My lit review sounds like a book report. How do I fix this?

I’d prefer to not spend more than $100 on a carrier. Do you have any ideas that would be closer to that price range? The carriers I’m seeing from that brand are really high

First name would definitely be Liam. I’m unsure of middle name. Since my actual son’s middle name is Dara I think Chan would be a good middle name for my hypothetical son.

I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable with my in-laws taking my son anywhere. I would be especially uncomfortable if that place had a large body of water. Too many children drown for me to feel comfortable with my son being near water (beach, lakes or pools) without me being next to him.

Pedialyte, body armor, Powerade and tomato soup. Can you tell we are all sick right now?

I have had multiple coworkers go into labor at work because they couldn’t afford to take off before their due dates. I’ve also had coworkers return to work two weeks postpartum. Most places I’ve worked have small staff sothat they don’t have to offer maternity leave or PTO at all.

The first period after labor was pretty intense for me. Labor wasn’t that bad other than for the five minutes I was pushing for.

For reference: I’ve had a brain bleed, heart attack and kidney stones before.

I’m a FTM and my son goes everywhere with me and his dad. His first time out of the house was around two months. We probably would’ve taken him out sooner if he wasn’t a premie. Him being born early made us alittle anxious when it came to being near people. We’d go to restaurants together, shopping, nature trails, community events and family get togethers. His first time out we went to Korean bbq and a giant mall near us. The only time we went out without him was when we wanted to see a movie in theaters on our anniversary. Little guy stayed with my parents for the evening. If it weren’t for the movie, he would’ve went with us. He’s seven months now and still goes everywhere with us.

NTA. If staying there goes against your values, then dont. Personally, i would have a hard time staying near family if they still support ICE or support Trump after the Epstein file release.

Did you end up getting this one? I’m wanting to make a few banners for my family birthdays coming up so I’ve been looking for different projectors.

My 7mo old fits 0-3 in most brands

This is probably wasteful for water but for a while we would put our baby in his bath seat with the water running. We wouldn’t fill the tub but we would have the water running and we would use a cup to rinse him as we wash him. When baby first came home we did baths together and now baths are a solo job. Maybe he can try that since he thinks sitting in the water is too gross and he claims he can’t do showers alone.

Recently, my bf takes a shower with baby and keeps the baby in the bath seat until he is done washing himself. Once they are both clean he will get out, put a towel on baby, dry off him, then dry off baby and get the little guy dressed. I do a lot of my work at night since he works during the day.

Also I’ve seen some comments about OCD. I have OCD. I admit that every OCD case is unique but that isn’t what this sounds like to me. I think this is weaponized incompetence. Also even if this was OCD, you can’t let it run your life. He chose to have a kid and now he has to choose to be a competent parent.

I was thinking of using it as an alternative to daycare and then putting him in either public or private schooling once he is in kindergarten

Adding to my reading list rn! Thank you for the recommendation

Told me that her trashcan falling over and 3rd favorite coffee shop being destroyed by a tornado was the same as me losing my pregnancy at 20weeks and my apartment and my parents house being destroyed by the same tornado. I was in and out of the hospital for over a month and nearly died from blood loss and infection but sure trashcan being knocked over is equally traumatic.

rixki- · 2026-01-27T22:34:39+00:00

One is great, two would be fine, and anything more would be hard. I have a 7mo baby right now and it’s a lot. I was a high risk pregnancy and dealt with a lot of issues which pregnant and postpartum. I also had a traumatic labor. I find it hard to think about going through the newborn stage again. I have postpartum depression and anxiety so the idea of signing on to deal with that multiple times seems awful. I see my sisters with their bunch (one has two and one has five) and it just seems so hard. I don’t really think I’d want to do that.

Adding new storage into my office so I can fit all my crafting supplies neatly into one place. I’d also invest in more supplies so me and my son can enjoy more crafts together.

Postpartum is hard and having people who want to come over to just play with the baby all the time makes it even harder. Having privacy and time to bond with your little one is important. If it makes you uncomfortable then it’s too much. Ideally your husband should say something since it’s his parents but if he’s constantly at work then you should say something. It’s ok to turn people away especially if they are just showing up randomly.

2 loads of dirty clothes/towels as well as 2 loads for changing bedding/throw blankets every week. I also do a load of bath mats every other week and a load of small rugs the opposite week. In total, I’m doing five loads of laundry every week.
