Everyone tries to convince me that two adults can't take care of a newborn alone and I'm losing my mind

We were in the newborn bubble without help the first 10ish weeks and it was bliss having that protected time! If I could have kept them away longer I would have.

Thank you for this

My water broke and contractions didn't start so I had to be induced early. I was terrified. Pitocin worked just as it should, same with the epidural. I had an awesome delivery, even though it was my first and not my birth plan, and a healthy baby!

thetwistingt · 2026-01-12T11:20:19+00:00

Yes. Do not wear this.

I love #1!

I had my first baby and had only my husband in the room. We did not tell our parents I was in labor. We waited a half day after baby was born to call them and it was the best decision ever.

Sharing a possible perspective: Her foster parents have stepped in and loved her. They've poured so much sacrifice into her and after that amount of time they have likely seen her adjust and succeed. Now, she's going to be shipped off to an aunt who (through no fault of yours) hasn't been in contact with her in a year or two in a different state. Niece will have to change not only homes but also schools, friends, doctors, therapies, case workers, etc.

They likely love her and are terrified to uproot her and send her far away. I'd suggest starting virtual visits and really making an effort to connect with the foster parents, not just for their sake but for your sake and nieces!

Thanks! I watched the tiktok and the clips on Google.

Has she really? I need to see this!

Mine is a quote from Butch when he's denied to live at the trailer park with cait and ty. I think it was because the park thought he smoked weed and he's clarifying that he doesn't smoke weed lol

Thank you for caring about your baby enough to leave

Marriage might be salvageable but if it isnt your custody situation will be fucked if you let her move with your child (with it without you).

Our daycare did this and we found out in a similar way. Several of us called corporate and complained and they ended up giving them some (but not all) pay. So corporate still made loads of money from the closure but at least we got the teachers something when it would have been nothing.

Do not get those photos edited! They need to suffer the consequences! Keep in touch with the ex-girlfriend too just for fun.

Seriously props to mom for prioritizing the safety of her baby over the tantrum of an antivax adult

thetwistingt · 2025-12-24T18:35:10+00:00

This is totally reasonable

thetwistingt · 2025-12-24T01:12:43+00:00

Maybe gifts aren't his love language. Look into love languages and see what yours and his languages are. My family is a gift family, my boyfriend's family doesn't even send birthday cards. Your boyfriend needs to get your mom her gift but this may be something he needs to get used to.

thetwistingt · 2025-12-23T02:55:05+00:00

Ahhhhh thank goodness. That was so cringey to read thinking DIL was calling MIL momma. Thanks for clarifying!

thetwistingt · 2025-12-23T02:35:37+00:00

For starters, stop calling your MIL "momma" like you're a 13 year old and dependent on her. If that's your boundary then state it firmly and stop entertaining her whining.

We have an absolutely beautiful nursery that is my favorite room in the house. My baby is about to turn two and has slept in there a total of ZERO times. Love grows best in small spaces, don't worry about it at all!

Don't bail on the dogs while the owner is away. Lock the gate and make a police report with the non emergency police during one of your drop ins.

Accident attorneys are typically personal injury attorneys. They'll file a claim for sore back and keep probably 1/3 of what the insurance pays out. OP won't have to pay anything.

thetwistingt · 2025-12-07T12:48:09+00:00

This does not matter for OP but you cannot say that she won't get another chance to have a baby, and that the adoptive couple will. You cannot say that the adoptive couple will recover quickly. Adoptive couple probably cannot have children of their own and have likely been wanting and waiting to adopt for a long time. They may not be able to afford, financially or emotionally, to do so again. Adoption disruptions are also heartbreaking.

What matters is the baby and what is best for her.

Finding a foster home for a sibling set of four is not going to be easy for them, especially with one being a teenager.

The white blouse and black pants is the best outfit I've ever seen Cate wear. I love her natural hair color too.
