@fallingapart I assume she’ll be happier than if you had another kid, and didn’t actually want to!

@fallingapart Your only child might grow up and wish she had a sibling. OR, maybe you give her siblings and they don’t get along. There’s no guarantees! I know plenty of happy only children.

@j2019 I do wonder how big a part cellphones have to do with it. I can say I’d get a bit more done lol. And possibly less consumerism. But there’s probably more than meets the eye, like forcing herself to clean when exhausted as heck. Something I’m not willing to do.

@sunflower232 My husband just started working full time (with 10 hours of overtime a week) so right now I feel like we are doing better, but I am struggling to get the credit cards paid off and save as well. The car breaks, I needed to pay income taxes from 2020 when I didn’t update my job, we...

@sonnalauurgent I’m so sorry. There’s nothing wrong with adoption or a sperm donor. But you should take the time to grieve first. I’m sure you don’t mean like, tomorrow, but I’d give it no less than 6 months, closer to a year.

@glen101 I would ask the doctor how they decide what “too much” weight gain is. Sure, if you’re just feeding baby every time they’re fussy I’d get it. But it sounds like baby is telling you she wants more! But if there’s a true medical concern, then your doctor should do more than just just say...

@lesbian5eva It would be easier, in my opinion, to work 2-3 8 hour a days and hire help. Neither of you get a break until the weekend with this arrangement. But it is a great option if it’s what you can afford.

@poppa51 In my strange opinion, I think it’s ok to give unsolicited advice one time. Especially related to safety. But honestly, I never minded tips about sleeping, different products, ect. Sometimes I do internally roll my eyes, but I appreciate moms trying to help.

@coachlittlez23 Your baby will very likely be entertained by watching you do whatever you need to do around the house lol. Whether it’s while she is doing tummy time or a bouncer. And your husband is right, even if she does not seem entertained to you, she is taking in everything she is...

@theenglishhovind Oh man, we were going to try to move and once I started getting sick I said let’s wait! I couldn’t imagine doing all that in a day. Maybe the next 3-4 months be good to her!

@whitm11 I’m the opposite. More than ever I do the bare minimum, act my wage (professional, but don’t worry about things beyond that), and you don’t catch me working over time except the rare days. I frequently worked 50-70 hour weeks before kids.

@irisnicole8405 Nope. Not necessary.

@angelw Same, my husband can’t keep up with us and 3 dogs and a cat. He mostly tries to make sure we have clean clothes and dishes lol. Might be time to do paper plates again! I was pretty tired and sick with my first, but I had covid the first trimester and everything smelled totally off. So...

@terrastorm We didn’t have a routine until 6 months. We are expecting our second, and I will probably have a routine earlier just because I know more about having a baby now. But still, probably will change often until baby starts eating foods.

@treefencecar I know everything is all temporary, but boy that doesn’t make it easier lol

@jacquelinedeane55 We are 99% done with kids after this, but if we have a third I think I’ll wait until the second is a bit more independent. I try hard to sing a long with ms Rachel and be involved that way, but I still get so dang guilty. My first pregnancy I had covid the week before I...

@tehsaplings I wandered off with my aunt uncle and two cousins when I was probably 6-7. Not on purpose, I just forgot to watch where they were going (my adult ADHD diagnosis surprises me less every day lol). Strangers saw me alone, and helped me find them!

@risenart Thank you! I realize that you make whatever works for your family, and it doesn’t have to be traditional! I had a SAHM and my dad ran his own business so he worked long days/weekends but he totally controlled his schedule. Do you remember her having odd days off/enjoying that? I’ll...

@kbrow2 Oh the sciatica, that is awful! Halfway there!

@andrew4021 Oh man I know that is really tough. 10 months is when my son started getting really busy lol. I sure wish there was a different way, too. I’d love to be able to pay a surrogate who loves to be pregnant!
