A special kind of tired

Is there a way to describe to your significant other that will make them understand the type of tired we're all going through right now that stops them from suggesting "just have a nap and you'll feel better"... ๐Ÿ™ƒ

If I have to hear that one more time I won't be held responsible for my actions...

I saw a comment on reddit where someone said they are so exhausted it's like even their skin is tired.. That resonated with me and pregnancy! My newborn is a good sleeper but can imagine the quote works for both..

Explain it as an emotional, mental and physical tired that a nap won't solve.

Are you pregnant or post partum?

Sadly I donโ€™t think men will ever understand pregnancy tired because they donโ€™t experience it.

Post partum tired my partner understood as he was up with me alongside newborn and knew how hard it was.

Did you know this was a thing?

Didnโ€™t know this existed! Iโ€™m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x
