rant/vent

I'm (22) literally only 14+2 and everyone around me says this. Its annoying for two reasons 1) Im freshly in my second trimester with my first pregnancy so my anxiety for possible loss is still sky high. Then 2) Its not at all. I was HORRIBLY sick week 6-12 (multiple ER visits) and it finally...

Is anyone else tired of seeing Internet "articles" about all the ways you are setting your child up for failure? I feel like I'm bombarded by internet pieces that are claiming if I do (or don't do) A, B, or C then my toddler will be unable to do X, Y, or Z as an adult.

Just took a lovely walk with my lil (17 months yesterday) and he took an awesome 1.5hr nap. Of course when he woke up, he screamed like he was on fire. Fun fun. Quick diaper change and I get his milk because it was milk/snack time and he pretty much told me to kick rocks and carried on screaming...

I’m done. F**k these microscopic, non-living pieces of shit. No one in our house has been healthy for months. Personally, yesterday was the first time I felt like a healthy human being since December 22nd and guess who wakes up with a fresh sore throat? This bitch. And not to speak of October...

The audacity to call/text a FTM (or any expecting/new parent) after 8 PM regarding whether or not I’ve gone into labor or feel like I’ll be going into labor soon is so inconsiderate. The child I’M carrying will be here when she will be here. Constantly asking won’t make her come any sooner. Two...

For the past 6 months my 2 y/o only poops every 5-7 days. She moans in pain for hours on end because she has to go but won’t let it out. This is usually our “evening activity”on days 4-5 and the “daily activity” on day 6-7 if she holds long enough. She’s been on Miralax for over a month and...

My poor 9 year old got adenovirus (Adenoviruses are a group of viruses that can cause infections. Adenovirus (add-eh-noe-VY-rus) infections can happen in kids of any age, but are more common in babies and young children. Most kids have had at least one adenovirus infection before)! He then...

Sounds stupid? Well that's what my grandma told me 🫠 Right now I'm pregnant with baby boy and I didn't have any strong feelings towards any male names, most of them just sounds okay. So when my husband told me that he would like to name baby after his grandfather, I was like "cool, let's do...

That quote has been told to me more times than I can count or “they’ll never be that small again enjoy it mama!” But I literally can’t enjoy it. It’s been 3 weeks since this baby’s been home and I haven’t had not even 5 hours of consecutive sleep since he’s been home. I’m lucky to get 3hr...

Due to staggered positive tests/ isolation times, we just had to keep my 3 y/o home from day care/ preschool for 4 weeks (12/14 - 01/10). She’s been back a week and I just feel like we’re waiting for the other shoe to drop (aka “the fckening”)… Today, another mom in the class tells me they’re...

If I hear this one more time I’m gonna flip my lip. My 7m old likes to nap in my arms. Every time I try to put her down she wakes up so eventually I gave up and would just do what I need to do when she wakes up. At first I hated it but now I don’t really care because when my fiancé gets home...

UPDATE! I finally got called in at around 16:00, got here and checked in! We’re all hooked up, epidural started, just waiting for the kid now! Original post~ Hi hello. I’m 41 weeks pregnant, 3-4 cm dilated, 90% effaced. My induction was scheduled for LAST NIGHT. Am I at the hospital? No, of...

I know it shouldn't bother me, but it does. My daughter is about 16 months old and is constantly misgendered, even when she's wearing a bunch of pink and bows. I understand that people want to be open and gender neutralized and such and I have absolutely no problem with that, if that is THEIR...

I’m a first time mom and gave birth in December of 2021. When we finally got the bills I noticed that on my daughters bill it had nursery charges (level 1) on it. In my mind since she was in our room the whole time and never went to the nursery we shouldn’t have those charges. So I called up the...

Hi all, my kid got chickenpox since Thursday with some common cold symptoms too. He has been asking for more screen time than usual (Peppa, Peppa!) and yesterday we watched like 2.5 h total. Today he already asked again. I'm trying to entertain him and keep him busy but he gets fussy/cranky and...

[i posted an update] i’m such a mess right now. my 14 month doesnt sleep great as he usually goes to bed at 9 ut wakes up then doesn’t sleep until around 10/11pm. he hasn’t been sick or anything lately may i add. but anyway he last night but at 11:30 in the afternoon he still wasn’t awake which...

I’m getting really tired of my partner being unsupportive in every single opinion of mine and being told it’s not all about you. I’ve already had this because I said I didn’t want a baby’m shower, being told it wasn’t about me etc etc. Im having a c-section and he made a comment last night...
