Have you ever shouted at your child?

Out of anger/ frustration / overwhelm

I've never totally lost it but there have definitely been times where I've been a bit snappy, "CAN YOU PLEASE JUST GIVE ME SOME SPACE?" when I am being used as a human climbing frame 🤣

I’m a yeller even just talking 🫣

Yes I did. Quite rare tho and I always repaired the relationship after by apologizing and explaining it was my fault for not managing my stress/anger.

Absolutely. I have teenagers.

I yell. I scream. My natural disposition is one of those, it’s my BPD symptom. I live in the world of guilt for being the way I am. I try every day to make myself better. For her.

Of course.

I have raised my voice. But I have not shouted. But I find my daughter does does better when I talk to her and if she isn't listening I get stern but I try not to raise my voice.

One night, I was extremely exhausted and my daughter wouldn’t go to sleep. I became overwhelmed and went into her room to give her my laptop so she could watch her favorite cartoons. In that moment, I yelled and fell, hitting my neck. I suddenly couldn’t breathe and lost consciousness. I woke up shortly after, ran into the hallway, and broke down crying. My daughter asked if I was okay, and I held her until my husband got home. I later went to the ER. Sometimes it’s best you apologizes we all have our breaking points!

Baby went underwater

Tonight I asked my husband if he would rather change the sheets on the bed, or give our 8 week old baby a bath. He chose the bath (which I normally do). I was a little nervous as he had never bathed him alone before (just watched me do it), but trusted they’d be fine. 4 minutes into the bath I hear my baby screaming upstairs. I was immediately worried since he loves his baths. I ran upstairs and my husband is holding him horizontal and smacking his back. He said he slipped in his tub and went underwater. I know it was an accident, but I’m honestly furious. It was a no-soap night, so it was just water, but obvs dirty water. We clean him well during diaper changes, but this boy poops a LOT. And I know when my husband changes him he’s not as thorough as me.

I’m worried about a few things;

1. Water in his lungs (and secondary drowning due to aspiration)
2. Bacterial infection from ingesting dirty bath water
3. Ear infection

Should I take him to the emergency room?

If this has ever happened to you please comment with your experience and if your baby was ok.

Advice needed from co-sleeping mothers with toddlers

My son is 1 and half years old I have co-slept since day one he used to fall asleep pretty easy but the last 2 months have been hell it's like world war 3 every night to try to even get him to lay down let alone go to sleep I'm not sure what is going on or if I'm doing something wrong or I need to change he's bedtime routine or if he needs to go in he's now cot now I'm at my wits end any advice would be amazing.

I let him watch TV while having he's milk then we turn the tv off and wind down he used to just fall asleep no problem but the last 2 months he is refusing to lay down even when he's very tried I'm having to tell him off multiple times for him to listen after maybe a hour or 2 he will go to sleep but then I feel like the worlds worst parent because I'm having to tell him off its awful. 🥲

How was your libido postpartum? Mine is 0.

I rarely have the desire (or energy) for sex anymore, and my partner does. I could wake him up from his death and he’d be willing to go at it, anytime, any place. I have the urge sometimes but most of the time I’m so exhausted / tapped out / drained, I just don’t have the capacity for sex. We used to be at it like rabbits, and now I barely even want affection from him.

Does anyone relate?

(For context, we have 2 under 2, our relationship is strained (naturally under the pressure of young children so close together), I am exclusively breastfeeding our youngest and am 4 months postpartum.)
