Is anyone else a SAHP because you can’t afford NOT to be? I love being a SAHM but I also have to be bc if I was paying for daycare, it’d cost about 75%+ of my income. That’s assuming I could even get a spot at a daycare. I’d rather be home with my baby myself than make a little bit more money...

Did any of you choose to skip preschool for your little? My baby is under a year but I already have people asking me about preschool, when I’m going back to work, etc. when I’m reality, we are trying for a 2nd have 0 plans to go back to work and plan on skipping preschool. The other night when...

I'm 15 weeks pregnant with my second baby and never quite lost the bump after my first, so I look like I'm showing quite prominently. People (mostly my mum, but others also) seem to take great joy in telling me how HUGE I am, my dates MUST BE wrong, surely there isn't just ONE baby in there? It...

Like seriously F off. And screw the equality argument. As if women aren’t doing literal work too. Or is it not equal because it’s “womens work”. If someone was a nanny and made 50k a year, is it still lazy???? Mega eye roll.

We all know about how annoying it is when dads get praised for being “such a good dad” for simply doing their part, but moms are just expected to do all those things (i.e., feeding the baby, changing diapers, basic participation). But I didn’t realize it would start in pregnancy. Yesterday I...

Sorry I feel like I’m going to explode and this is sub makes me feel like I have a community. My husbands attitude toward me last night was such a slap in the face and I’m having a hard time talking myself down. He’s been working 14 hr days most of this week and yesterday he informed me he...

At 6 weeks I was like “psh this pregnancy is easy! I’m probably going to be one of those women who just has a really easy pregnancy” (I do this mostly to try to manifest it to come true rather than just being a dumb b*tch) I hit 7 weeks and basically from That Day Forth I’ve had an unrelenting...

My last two babies were 6 lb 11 oz and 6 lb 15oz. They say with this one being over 3.5 lb at 29 weeks I'm looking at a 9 to 11 lb baby. And just thinking about this terrifies me and makes my vagina hurt. I'm happy she's healthy but hiw am I suppose to squeeze such a big baby out of me without...

TLDR: The Title So my wife and I now have two children. The oldest is a boy who is nearly 3 y/o and our second born is a girl who is 1.5 y/o. We first had the discussion for one and likely two and she brought up three and I said no, before she was first pregnant with our first, to which she...

I drink water all day, but come 7pm, I need to chug endless ounces of ice water. Really perfect right before going to bed. Anyone else?

I love my husband, he’s a great help with the kids, we have a healthy relationship, we have equal workloads, blah blah. Wanted to get that out of the way. We’ve been together about ten years. We’ve had two kids in the past 2.5 years, and I finally made the leap to SAHP earlier this month. It’s...

I’ve been watching a friends 2 yo for a week (12:30-7:30) M-F and idk how people do it! I’m a SAHM with a 1yo (chill little boy) & a 3 yo (chill little girl) and I’m exhausted. I’m grateful that the weeks over and I’m done (was just an emergency favor) but damn…how do people with three kids do...

8 weeks. I feel like total crap 24/7. I throw up every 2-3 hours even when I have nothing in my system. I try one sip of water and this freakin hydrophobic kid has me ralphing within the hour. I cannot keep anything down. I’m so dehydrated and my doctor doesn’t give a shit she just keeps...

That’s pretty much it. I know it’s stressful here. We have a 4, 2.5, and 5mo so you can imagine. He spends 1 day with us (and irritable at that) and is itching to go back to work. I am very supportive of having a job you love, but I look back at my dad, and seemingly the best part of his day was...

My husband works a lot. A lot, a lot. I used to be a teacher. He used to be Active Duty military and we moved constantly. My career could not keep up. He suggested I stay at home. When our eldest was a few months old, I became a SAHM. Earlier this year, he made the switch to Reserves and started...

I'm 35& could never really see myself w/ child until i met my wonderful long term boyfriend. We've been trying for 1 1/2 year and I was elated to find out I'm pregnant (I'm 9 weeks now). I've been struggling w/ every 1st tri symptom possible to get and finding myself irritated with the loss of...
