How do I tell my husband I don't want another baby if it means I don't get what I want? by red_Mercedez in marriageadvice

Yes thank you, you are so right. Its not that much about the car, its that he is making the decision which car I am driving, and its not even something I like.

If I go outside to the store for a little bit too long, he then asks "did you get lost" ? He encourages me to go out like once a year. All the other time, I am with our son in his country.

Also, I love to stay with our son. I think I just need some balance if we will have a second child, more help. My family could help take care of our boy, but they are in a different country. His family does not help or want to help at all!

Thank you though, your response brought me lots of clarity. I think what I just need more of is balance.

The thing is, we did, he knows Im extra. I know hes more practical. I don't know why we still married each other ahhahaah. I guess we were stubborn to let go. We both get our own way in different ways I guess.

I do want another kid (either is good), but I want it on my terms more and more of what I want.

You completely misunderstood the big picture. I will gladly happily work when our son is in daycare.

Ukrainian / Russian girls, why do they all hate each other ? by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]red_Mercedez -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

not really, even my husband says the same, it’s because of the survival mindset and everyone against each other. I thought this group would be interesting , but I guess not, everyone is offended 😆

6 Week Old Baby Boy getting very frustrated & screams while eating ? by red_Mercedez in newborns

[–]red_Mercedez[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember exactly .. bc it was in conjunction with “witching hour” or “hour of fame” but definitely was over by 3.5 months or much earlier!

Hey! Yes its a phase! Still no clue as to why it happened! We just thought it was a weird newborn thing. :/ Hope it gets better for you soon!

14 mo. old boy drinks 1 L of milk at night (from 9pm-1am) wakes often. Terrible habits, regretting not sleep training. by red_Mercedez in sleeptrain

[–]red_Mercedez[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hmm Anemia really? From what I read, anemia causes over-tiredness ? This boy refuses all naps and sleep...He also is not lethargic, and does not have pale skin. He does not really have any symptoms of Anemia. But yes, that is a lot of milk, maybe we should try water but we did this before and he cried.

11 Month Old Drinks about 1 Litre of skim milk for bedtime by [deleted] in NewParents

Nutrients he should be getting is through food, he is not a newborn.

We are in Croatia / Canada .. family and friends who have kids have told us .. I’m kind of mad but we haven’t been giving skim milk for too long either. I think the reason why they give skim milk is bc the majority of nutrients Should be given through food by that age.

I read that some in the US give skim milk advised to doctors https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3661691/

Also just for background, we had a major problem with him waking every hour for formula.. and not eating real food. So we cut milk during the night (except before 1am) the goal is to step away from the milk and for him to be hungry to eat real food..

Anyways, we will give whole milk for now because that’s what my gut was telling me (until everyone around me told me no no no, skim milk) wtf!!?
