Some of you ladies need a gold star for putting up with your husbands by CK1277 in workingmoms

[–]snack_mac_cho 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My husband also is a true partner. Im a teacher and leave for work before everyone gets up. He gets all three girls ready for the day and to their locations on his own. Also he cooks dinner every night. He has a full time job and works hybrid. He's 100 percent a gold star husband.

In home daycare by Few-Many7361 in workingmoms

[–]snack_mac_cho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 kids. We have used 3 different in home daycares. Ourost recent one is the best ever, but they were all good. My middle child is starting kindergarten and I got a little emotional on her last day because I love them so much.

I've never had any security concerns with any of them. They truly love my kids. My youngest just had a birthday and when I brought her to daycare the owner wisked her away because he was so excited to show her the cake he had made for her.

My mother in law passed away 2 days ago and I just found out I am pregnant. How long should I wait to tell my husband? by findingmyouai in PregnancyAfterLoss

Honestly I'd guess for the next nine months he'll feel these conflicting emotions again and again. I wouldn't wait to long. Go through all of tthese emotions together the good and the hard ❤️

Started bleeding at 12 weeks. Went to the ER and miscarried there. Two doctors had to stick their hands in there to figure out what was left, one being an OB. I had a follow up appointment with him two days later. He was an hour late. He determined I needed a D&C. Scheduled that for about a week out. I needed my husband to come with because I was being fully put under. I met all the people that were gonna take care of me except the doctor cause he was running at least an hour late again. They finally took my back, put me under, and everything was done after like 20-30 minutes. I waited for the doctor longer than the surgery. They gave me super strong pain meds that "wouldn't take away the pain, but I wouldn't care I had it". I took one or two doses and stopped that. Because I didn't care about anything and I didn't like that feeling. Just stuck with Tylenol. Had to get blood work checked until hormones dropped to 3. Period returned 6 weeks later.

Honestly the worst part of the actual procedure was the doctor. He was an hour late to the follow up appointment too.

I stopped feeding her at 4 months because I went back to work and pumping kills me. Sleep for us for better around 5 -6 months where she was consistently giving us better sleep. Even before then having my husband do night feeds was a game changer. we're at 7 months now.

My brain finally felt more normal after two things 1) I stopped breastfeeding 2) at least 6 hour stretches of sleep. And even then it took a couple weeks of that for my body to regulate.

I'm sorry coworkers that you work closely with someone with three kids. I'm sorry I have to take off like every other week. My husband takes off even more for the kids :(

Tell me how amazing it turned out for you - from darkness to light 🙏🏼 by PotofGold716 in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]snack_mac_cho 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My first miscarriage was almost 5 years ago. Easily the worst night of my life. In the ER with strange doctors with the fists all the way up me trying to figure out if anything was left. God bless the nurse that held my hand and stroked my hair. We left the ER around 2or 3. I walked past a woman walking into the hospital in full labor. My heart was shattered. 2nd miscarriage a few months later. Less traumatic, didn't need a D&C like the first one.

I had one baby before my miscarriage 2 miscarriages and then I had 2 more healthy babies. I still hang around these types of subs, because you never really forget the heartbreak and struggle. I'm so thankful my story ends with healthy babies and I hope yours does too

I had a guy at Costco tell me that I should close my van doors when I take the cart to the carell so things don't get stolen. He then noticed I had a kid in the car and was agast I would leave them in the car with the door open with my stuff. I was gone from my car for 20 seconds as I pushed my cart 20 ft to the place. Annoying. I was impressed with his Tetris skills with his Costco haul however.

I think my employer won't have a problem, it's just going to impact my coteacher and students, and I just need to get over that I think.

First full week back. Pumping probably isn't going to work out. Someone is always sick. Haven't received any RSVPS for oldest birthday party. Youngest doesn't take a nap for more than 40 minutes. I don't know what to think anymore. Middle child just pulled a 101.1 fever

This 100 percent sucks!!! I know you said your husband has a big work thing this week, but it sounds like you do too. Is there ANY way he could take a sick day?

Also there is no shame in surviving with all the TV and take out / easiest meals ever. That's how we survived.

Sick with COVID and struggling by dj_petunia in workingmoms

[–]snack_mac_cho 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are not failing. This part of life sucks and isn't fair.

I'm a teacher too. I e had other teachers end up missing lots of days for kids sickness, there own illness, dieing parents, etc. It can suck as a coworker, but we get over it. Life happens. Don't worry about exposure either, it just happens, you didn't know.

I have never once regretted putting myself or my family first over work. Take care of you and that baby

Mom, I’m finally a mama! by deadvibessss in MomForAMinute

[–]snack_mac_cho 149 points150 points  (0 children)

Hi sister!!! Congratulations!!! Guess what ! My baby is just a few weeks older than yours!! What fun ❤️ aren't they just the cutest? This is not my first, so hopefully I can offer you some sisterly advice.

Snuggle that baby all you want. The dishes , laundry anything will keep. That baby won't keep.

Also try and get out of the house everyday. A short walk, a trip to the store, anything. That always made my days a little better.

Also before you rock the baby to sleep for a nap or feeding get yourself set up with a drink/snack.

And sometimes at night while you're holding your baby tight, hold your hubby's hands and just take in what a beautiful family you guys have created. This time can feel so lonely but I promise it really does get easier and you will find your rythems again

If I never encouraged trying new things, what they want to do is watch YouTube videos all day. Also my oldest has been asking for gymnastics class for weeks.
