7,314,301 | mommit | I’ve literally gotten to a point of just repeatedly saying No thank you, and when they insist- “seriously. I’ll ask when I feel like I need it. She’s only this small once; and I’m her mother.” And to the very rude one, “did you hear me? No. I’m good.” And escalated to “If you can’t respect my wishes with this then why ... |
7,314,302 | mommit | For real! I was begging anyone to hold my baby so I could get a break. I was so touched out. |
7,314,303 | mommit | I was really upset about breastfeeding and didn't want anyone bottle feeding my baby except my husband and I. Because it was my job and I'd failed at it. Then one day my friend said that her friend couldn't have any more kids and bottle feeding a child had made her so happy because she was so upset that she couldn't ha... |
7,314,304 | mommit | I'm still bitter about the "support" I had from my family when I had my second baby too. ​ Oh also, one time I had "friends" show up not long PP after my second was born and turned up empty handed.... and hungry. Seriously. I was covered in baby spit up, dirty unwashed hair, completely frazzled and trying to ... |
7,314,305 | mommit | Don’t be sorry; I’m also still bitter. My brother didn’t have kids, but there is absolutely baked in sexism in my family - at get togethers the women are expected to be in the kitchen preparing food while the men lounge about and talk sports for instance. It’s fucking gross. If we get blessed with grandchildren we won’... |
7,314,306 | mommit | Yeah I agree. I think people should just respect first time parents boundaries whatever they are until their comfortable with things. I used to have my daughter in the carrier 90% of the time for her first year of life. I enjoyed being with you like you do with yours. I wanted her so bad like you and just wanted to soa... |
7,314,307 | mommit | I hope you won’t be posting down the track about not having any help. That is all. |
7,314,308 | mommit | I'm sorry, that sucks! Not sure why ANYONE -- especially people who have had their own children and *should* know better -- would think a parent ought to be comfortable leaving their under-1-yr-old baby so far away. A few minutes? Sure, I might be down for that. But more than an hour? It's like they've forgotten what i... |
7,314,309 | mommit | oh totally! i told my mom i wouldn’t go to costco and unless i had my wrap and i hadn’t brought it! |
7,314,310 | mommit | I had my first in November and we didn't even bother with decorations that year. It was too overwhelming to even contemplate. It's awesome that she helped you like that |
7,314,311 | mommit | blessed with am Angel MIL as well! she helps out when she can, the days I go to work she look after my 2 year old much more lovingly than me. her favourite storyteller is grandma! |
7,314,312 | mommit | It’s so nice to hear so many people have guardian MIL’s as well. I don’t know what I would do without mine! |
7,314,313 | mommit | For some the baby age is really hard and it’s not just because of a lack of support. Babies are NEEDY. And they’re so helpless and fragile. There’s literally nothing they can do for themselves and neither can they ask for what they want. Yeah you get good at figuring it out, but it’s HARD. I’ll take my Tasmanian devil... |
7,314,314 | mommit | The people offering straight up have said “ I hated the baby stage, give me the baby and go take a break” when I’ve never complained or said I needed a break. They had colic babies so yup I get it for them it’s a wonder to see a non-crying baby. I shower every day, I’m able to go to the bathroom and eat with no proble... |
7,314,315 | mommit | Ugh I certainly hope you aren’t expending energy on those “friendships” after that. |
7,314,316 | mommit | I’m so sorry. Somehow, I feel like it cuts deep when it’s friends. Like, you thought you had each other’s back but you were wrong, it was always one sided type situation. Hugs to you. |
7,314,317 | mommit | I wish my kids could have grandparents like this. |
7,314,318 | mommit | I also loved the toddler stage and hated the newborn stage. I joke part of the reason my kids have a six year age gap is because I needed five years to get myself psyched up enough to go through the newborn stage again. |
7,314,319 | mommit | I’m in your boat. I am adoring the toddler goblin stage. 10/10. If I never have to do 6 weeks to four months again I will be thrilled. |
7,314,320 | mommit | I’m the same way! When I had my first everyone told me I would miss the newborn/infant stage. I don’t. I miss when she was like 2-7 years old. Now she’s 12 and it can be miserable lol my second is currently 9 months and I just can’t wait for her to walk and talk! I don’t do well with the baby stage. |
7,314,321 | mommit | This is so well said. I have a 12, 7 and now 1yr old. Though financially, we are in the best place - the amount of needing and life altering a baby/toddler has on your life that you completely forget about is vast. We have such little support and it’s really starting to make us realize how important it is to have and w... |
7,314,322 | mommit | So then tell them that ? |
7,314,323 | mommit | This so much. If I ever have another kid, theres going to be such a huge age gap because that newborn stage was exhausting and my husband and I just do not have the energy to go through that again anytime soon. |
7,314,324 | mommit | Goblin stage is accurate lol. My first was such a fun toddler. Full of sass but I could finally take her places without lugging a big old diaper bag and no crying. It was such a relief |
7,314,325 | mommit | Right? Tone of the post is super defensive and stressed out.. if OPs overall attitude is like that then that’s probably why people are offering help. When people offer help just communicate that you appreciate the offer but you’re truly enjoying this stage and don’t want a break.. |
7,314,326 | mommit | 10:10, do recommend. Kid1 is seven next month and Kid2 is almost four months. The oldest is old enough to communicate needs, is semi-self sufficient, and is old enough to help with a few things. The 8-12 weeks stage still sucked, but Kid2 is less high needs, so it sucked less. |
7,314,327 | mommit | My kid is about to be two, shes more independent now but still needs a lot of attention, I can't imagine trying to care for a newborn right now in addition to that. Absolutely no hate to the OP, every baby is different and every parent has different needs, and I'm sorry that people keep pushing her about spending time ... |
7,314,328 | mommit | What a pro! Has he tried to suck out his own snot with that yet? |
7,314,329 | mommit | Just saying, I fucking LOVE the Nose Freida!!! My son had RSV at 3mos old. The bulb wouldn't work on him and he struggled to breathe. I bought one of these, put the filter in and sucked away. All of his snot came out and he was able to breathe again. 10/10 I highly recommend. Also, you don't get snot in your mouth. It ... |
7,314,330 | mommit | omg, i had 2 sets and chickened out. bless his lil heart |
7,314,331 | mommit | Lmao it’s payback time, mommy! His face says it all! Such a cutie! |
7,314,332 | mommit | Awwwww what a little sweetheart! It's so rewarding when your kids try to help, isn't it? Like all that hard work we put in day in and day out to help them grow in emotional maturity starts paying off and it's freaking amazing. This past weekend, my husband and I both didn't sleep well because our daughter wet the bed,... |
7,314,333 | mommit | Awwww |
7,314,334 | mommit | Aww that's precious |
7,314,335 | mommit | How sweet! |
7,314,336 | mommit | “ILL GET YOUR BOOGERS FOR YOU MOM” |
7,314,337 | mommit | This isa truly hilarious and disgusting all at the same time |
7,314,338 | mommit | Your little boy and mine could pass as cousins/brothers! How cute!! |
7,314,339 | mommit | What a cutie |
7,314,340 | mommit | You are extremely blessed. He looks ready to swallow all of your snot. What a gentlemen! |
7,314,341 | mommit | He hasn’t - but what’s funny is that he HATES THE NOSE FREIDA! But I guess was willing to help me out |
7,314,342 | mommit | The real pro tip is always in the comments. |
7,314,343 | mommit | Yes!!! They are amazing! I don’t have many issues with bodily fluids - but I can’t handle snot. Like…. At all. It makes me gag. So my husband tends to do the nose Frieda for me |
7,314,344 | mommit | Everyone thinks I’m so gross by loving this thing so much, but it’s a lifesaver!!! I’ll always recommend this to moms. I honestly like this manual one better than the auto ones too. |
7,314,345 | mommit | Oh dude I don’t even use it myself! I told hubs, I do the nursing and the birthing, you can handle the snot. |
7,314,346 | mommit | It’s so true!!! He’s ready! thank you!! |
7,314,347 | mommit | Awww that’s so beautiful! It’s like “thanks mom and dad for doing all the crummy stuff to keep me safe and comfy - here’s the love I can show you” |
7,314,348 | mommit | He’s pretty awesome. earlier yesterday his big sis was sad and he saw her crying and went and found his portable sound maker, turned it onto a lullaby, brought it to her and said “here Teetoo (his word for sister) this make HAPPY!” |
7,314,349 | mommit | Thank you!!! It’s really amazing to see them think and then do things to show love. |
7,314,350 | mommit | Thank you!! |
7,314,351 | mommit | Isn’t that the best descriptor of being a parent? |
7,314,352 | mommit | Share a pic!!!! I’m so curious!! |
7,314,353 | mommit | Thank you!! |
7,314,354 | mommit | Ha! You made me cackle - thank you! |
7,314,355 | mommit | Mine is barf :( I can't do it. Nope. Lol |
7,314,356 | mommit | Same! My husband gets gross faced all the time lol. So do my friends. I have one who won't even try it and her twins just had RSV. Really broke my heart because of what a difference it could've made for their breathing. I've seen the auto ones and I just refuse lol |
7,314,357 | mommit | that’s more than fair!! |
7,314,358 | mommit | Adorable! |
7,314,359 | mommit | Hahahaha! Yes. Definitely. |
7,314,360 | mommit | Check my page :) |
7,314,361 | mommit | Oh yea, that’s pretty nasty stuff. But snot and boogers is what legit makes me gag. I was at a museum recently and saw a little girl pick her nose and then eat it, then LICK HER FINGER. I legit retched, and had to swallow my spit up. |
7,314,362 | mommit | Omg lol I'm so sorry. I would hate to have that issue. My kids treat their noses like a freaking buffet sometimes. Makes me wanna pull my hair out how yucky it is lol |
7,314,363 | mommit | Omg, that’s hysterical and so gross. Kids are just the grossest cutest things ever. |
