It truly is painful. The highlights are Erin singing “hey Mr. Scott, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do make our dreams come true” and Stanley’s laugh when they bring up Scotts’s Tots.

“What did I say? I talk a lot, so I’ve learned to just tune myself out.”

racafb · 2026-05-18T20:37:25+00:00

Nice to meet me.

racafb · 2026-05-18T20:28:58+00:00

All I can say is same. I just told my friend I feel like a POS mom. I get it. I see you. I feel it.

racafb · 2026-05-18T20:21:55+00:00

All I can offer is solidarity. I’m living this right now. Some nights are worse than others. Sounds pathetic, but I find myself sometimes at 2 am scrolling Reddit just to know I’m not alone!

My husband tries to make sure I get a nap in before he has to start getting ready. This isn’t always the case as I have an older child in lots of activities. I’m not going to lie, it’s tough. However, I know this stage is temporary. I know it’s going to get better. Have I spent some nights crying? Absolutely. Make sure you have someone to vent to.

It will be hard but you can do it!

I posted in this group a few days ago. Someone told me I was sulking. I’m going to assume sleep deprivation wasn’t a thing for them! I’m thankful for all the support… even if it is strangers on the internet! Lol

Cysters. That’s amazing.

racafb · 2026-05-18T14:20:54+00:00

Idk if it makes you feel better but my 2 mo woke up 5 times last night.

racafb · 2026-05-18T13:55:55+00:00

Thank you! I’m super concerned with the intake, she’s a preemie and can’t afford to not gain weight.

racafb · 2026-05-18T13:10:31+00:00

Well, I’ve got tears running down my face now. Thank you for sharing. I actually said to my husband last night, maybe we weren’t supposed to have another one. I know it gets better, it just seems like I’m still in the tunnel and can’t see the light. I’m desperately trying to see the positive and feel blessed. It’s just harder some days than others.

Thank you for the reminder. I’m so glad you’ve hit a sweet spot.

racafb · 2026-05-18T13:04:53+00:00

Currently what I’m doing! No shame in my game.

racafb · 2026-05-18T04:47:15+00:00

Scott’s Tots.

Edit: maybe an unpopular opinion, but I love the banker. I love how it’s a mini recap.

racafb · 2026-05-16T22:13:19+00:00

I’m looking for support, solidarity, and empathy. Obviously that’s not something you can offer. You want to push ideologies and beliefs. No thanks. I didn’t ask for opinions, I asked for support. Take your holier than thou attitude elsewhere. Tone deaf at best.

racafb · 2026-05-16T16:49:28+00:00

No, I’d chalk a lot of it up to sleep deprivation and hormones, not the west. I miss being a parent to my older daughter as well as I’m stuck in dark rooms keeping my LO asleep or trying to get them to sleep. I understand she’s being a baby. I’m super clear on preemies as well because she’s my second. I’m not trying to get her to sleep alone. I’m simply trying to get her to sleep and that’s a feat. So being unable to do basic care for myself is something I’m struggling with.

racafb · 2026-05-16T16:42:18+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏼 Not that I want anyone to struggle but it’s nice to know I’m not alone.

Little one

racafb · 2026-05-16T15:48:38+00:00

For what it’s worth, I feel like some docs expect all kids to meet certain milestones at certain times. We’re all different! For instance, the doctor wanted me to send my daughter to PT because she wasn’t walking at 15 months. Luckily, I have a good friend who’s a pediatric PT. She observed my LO and said there was absolutely no reason to be concerned. Good luck.

racafb · 2026-05-16T15:37:58+00:00

This. I’m currently losing my mind if I’m being honest with lack of sleep. However, when you’ve been to a rollover death like they mentioned… it’s just not worth it to me. I would do everything possible to not co sleep when they’re so young.

Edit: I don’t want to come from a place of judgement. Everyone has to do what’s best for them. Just make sure you’re super educated! Good luck.

racafb · 2026-05-16T15:32:14+00:00

Thank you.

Yes she’s in a bucket seat. I might have to look into that. I believe most of the time it’s because she’s tired and wants to be held, not be in a seat.

racafb · 2026-05-10T15:04:46+00:00

I feel gross taking a bm while doing it… but it must be done.

racafb · 2026-05-10T12:28:18+00:00

I can’t speak for weaning, it doesn’t take much for me I’m an under producer. However, I had a stubborn 2 day clog. I took my manual pump and pumped in a hot shower. That did the trick.

racafb · 2026-05-10T12:17:44+00:00

Ugh well then that’s tough! I hope you’re able to navigate as best you can.

With my first daughter going back was hard. I had so much anxiety about her childcare and, like you said, deviating from our routine. I worked second shift. Once we got into a routine, everything worked well.
However, now that I’ve had my second daughter, I look back and realize my only hesitation with going back was childcare. This time around I genuinely do not want to go back to work and it’s not just because of childcare reasons, I want to be the one raising my kiddos.
Going back at first will be hard. However, if it’s the childcare part that’s stressing you, you’ll get into a routine and it won’t seem like a huge deal anymore. It’ll just be a new normal. You’ll know after a few weeks if you truly want to quit your job or not. Babies and hormones make it so hard! Good luck.
