@mynameishephzibah in my country, every damn body is either sick, just recovered or falling sick. my friends doctor told her that there are 8 strains of flu going around on top of covid and everything. i imagine it’s similar worldwide..

@mas0n Yes! me too! i read everything and felt like a failure. i wish i could go back in time to be kinder to myself, block myself from the internet, follow his cues and trust that it’ll be ok.

@mercuryash Oh yes totally get you. Sometimes screen time happens coz I just need a break. For us we bring him out pretty often just to get fresh air and a change in scenery (and it also keeps him occupied)!

@katrina2017 yes hey sleepy baby is so good! so many other similar good instagram pages too like littlenestsleep on instagram too. my story - i was totally determined to do sleep training, i couldn’t coz he kept crying and wanting to be carried. it stressed me so much it definitely worsened my...

@limerick you know who’s drowsy but awake? the parents. that’s who. that’s all. 😅

@marialavender YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I hated newborn life too. I barely have any memories of it (and mostly all bad) because of the sleep deprivation and the crying. Some babies are just tougher than others and you're in the hardest of it all. Honestly, can you get any help? Outsource any...

@jesusmypeace oh OP, all the hugs for you. it’s so tough. while my pregnancy was ok generally i really hated the baby stage. i was obsessive over sleep and being slow on milestones and the newborn days were so tough without sleep and so much crying and all. also had postpartum depression and...

@christiangirl30 THIS. those babies are rare. most babies need night feeds and cuddles. that’s ok!!! your baby is normal and you haven’t failed! signed, mom who used to feel this way but realised it’s not true

@darthklim i’ll be in the minority here but maybe it’s too early for him to go to bed. would you like to try starting the routine later so it’s more compressed and you don’t feel so angry that so much time is wasted? and do more things that lets his energy out so that he will be more tired by...

@dmoffett SAME, same, same! Although it’s more like 10.30pm to 9.30am for me but even if it was a 8.30am wake up I still prefer it. It sounds nice to have a free night but the thought of being up at 5, 6am with a kid is ouch. I’m a night person for sure!

@roseforchrist I think… she is majorly projecting and trying to live vicariously through you, so if your choices differ, she is angry with you. She’s being ridiculous and I’m sorry you’re made to feel this way. I wonder if you can distance from her, if you’ve told her how you feel and she still...

@gailitis Yuuup my kid is 3+, labour was probably pretty smooth considering, i didn’t have any major plans so no major disappointments but yet i still hated pushing, felt like i was dying from a lack of air, disappointing people for not pushing properly and have zero desire to do it again.

@dp26 i think it’s a passing remark but i can understand being triggered - i would too, if i were you. i think a lot of it stems from their lack of help and your having to struggle alone. for what it’s worth mad respect to you. surgery with a colicky newborn? i would not survive that!

@gr3g omg yes to this too. i have realised that every single expectation i had should’ve been thrown out of the window from day 1 and i should’ve just looked to my kid and followed his cues!

@huskyblue i had this talk with my husband twice. the first time was quite a while back where he found out about my OAD preferences, the second time was recently (a few weeks ago) when he asked if i was still OAD. to be honest, it was uncomfortable and there was no getting around the fact that...

@bitterknitter thank you for referencing this article. i love it and it resonates so much with me.

@saara me too! all of this. i have longings from time to time but knowing how badly i struggled, i don’t think it would be fair to the lovely family and husband i do have now.

@fighttheflesh HAHa me too! And I wanted to be a stay home mum. Had romantic ideals of hanging out with my baby. Hah! All the ignorance!

@leras my daughter is 5 kids in one HAHA i love this!

@mjes I freaking love the long midday toddler nap. Yes, it breaks up our day and we can't really do full-day stuff (and it's hard to get tickets to go places as I don't know what time he'll wake up) but oh - the opportunity to nap too! I'mma cry when the kid drops his nap lol. But yesss I can't...
