Oh well that does suck
7,313,202
mommit
That is totally fair, thank you for taking the time to explain and set me straight.
7,313,203

My poor husband put up with a lot too. For at least the first month he'd have to sit in the bathroom and talk to me while I showered because if I was alone for that long I'd get caught up in my feelings and end up a sobbing mess. And he works midnight's so when he got a break he would text me to make sure I wasn't up b...

mommit
That was exactly it for us. Sure glad to help explain :)

What upsets me is that I’m a pretty strong-willed and outspoken person and even I felt shame and doubt because of her! What about those who don’t have practice advocating for themselves?
7,313,206
mommit
Absolutely. People are nuts, I can't even imagine what all you've encountered with IVF. I bet your eyes have rolled so hard at comments they've made it all the way around your head. Screw those people indeed!

My OB's wife had 5 c sections for their kids. He asked if I wanted a zipper put in to make it easier for the next baby as he was stitching me up. Jokes aside, he did say that a repeat c section should be no problem if we choose to expand our family, but maybe not as many as his wife had. F those people who don't thin...
7,313,208
mommit
This. Hugs. First is 4.5. Newborn second. Guess what: a planned c section was amazing! Less trauma to all. My goal was healthy mama and baby. Older one is helpful. I can’t do birth story shame this time. Nor low milk shame. I got to live children and need to help them. Mad at shamers. I feel shame I’m plus size already...
7,313,209
mommit
My first was an emergency c-section, and the second was planned because I knew I couldn't emotionally handle being knocked out again. And guess what? My planned c-section was honestly one of the best experiences I've ever had. I was awake (the most important thing for me and the reason I opted for a repeat c-section ...
7,313,210
mommit
Are you me? My mom gave me the same "But you could try for a VBAC" both immediately after birth and when I discussed it with her this pregnancy. I said I had been a really hard decision and of course I would discuss the safest option with my MD closer to delivery, but for me I think a scheduled csection will be reall...
7,313,211
mommit
Oh man yes. People were mostly sympathetic for my emergency c-section, but the planned one might as well be talked about in hushed tones. All births must be a war story in order for them to count.
7,313,212
mommit
I've definitely heard this as well, that the after numbness/neuropathy doesn't really get any worse. Still though I *shudder* thinking about the horror that was lifting my arm over my head after my surgery and then imagining having to lift an infant multiple times a day, position them so they don't kick you in your inc...
7,313,213
mommit
Yep. I just think memes in general are not a good vehicle for conveying complexity. There are so many step parents who I’m sure fall into “mom” category but that requires an actual relationship with kids who see them as step moms/ moms.
7,313,214
mommit
The context is what matters. You were essentially powerless because of your circumstances and she was rubbing it in. What a prick.
7,313,215
mommit
Oh yeah I’m surprised my eyes didn’t roll out of my head at times! People like that are uneducated, close minded, or have something to prove for some reason. I try to ignore them even though I want to scream in their face haha.
7,313,216
mommit
This is great to hear! Thank you for sharing. healthy mom, healthy baby is my only goal this time around too. Congrats on number 2 and a much happier experience this time!
7,313,217
mommit
All these positive stories are so helpful! I’m hoping for the next birth to help heal some of the trauma from the first.
7,313,218
mommit
Same with ppa and flashbacks post birth. And same with being exhausted from the horrible labor, not so much the surgery! Obviously painful and scary, but yea my first memory of my daughters life was struggling to wake up out of anesthesia and the nurse going “here’s your baby!” Super disorienting and our support system...
7,313,219
mommit
The birth war stories are one of the few times when "bless your heart" is not meant as an F you. I was a planned c-section (second child). My next kid will be one. I've noticed this pattern among my friend group. Most of us have had similar L&D experiences to our own mothers.
7,313,220
mommit
First was failed induction and c section. Second one planned and it was easier having not labored to heal. Also no doula or going down the rabbit hole and fighting my OB’s recommendations. I just decided this time to trust my doctor and she helped me through hypertension, GD, 37 week planned birth and more reminding me...
7,313,221
mommit
Maybe instead of "fun to bee one" you could have swapped it with "one is a real buzz kill" oh kids! Still adorable!
7,313,222
mommit
Still very cute!
7,313,223
mommit
This is so adorable! My son did the same ‘no smiles’ for photos when he was 6 months old. The second he saw the camera he would get super serious
7,313,224
mommit
So precious! And happy first birthday! Perhaps being born during a global pandemic has something to do with this. I had my second baby in August 2020 and I swear sometimes she makes this face like "don't mess with me, I'm from 2020."
7,313,225
mommit
Apparently not so fun to bee one!
7,313,226
mommit
Pretending to sneeze usually does the trick for my daughter. Or spinny toys. Or pretending I'm about to tickle her lol.
7,313,227
mommit
We spent $700 for a bunch of photos of my daughter crying for her cake smash. Hahahahahaha. Still worth it.
7,313,228
mommit
still cute!
7,313,229
mommit
She's an observer/surveyor.
7,313,230
mommit
My son looked pissed in his one year old photo shoot and had a meltdown.
7,313,231
mommit
To be fair, if I’m going to binge eat a cake I don’t really want an audience either!
7,313,232
mommit
My husband and I got photos around Christmas of our smiley and photogenic 10 m/o. Day of the photoshoot...she was upset and extremely concerned about the strange lady, the clicky thing she was holding (see: camera,) the lights, etc. So she had a very...serene...holiday photo session, even though we certainly didn’t pla...
7,313,233
mommit
So cute
7,313,234
mommit
Mine doesn’t really smile for photos either... they’re still cuties though!
7,313,235
mommit
She’s adorable! I didn’t even notice she wasn’t smiling. She looks like she’s enjoying the cake!
7,313,236
mommit
Awww she is still beautiful!!
7,313,237
mommit
Cute! Where did you get that ‘one’ banner?
7,313,238
mommit
Love this! Congratulations
7,313,239
mommit
Damn, as a beekeeping mama why didn't I think of this when my first turned 1 last April. Super cute!!
7,313,240
mommit
Bawahaha ..ours was the same way. Except she cried when we gave her cake.
7,313,241
mommit
Aww man where were you this morning
7,313,242
mommit
I think it is from being isolated almost their entire first year! She's like why is this person looking at me when she only has seen like 10 people in her entire life.
7,313,243
mommit
Oh we tried everything. She normally laughs hysterically at anything her 3yr old brother does and even he got the blank stare. She sat pretty atleast
7,313,244
mommit
I couldn't imagine paying that much for photos! Ours was an hour session for 180$.

COVID BABIES MAN. They’re gonna be okay though, luckily babies and children are super resilient. Plus, your photo shoot is still super cute. Someday it’ll be such a good (and hopefully positive) reminder of how absolutely insane this past year was for us and our babes born during this mess.
7,313,247
mommit
Our pediatrician said 2020 babies all think only their parents have mouths and noses. What a strange concept.
7,313,248
mommit
Yes! Exactly. The first time my baby can go to Target (without me having a mama bear panic attack) I think she will be amazed lol
7,313,249
mommit
I’m a portrait photographer, also, so I probably see more value in it than most people- so. much. overhead. cost. Lol
7,313,250
mommit
I recently went to Target early on a weekday with my LO and he was so amazed. He was babbling, trying to touch everything I put in the cart and just taking it in. There weren't many people though, so I don't know if he would get overwhelmed at a different time.
7,313,251
mommit
You destroyed his faith in humanity. He's going to go in the corner, gnaw on his pudgy lil fists of rage, and think about the blowout he's going to make you later, lol
7,313,252
mommit
Am I a joke to you mother?
7,313,253
mommit
aw that was my son with peas he HATED them
7,313,254
mommit
Those eyes!
7,313,255
mommit
My son absolutely loves to chew on whole steamed green beans hahah I'm sorry your child feels like they are a true betrayal!
7,313,256
mommit
He’s SO CUTE.
7,313,257
mommit
Wow, those eyes
7,313,258
mommit
You monster!!!
7,313,259
mommit
Your baby is gorgeous! He has such a distinguished little face.
7,313,260
mommit
Oh my freaking goodness THAT FACE He kinda looks a little like my own baby too so I’m extra biased lol
7,313,261
mommit
Oh no!!!! The horror!
7,313,262
mommit
Awww poor little fella. My son loves green beans. I hate them so I understand lol
7,313,263
mommit
Oh, that stare!
7,313,264
mommit
That right there is a precious boy.
7,313,265
mommit
Don't let him talk to CPS!!!
7,313,266
mommit
Why are you so cruel? /s
7,313,267
mommit
Apologize! Your boss may yet forgive you.
7,313,268
mommit
Careful of the incoming associations. My son actually liked green beans but then I dared to feed him broccoli and he decided everything green was awful. Still haven’t convinced him otherwise and he’s almost 4 now.
7,313,269
mommit
What a gorgeous angry baby
7,313,270
mommit
WHAT A PRECIOUS LITTLE HUMAN OMG
7,313,271
mommit
Disappointed... How could you do this to him?
7,313,272
mommit
I have a picture of my oldest straight mean muggin me hard when he was this age because he stole my straw at a restaurant and I tried to take it away. He grabbed it with both little have and stared at me like he would rip my heart out with his hands if he could lol
7,313,273
mommit
The blowout already came & the bouncer chair fabric is now in the washer
7,313,274
mommit
My mom was setting up the christmas mantle and part of it was our stocking holders that spells "peace". I asked my mom what it said and she told me. Then i started crying saying "I DONT LIKE PEAS" lol
7,313,275
mommit
Mine hated the baby food green beans, but loved the real ones.
7,313,276
mommit
I thought he'd get his dad's brown eyes but so far he has mine and I'm obsessed
7,313,277
mommit
Thank you!! We get told all the time he has a little man face lol
7,313,278
mommit
Oh dear, he works quickly!
7,313,279
mommit
I tried the baby food green beans once. The babies are right; puréed beans are gross!
7,313,280
mommit
Mine is the same - now he has real green beans, and it’s yum yum (even just boiled!), but the first time he had them, puréed green beans got the classic stop dead and “wtf did you just put in my mouth” face
7,313,281
mommit
I've never given him pureed green beans, probably he wouldn't like it haha
7,313,282
mommit
I dumped her with my husband and fled after making her cry because I lost my cool (she was whining and ignoring instruction for the millionth time today). But also I love her so much that my heart feels like it’s going to break all the time from all the love. Ugh. This isolation business without regular alone time and ...

Our toddler smashed our brand new TV today. I cried, it's stupid, just a TV. But we won't be able to replace it for a while and I'm looking at another 6 weeks of being home 24/7.
7,313,284
mommit
I’m a single mom of a toddler and a geriatric dog that follows me everywhere (blind and anxious). So, tonight I’m cleaning in the kitchen and hear a VERY suspicious giggle. The toddler had climbed up the back of the couch and onto the window behind. He was hanging on the TOP pane of glass, flattened out like Spider-man...
7,313,285

I have an infant, not a toddler but, boy, does this quarantine make me feel this way sometimes!!
7,313,286

Here with you.

I'm grateful for this post and that we all are doing our best.

This looks like me!
7,313,289
mommit
Thank you for this post. It assures me that I am not alone! I love my kids more than anything but being with them 24/7 is tough for all of us! I have a 4 and 9 year old, both boys, and they are either at each other’s throats fighting or the best of friends (depends on the minute). Between that and now ‘homeschooling’ m...

Perfect. Home with a 6 and 3 year old. We are thanking our lucky stars that the little one still naps.
7,313,291
mommit
OMG yes! This was literally me at 530 this morning when both kids 3 years and 1.5 years were yelling and ready to get up. Why can't you sleep in, it's holiday Friday.
7,313,292
mommit
Oh I'm so glad everyone else had this!! All I'm seeing on social media is beautifully coordinated craft activities and family bonding.
7,313,293
mommit
Oh hey, I made this exact face this morning with breakfast. JUST EAT YOUR FOOOOOOOOD
7,313,294
mommit
Haha YESSSSSS!! Meals take like an hour and a half around here.
7,313,295
mommit
Your ability to draw hands is AMAZING.
7,313,296
mommit
Can relate
7,313,297
mommit
Yes!! Right now he’s crying and screaming because he broke his toy. I’m over today and tomorrow and this quarantine in general.
7,313,298
mommit
My 2 year old dumped water on my new laptop today :( I yelled “noooooo” and she just laughed and said “that’s funny, Mama”
7,313,299

Every time my boyfriend, a full time student, comes out of his study den to ask if I’m “doing alright” this is the exact image that flashes in my head.
