    "pUt YoUr BaBy DoWn GrOgGy BuT aWaKe"

    @robert777 My life got significantly better when I gave up on what I "should" be doing and leaned in on what my baby seemed to need. He is 9 months and we nurse to sleep and I have no regrets!

    Any and all crying feels damaging

    @omadaze When I'm angry I don't want to be touched. My toddler is the same, so we give him space (when we can) and let him come to us.

    Income keeps going up but husband doesn’t want to outsource any chores

    @gembeldolar I had that problem with my husband and I convinced him eventually. My arguments: - Right now we are in a really stressful time in our life (toddler years) and this wouldn't be forever. We can test it out and re-evaluate yearly - He might not care as much but the state of the house...

    TIL It’s ok to have a drink or 2 and breastfeed! No need to pump and dump! 😊

    @sherryamber I just got married and definitely drank more than I intended (including tequila) and breastfed. I didn't feel drunk and it was a one-off event so I'm hoping that it was OK but definitely feeling guilty now. And wondering if anyone in my family/friends thinks I'm a bad mum because of it.

    Why is overworking a flex?

    @atlkate That's so annoying! Can you bloke your afternoon in your calendar? I've started blocking my lunch break as if it was a meeting so that people didn't book meetings at that time. Are you in the office or WFH? If WFH and you don't feel comfortable blocking the whole afternoon at least...

    Post on r/women surprised me

    @backfrmsliding33 Oh gosh!! I read that wrong! I read it as people called you a masochist because you wrote that you liked being pregnant and that you didn't respect people having the right to choose. Which I was quite taken aback about but not surprised that people called you out for it.

    The moment you realize you’ve made it is when your baby will have the dad you didn’t

    @garry25 Just as it should be! (Aside from the not coping part, she'll have to get use to it)

    The moment you realize you’ve made it is when your baby will have the dad you didn’t

    @garry25 Agreed. My husband is very hands on too. Probably does marginally more of the childcare than I do (aside from when I was breastfeeding), I tend to do more of the house stuff. My grandma always loved to comment about the dads of today (my husband and my cousin's). You could tell it was...

    What do you class as sleeping through the night?

    @cavwda Just had a look at my tracker and at 13 months we were still at 2 wake ups/feeds per night. So hopefully you'll get your through the night soon!

    “Why didn’t you remind me?” -My Husband

    @infomommax sigh I'm my husband's reminderer as well. We are trying to cut down on buying lunches so I pack leftovers for him in the evening and he forgets to take them in the morning. I asked sarcastically if I needed to add reminding him about his lunch to my morning to-do list, hoping that it...

    What do you class as sleeping through the night?

    @freedomusa That's my definition too. Put them to bed, Don't have to do anything until morning. (For us that happened at 2yo with our first, second is only 1 week old so far)

    Almost 2 1/2 year old is a stage 5 twiddler and I’m overstimulated!

    @vivian56 Oh my gosh, I have a similar problem. Stopped breastfeeding more than a year ago and my son is almost 2.5, and his hands are always going down for my boobs. I tell him no boobies, take his hands out repeatedly, he knows he isn't supposed to! He'll say my boobies, and I respond firmly...
