I think I did at some point, but I'm not 100% gentle parenting. I raise my voice like once a week

How do you….

Deal with the stress and anxiety of raising boys? I mean, these little dudes are going to be grown men, out in the world and will statistically date women. How do you handle the constant worry of “am I raising a good man? Am I showing him and teaching him how he should treat others and especially how to make sure he is an obvious safe person for women?”? I’m constantly second guessing myself and don’t want to harp on the kids but also need to make sure it sticks in their heads. Something as simple but critical as consent. I HAVE to make sure they have no questions when it comes to consent, that they understand it backwards and forwards. But what if I miss something or fail?

If you know your child committed a terrible crime that took a life, would you protect them from the law? (Not give info you know, lie, defend them, cover it up, etc)

Whether you are actively lying for them or covering it up vs cooperating with law enforcement or turning them in, what ya doing?

Positive pregnancy test with a 4 month old

I always said I wanted my kids close together because in my head it sounded sooo cute and fun 😂 Well now it’s actually happening and I’m slightly panicking lol.

I LOVED being pregnant and honestly was getting excited to try again soon… even had a few extra drinks recently because I knew if I got pregnant again they’d be gone for another 9 months 😂

Now I’m sitting here with a positive test holding my 4 month old wondering how people survive 2 babies this close together.

Moms who have done this please tell me the real 😂 Advice? Hacks? Reassurance?
