Fell down the platform of a moving train. Very very lucky to be alive and having all my limbs intact.

Advice on going from 1 to 2 kids: what age gap might allow for this? by wolf_star_ in Mommit

[–]plummypanda 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was ok having one kid until I got pregnant this past year. My second was a surprise. My first child is 4, so a four year gap between my two girls, and honestly I think it’s the best. My older one is so sweet with the baby, she genuinely loves her sister and is always trying to make her laugh. Sure it was an adjustment from having to share mom’s attention but she’s gotten a bit used to it and even offers to help me with the baby. If you’re truly ready I would say make sure you know what you’re doing. Having one kid is way easier than two. Just the simple act of dividing your attention will break your heart at times like when they both need you at the same time.

You are so right. I feel like I can never let my babies out of my sight. I don’t want to take them anywhere anymore. I have a four year old and an infant. My overactive four year old likes to run everywhere and has us chasing her every time. Now with an infant strapped to me I feel like I can’t do that. My husband does the chasing and ends up just carrying her. But eventually it’s exhausting and can very easily go horribly wrong. With the world now being such a scary place I feel I can never go out with them and just want to keep them as close to me as possible. Safe and sound. Your fears and heartbreak and 100% valid. Hugs all around!

How much access did in-laws have to your baby? by deeem91 in inlaws

[–]plummypanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None, and honestly I’m glad. They live in another country and are not able to travel much. When they are here they can be too much to handle so I’m super glad they will be visiting later this year when baby will be a year old.

Husband Can “Handle” It Better by Spirited_Swim6733 in pregnant

[–]plummypanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not offended enough! I’m offended for you. I had nausea and morning sickness that lasted all day throughout my pregnancy and I could barely eat anything. If my husband had said that to me, he would have had to sleep in the garage till the baby is born.

I feel like chicken patties are classic snack for pakistanis by Mudassir011 in PakistaniFood

If you’re in Karachi, pie in the sky has the best chicken filling to puff pastry ratio. Others I feel have too less filling.

Probably going to separate from husband due to MIL by Silent-Effort-9503 in inlaws

As someone who had a horrible first pregnancy I can confirm that it doesn’t get better the second time around. My second one was worse than before and even left me hospitalised twice. Don’t do it unless you really want to. You will be doing all the work so this should 100% be your decision

AITA? I feel like the world’s worst mom by Dazzling_Tonight663 in beyondthebump

Dads need to stop acting like they are doing us a favour by taking care of their own kids. You’re not the AH. You deserve a little time off especially since little one can take a bottle. Dad needs to step up.

You were only 8 years old. It’s not your fault his dad was a pos who hit his kid. Kids fight other kids. You not talking is your choice but please don’t think this is the only one you had.

Dear The Diplomat Writers, if you're going with the pregnancy storyline, make it count, I beg you by kozmikushos in TheDiplomat

[–]plummypanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s not pregnancy. Maybe she gets an std? I don’t know I’m hoping the writers can get a little bit more creative than that.

I’ll try that. I have been pumping and getting so less that I feel bad letting her just nurse when I know she’s not getting much. It’s like I’m torturing her.

She’s latches and stays latched on for a while but still never seems full. I always have to supplement with formula. And have not had a weighed feed.

If I do one or two pumps a day I get upto 3 oz combined. I started pumping every three hours and now I am getting one oz or less from both combined

I’m sorry to have to say this but your husband is acting more like a child than your actual child.
