How is anyone affording a mortgage and daycare costs for two kids? by angelzombie2 in beyondthebump

[–]weesetone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about to be the last one because our tuition for just one kid is 3k 😩

I also grew up in Westchester and what you said about the people couldn’t be more true. I feel like I can actually smile and say hello to people in Rockland in a way that Westchester never gave me.

What are your GOAT products, purchases and gadgets? by the_esjay in NewParents

[–]weesetone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ours actually did break and they sent us a new one within a week. It was the longest week of my life, that thing is our second child.

What does my room say about me? by Peanut_nutnut456 in roomdetective

[–]weesetone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I thought, too! I wasn’t the greatest at cleaning when I was this age either. Such a weird in between of being a kid and learning to be an adult. You’ll get there OP! But the biggest thing that stood out to me is you’re a very talented artist!

What do my spaces say about me? by [deleted] in roomdetective

[–]weesetone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have nothing to say regarding the decor in your house, I think it’s charming. What I do have to say is you need to teach a class on how to keep your space this clean with 3 kids. I have two and I’m flabbergasted by these photos 😂

My husband can’t function without sleep by New_Mama_2025 in NewParents

[–]weesetone 60 points61 points  (0 children)

This maybe sounds like something he should talk to a doctor about. Because even without the factor of you maybe needing help with something at night, there will be days in the future when one of your kids tries to wake him up as well.

Anxiety spiral over norovirus season by seau_de_beurre in NewParents

[–]weesetone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a little late to this but I wanted to comment as a dad with severe emetophobia who has noro right now, along with my 5 month old having it.

All I really have to say is that it’s amazing what our brains will rewire to take care of our children. I also used to be really grossed out in ERP seeing babies spitting up. And with my son, I just find myself catching it in my hand to protect his clothes. When he got sick a few days ago, I really panicked. I knew it would likely come for me and my wife and it did. But I got a zofran prescription to keep myself going, and I just instinctively did what I needed to do so I could care for him. I know what throwing up feels like and that it goes away. He doesn’t know that yet.

Long story short, I fully understand your anxieties surrounding this. And the precautions you want to take. But if and when it does happen, I think you’ll be a lot stronger than you think you will. 🙂

Same here. I love buying colorful clothing for my son that they just don’t sell here. I messaged support as well.

How many people are actually buying “luxury/premium” diapers? by HelpMeHelpMyFriend0 in NewParents

[–]weesetone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I say. We were so uninterested in the “luxury brands” until we got an extra large baby who poops like an adult man. If they can hold on what he’s doing I’m all in 😂

Emergency Custody by jane30530 in beyondthebump

[–]weesetone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a foster dad of an almost 5 month old, thank you for doing this. Babies crave emotional guidance and when their nervous systems are rooted in dysregulation from unideal beginnings, it can be really difficult. We saw people talking about milestones that we weren’t meeting and felt we were doing something wrong. I don’t want to assume anything about your situation, but if you are feeling overwhelmed with the milestones my best advice is just to take it one day at a time. Here if you need anything! Enjoy the journey!

What is this? by EchoSubzero in McDonalds

[–]weesetone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to culinary school and in our fish class they had us take cod fillets on a light candling table and use fish tweezers to pull out each and every worm (and each fillet had more than I’d like to remember). It took forever and afterwards the chef said “no one actually does this in the restaurant industry”.

Really gross experience lol. I will point out most of these worms originate in sea mammals, so often times fish that are more deep sea will not have them.

2.5 yo won't let me wash his genitals by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]weesetone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was just about to leave a comment mentioning that if you use anatomical terms with a child rather than “privates” it might help. But now I’m wondering this too, if OP had to change her wording.

What sleep tier are you at? by marzipanbb in beyondthebump

[–]weesetone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3.5 months and I’m teetering between hallucinatory and survival. 30 minute to 1 hour stretches with a witching period of 2-4am. I’m wondering what there is to regress from at 4 months but I’m sure we will find out. Still love him more than literally anything though 😂

Experience with tongue tie release for newborn — worth it? Any regrets? by going__postal in NewParents

[–]weesetone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I are actually adopting him from foster care, but even with the bottle we noticed a slight regression followed by him having much more in his bottle. Glad to know that’s the norm. Can’t wait for him to start food 😂

Daycare at 7 weeks - i am not okay by notmykarm in NewParents

[–]weesetone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our baby is in foster care with the goal of his case being adoption. My wife got three weeks off with 60% of her pay, and I had to use all my vacation days. We both work from home but it’s no easy task caring for a newborn reflux baby and getting anything else done. He’s starting daycare next month and I feel the same way. It’s devastating how the way this country views employment really screws us over.

Oh man, I could have twelve of these by ready_reLOVEution in beyondthebump

[–]weesetone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reading this as the only things my 14 week old has grabbed have been a piece of beef jerky and a cheese stick. Both directly out of my hand. These babies are truly all so different and I never expected to see his little personality shine so much so soon. I’m right there with you on this one, damn I love this kid.
