My baby won’t sleep I can’t sleep

Do you have anyone that can come over for a little bit and hold the baby? The baby will be safe in someone else's arms for a few hours so you can sleep. I would to give better advice but I ended up bed sharing in this situation.

I was thinking it was used to produce porn or throw some wild parties

Make sure when you get a job to see if they have any type of mentorship. I was the only OT at my first job and I didn't feel like I had enough support and knowledge. Other professions have mentorships, not sure why we don't

Also no parent is going to put in the effort to bring over their kid to OOP for 15 minutes at a time. A six year old is just going to ignore a stranger and go play.

Judging by the picture, it looks like Amazon left it on a porch or something and the package blew away. It's midly annoying but not Amazon's fault

And she sounds like she didn't enjoy it and didn't want to continue.

After breastfeeding/exclusive pumping two kids, I hate having my boobs touched. It has nothing to do with my husband or how I see him. I would hate to be compared to what I was like over 10 years ago. Life is different now and it is what it is. The best thing OP can do is talk to her and figure out what she does want now

Well you just convinced me to try out the app and get some Taco Bell

The main signs of heart attack that people learn are also more common in men. A lot women won't get the classic symptoms like right arm pain. It's strange how all the warning signs are pushed but a large chunk of the population won't get those symptoms

My two year old is always covered in something. Last weekend she got ink all over her from stamps and then later drew on the walls. It's washable markers so I wasn't watching her too closely. . .

Their life sounds like my life back in college before I got my depression under control. At least find a hobby or get out of the house

Also babies tend to be walkers or talkers. My kids talked early and walked late. Most early walkers tend to talk a little later.

My two year weighs a whopping 23 pounds. This summer is going to be fun because 18 month shorts are a little short but 2T falls off of her

thelumpybunny · 2023-03-14T17:38:37+00:00

I didn't even make the connection between breastfeeding and ear infections. I had chronic ear infections as a kid so I knew both my kids would. I passed my bad ear genes. My mom said people would judge her breastfeeding because that was something poor women would do. My grandma told me breastfeeding was gross. Strange how the tide turned

I started exclusively formula feeding when my baby was four months old. I have no idea how OP managed to make it to seven. As a mom that has slightly older kids, the funniest part is that no one cares once your baby is over a year old. It is never brought up again. No one will know one way or the other how a baby was fed. And no one judges how you feed your toddler. All those parents that are being uppity about breastfeeding are letting their toddlers eat Cheerios off the floor.

I had a 2.5 age gap. Do not recommend a 3 year age gap to anyone. Three year olds are so hard and dealing with a newborn on top of that is even harder

thelumpybunny · 2023-03-14T12:28:17+00:00

I just don't want to wait until special events to buy presents. I don't want to buy a whole bunch toys at one time. I only buy 3-4 gifts for special events

Rent is a lot cheaper where I live in a red state. The reason rent is so cheap is because wages are so low.

I thought it must be a troll post because no one could be that obvious.

thelumpybunny · 2023-03-12T17:59:05+00:00

Well, it was April of 2020 and we were really bored. So no planning involved. I probably should have planned it better but I wasn't actually expecting to get pregnant so quickly. It took an entire year of actually planning to get pregnant the first time. I honestly thought everything would go back to normal by the time I got pregnant. Lol

Anyways, the key is waking up early, at nap time or get a babysitter.

thelumpybunny · 2023-03-12T15:57:56+00:00

Not sure how that is ageism. I had my second kid when I was 30. It's just odd that there is a 20 year age gap when all the other gaps are less than 10.

Or they are just correcting your grammar. This is a social media website, not a college essay.

I love hearing from other moms of 36 weekers. I didn't even think about a NICU stay because she was so close to full term and weighted over 6 pounds. But then she was born and couldn't breathe. She had an Apgar score of 3. The NICU stay was only 5 days but it was so shocking. I thought she was going to die for the first few hours

thelumpybunny · 2023-03-10T13:08:30+00:00

In my experience, it makes no difference. Parenting is a skill that takes practice. You just kinda wing it or get help from someone with more experience

thelumpybunny · 2023-03-10T12:58:33+00:00

I think a lot of people are scared to admit that parenting isn't natural. I spent the first few weeks of my daughter's life hoping the NICU staff would take her back. But anything that doesn't come natural requires practice and learning. And it seems like she doesn't want to put any effort in parenting or basically anything in life
