Sadly we live 4hs away from my in-laws so they saw her at 3 weeks old, 3 months old, 5-6 months old and 8 months old. My parents live 7k miles away so they only met her at 5 months old.

I go to my parents house twice a week so I can go to the gym while my girls stay with my mom. Sometimes we see them 3 times a week to do family activities or date night. We haven’t seen or talked to my in-laws in over 2 years

My parents see me abd my boys twice a week. The in laws, maybe once every 6 weeks?

We currently live with my partners mum so everyday 😅

My egg and sperm donor have no access to my child. My fil we try but almost no contact. My husband's mom's family gets to see him the most and as often as possible because we are on good terms with them.

They never visit us. We have to visit them.

My mum visits daily (we live next door so hard to avoid each other), my dad visits a few times a year (he lives far away), my in laws also visits a few times a year, but they live nearby and we just don’t have much contact with them.

And my grandparents on my dads side visit at least once month

Never my mom lives 5 min away

I live with my mum. She helps me a lot because I'm disabled and sometimes struggle and my partner is a farmer and can't be around as much as anyone would like. My MIL and FIL see my son once a week when my partner takes a few hours off and we go to their house, they live just a few miles away. However my partner doesn't have a car right now cos it broke down so they've not seen our son in weeks and keep complaining they miss him even though its a short bus ride for them to get here and have said from day 1 the door is always open if they'd like to visit... they're only interested if it's convenient for them it seems 🙄

Haha I think my son saw my mother once last year. 😬

Once maybe twice a year from my Dad who lives an hour down the road. Husband's relatives live 500 miles away so have never been

My mum helps with childcare, we see her a few times a week. And my partner will usually visit his mum once a week.

My parents see my baby at least 1x a month , either they visit or we visit them in town
My in laws at least every 2nd day , they live next door .

My parents live in France so we usually spend the summer there so my parents see him for 4 months but we FaceTime everyday , my in laws live next door he probably seems them once every 2 months if that

Why are some men like this

They disrespects you, compare you, talk down on you but when they get horny and start to see that you are losing you foreal they send things like this.
But sorry hunnae, I’m not falling for it this time

Long trip?

Hey , we’re going on holiday to the coast 3.5 hrs away in a couple months and my 2 year old is toilet trained but wears pull ups at nap and bed time. Sometimes she will do a little dribble in her pants on her way to the loo but generally she does well
My concern is the road trip, do I put her in a pull ups at or hope that she can hold out till we stop?
It’s going to be tricky washing and drying the car seat on holiday so I’m wondering what other people do, I’m worried the pull up for the car might confuse her!

First Time (Girl) Mom Questions

Hi, couple of questions. Due on Monday and couldn’t find any good information so I figured I’d ask those with experience. I have a couple of questions.

1. I heard wiping the lower belly to make your baby pee before you change their diaper works really well for not getting peed on for boys- I was wondering if it’s the same for girls and if it’s as much as an issue for girls? Would like to avoid getting peed on lol.

2. When you do change your lil girl, I know you wipe front to back and there is a limit on how much pressure you should put- would anyone be able to give me a good example of how much pressure should be used? I asked a nurse and they basically said however much it takes to get clean, but I’m not up for accidentally hurting my kiddo if I can help it lol

3. Is there any advice I can get from experienced moms in general? I want to pull all of the knowledge I can so I can do the best I can.

Thank you!

Just thought this was funny

Def me every morning dropping my daughters off at school

Child’s father went to jail

My partner and I have two kids together, a 2.5 year old and a now 3 month old. He was taken to jail on a pretty serious felony charge when our new baby was only 5 weeks old. I’ve been struggling so so much lately and neither one of our family really cares about it. they all just think i should just move on but it’s not that easy. i’m the only one raising my kids now being that i don’t have a huge village and the people i do have work all the time or live over 100 miles away. i’m the only one helping him to fight his legal battles on top of postpartum depression. everyday i feel like giving up. i’m so lost. no friends either.

How would you interpret the phrase “at times, it appears they are working together in ways that are unsafe for others.”

In reference to a set of 4.5 year old twins, in an email from their teachers (the first time they’ve reached out about any type of physical incident with another child).

Do you think the teachers mean the twins are teaming up to intentionally be “unsafe” to others?
