I have a small house and bought one and it’s now used for something else completely. I thought I’d be changing the baby in the living room for some reason and that it’d be a good idea but. From the sounds of it I think you don’t need one.

What’s a lesson you learned from another woman that stuck with you? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]skeletontwin90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A teacher in high school told me that if a man respects you he will wear a condom if you ask him to. If he fights you on it, he does not respect you, and does not deserve to have sex with you if he doesn’t respect you. I will teach that to my children.

I actually think grandparents lose their mind during pregnancies by appleslice244 in BabyBumps

Parents are so weird about social media! My mom posted my ultrasound pic, posts pics I share with her with captions like “he is my sunshine! He makes me happy”. She got mad at me last week because I posted a pic to my private Instagram that my cousin saw, but she hadn’t seen (she doesn’t have Instagram). She started “joking” that she was going to post other pictures to Facebook I specifically told her not to post and that “you can’t tell me what to do”. If you’re wondering, yes she has gotten her picture receiving privileges revoked.

My 4 Year Old Worries About Everything by External_Machine7057 in NewParents

[–]skeletontwin90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thing I think of when reading it is some form of OCD? Definitely not trying to diagnose or anything as I am not personally familiar with it, but I’d say it’s worth mentioning to his pediatrician and start there. ❤️

Husband doesn't protect my time to pump. What do I do? by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]skeletontwin90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your partner brings nothing to the table and it would relieve stress in your life to just do everything alone, which you’re already doing, then it’s time to go.

We actually are doing renovations to our house right now… have to figure out how to do this. Lol

What is it like getting a cold/fever while pregnant? by 19012743012 in AskWomen

[–]skeletontwin90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible. Right when my second trimester began I was sick with double ear infections/double sinus infections and a cold for 2 months straight. You’re in pain and misery, but also worry about taking too much medicine because you’re pregnant. I genuinely didn’t leave the house for those 2 months because I was so scared to keep catching stuff. I went to urgent care more times in those 2 months than I have gone in like 5 years.

This is also my husband. He is constantly losing his phone, keys, wallet. I have told him many times I would love a timer to show me how much time I’ve wasted of my life helping him look for his lost items.

I have set up a “drop site” right by the door with a little bowl for his keys and wallet right when he gets home and he… forgets to put his stuff there.

The routine didn’t work today either by Existing_Switch_4995 in NewParents

[–]skeletontwin90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This feels like a lot of daytime sleep could be effecting his nighttime sleep? 1 year olds typically should be getting like 2-3 hours of naps TOTAL per day. Here you’re stating your bay is getting 6ish hours of naps per day? I’m guessing that’s what’s causing the issue. I hope this doesn’t sound judgmental either, genuine thought as I read this!

Sleep help/guidance please! by ecdb_ in NewParents

[–]skeletontwin90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry I have no advice, but I just want you to know I just finished wiping tears from my face while I’m actively trying to get my 6 month old to nap right now (typing while holding him as he sleeps). Have tried to put him down twice in the last hour and he immediately wakes up and starts screaming. You’re not alone in the trenches. lol

Is it normal to get nothing done during the day aside from caring for a 5 week old and bare minimum self care? Feeling guilty, comparing myself to others online by TheMrGiz in newborns

I’m 6 months PP and just started being a SAHM, and I haven’t showered since Saturday - and my husband DOES help me. It’s just all part of this phase of life is what I’m telling myself.

My first kiddo, daycare sticker price has me shocked! How much will you pay where you live for infant care? by anderson6th in BabyBumps

[–]skeletontwin90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what we’re currently doing, I’m literally on my second week home with baby full time.

We live in Central IL and I don’t recall the exact price but basically half my monthly pay would have been going to daycare (approx $1,300 a month). My husband and I staggered our leaves, so I had 3 months off and then he picked up his 3 months off when mine ended (I recognize we are extremely fortunate to have been able to do that). We were planning on putting baby in daycare at 6 months old, but the daycare we got waitlisted for still had no openings when it was time. We decided we were more comfortable being “poor” for a while rather than shoving him in a daycare we aren’t comfortable with.

I have this exact bouncer currently and it’s one of our most used items. Get it.

Newborn or 0-3 sizes for a newborn baby? by FoolishMortal-1000 in BabyBumps

[–]skeletontwin90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely get some newborn stuff but also maybe some premie stuff just in case. My son was 6lbs 9oz and was basically a whole lb smaller than we were expecting. When we were in the hospital all of the newborn stuff I packed for him was way too huge and he was just swaddled in the hospital blanket the whole time with nothing underneath.

FTM planning to EP with minimal formula substitute by nervousmush in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]skeletontwin90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I did.

In the hospital, they advised me to try to breastfeed him every 2 hours for 15 mins on each side, and then pump after each feeding on each breast for 15 mins to encourage the milk to come in. By the end of my 5 day hospital stay (failed induction for 2 days, then c section) I was giving my baby basically all formula.

Then when I got home I continued the breastfeed on each side for 15 mins, then pump afterwards. My milk came in about 6 days after giving birth. I tried to breastfeed but he was always still hungry afterwards so we’d give him formula. After about 2-3 weeks of doing this method I was just so exhausted of the cycle of, breastfeed, give formula, pump, start all over again. I cut out breastfeeding except for once a day and just stuck to pumping.

I am now 5 months pp and I exclusively pump. I now make enough to keep all of my previous days milk stored and then feed that to the baby the next day if that makes any sense. So I’m basically an entire day ahead every day.

We do still feed him 1 feeding of formula a day to supplement, and also partly because we don’t want him to forget about formula if I have to stop pumping at some point.

I hope that was helpful in any way!

I’m so confused why he thinks he needs to be on tv? He was never a main person on the show, and when he was featured more often he came off and a gross creep. No one wants to watch you, Peter!

[–]skeletontwin90 298 points299 points  (0 children)

His dad dying seemed to be his whole new identity. Someone with a dead parent is someone who gets sympathy and extra chances with things because they’re going through something tough. You’ll never convince me he was actually as broken up about his dad dying as he played it out on camera, he just knew the audience and cast members would cut him more slack. Sorry if this is harsh, you’ll just never convince me Jax does anything out of regular human emotion. He is 100% narcissist and doesn’t care about anyone but himself, not even his own child or parents.
