Is it ok to keep helping in the house?
So ever since i met my husband he has being very financially open with me, i noticed how he used to help his mom as well. Long story short we got married and thats where i got more involved in his finances, well he is a home owner so i moved with him;but then i found out how much money he gives her, im talking about rent, insurance, groceries, clothes and so on. So for a while i helped him but i don’t want to do it anymore because i feel like i help in the house and that money directly or indirectly it goes to his mom; what should i do?
How much quality time per day are you spending with a one year old baby?
Hi! I am a new mom, and my little girl is a little over one year old now. I am just curious… if you are in a similar phase of life, how much QUALITY time do you spend with your baby each day? This is anything other than meeting basic needs like nursing/feeding, bathing, putting to sleep, etc. Think: time spent reading books, playing with toys, singing songs, playing games, etc.
My little girl is NOT an independent play gal and has always hated being restrained (baby pen/gates). She also is a fussy baby and my attention (however much or little) is never enough. She does a lot of following me around all day while I take care of chores, house projects, texts, etc. I try to include her, but I end up still feeling guilty that I am too distracted (maybe I should be, maybe I shouldn’t🤷🏼♀️).
Chores cant be done while she sleeps because of how frequently I have to resettle her or even hold her.
I know neither extreme (all entertainment or no interaction) is healthy. I just want to raise a “living room” kid that genuinely enjoys being around family but is capable of some independence
Thoughts???
