@NoblestCalling This isn’t an either/or situation, you can choose what feels right each time. That being said, for my baby shower for my long awaited baby at 35 I asked people if they wanted to bring a gift, to please make it their favourite childhood book. It went very well.
@the_libster18@audreystayshome I remember the Ferber method saying do not start it unless you’re fully committed to go right the way through to the end. I genuinely think the only problem is stopping and starting. And ps twins is amazing, well done for finding a way!
@eva_kurilova Would you believe this is the only thing that fixed my baby’s chaotic and previously insurmountable nap problems. I was desperate and followed a programme that including waking, and after that she had a regular 2 hour nap every single day. From 10mo until she was FOUR
I have one leg. I am not ‘living proof’ that humans have a spectrum of legs. I have a disability arising from a genetic disorder. The normal number of legs for a human is two.
Your son wanted to play on the girls' team. That's not a "simple wish." It's an absurd and unfair demand.
The simple wish is when girls ask to have their sports to themselves.
@hanyuri167 This is how I started with my husband but also with my ex, and when we started dating my future husband lost his mind (complimentary), but my ex lost his mind (derogatory) and there is honestly just no way to tell which one they will be
@LadyNimby I have to manage one set of grandparents for the same as it’s such a dopamine hit for them so I have to explain regularly that that’s not a reason to do it 💀
@Misandrist92646 Imagine my husband’s fury. He met me when I was 27 so I had already squandered most of my value to him/society at large. It’s just been hag o’clock every day since
@batkatebush I want to bring actual kids into this bc on holiday a dad was letting his boys SCREAM (not joyful shouts: ear piercing screams) during gentle pool games & I couldn’t rest until they left bc I’m wired to respond to that even though my own kids were safe. It’s completely avoidable.
My husband turns 42 this year. The womanosphere would say he has hit the wall. But here is the thing that our current establishment fails to understand.
I married him when he was 21. He has given his whole adult life to me. Fathered my children. Gave me a family. Helped me become who I was meant to be.
Because of the investments he made into me when he was young, his value in my eyes has never been higher. He has never been more handsome to me. I have never desired him more, despite the bald spot expanding on his head.
That's how it is supposed to work. When a man gives his woman his value when he is young, his woman will gladly give him her value when he is old.
Today's men think they can squander their value in their youth and still expect, nay, demand a woman's value when he is old. That is peak delusion.
@fearmeitsbre Breaking the rules was a second baby thing for me. Half a glass of champagne on our anniversary, along with rare steak. My mum had me round for lunch one day and put out crusty bread, pâté and blue cheese. That’s the sum total in 9 months and it was absolutely fine
@deenitz@ruthsaranne@MediumSizeMeech I’ve found 3 ticks in the last few years on my children, after walks in that famed area of the tropics known as Glasgow
@Liz114199751625@beyondwaiting It sounds like YOU don’t know that even if you EBF 100%, every 2-3 hours day and night, no dummies, no pumping, no supplementing and a healthy baby peak weight percentile, hitting all milestones before and after, your period can still come back at 6 weeks. Ask me how I know.
@ceraliza With my first, I had a section and I vividly experienced the feeling of them lifting her out of my body. It was a relief because I was desperate to see her and for her to be safe, and to be connected to the exact moment it happened was a gift
@Possessionista I let my kids choose magazines for the plane and didn’t inspect the toys too closely. You can bet the millisecond I heard my child blow into a WHISTLE at 30,000 feet I confiscated it before she got to the end of that breath. Kids can be kids; adults still need to be adults.
@wirmgurl This feels permanent and for me it was absolutely, 100% a short term reaction. It’s hard to see that when you’re in it. You are so needed by someone who is still part of you. Those things recede. Your self returns.
@gabydvj I honestly can’t remember if this was me, but I do know I carried my first everywhere in our house because I worried the floors weren’t clean enough for her to crawl on. FTM shit can be fully insane.y second had the run of the house as soon as she was moving.
@Voidsspace This has rewired my brain. My always-late friend was only mildly apologetic when she left me waiting more than an hour, but she was brutally unforgiving about HER things, e.g. if I didn’t remember the minutiae of a story she’d told me years before. “A good friend would remember”
