@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!

@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.

@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...

@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.

@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...

@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.

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

@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...

@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!

@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...

@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)

@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...

@daryl7777 Yes!!
