Do you believe babies can see ghosts / spirits

My family believes babies can see ghosts spirits and angels the thing they’ll use the most as proof is my son will only pull on the necklace of my grandfather’s ashes not any of the other necklaces I wear or any necklace or jewelry on anyone else the only other piece of jewelry he pulls on is a bracelet I got at a concert of the artist hes named after but I don’t know if I believe it I wear one or two other necklaces besides my grandfather on the daily but they’re right he will never pull on them and if he does it’s because it got caught in his hand while reaching for the other

Yep! Babies, kids & animals are all able to sense things from beyond, cause they’re so new to being earthbound! They’ve got a clearer view / sense between the veil.

Those beyond the veil also have an easier time reaching them too! It’s not just that kids & pets are the only ones capable, they’re just the beings that take the least amount of energy & resistance to reach!

Yes and we had visitors when each baby was born

Yes I strongly believe this too! I have recollections and stories of experiencing this myself as a child, and I am certain my daughter already has the same ability.

It sounds crazy when articulated aloud so I usually keep it to myself & those closest to me.

There’s not really any right or incorrect answer here though - our beliefs are strongly shaped by our environment and experiences.

It’s also okay to be unsure either way or believe in your own truth regardless of what anyone else thinks.

My dad passed in 2013. Long before my son was born.

Last night he took a photo of my dad from the fridge at my mother’s house and said “pop pop!”

I do believe children see spirits

My dog used to look at the same spot in our foyer that our baby reached for and stared at when she was little. She doesn't do it anymore but the dogs still bark at it occasionally.

I remember seeing and hearing things as a young kid.

Yes! Both of my kids will wave/talk to empty corners of the room and turn their heads/other weird behaviors that suggest they can see spirits.

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.

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Vaccination advice

I’m really looking for advice and opinions on vaccines for my baby. I’m not against getting them but also just don’t feel like I know enough about them to make a decision just yet as I’ve had people say to me they don’t agree with them and they can cause issues etc… so I just want as much info as possible. What are everyone’s thoughts and experiences of vaccinating your child? I’m just interested to see everybody’s views (no judgement as I just want to know I’m doing the right thing) thank you x
