Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

I haven’t because she’s breastfed and won’t take a bottle, my first had stayed out long before now at his Nannie’s. However there’s no rush and if you’re not ready that’s fine x

Your baby, your choice. Everyone else can get in the bin.

Nope, and my first o don’t leave until she’s 16 months. Don’t let anyone pressure you! Do what feels right, if you don’t feel ready all you’ll do is worry and you’ll not enjoy anything anyway. X

With my first I had no desire to be apart from her, maybe left her for an hour or two on two occasions in that first 11 months before I went back to work. I think she was 6 months the first time for a lunch and again around 9/10 months but more because I was forced to rather than a want! She didn't have her first sleepover until 15 months and that was only because I attended a child free wedding. Feel exactly the same this time round!!

If you aren't ready, then you aren't ready, no one else should make you feel as if that is wrong!

You don't have to have left her by now at all. I think my eldest was 6 months before I left him with his nanna for a day and 9 months when I left him overnight and a lot of people I know thought that was early!

My little one has had a sleepover at my parents house when he was 4 months and he goes to my mums once a week when I have a day at work x was hard to begin with but gets easier x just do what is best for you and your little one x

We only left him with my mum for a couple of hours when we went for Valentine’s dinner. Not over night though and I don't think I would until he's at least 1 year old!
I do think it's everyone's personal choice xx

Sex life is 🫠

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠

Question about ejaculation

I tell my partner to wear a condom not only for protection but also so that there's no mess to clean up when I get up to use the toilet. Is this normal?
I ask because I now have the contraceptive pill but I still want him to wear a condom.
