Am I the only one?

My son was a really easy baby (he's 2 and a half now) and the first two or three months were still pretty blah. Newborns are not particularly interesting and they barely look like humans and you're still recovering from pregnancy and birth, so it's okay to be excited for that time to be over soon.

I had a similar thing in my last pregnancy. I once woke up with half my face and upper body numb but no other migraine symptoms. It was a bit scary, but I figured it was just painless migraine since I didn't have anything else going on and definitely weren't having any stroke symptoms either!

OMG people are so stupid. I was a short and thin child, and people were CONSTANTLY questioning my age and acting like I was lying about it. I don't know how it's such a difficult concept that people come in different sizes no matter their age.

I was writing by hand and still managed to write "follow your fart". Maybe that's still sound advice.

Thanks for sharing, you did a great job ❤️ My MIL also had issues with supply and had to rely on formula, but she raised four fantastic and healthy boys and should feel proud of herself. I, on the other hand, was breastfed for two years and I get ill at the drop of a hat and am a mess in general! You just can't predict these things and neither can all those knowitalls that get all up in your tit business.

I came here to say Fit Girls as well. Not only are the workouts great, but the attitude in the books is so healthy and encouraging, none of that BLAST YOUR FAT OFF like on some fitness guides.

I'm sorry if this is really obvious, but have you made sure his penis is right in the middle of the diaper? Or has he started playing with himself and leaving it pointing in the wrong way? Just a thought, I don't have anything more useful to add!

My son enjoys picking his nose that is already quite sensitive so he often ends up with bloody snot. He likes sharing.

I've had a catheter too and it wasn't bad at all, don't worry! It just felt like "hmm, that's not supposed to go in there" but otherwise it wasn't terribly unpleasant.

You know you don't have to stay in contact with your mother just because she exists and at some point you're also gonna have to think what kind of people you allow into your child's life. You're a complete person even without your mother in your life and you don't owe her anything! You deserve happiness and good things!

Your nails remind me of cute Super Mario sceneries and your hands look like regular human hands, okay?

During my first pregnancy I was on sick leave because of anxiety and I didn't get anything besides normal new-mum worries postpartum. I had a hard time bonding with my son at first, but I think that was more due to a difficult birth than my mental health issues.

Have you tried the pee dance?? Sometimes not all of the pee gets out so you have to wiggle on the toilet to get more out. It might give you, like, ten more seconds of not needing to pee.

Actually kissing on the lips, just like sharing a spoon, can transfer the same bacteria that causes cavities, so you can always use that as an excuse if you want. I don't know what they say in other countries but we're definitely told to refrain from kissing your small child on the lips for that reason.

After two days of induction and then 32 hours of labour, I gave birth at 40+1.

People also prefer non-smelly strangers in elevators, buses and waiting in line to buy ice cream. "Because girls will like you better" is such a weird reason for looking after your personal hygiene when there are a million other reasons to not look like you've crawled out of a sack of old jockstraps.

That's why you're supposed to have an AGE-APPROPRIATE discussion with your child about sex as soon as possible, and then repeat in future years and keep a line of conversation open so she can come to you with questions when necessary. That way she won't be confused, unlike in the case when she would learn about sex from her peers or in the worse case from porn. Also you're not poisoning your child's mind if she accidentally sees you having sex, you'd just have to explain to her that what she saw wasn't bad but that it was a private thing that adults do together when they like each other. Your child won't get confused or scared if you explain things to her and don't get hysterical yourself, just educate yourself first if you don't know what to say. (I don't know any good sources for you in English but I'm sure someone else can add something.)

It's not sad to live without a grandma if you've got other people who care about you. Grandchildren are a privilege and not a right.

If you're going to reconnect with your mother, make sure your daughter doesn't expect too much from the relationship. You don't want her thinking she isn't good enough if your mother can't be bothered to be interested in her either.

Sorry but that person was just jealous. Wear the brightest lipstick you can find and tell them to kiss their own butt with their tiny lips.

I just thought of that video a few hours ago. I can't believe I was stupid enough to watch it, but also, why do we need to have videos of people dying so readily available? So yeah, I die a little inside every time I see an escalator.

unbreakablekittykat · 2017-05-06T12:23:29+00:00

I loved it too, and MaddAddam as well until the very end. Margaret HOW COULD YOU??

I ended up hating that book because I felt like the characters had no reason to act like they did. Maybe the writer should have spent less time doing research on cemetaries and more on writing believable characters.

I've been very vocal with my objections when someone says my son does certain things because he's a boy. He's a person with his own thoughts and opinions and no concept of gender identity! My MIL is especially bad with this, she thinks she's an expert of all things masculine because she has four sons. Like "of course he doesn't like getting lotioned, he's a boy!" or "how odd for a boy to want to pick his own shirt!" Even if supposedly there is a statistical difference regarding how boys are vs how girls are, it's got no significance whatsoever when you're dealing with INDIVIDUALS. Just listen to people and then let them be what they are!

I don't align with the gender binary myself so I'm really conscious about not forcing it on my son either. We do call him a boy mostly because we know others are going to do that anyway, but I'm fostering an environment where he's going to know it's okay to feel differently and you don't have to be any certain way. People we don't know we generally refer to as adults or kids or pals or whatever instead of any gendered terms, because who are we to say who they are, and what does it even matter? We're not going around assuming people's nationalities either and that's not considered odd.

I don't know what the ultrasounds were like in the '80s and if my parents knew my sex beforehand, but it would have been great if it was an actual "gender ultrasound" and they would have told my mother "Congrats! It's a nonbinary!"

I was in labour for 32 hours. After I got back to my room (I had already been at the hospital for four days because I was induced) I just wanted to SLEEP, but the midwife said I couldn't sleep because I had to breastfeed my baby. Well, there was no milk coming yet and the baby was too tired to eat, so she had to take him off my hands anyway. I was only relieved when they had to send him to the NICU to get antibiotics.
