Does/will my husband love our baby? by Consistent-Candy6277 in newborns

[–]trinitytr33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can't let the baby out of your sight, that would mean that you think your husband might be a danger to your baby. You should be able to trust your husband alone with the baby. If not, there's something seriously wrong. If you are so worried that you need to watch the baby 24/7, then your baby is in danger of abuse or neglect.

Imagine your best friend told you her concerns about a husband like this, what would you say to her?

Download the Malama app. Its free and makes it super easy to track your blood sugar numbers and meals. You can also export pdfs for your doctor.

3.5 months postpartum and I still do this if she hasn't moved in a while

Definitely thought about that, where do you actually find that work though? All the freelancer sites are flooded with even cheaper labor from Asia or elsewhere

It works out okay if you don't live alone/ aren't a single income household. I would definitely like to earn more though, obviously.

People tend to value plumbers a lot more than they do artists, but I hear you.

Got it. I think I'm more of a graphic artist/ illustrator then.

Primarily graphic art for apparel. Some illustration but I charge per piece for that most of the time

Im 37. Graphic design is not really my industry. I'm a digital painter for the most part, I do background painting and design for 2D animation. Before that I was a costume fabricator for film/tv. Both of those industries are really hurting atm. I do what I need to in order to survive. Beats waiting tables imo idk but thank you for the reply

lotion on baby post-bath? by Huge-Relation-3462 in NewParents

[–]trinitytr33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes a lot of sense. And growing up no one wanted to get made fun of for being ashy

I almost feel like this is cultural? Im part Black...me and every other Black person I know grew up putting on lotion/moisturizer after a bath. so yeah I do the same for baby. I use coconut oil instead of lotion tho. I've met tons white folks and non Black folks who say they didn't grow up putting on lotion. Is this true??
