@nazpastor Yeah...the last 2 months of my pregnancy with my youngest were spent in and out of a pediatric hospital after my eldest got diagnosed with a rare kidney disease. Easily the most stressful time I've been through in my entire life and my second born is the chillest baby on earth. I...

@sam77 Your husband doesn't get to make uni-lateral decisions like that for your family ESPECIALLY when you are the only one dealing with the actual impact. Also the cardigan thing is batshit and toddlers don't understand "body image issues". Hell mine will strip naked if I don't stop her. I...

@godblessed777 Make him go anyway. End of the day I as the parent actually have remarkably little control over whether or not I want my kid attending school. It's truancy and can lead to criminal charges. Now I'd happily explain this to my kid and talk to them to see if there's a way to keep...

@greykell Pump, it's what made it so sleeping in shifts was actually an option for me. You need 4 straight hours to stave off the worst effects of sleep deprivation. The schedule we used was feed at 7, pump immediately after, in bed by 8pm, sleep till 12/1ish (depending on when she next feeding...

@monsieurhauddennifels I keep saying I am gonna strap a pedometer on my 15 month old cause if she is awake she is moving. We are headed over to grandma and grandpas later and there's a shot I am gonna take like a mile+ walk with her on the property just for the heck of it.

@porven So currently a SAHM (though I often lurk this sub as i'm planning on going back soon-ish) and yep same here. I left a pretty high role in tech (went back for like 2 months and was like "nope") and I don't miss it at all. I love taking care of the baby, my cooking game has shot up (and it...

@sakura656 The parents of a 6 year old that doesn't know shoving down a toddler and taking shit from them is wrong? Like I don't know what you expected here, a kid that behaves like that is probably gonna have shitty entitled parents. I personally would have gone to the museum staff and let...

@christopherpriestley Your friend might just have a really hard kid. We just had the second and I feel like it's like 10-30% more work on any given day (and I'm a SAHP so I am deep in the trenches)

@sam77 There's absolutely things you can do. You need to start talking to your parents about this and seeing how they can help you leave.

@sam77 Your parents don't like your partner because he's being abusive and trying to isolate you. Please admit to them what is going on, you need help.

@keety Slow introduction + having heat cutting foods available. Like for instance if we do spicier Mexican food one night we'll make sure to have sour cream available, Indian food is served with yogurt etc. Lets our kids cut the heat if they want it. My 2 year old LOVES spicy foods as a...

@acedeck Hard to say, the issue is you could buy a house elsewhere and then have a sex offender move in the next day anyway.

@oluwayinka This is the answer. I'm so much more likely to screw up these kind of things if I'm not sleeping. You need to figure out how to get 8 hours

@godblessed777 Nearly everything in public school can be worked around if your parents are willing to be squeaky enough wheels about it.

@passionforjesus Huh, now realizing my Mom actually did this experiment with me and my brother as a kid by accident. Mostly cause we had weird cups but still.

@brewster1118 Nothing with front carries, if I am really ambitious I'll fold a wee bit of laundry and move some dishes to near the sink. You really don't get the chores benefit until you can back carry at 4+ months, then you can do anything!

@sam77 Cause they think you are trapped and can't escape. And yeah it's a pretty well known thing...https://www.envisioncounsellingcentre.com/innerpage/resources/partner-abuse/abuse-during-pregnancy/ You were likely asked about it quite a bit during prenatal appts and even pediatricians are...

@ava1453 I don't bother folding my toddlers clothes, she's gonna pull them out of the drawers anyway and if I don't fold she'll actually put stuff in specific drawers if I give her a stack. Saves me an insane amount of time and none of it wrinkles anyway

@favourgrace Ding ding ding. A lot of abusers ramp up in pregnancy/after giving birth

@stufftheme Even when they are closer it isn't that bad. Mine have 23 months between them and there's some benefits. We are already in the thick of everything so the chaos doesn't seem to have really increased in volume. The toddler enjoys entertaining the baby and the baby is absolutely...
