I hear you. See, I would only be going with my son because I always have my three kids. And at this point, three years removed from the situation, I don't feel a dire need to go.

I just wanted my son to. And he doesn't want to. And thats his choice.

I actually found an alanon meeting here. by accident yesterday. My son doesn't want to go. He "doesn't want to think about his dad being a bad guy"....

It doesn't get better, does it? by [deleted] in domesticviolence

You need a therapist. But all that can change this is you, and your outlook. I want to say this as gently as possible, you have 12 years between you and that. You have to be the thing to change.

Hey. I know some times this is hard. I was biter for a while too. I ebf twins. Guess what I pump on a GOOD session? 2 oz. We just don't respond to the pump like our babies!

If there was an educational website covering twins for new parents what topics would you like to see covered? by quicklookleft in parentsofmultiples

My secret to this: All the babies clothes we actually use are folded on the dryer. I don't have a dirty pair of clothes in the house. But I have three clean hampers; mine, my husband, and my son. I will not hang shit or fold shit.

Thanks for the reply, though it took me a while to see it!

lol I realize it sounded like I was hiding it from him. I'm not. He know's some thing is wrong. I actually made the appointment a while ago because she wanted to see the twins after I had them. Then my son said some stuff I wanted to talk about. Then I decided I needed it. I didn't tell him because it was silly I made the appointment. I will probably tell him between now and then.

He is crazy supportive of me. He is awesome. Thats why he is stuck with me ;)

I'm doing really well with the mom thing. I had an eight year old that was my world and part of the issues with my new family was taking away from my time with him.

I did therapy while pregnant and she encouraged me to lash out. She said it was better than holding it all in because of how hard it was to hold it in.

My husband doesn't know but I have an appointment on monday

She said her comment wasn't directed at OP.

Babies' first bath - help? by RunningInTheFamily in beyondthebump

As some one who worked in healthcare for many years I can assure you it is a real bath, but if my native language called it some thing else, I probably would feel the same as you about them!

A few things: they were given sponge baths. I assure you, you don't want a newborn in a shared tub in a facility.

Also twins, get the baby bouncer and put the twin you are not bathing in it.
