    Losing it; 2 y/o awake for hours at a time. How to break the cycle?

    @maxinvasion Probably a stupid question here from a non-dad, but why don't you put her to bed later? I mean, if she's in bed at 7 and wakes a 3, she's gotten 8 hours sleep. How long do you expect her to sleep?

    Dog nipped baby (X-posted)

    @lee5126 I have to disagree with your edit. Having bitten a cat does not translate to biting babies. OP did not ‘know the dog was an issue.’ Yes, it will be OP’s duty to keep this dog away from their baby, but where I live, any healthy dog who bites someone can be held in quarantine for ten days...

    How do you manage grocery requests?

    @joeawilliams123 I alternate. This week she gets pizza pockets, next week she gets instant noodles etc. If one request is a meal and another is a dessert, I get both. I shop in bulk and look for sales. Another suggestion is to make the food at home. I learned to make homemade lasagna, waffles...

    Annoying comments about my son being small

    @pentie2003 Honestly do it. Even if it doesn’t change their stupid comments, at least you get to see the look on their faces when they realize what you’re insinuating.

    People who “diagnose” themselves with fertility issues before they even start trying

    @manitouscott Somewhat off topic but related to some of the comments here, if you’re suspecting PCOS or other health conditions that might inhibit your ability to conceive, I recommend bringing it to your OB for testing as soon as possible. I always suspected PCOS with myself based on my cycles...

    BF v FF shame and “attachment theory”

    @pastorchrisparker I think formula feeding isn't as "sexy" and is kind of demonized these days, so people aren't as vocal about it. I mean, other than immediate family, I have been keeping it on the down low because of the judgement some people would have against me. I just want to avoid the...

    YES I HAVE SIX KIDS. YES I AM PREGNANT WITH NUMBER SEVEN

    @semiprecious I think I would just start announcing that you’ve adopted them all because so many kids need good homes and that’s what Jesus would do. Get smug and self righteous. Fuck them all.

    Dog nipped baby (X-posted)

    @agilefeet OP, if this is recent enough and if you are in the US, you can request the dog be held in quarantine for observation by a veterinarian for ten days at the expense of the dog owner. Even if you choose not to do this, you can use the protocol to remind the dog owner that dog bites are...

    UPDATE: I (24) recently found out I have a 5yo son I never knew about and now he lives with me

    @mercantilewriter Sounds like you know exactly how to be a dad. You’re doing great. Get him involved in reading books. If he’s shy, this will open up a whole new world for him. You can even read him a story at bedtime. Show him how to do simple chores around the house. This will help him feel...

    Annoying comments about my son being small

    @pentie2003 I get this so much from my MIL about my son. Last time I looked at her and said “when I saw baby pictures of your son (his father), I stopped worrying so much because he was so small too!” Lolol I turned that around on her and now she mostly makes comments about how picky he is...

    BF v FF shame and “attachment theory”

    @pastorchrisparker Everything I will comment is (I'm sure) very similar to what has been posted above, but just to reiterate.... I have not felt unattached to my child AT ALL from formula feeding. Feeding is still a special time when we can bond, listen to Disney Baby Guitar lullabies, talk...

    What’s the dumbest thing anyone ever said to you as a twin parent?

    @nathann Some random old lady walking down the road stopped and checked out babies in the stroller. She looked at my wife and asked "How was the delivery?"

    My husband offered me an out yesterday

    @pkhaney I think he’s just burnt out. Depression sucks. He probably is just over stressing. Depression and anxiety tell make you think all sorts of shit like “ they are better off without me.. “ . He may need a different job or to change hours..
