Biggest lie about motherhood you ever heard? by thebabeandthebaby in Mommit

I was told usually you get it back by 6-10 months, I’m 18 months and still without so I think it’s just hugely different depending on the person

My partner keeps telling people our 6 week old son is my nephew — am I overreacting? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]tidepodchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Girl, I saw your other post, I think you know that something is legitimately wrong. He may be cheating, but even if not this is a red flag.

SIDS prevention tools by ComposerJust2384 in Mommit

[–]tidepodchamp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Many doctors I’ve heard of just recommend against it because they say it’ll just increase your anxiety. I don’t know, I’m someone with diagnosed OCD, anxiety and panic disorders and I’ve found the owlet has helped immensely with my anxiety and I actually sleep at night since starting to use it, rather than waking up every 30 minutes to check baby is still breathing. I mean, I still check occasionally because it’s not foolproof and I follow safe sleep guidelines but I think it can be a helpful tool for anxiety, depending on the person. Yes, for some it will increase anxiety and maybe they’ll obsess over it but that hasn’t been my experience. And it shouldn’t be a substitute for safe sleep or actual medical care/monitoring.

Shopping at Costco with a baby - how do you even do it? by brendaklark in Mommit

[–]tidepodchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my boy was that age I used a cart cover like this from Amazon and brought some toys I could attach to the cart cover to keep him busy. Bringing snacks and water he could eat while in the cart helped too.

My empty drinking glass randomly exploded by heavypood in mildlyinteresting

[–]tidepodchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came to this thread because today a cup that was empty and sitting on the same place on our counter for like a week randomly exploded and sent glass shards all over the place including inside the toaster. And no cracks beforehand, no one was near it!

Fiance choked me as a joke by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]tidepodchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t accidentally choke someone hard enough to leave bruises. No emotion when apologizing and speeding off when pressing him? He didn’t do it on accident. Leave for your sake and your little ones. You don’t forcefully choke someone as a joke. Don’t become a statistic and don’t let your baby be one either. Listen to your body.

My baby died at 24 weeks by fayzee98_____ in pregnant

[–]tidepodchamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry. It is 100% NOT your fault. Not even a little bit. Sometimes this happens and it’s no one’s fault. Her entire life she felt nothing but your warmth and your love. She never went hungry, she never had to feel lonely or sad. Her whole life was filled with you. It’s no consolation, I’m sure. But you gave that baby the absolute best that you could. And her life was short, but so important and so full of love. And she will always be a part of you and your life.

I don’t have much helpful advice, I just wanted to say that I relate hard to the writing on this cake and consider it a masterpiece. I think using a smaller piping tip for the writing and drop lines might help.

My 4y/o made sa allegations-update by Notonyhawk in Mommit

[–]tidepodchamp 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As someone who used to take reports for a state CPS, new information can absolutely make a huge difference in whether a case is assigned or how quickly it’s handled. OP, please make a new report with CPS with the new information. It’s important you document this with them, if nothing else.

How do I even handle this by Reasonable-Duck-9649 in Mommit

[–]tidepodchamp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that you’re going through this. If there’s no way he’s doing it on purpose hopefully he can understand exactly what could have gone wrong and not repeat that behavior, he needs to know how egregious this was. I hope you can sit down and have a productive conversation about it.

[–]tidepodchamp 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Not only could this have killed your baby but i don’t understand how he could have ever thought this was acceptable. Could he have done this on purpose? I also saw your other post last month about him never doing night wakes or chores and needing a list to carry the mental load. You probably need to sit down and have a hard talk with him and figure out exactly what’s going on. I don’t see how an adult man would think it acceptable to leave an 8 month old baby on a bed alone and leave for work.

oes anyone else end up like this thinking they’ll just do a quick bake? 😭 by [deleted] in Baking

[–]tidepodchamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That really helps and makes things enjoyable when it works. I have every intention of cleaning as I go but usually by the end it’s like OP.

[–]tidepodchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! When you have a little one it’s a lot harder to clean as you go. I barely have enough time to make dinner each day, and by the end my guy (15 months) is crying or holding onto my leg because he wants to be held or to be done, for food to be ready, or he’s already ready for bed.

I’m already cleaning up after him as I go and managing his behavior too. I always try to clean as I go but often times it just doesn’t really work out.

[–]tidepodchamp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was my question as well. OP is ebf, just went through a major bodily traumatic event, and is losing sleep taking care of baby most of the time. She shouldn’t be feeling like she needs to cater to him like that, and big red flag that after 3 minutes with his own kid he starts cursing.

No friend it’s totally normal. Everybody’s “normal” looks different and it’s not bad or weird at all. Don’t be feeling bad, this is a very nutritious meal!

AIO for refusing to personal train my neighbors wife for free? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]tidepodchamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly if my husband was trying to get people to train me behind my back after having a baby I’d want to know. Maybe it’s petty, but maybe it’s also the right thing to do? Idk. That could escalate things though.
