    I did it. I left him. I am not okay

    @panictopeace I'm so proud of you for leaving. It's going to take time, please please please hang in there. It took me a week or so for the constant panic to subside. My God, the freedom. You're going to feel SO FREE. So much LIGHTER. It's so much easier when you don't have to worry about...

    Unmedicated birth advice

    @catholic2001 Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth. It has been great at getting me into the overall mindset for birth, not to fear it, coping mechanisms and overall looking forward to it as a spiritual experience.

    My supervisor didn’t say I was ok to take the day before my planned c-section off…?

    @qork “I will not be here on Wednesday as I’m preparing to deliver the next morning, I’ll let you know when I’ll be back after my maternity leave”. It’s not asking, it’s telling.

    Baby Names

    @aniko Where do the Brady and Thomas come from, are they family names? Personally, Morgan Thomas sounds the best to me, which isn’t on your list but if Thomas is a family name, it fits better and sounds nicer than some of the others, at least to me!

    Do you think she's hungry? (Rant)

    @ravenblue Not a 3 week old. Gas, temperature, and maybe poop. Usually hunger. Or colic.

    Got an 'answer' for my "next level" velcro baby. I was too stressed while pregnant.

    @nazpastor Try baby wearing. Will hopefully give you your hands back during the day

    The 'not your birthday present' tradition my M.I.L started

    @jackiecline Kids are always going to be disappointed on a siblings birthday. Little gifts help alleviate that. It's not going to damage them, everyone grows out of wanting a huge fuss anyway. It's not unhealthy, but it is extra work and expense. If your family is operating at the edge already...

    Do you think she's hungry? (Rant)

    @luv100 She probably is hungry, even if she just ate 40 minutes ago. With few exceptions, most newborns cry because they are hungry.

    How do you manage grocery requests?

    @joeawilliams123 Hahaha I had to ban him from having them in his room! Just constantly eating the damn candy canes, how?

    Dads breaking generational abuse, how do you discipline your kids?

    @utay62 My old man was a bully. He wasn't abusive because he believed discipline was important to, or because I was that bad a kid, or because physical intention was the last resort he had to go to. He was and still is a bully because he's a bit of a narcissist. He has a terrible sense of self...

    Do you consider it "taboo" for a boy to see the diaper changing of his baby sister?

    @knorvy10 His mother has issues. She’s wrong. Changing a baby’s diaper is natural and it has nothing to do with “shame”. Sheesh! Your husband needs to get into the the 21st century.

    How do you manage grocery requests?

    @joeawilliams123 Yeah mine loves the junk food! Last year his secret Santa in class asked him what to buy because she couldn’t think of anything, and he asked for candy canes. She bought him a pack of 50 from a bulk discount store. FML.

    When did you stop tracking everything for baby (e.g., nursing sessions, wet/soiled diapers, sleep duration, etc.)?

    @christiangirl94 We stopped tracking at 1 year for both. But We do track medicine. Both kids are taking RX, so it helps.

    How DH “does the laundry”

    @elle9406 My husband can't remember to do the laundry and I can't bring myself to fold it. So over the years it's become a mix of I sort, wash and dry and he folds .....now if only we could figure out how it gets put away!😜🤣

    Dog nipped baby (X-posted)

    @agilefeet I also want to say babies are not the same as kids. A dog can be fine with kids but see babies as a threat to their position

    How do you manage grocery requests?

    @joeawilliams123 Mine got braces last week and that seems to have worked pretty well! But at other times, he gets some say in the 2 snacks and lunch he takes to school (like he picks the fruit and the muesli bar flavour or whatever), and he chooses what he wants for 2 lunch items for the...
