Anyone else

I’ve been trying for soo long and I think I finally just got my positive 5 minutes ago and I’m feeling instant regret !!! I feel like I’m not in the right head space and I’m around my verbally abusive disabled mother all day and I knew if I told her she’d be devastated which would just lead her to saying more negative things that I already can’t handle ….. I’m re thinking this whole thing

Hey lovely. You don't have to tell anyone, do you live with your mother? Or care for her? X

Both … I have what it takes to be on my own but a part of me is soo used to helping her that I haven’t left … also I do have another kid that she treats like garbage… tells my 5 yr old that his mommy doesn’t care about him cause she’s mad at me

If you don’t leave the toxic environment for yourself, do it for your kids. Especially if you have the means to move out. Why stay and take the abuse? The kiddos don’t deserve that and neither do you.

I think it may be healthiest for you and your children to move out. You gotta do what’s best for your own family. ❤️

Don't let anyone make you feel differently about the precious miracle you've been longing for ❤️ And if you feel your mother is too toxic for you and your baby, could you live with a friend, your partner, or another relative? That would help a lot

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
