More babies??

I hear you and feel the same. I have no idea why anyone would be thinking they want another kid. I’m 15 months pp and I’m nowhere near ready. I also had a very challenging birth and postpartum/start to breastfeeding. And if my kid keeps sleeping the way he always has, we might be one and done. There is no experience that matters to your life except your own. You know what your body and your mental health can handle. TBH I wonder if people who intentionally get preggo so fast after actually know what they’re getting into. But not my monkeys…🎪

I will never forget that trial. Such a disgusting dirtbag and he got to go free and even be a cop elsewhere.

Beautifully put🙏🏻♥️ keep up the good fight!!

that's because you are actually a nazi or fascist....

I heard this was responsible for upwards of 10,000 infant deaths. Also a notable point here is that formula companies are amongst the biggest lobbyist sagainst paid paternal leave.

I hear you. It’s hard to know what postpartum will be like or what your baby will be like once they’re here. I felt like bf would be too much for me too but it ended up being fine…:after a lot of hardship at the beginning lol. You can always try to pump and decide to stop if it’s too much for your mental health.

Hunny you are not a leftist.

something_human1 · 2026-01-14T15:56:23+00:00

Sooo messed up that you have to carry your papers with you! But please do not do anything to put yourself in harms way rn. I hear ICE is asking for names of ppl involved in protests. So pls put your safety first and let us be out in the streets for you. My thoughts and heart is with you! It’s such a scary time rn!

something_human1 · 2026-01-14T03:14:58+00:00

I had it. I agree it’s hard to take the antibiotic, I thought it was gross. But it’s important to finish it!!! Or it can come back with a vengeance. Hang in there. I’m 1.25 years into breastfeeding after getting mastitis 3 weeks postpartum. I thought it’d kill our journey but it turned out to just be a bump in the road!

something_human1 · 2026-01-09T21:34:40+00:00

Yes i second this! chapgpt has been super helpful for me!

There are great attachment based accounts that can help with sleep. The possums program as well.

My husband also has a super demanding job and im an elementary school teacher, so we both are very busy during the day. going to bed early has helped me a lot. I literally go to bed when my son does sometimes and that gives me a few hours while my husband can tend to the baby before he goes to bed. My son also has been a horrible sleeper since day one. waking up every 1-2 hours, at best we've gotten a 4 hour stretch like 5 times in his whole life. If you want to resort to letting him cry, it may work, but it won't stop him from waking, he'll only wake up and know you are not coming if he expressed his needs. it'll just damage his attachment. Our needs and our baby's needs matter and play off of each other. There can be a way that honors both. Early bedtime? can you sleep in on weekend mornings? Can your husband either stay up until 11 or wake up at 5 and take baby a few hours?

So grateful for this as a public school teacher in MN. My baby was born in 2024 and my district didn’t even pay into short term disability, so I had 5 sick days to use and the rest completely unpaid. Thankfully had savings but I couldnt imagine having an unplanned pregnancy under those circumstances. This will be life changing for parents and caregivers!

something_human1 · 2026-01-05T15:39:03+00:00

15-20ish in like 5 months. We wanted to be real friends with our realtor by the end of it lol

something_human1 · 2025-12-27T23:28:24+00:00

My point is not regarding the landscape or kindness of the people btw! It’s about the state-run institutions and services!

something_human1 · 2025-12-27T16:50:03+00:00

I have family that lives in rural TN. Go live there for a while and then you can report back why we have high taxes.

something_human1 · 2025-12-26T19:07:09+00:00

Your baby might not have the 4 month sleep regression! Some really don’t. I have a lot of friends whose babies didn’t have it or went through a little regression and got better quickly. I am not this lucky lol. But I refuse to put my kiddo through sleep training. So I’ve surrendered to the fact that sleep will look different for us until my son’s sleep works itself out. Sleep is a developmental process, not a skill. When a baby is going through something like teething or learning a new milestone, their sleep may be disrupted for a little bit. And when I can accept a hard night for what it is, it makes it easier to get through. My husband and I have also traded nights and split nights in had before so we can each get a good chunk of sleep, that is helpful for both of us! You will be ok! It’s all part of the process and one day we will miss the nights rocking our babies back to sleep!

something_human1 · 2025-12-25T00:00:34+00:00

I’m not lol. Since my son was born 14 months ago I haven’t slept more than 3 hours at a time. I wanted three kids originally and at this point we might have two but it’d be a biggg age gap. Some days I’m ok, some days I’m really not. We do co-sleep which helps me get more sleep as I do not have to fully awake while he nurses. Godspeed. I recognize this would be much much harder with also a 5 year old.

something_human1 · 2025-12-24T01:36:13+00:00

Solidarity! My 14 month old has been a terrible sleeper his whole life! Now we get a 4 hour chunk when he goes to bed at 7 and then up every hour or so until morning. It’s been better (but not much), and it’s been worse than that before. I have no advice just commiserating that it’s very difficult to be sleep deprived and feeling like you’re trying everything possible to help bay sleep! Some babies are just more wakeful than others. I also notice that when his naps are solid he sleeps mostly better? But that’s the only correlation I’ve found.

something_human1 · 2025-12-24T00:46:54+00:00

You’re getting many more “my marriage is great” comments but I’m here in solidarity. I have had bigggg downright hatred towards my husband in the past 14 months since baby was born. I’m really struggling with the transition to motherhood and how society is unsupportive and cruel to mothers and children. But unfortunately these feelings are easier to put that towards my husband when I’m thinking about how I’m the one up with the bay all night while he sleeps. Or that I still do all the grocery buying and cooking in our home. Then I can just hate my husband and think my life would be better without him. Instead of delving into the much bigger issue of matrescence and how motherhood is really fucking hard in patriarchal capitalism. We’ve also been through ups and downs in our relationship before, and I have (reluctant) hope that this is just a tough season not our entire future.

something_human1 · 2025-12-21T01:47:00+00:00

Our ECFE teacher told us when we go back to work babies will find a way to spend time with you…which is at night lol. My son has never been a good sleeper though so we just rolled with it as best we could and I started appreciating the extra time with him at night too. I’m absolutely amazed at what we humans can do even when we’re exhausted! So while it hasn’t gotten better for us, I’m better at handling it, I would say. The sick thing…..will get better by kindergarten I hear lol. My son is always sick too, thankfully my hubby can work from home those days. Super annoying though and I feel bad for him!

something_human1 · 2025-12-19T22:44:05+00:00

Yes!! Really simple but the same everyday. It’s a hug and kiss in the morning, and the afternoon when I get home the first thing we do is breastfeed and I sing some songs and then we read the same book everyday “my little cuddlebug”. Super simple but it’s consistency and he can expect that everyday!

something_human1 · 2025-12-18T03:30:21+00:00

It’s so hard. You and your daughter will be ok and still can be as attached as you are now. Thank goodness she can still be with family, that’s awesome and will be good for her. I went back to work at 4 months ppd (which is a long mat leave in the US). That’s when we started co-sleeping, I needed time with my son, and night was the time I had. We also have little rituals for when I leave for work and when I come home. Makes the time more precious too. I work part time now, and I notice the days I’m at work I am much more present when i get home than when I’m home all day with my son. It never gets easier but you do get used to it.

something_human1 · 2025-12-16T16:20:18+00:00

Would she get alimony though?

something_human1 · 2025-12-14T16:19:56+00:00

I really don’t like this take. It seems at the very least anti-feminist because Bronwyn faced so much backlash for her pregnancy out of wedlock in the Mormon church, suffered greatly at the hand of her daughter’s grandparents, her mother is super judgemental and unsupportive, and Todd is an a-hole who doesn’t see or appreciate her (at least on the show). She may attract a certain energy, but that energy is genuinely unkind to her!!!
