Second child syndrome or autism?

Im stuck as I think my little one as signs but when I see/read others about their toddlers behaviour I can relate. He is 2 years old and not where he should be developmental but is it just lazy?

That could just be delayed some but will pick back up. Depends on what he's delayed in and if he makes eye contact? Does he respond to his name? Look when your point or ask him to pick up something?

What areas are he delayed in?

He will respond to name and give eye contact. He doesn’t look when I point but will copy when I clap hands. Hes doesn’t talk just babbles and says mama and isn’t walking.

Personally I don’t believe in a child being “lazy” if they can’t walk by two definitely get a professional involved if you haven’t already it’s most likely a developmental delay

There are plenty of reasons for delay besides autism. If you're not seeing signs of sensory issues or hyperfixation on certain things then it's unlikely to be autism more likely global delay or something else holding him back which may sort itself out or may need further support but I would definitely be pushing for support if he's not walking or talking yet.

Is it a woman's duty to have sex with their partner no matter how she feels and to even put her babies 2nd just to please him?

Even if she is post-partum, the default parent, doing everything around the house or maybe not feeling up to it... Should her duty be to have sex? Otherwise he has a "right" to go elsewhere for it or a "right" to treat her unfairly if doesn't? Also should the babies/children come last just to fulfill this "duty"?

Help. Are men really this lazy??

My boyfriend and I drunk till 4am on Friday night and I woke him at 7.45 on Saturday morning to open his front door to go to work. But he never messaged me till 3.40pm and said he was only wakened. He was really drunk on the Friday night but do guys really sleep this long ? I could never sleep this long no matter what!’

How is everyone having sex with so little time?

Honestly, having a newborn/baby under 1 is already challenging specially with the nights where the baby is fighting sleep…how is everyone here finding the time to have sex? Also with bigger wake windows and no family support around to watch the baby!!

When did contact naps end for you?

When were you able to put your baby in a crib or bassinet for naps without your baby waking up or crying.

Putting the baby down

Hey, I have a 5 month old baby boy who is so clingy towards me. I absolutely love it and I love him to pieces; however I cannot get him to go down at all. I know they say co sleeping is dangerous, but I’ve done a lot of research and follow a lot of women who co sleep with their babies on instagram to make sure I do it the safest way possible because he just will not go in his crib. If I put him down, he instantly cries and will scream the place down until I pick him up. I don’t know what to do, I can’t get anything done around the house and my body is just so achey all the time from holding him 24/7. Any tips??? I’ve tried loads but nothing works, I can’t even get him on the dummy, he can’t keep it in his mouth and he just wants to eat his hands all the time x

Intimacy at 36 weeks

Are people still managing to have sex? The last few times we’ve had sex I’ve felt so much pressure down below that I’ve genuinely feared that I might go into labour. Wondering if it might be time to stop until baby is here? 🤷‍♀️
