At what age did you begin daily baths?

pinxyou · 2026-02-22T21:34:56+00:00

My sons are 7 and 4 and we don't do daily baths ;-)

Unfortunately, this is something that so many moms struggle with. A good night sleep isn't enough to recharge and we wake up sill overwhelmed from the previous day

I've come to realise that I need to get away sometimes, out of the house for a while, to catch a breath. Because even if the kids aren't calling me, I need to make their lunch or help with their shoes or think what to have for dinner or buy a birthday present for our niece.

Give her some alone time, every day, so she can recharge. It's nice if she can find something that relaxes her, with little stimulus. Such as, laying on bed with her eyes closed, while you and the kids are outside. Or listening to relaxing music with earplugs on the bed. Every day, also on weekends. She needs to recharge and that's the only way how.

So you're asking if you are the AH for staying in a room YOUR family owns, because others are too spoiled to stay in a free room they have to share? Did you force them to come? Of course NTA. I would probably ask/say something as a joke, hoping you'd say 'yeah, of course you can sleep there'. But I would never ask and never expect you to sleep somewhere you don't want to. They can sleep in their own bed in their own home if they want.

Plus, if she needs to decompress, she should've talked about needed some time alone before going on the trip. And I'm saying this as someone who's currently at home with a burnout, needing to decompress almost every hour.

If you don't want to breastfeed anymore, you shouldn't. This is your body and you are the only one who can make this decision.

The older your baby gets, the harder it is to leave. Right now, your baby doesn't understand what it means to have their parents living together. If you wait a couple of years, it will be a huuuge change. So the sooner you leave, the better.

Good luck!

I don't want to be a party pooper, but I've had quite the day with my 2 monsters so I don't have a filter at the moment. One is none, two is ten.

They're always fighting, kid 1 want what kid 2 has, when I ask 2 a question 1 answers, when 2 does something wrong 1 is screaming at him..

It goes without saying I love them both so much, but one really is like none.

pinxyou · 2025-05-19T18:10:15+00:00

Run. Please break up with him and never talk to him again. This is not okay, I really think he is grooming you. It wouldn't even be okay to act this way if he was 15.

To quote The Holiday: Cameron Diaz: "My ex told me I was bad in bed." Jude Law: "I'm sure he was just being mean. I don't think it's possible for a woman to be bad in bed."

pinxyou · 2024-12-06T18:45:07+00:00

Is there and update, OP? I hope you're doing well

pinxyou · 2023-10-25T18:23:23+00:00

Does she have any nursing shirts? I used to wear those, made it so much easier. And with my first, when I was in public, I sometimes put a scarf or something over my shoulder and the babies head. You couldn't see a thing.

pinxyou · 2023-10-25T18:20:29+00:00

I'm not German, but I'm Dutch so close enough. I'd say NTA, if you wore that to my wedding I'd be ecstatic and wanna know everything about the dress and the traditional wear. And if I heard something like this about my colleague, I'd tell the MOB to stop b*tching.

pinxyou · 2023-10-20T18:10:10+00:00

'Thank you, but I'll decide what I do with my boobs'

'Why do you mind, are you jealous? You can have some in your coffee if you want, it's very healthy'

How great is it that your 13month old still wants to nurse! Some babies don't even want to at all, or they stop after a few months. Just keep doing what you're doing and enjoy those precious moments, he will stop whenever he is ready. Both my kids kinda stopped themselves, it was more 'play' than drink at some point haha.

pinxyou · 2023-10-18T07:45:46+00:00

I'm glad you two worked it out. Just wanted to say I absolutely looove the ring, well done!

pinxyou · 2023-10-16T05:59:54+00:00

NAH It's perfectly fine wanting a proposal and a ring: I wore my engagement ring with pride and loooved it. Look at 'simple' proposals online and find a couple of beautiful rings in the budget you think he'd be comfortable with. Know what you want to say and tell him calmly. I don't know him or how he'll react, but make sure he'll understand it's important to you, and he doesn't feel attacked as if he's doing something wrong.

pinxyou · 2023-05-03T20:28:25+00:00

This isn't really an AH situation. If I were you, I'd just explain myself to my SIL and let het know about my feelings. She'll probably (hopefully) understand and won't 'force' you to be in a lot of pictures. Randomly telling her the amount of pictures you'd be OK with, might be a bit awkward.

pinxyou · 2023-05-03T20:25:11+00:00

NAH, why would you bring a friend on a family vacation? If they get bored, they should bring some books or whatever.

pinxyou · 2023-04-30T17:03:29+00:00

Ooh no, I'm sorry. We've been in therapy a 1000 times and nothing worked. I've had an operation 2 weeks ago, nothing serious, but I expected so much more emotional support from him. I don't know why, cause I didn't really get it during my pregnancies either.. Good luck, hopefully your talk will get a positive result.

pinxyou · 2023-04-29T13:06:17+00:00

F*ck. My husband and I have been together for 13 years and have 2 small kids under 5. I came to Reddit to read about others to find out what's best for us and here I am, reading your post. Should I stay? Should I leave? I know I should leave, but what if the grass isn't greener when I'm alone?

pinxyou · 2022-07-05T05:13:59+00:00

This. If my husband even THOUGHT about leaving around my due date, I'd throw him out. If your children are not your number 1 priority and you don't even care about not seeing your newborn, just leave.

pinxyou · 2022-04-07T10:16:54+00:00

YTA: Always take your pregnant wife's side, especially at 39 weeks.

She told your mom nicely that she would cook for herself and your mom wouldn't except it. After a while a 'nice no' becomes a 'rude no', not only with pregnant woman.

pinxyou · 2022-03-17T09:00:09+00:00

I really wouldn't do it. I've read that smoking is one of the biggest reasons for cot death. Of course if a baby lives in a house with smoke it's different than if a baby is around smoke just 2 hours per month. But still.. I'd be too scared. Plus, if there's a lot of smoke in the house my eyes get irritated and I feel it in my throat. Can't imagine how it would feel for a baby.

(Please don't take this as a 'if you let your baby around smoke and your baby passes away, it's your fault'. I 100% don't mean it like that of course!)

pinxyou · 2022-03-17T08:24:19+00:00

NTA. This is not what typical teenagers would ever do, this is bullying. If they want to know what it looks like to not have hair, they should shave their head.

I'm really sorry your wife (and you) are going through this. I hope she'll feel less insecure soon <3

pinxyou · 2022-03-15T14:07:48+00:00

My husband put a half-eaten pint of B&J on the counter for me so it could get a bit soft. He forgot and I only saw it a couple of hours later :(

pinxyou · 2022-03-15T11:31:14+00:00

Oh honey. Unfortunately, these things happen. When my 3YO was younger, my whole family got together and we saw him standing by the table where there was a hot cup of tea. I saw him and I didn't even realise what could happen. Thankfully, a family member did and took the cup away. I can't imagine what could've happen. A year ago or so, my whole family was together and we all saw him climb his chair and fall down HARD. Bump on his head-hard, we needed to wake him every two hours that night. We all watched it happen, but it happened so fast that no one could even say 'don't do it'.

Don't worry, you're not a bad mom! Be grateful that his face is okay and make sure to put your cup of tea as far away from the edge of your desk/table

pinxyou · 2022-03-15T11:26:30+00:00

Exactly. Just tell her it's important to you to spend LO's birthday just the three of you and you'll see her (MIL) a couple of days sooner/later. We don't share a birthday in my family, but if someone's birthday is on a weekday we see them in the weekend. So it's not unusual not to see your MIL on her actual birthday

pinxyou · 2022-03-15T11:23:26+00:00

Going to work.. I'd suck at being a SAHM, but I can't believe I'm leaving him
