We have gift wish-lists that we ask the other person to update regularly. That we we know we'll get something the other will actually appreciate. If he can't think of anything, then just take him out to lunch? Or make/cook/bake food that you know he really likes but doesn't often eat

If he loves reading I recommend a kindle 🤗

I usually go based off of my husband’s likes and interest. As well as trying the 5 senses.

• smell
• touch
• sight
• sound
• taste

Mine likes things that are useful, but wouldn’t get himself because they aren’t a necessity

Last year for Father’s Day I got him a shirt that had like a little outline of our son giving him a big hug. Otherwise, my husband is a bills fan, so bills stuff lol.

Maybe cake & take him to dinner ? With the cost of things that’s easily $100 minimum

We love to order takeout so gift cards to restaurants! Or maybe tickets to a cool experience to make memories with your family or just you two

we love going on short trips for bdays! (obviously not always possible with kids). my husband also likes practical things that he wouldn’t buy himself… think: a leather guitar strap, a thick warm high quality flannel style shirt from his favorite company, a cool hat, etc

My husband isn’t a fan of gifts. I try to get him stuff he needs or really wants but won’t buy it himself. For his birthday last year I got him a dash cam and some high end sneakers he wanted and dinner

Was she insensitive to ask me for money in this situation?

I’m currently on maternity leave but returning to work soon. My baby is 1. Recently my eldest 10 year old daughter was rushed to hospital after seizures and cardiac arrest, we were in hospital for 5 days. I told my friend about it once we got discharged from hospital. I told her the whole story which is quite traumatic. 2 days later (so today) this same friend messaged me without asking how I am or how my daughter is first, and asks me for money. I told her I couldn’t lend her any due to being on maternity leave still and she responded with “I thought you were back at work”. Mind you a few days ago she was judging me for sending my baby to nursery and going to work, and said she wouldn’t be doing this with her baby and that she’ll be a SAHM and her husband will pay for the bills. (I have no issues with SAHM but she came across judgemental for my decision to go back to work).

Is it unfair of me to not let my child go to his father’s house alone?

So I am 8 weeks postpartum with my first child. My child’s father and I broke up around 3-5 days after he was born, we were only together for about 11 months. I tried my entire pregnancy to get closer to him and his family but was always met with pushback. After we broke up I tried to talk about how I felt, he told me he didn’t want to talk anymore and only wanted to speak about the baby.

A week and two days after my son was born I was rushed to the hospital for losing too much blood. I had a D&C and stayed in the hospital for two days. During the night after I came to in the hospital, he had been texting the whole day asking how the baby was doing. I can’t remember exactly what the conversation was but I remember saying I would let him know something after I got discharged in the morning. He proceeded to get upset that I didn’t let him know I was in the hospital and wanted to come take the baby. My family was with me in the hospital and he told me to only talk about the baby so I didn’t feel the need to let him know (also almost died lol). After this he started coming to see the baby for about 80 minutes each week, mostly being on his phone while holding the sleeping baby. His family came and saw us in the hospital when I gave birth for about 10 minutes. (They came, picked up the baby, huddled in a circle, took a photo of the grandfather with the baby then left) we saw his family three days after I told him to go home. There was a tense conversation that happened and that was how i learned we were broken up. His mother had to say it lol there was never a proper conversation between the two of us. He had also been caught in a lie by me but then lied to my face when I confronted him. Later her brought those things up and said he knew what he was doing.

Recently we have been discussing when the baby can see his parents. He asked if i would let our two month old go over there alone. Baby is exclusively breastfeeding and most used to me of course. I am not trying to keep the baby away from them but I feel like they have an issue with me. My thinking is if you don’t like the mom by proxy you will treat the child unfairly especially if I am not there. Also not willing to combo feed cause he is already sensitive to things I eat. I don’t feel comfortable with leaving him there alone until he starts speaking. I do not trust his father.

Thanks for reading I just needed to get that out and look for some advice.

Sex …

Sorry for the tmi girls but are we back to having the same amount as sex pre baby?! I have absolutely no interest, I’m knackered and couldn’t think of any thing worse but my partner is now getting frustrated with me.

Curious about what people think

My daughter mixed race and I’d love to know what people think she is (I’m also racially ambiguous) so would love to see what people say!

I need a job..

I need a job from home. I don't have a car. My boyfriend is the one who works. But we are in debt and living paycheck to paycheck. We have to borrow money when he gets paid because he was irresponsible. I miss working and making money SO MUCH! I need guaranteed safety money. Please please please help me.

Looking for a bestie 🫶

Ever since becoming a mom in 2022, I have been struggling so bad to find a bestie(s). I live in the Greeley/Loveland, Colorado area and would love to make a bestie for me and my little ones (4 & 2). My kiddos love going to the playground and getting lunch, but I also love being home and having another adult to talk to while our kids make messes lol. Comment or message me if you wanna be besties 🥰🫶
