2 under 2

Hot take - I don’t sympathize with mothers who struggle with 2 under 2 (unless they’re parents of twins, triplets, etc.). You knew how hard it was to have a newborn yet chose to get pregnant so early on in postpartum. Now you’re struggling.. OF COURSE. Sorry but I can’t take the complaining from moms who KNEW how hard it was and CHOSE to do it again. Deal with it

Birth control fails. People have accidents. Shit happens. Some babies are not planned and they did not choose to get pregnant so early.

Parenting is hard and people are allowed to share their struggles. At point is it acceptable to you? Having 2 kids will always be harder than having 1. If they wait 3 years, do they have your sympathy? Or 4? What’s your magic number

That’s a harsh take. Having kids close in age isn’t always a choice that people made. And even when it is, they’re allowed to struggle and talk about it.

Life and motherhood are hard enough without piling on judgement. Why be rude about someone else’s choices that don’t affect you? If you don’t want 2 under 2, then don’t have them.

bruh this post is pointless , im curious do you have two under two and speaking from experience ?

Avatar

lol I spoke nothing bt facts. And I know Haley says birth control fails bt ppl should know that everytime u have sex regardless of wether or not ur on BC or not ur putting urself at risk of potentially getting pregnant. So how abt we control ourselves and not have sex 🤷🏾‍♀️ I also have zero sympathy for ppl who choose to make their lives harder and then complain abt it cuz we all have choices. And yes ppl are allowed to share their struggles bt I’ll most likely pity the person instead of empathize cuz like I said ppl have choices

It is not a choice for a lot of people. Abortion in my state is illegal. It is in a lot of states. So I would have to have the money to go to another state and pay for the procedure out of pocket. For a lot of people they do not have the money to do that

What a sad life it must be to think of children as a consequence for sex. And to think sex is only for reproduction. Hope life gets better for you! ♥️

You could say that about anything or motherhood in general. A lot of things in life are hard but still worth doing. Some start off manageable and then become overwhelming. Why can't people talk about how difficult they find their experiences? 😅

Fair enough !

My original post still stands. I am not going to feel bad that you made a decision to have kids so close in age and now you’re struggling… you knew what you were getting yourself into. And so far, one fourth of the people that voted agree 💀

About to have two under two I got pregnant whilst being on the coil and personally I wouldn’t just abort my child just because I know it’s going to be difficult… having one was difficult you just get through it 🤷🏽‍♀️

Do you also feel the same towards women with one child that is struggling? As they chose the life of a mother didn’t they

I have two under two and I work from home full time while taking care of them full time I knew what the struggle would be. Some days I don’t clock out of work until 1030 at night because I’m interrupted all day.

Maybe some Moms with two under two just need to have a place to vent because they are exhausted. Are you seriously going to say that you have never been tired and exhausted and overwhelmed from a child or two? And have you never been around someone who needs to vent and then not be attacked?

It’s kind of like the thing where you vent to someone, and they don’t realize that the person just wants them to listen without offering their opinion.

I more so can’t stand the parents who choose 2 under 2 complain and tell me it’s just like having twins so they understand my struggle… like no you don’t twins and 2 under 2 aren’t the same thing

You have never once in your life complained about something that you have voluntarily done?

Side sleeping

I woke up this morning and my 11 week old was on his side!
1. I didn’t know he could do this!?
2. I panicked and put him back on his back but he rolled back over!
3. I put his dummy in because I panicked and when I rolled him back he rolled again!
Is this okay? Do I need to keep him on his back?
He seemed very content and I don’t know how to police back sleeping whilst also getting sleep myself, and I’m terrified of sids 😩

4skin

I had my 8 week check for my newborn recently and the doctor told me I should be gently pulling his foreskin back so that it doesn’t get too tight. I haven’t been given this advice before so I haven’t been doing it for my two-year-old.

My two-year-old’s foreskin doesn’t go back over the head of his penis, It’s too tight. Is this normal? Is it because I haven’t been pulling it back regularly?

Sorry about the title, apparently I’m not allowed to say foreskin in it?

Should they be banned for life and would you as a parent press charges?

This teacher slapped a primary school student and left a red mark, however she tried to say in her statement that it was an "involuntary arm movement" 😑 I call bullshit... How can you "accidentally" have your arm outstretched, "accidentally" have an open hand and "accidentally" come into contact with a child's cheek enough to leave a red mark? But in the same interview she states that "a challenging classroom situation contributed to the incident". I'm sorry but if teaching brings you to the point of assault then you shouldn't be a teacher 🤷🏼‍♀️ so my questions are:
Should it be a lifetime ban? And would you press charges as the parent?

Carseat Recommendations

We're in the process of buying a second car. I have a 5 month old baby. We want to buy a carseat for the new car, but not sure what to go for. We plan to have a second baby at some point in the next year or two, hence don't mind paying out for another carseat. At the moment I have an avionaut pixel pro 2.0, which my baby can use until he's about 12-15 months. I don't really want to buy another newborn carseat as it seems a waste of money. I want one that reclines as we do a lot of long journeys (my commute to work is 1 hr and on the days I work, he will be coming with me as my parents live 5mins away). Any recommendations would be great! Thank you :)

husband keeps telling me to stop nursing

my daughter is 14 months and my husband has been trying to get me to quit nursing her since she was like 4 months old. it’s been taking a toll on me that he’s not being supportive, i feel like any normal partner would be happy and supportive of their wife breastfeeding their baby for this long and even planning for longer. but he’s been so terrible to me about it. he told me i just shouldn’t even nurse or next baby. why’s he so hateful about it?? he can’t even tell me what he doesn’t like about it, just says i’m going to be nursing her till she’s like 4.
