Ooooo… Just wait 😉🤣
@Ashleigh honestly everyone’s experience is so different! I always appreciate advice when asked and people sharing their stories but honestly people will just walk past me and my son and go just wait until all his hair falls out. It’s not constructive at all. The worst is with sleeping! My baby has slept through the night since he reached his birth weight, whenever i say that everyone says just wait until he’s 4 months or wait until he’s 6 months, it’s so discouraging!
I have a 5 months old and I hear it so often, like “ just wait and see how much harder it gets”. I always turn around and tell them that each stage has its positives and negatives. I believe this is the truth. But I understand how discouraging sometimes it can be, especially when you feel exhausted and like it will never get better this can put you so down
Maybe they're just miserable and actually don't enjoy being parents because they have hard babies/toddlers haha, I heard this often with my first, like oh just wait until she's 1 year old and sleeping goes to shit, just wait until she's a toddler and she hits the terrible 2s and she has meltdowns and tantrums ect ect well all I can say she's almost 4 now and she's the best, she's funny, smart, happy, sleeps really good and I've never had the terrible 2s or bad sleep regressions or even teething didn't cause her issues at all never! Don't get me wrong, she's not perfect, and sometimes she doesn't listen, and whines when I say no to things, but overall, she's a great kid they all have their ups and downs but I love spending time with her. We went through a rocky patch when her brother was born, but it didn't last long. It's annoying, but try not to listen to them. Let it go over your head. Every kid is different. Everyone experience is different
@Becky i completely agree! They just sound miserable and want to make every other new mum miserable as well x
It’s sooo frustrating isn’t it!!! Just let us enjoy these moments that we want to share. You feel like saying fuck off to people its not what you want to hear. I have found its mums who are older not around my age group.
@Steph absolutely you just enjoy your little bundle. It's not the easiest thing being a parent, and we learn along the way. I'm sure you're doing a great job. In my experience, it only keeps getting better, it can be harder in different aspects but still really enjoyable in my experience anyway 😄
My theory is things like this were all they heard during their pregnancies and early parenthood and now are enjoying inflicting it on other new mums conveniently forgetting how frustrating it is
@Holley you’re onto something there. My friends from school were both pregnant with their second while I was pregnant with my first and when I was getting closer to my due date, they wouldn’t leave me alone with “any signs” and “baby here yet?”- sure they know how infuriating this was to hear 👀
It’s honestly so annoying!!! Because I have twins I always get “rather you than me!” “Double trouble!” and I’ve actually started telling people to fuck off. It takes them by surprise which adds to my enjoyment x
@Alex honestly when i see someone with twins i just think how amazing the mum is, would never say anything though! I find it so overstimulating being out with my baby anyway so i hate comments xx
It doesn’t stop you have it all before they arrive then once they are here it carry’s on then continues with the next pregnancy because I was having 2nd around my daughters 2nd birthday he’s 6m and it’s kinda stoped now when people see you do actually cope they just like to push there problems on to you
@Alex having a twin in amazing, in my opinion anyway. I'm a twin, and we are super close and always have been, I don't know what I'd do without her, I didn't particularly enjoy school i was shy when I was younger but having her by my side was just the best even now we live 10 minutes walk away from each other, we talk daily, multiple times a day and we see each other almost every day 🥰 the bond of a twin is something else and truly amazing
I had this when my little boy was first born everyone kept telling me of the newborn stage is the hardest and just wait until he is 3 months. He is 5 months and honestly I've found from 3 months being so much harder.
