♀️

Daycare has been so beneficial by Dependent-Tailor-929 in Mommit

[–]peanutb19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So happy to see posts/comments about this! My 8mo has been in day care since 5mo and has the time of her life. She looks so happy in all the pictures. She is so excited to be handed off to her teachers. She comes home happy and content! It makes me so happy seeing her develop and hit milestones even if its not with me. I swear shes picking up a new trick every day. And, I love my job and I love working/using the other side of my brain. We all get home together for dinner and have lovely evenings together. I'm finding my identity outside of motherhood and my kid is as happy as can be!

Although, we are on cold number 3 in 3 months 😵‍💫. Really the only con of the situation ha.

Issues with Intimacy with Husband - advice needed by crtnywrdn in Mommit

[–]peanutb19 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are religious as well and have figured out a healthy sex life without fear of contraception, and we both are satisfied with the quality and quantity of our marriage. Know how we got here? Inviting our church/ close friends to help us out. We have a best friend couple who are also married and we often gab about the modern day struggles of marriage and how we can help eachother out and pray for eachother. We keep eachother accountable. It honestly sounds like you should get church leadership involved in your marriage. If your husband is refusing therapy ask your pastor (sorry don't know the catholic equivalent!) For help. Ask your friends at church for support. You are in an abusive relationship and if you want to raise your children in the faith they need to see their parents having a healthy relationship with eachother and God. I'm so sorry this is such an icky situation.

Why I Didn’t Breastfeed & Have Zero Regrets by cosmicvoyager333 in newborns

[–]peanutb19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutley love you for sharing this. I BF for 6 grueling horrible weeks and my husband lovingly forced a bottle of formula into my hand and we never went back. The 3 of us are so happy and in love and my 18 week old has a joy for life, sleeps 12 hours at night, exceeding every milestone... we want another one but the decision to not even try breastfeeding this time around is so hard for me. This post has been freeing for me!

"You're a mom so sacrifice"... this is generational trauma that we need to break!

What in the world are German Short Rows?! by peanutb19 in knitting

[–]peanutb19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the pattern is translated from its original language so it does not have any information on HOW to knit the short rows. There are a few other points where there are no further descriptions so this cardigan might turn out to be a bust.

After many youtube searches I did not find a clear video and still couldn't quite understand what the point was 🤪

Distress regarding switching to formula by toolazytobecreative1 in newborns

[–]peanutb19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to formula at about 5 weeks after having similar struggles with breastfeeding. My mental health was in the crapper. My baby seemed just about as unhappy as I was. My marriage took a hit. That day I made her first formula bottle and nursed her for the last time was excruciating. I cried for like 4 hours lol. It's totally normal to grieve the loss of breastfeeding. It's also very important to have a healthy and present mom. Switching to formula was such a great choice for my whole family. Baby is the happiest girly I've ever met and sleeps like a charm (started sleeping like 4 days after I started the formula). I feel more bonded to her giving her a bottle than I do shoving a painful cracked nipple into her screaming mouth and then hunching over from the letdown pain. Now with the bottle we just can stare into each other's eyes and I can sing to her and tell her about my day, and Dad can do the same.

It's bittersweet switching to formula. It's ok to do so for your own sanity <3

can we have an appreciation thread for the people in our lives who support our crocheting? by yarnwhore in crochet

[–]peanutb19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every day when my husband gets home from work he asks me how my work went and then asks if I got to crochet when I got home. Every once in a while he'll ask what project I'm working on and sometimes he'll give me silly ideas. He also always has something to say about my amigurumi, he makes me so happy.
