@harryrogers Ugh it is such a heartbreaking internal feeling! Thank you so much kind stranger you’re so sweet really thank you so much!

@lostchildnomore Wow thank you so much for opening up and being so honest and helpful! You’re a kind person and I really appreciate all your help

@lostchildnomore Thank you so much! Do you mind me asking how you cope with waiting? I want to try because I feel ready at this time in my life. I’ve gotten older and I really cannot stand the idea of living to work. That’s all it feels like right now. Like I’m working to maybe enjoy a good book...

@lostchildnomore I’m so sorry you’ve felt this hurt before as well. I’m most definitely going to put my foot down, just as you did, and let him know that once a timeline is set we are sticking to it. I can’t even imagine the sadness and thought of missing out that I’m going to feel though if I...

@katrina2017 You put it so perfectly articulated! You nearly have everything I plan to talk to him about. That the way he went about it was extremely hurtful and I cannot emotionally handle another situation like this again. And that we need a timeline! I can’t be lenient on that.

@cisty OH and when I say “put my foot down” I mean I clearly did not communicate well enough to him how important this is for me. That was poor wording on my choice

@cisty I completely understand and agree

@garak71 Wow these are all things I never even thought of! He knows absolutely nothing about pregnancy, babies and kids. Maybe he has a very skewed perspective as most people say “you think you’re too busy, wait until you have kids” or other jokes about the negative side to having kids. He’s had...

@godsgatekeeper Yes thank you, I will absolutely be specific and truly honest about how serious this is to me

@congestus100 Wow that sounds amazing!!! I will absolutely look into that! It’s been a nightmare constantly bringing kids to the doctors and hospital. My poor newborn was in the hospital for two weeks last month due to parainfluenza and group b strep. Then the twins are constantly sick from...

@usi We did start the twins in preschool! They go three days a week from 9:30-12:30. It’s very helpful when they can attend. They’ve been out a lot due to illness! And they’ll be out again this week thanks to double ear infections that were just diagnosed today 🙃 I’m definitely struggling with...

@fruitb Yes yes that’s exactly perfect! I believe that’s why I broke our rule and did go to sleep upset because I felt I was going to lash out at him but knew that’s absolutely wrong. Just speaking with you and the others on this thread has helped so much. Truly, exactly what you wrote is most...

@katrina2017 Thank you so much for the supportive words! I feel like the world’s biggest failure of a mom. It’s very encouraging to hear I’m possibly doing a good job! I love Costco! I plan on making a trip next week! I agree it would be very helpful to use premade meals. My poor kids have been...

@fruitb I like this way of thinking. Thank you! I love him so so so much. I hate that we’re even nearly arguing. I’m just so sad at the moment. I wish I could better control this feeling and just say “okay babe let’s get a bottle of wine and order pizza.” But this means a lot to me and I’ve...

@fruitb Thank you very much for responding. Honestly, just hearing other women go through similar helps so much. I feel a lot of guilt for being mad at him as I have to respect his wishes. I’m just so hurt. I nearly feel like I don’t know how to cope with this hurt

You’re the only people I feel would understand what I’m going through right now. The past year we’ve been NTNP but really not trying as we avoided possible O days. Last month I had a scare cause I miscounted my cycle days. I allowed myself to get excited. It didn’t happen and I was depressed. He...

@lesflk It’s great to hear from someone in a similar scenario! I was able to go to the park one day last week with all the kids! It went okay. The twins really just like to cling to me instead of playing. I encourage them to run around but they want to stay right by my side with baby. They’ve...

@longbeard I’m trying everything I can to make it easier on myself! We can’t afford any help. But we have family coming this weekend and my husband said they can watch the kids while I go for a trip to the spa. I’m really looking forward to it! But I’m not sure how I can be away from the baby...

I’ve had a heck of a day and just need some solidarity. I have an 8 week old newborn and 2.5 year old twins. I had to take the newborn to the hospital this morning after a scary incident. I put baby down after feeding him so I could put my finished bowl of cereal in the sink. In those short 5...
