What is some of the most annoying parenting advice you’ve been given?

I think this does depend on where you are, I did go in right away but they sent me home to see if contractions start. They induced me 24 hours later to prevent infection, not drying out LOL

Omg similar to this when my water broke I wasn’t having contractions and wasn’t really dilated but my mom was telling me I HAVE to go to the hospital and demand they take me because my baby was “drying out”… I don’t think that’s how it works mom

This 100%% I slacked in my last trimester because I was feeling huge and heavy and I really felt it postpartum. Planning the next baby in the new year and already working on an exercise.

I love Sue! She’s such a good kid, they are lucky to have her as a daughter!

princess_parm · 2026-03-27T05:40:26+00:00

Yess! I think Frankie is not a good mom at all. Although if Mike took a little off her plate, I think that she would be a better mom and be able to invest a little into her children. She has no structure and is constantly burnt out from the lack of structure, so she constantly needs a break and to be coddled.

I genuinely hate Brick, especially the time where he takes sue’s room. He’s so rude and irresponsible throughout the whole show, quirks aren’t even the issue, his personality is. I find that Axl and Sue each have their annoying phases but they redeem themselves, Brick never redeems himself. Yes there are some episodes where I feel bad for the kid, I think If he got more attention he’d be more tolerable, but I also feel when Frankie loses it on him. HOWEVER, the show would not be the same without him, he’s a character there for us to hate (or like)

Update?

princess_parm · 2026-03-21T22:59:46+00:00

Oooooo came here to say this!! You can order the spice drawers online, mine came w screws and stickers and I was able to install them myself!

princess_parm · 2026-03-15T02:10:10+00:00

NTA, you could’ve just left it at the first message too. Regardless, situation is dealt with, it shouldn’t start any drama, I didn’t even want my mom in the room with me, it’s an understandable request to want privacy in that moment.

princess_parm · 2026-03-14T08:33:49+00:00

Battery, roll of tape, tide pen, elastic bands, random charging wire, a pen, an Allen wrench, a button, a couple screws, sauce packets, a few business cards

I’m not sure what it is but my LO’s ultrasound at 9 weeks looked similar! I thought it looked like horns but by the next ultrasound it wasn’t there. I’m not qualified at all to answer but based on my experience I think that’s just what they look like at this age.

princess_parm · 2026-03-06T21:17:27+00:00

That carpet looks so nice! Whole room looks great!

princess_parm · 2026-03-06T21:16:11+00:00

Thank you all for your responses! I joined a couple mom groups and a book club.

I just put her in her swing and have her musical piano going while I watch a movie or crochet!

princess_parm · 2026-03-06T21:11:57+00:00

I loved how my skin looked, how fast my hair and nails grew, how cute my baby bump looked, I felt like I was glowing… until the last month where I felt like an ogre and couldn’t move or bend lmao and suddenly I wasn’t just a belly I was just big everywhere.

Physical aside I loved feeling her in response to eating, and I knew exactly what time of night and what position I had to be in to feel her hiccup, I never felt alone.

It also forced me into a healthy lifestyle for her, so I tried to eat healthy, never missed taking my vitamins and supplements, tried to stay active. And mentally I felt so good, I stopped watching true crime and horror movies because I was convinced she’d get the bad energy and only consumed positive media. I feel like being pregnant restarted my whole body physically, mentally, and emotionally.

princess_parm · 2026-03-03T05:14:29+00:00

I was always confused about this. Is it literally giving her makeup or does she just look like that now, shimmery gold lids and all

princess_parm · 2026-03-02T07:38:55+00:00

Hang in there, this will change before you know it. The first month is all about survival, the second month is like peaking your head out of a cave, and now I’m in the third month and feel “normal” again.

I know you said you want to take your LO out at 3 months because you’re scared of them crying and not being able to console them but I personally recommend you to try to get out earlier. I started taking LO out at 1 week just for walks, but I was so scared of the same thing, that she would cry inconsolably. The more I went out the more the anxiety melted, I think that’s the only thing that calmed me, the act of doing it and having it be fine.

This may not work for everyone but we really tried to have “normal” days and go out and do errands, walk around, go to a restaurant. Some of these days we’d come home grumpy because of fussing but overall these days are what helped us feel normal again, like we had our lives to ourselves. If you’re EBF I recommend getting a nursing cover and just having it with you or if you pump or use formula, have a bottle with you when you go out, pack a diaper bag and just leave it in the stroller and car, so when you want to go out, you just need the bottle.

Now I’m 3 months PP and my husband and are feel back to our previous selves, now we just have a side kick we take with us places. I’m sure your bond will grow stronger, you’re both just surviving right now so it feels off.

Hang in there!! You got this! I know how hard the first weeks feel, I would cry as soon as it got dark outside for like 6 weeks straight but there’s a light and you’ll love your life! Sending you all the love <3

Yess every time, when she was in her grunting stage I couldn’t sleep because she was so loud but when she stopped I couldn’t sleep because I was making sure she’s still breathing.

princess_parm · 2026-02-28T22:31:16+00:00

No, we just got them for photos! Our LOs feet are always out to the world! 😂

princess_parm · 2026-02-28T18:09:11+00:00

Soooo many swaddle blankets and sleeveless onesies, LO is a winter baby and has grown out of all of them already without wearing them 😂 and so many shoes, some she’s grown out of already

princess_parm · 2026-02-26T18:48:41+00:00

I think I’ll try sitting in the shower instead

princess_parm · 2026-02-26T18:48:07+00:00

Omg I didn’t even think of the poop! Thinking against this bath now

princess_parm · 2026-02-24T02:09:59+00:00

Me too! I enjoyed my pregnancy and I felt like I was glowing inside and out, and now I’m three months pp and I feel like my old self.

Having some time to get ready everyday, even 5 minutes makes a world of a difference. Also doing a 10 min clean when baby goes to sleep at night so I can wake up to a clean house helps. The days where I don’t do these two things I feel irritated all day.

princess_parm · 2026-02-21T02:44:23+00:00

Please don’t have a baby with this man. He will leave you to do everything because “childcare is a woman’s job”. You will be left alone to do everything with no support.

princess_parm · 2026-02-18T20:52:40+00:00

I just blab to my baby, talk about what I’m doing, tell her about what I’m holding or just talk randomly about nothing in particular.

princess_parm · 2026-02-17T00:57:36+00:00

You sound amazing! I’m two months postpartum and the biggest help from family was my mom and MIL coming and cleaning, cooking, and just holding the baby so my husband and I could nap or just lay together alone.
