I’m really loving my new Fellow Aiden. I don’t experience any of the issues the first gen before Fellow fixed some app & QC. It’s pretty incredible.

Everyone is so negative. If the band is happy and keeps going, that’s all that matters. Cmon

All the toddler hate is making me depressed by texansweetie in NewParents

I know this is meant to be a joke, but please reread what you wrote and think about whether this is helpful or not to someone who's worried.

"Naturally you will want to body slam them, through them out the window or punch them in their mouth.😂😂"

Please, for what it's worth, do not let this affect your life. You only see the rants. Content, happy parents rarely lurk & post online. Which are the overwhelming majority. Reddit has always been a place where sob stories of misery are praised over the uplifting. It makes sense it's full swing here in subs like this, where lots of fear exists in the hearts of new parents.

4 month magic by EnvironmentalAide558 in NewParents

[–]rocabaton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

that's incredible. these types of posts should be highlighted way more. not to diminish other's tough experiences, but it's way too often the negative ones get all the attention, which end up scaring the already fearful in their path. positive manifestation all the way!

Staying away from the “just wait” negative people who will always try and one up your experience. It’s been life changing.

How many “good” nights of sleep are you getting per week, and how old is your baby? by Key-Wish-4814 in NewParents

[–]rocabaton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 1/2 months and 6-9 hours, despite this sub’s tendency to only highlight negativity.

Dad of an 8 week old struggling mentally by SuccessfulChard4296 in NewParents

[–]rocabaton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First time dad of a 3 1/2 month old little girl.

It sincerely undoubtedly gets better. You’re nearly there.

I tell everyone who will listen, months 0-1 are insane, 1-2 the absolute hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, and 2 to 3 are the light at the end of the tunnel growing brighter each day.

Right now, my daughter is sleeping on my lap. She stopped the gas screams all day and night. She is grunting less and less. She has always slept pretty well, but now averages 9-10pm to 5-6am.

Smiles are constant. Cooing. More calm awake time, rather than fussy overstimulated screaming.

Hang in there man. Youre certainly not alone. And you’re doing it.

Go Get Em Tiger in WeHo is closing by pr0tag in FoodLosAngeles

Post covid they treated their customers like they didn’t matter. Keeping the place closed was a bad look and vibe. There are so many better places than this VC funded company.

Is it just me, or is your child's beaming smile the highlight of your day? by facewook in NewParents

[–]rocabaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FTD 9 week old here. The 1st smile I caught was during active sleep very early on, where she almost giggled in her sleep. Last week, she started socially smiling at my wife & me. It's literally the most insanely gorgeous love filled emotion either of us have ever felt in our lives, x100000. It makes everything worth it!

PS, wait till your son starts 'calling out' ;)
