@marialavender Welcome! I hope you’re feeling better soon. It will get better!

@marialavender I also cried when my husband went back to work. Totally normal to feel that dread and wonder what you are going to do. I had PPA and your experience is sounding similar to mine. The first thing to do is talk to your OB about how you’re feeling. Medication and therapy can help...

@mikecrb We’ve got birth control, property ownership, and divorce. My dads mother wouldn’t have had an option to any of those. Maybe we just have more choice now when it comes to family planning. Edit: to me the mental load is where I literally can’t take on another person.

@hugoeisenhour Your babe started at the time when the most illness is spreading, nov-march is the worst. Hopefully next fall/winter will be better!

@jenny777 We waited until she started grade school lol. I think it could’ve been done sooner, but my husband dragged his feet and then Covid happened. We probably could’ve done it when she was 4 (that was our original planned age gap).

@tam85 Their time >>>> than anyone else’s time

@badone I was pregnant in 4 months after quiting birth control and never even had a period. I was sick immediately until 16 weeks in. You don’t know how your body is going to respond. I’d just wait until after the road trip. Or maybe start trying on the road trip? Lol might make it more fun...

@ericguitarman To me it was the amount of rapid change that happens in the first year. Change in feeding habits, sleep, naps, etc. was constant and brutal. It felt like as soon as I figured out something that “worked” it didn’t work anymore lol. After a year those things still happen, but are...

@marlien OP has your husband sought help? It sounds like you’re trying to help your mental health but is he? Sorry, that’s the thing that strikes me here.

@om4e We’ve started all reading together at bed time and switching off pages between the three of us. We go camping twice a year at our favorite spot. Other than that all of our traditions revolve around food, lol.

@towerwatchman There are definitely other kids that wrote this too. Many families I know didn’t have a 2nd child until 1st/2nd grade, so I wouldn’t worry too much. Also, there will definitely be other onlys! There’s at least 4 in my daughter’s 3rd grade.

@heismine Thank you

@davida50 Welcome to the tween stages! Where they don’t actually execute, but don’t want you to nag them about it either. I think more likely she didn’t want you repeating the steps she knew she was supposed to be doing. She knows how to do them she was just taking her time/being lazy and didn’t...
