anyone else a sociopath until you had your baby?

incognito because obviously this makes me look bad or whatever but it’s insane… i learned cognitive empathy growing up but never had it naturally, but i started feeling empathy to my baby when she was born but it’s spreading to other people now and fuck it’s so helpful for conversing and connecting… didn’t realise how much of the picture i was missing when talking to people, it’s like gaining vision or hearing for the first time… i’m getting every reaction and thing i say right every time without having to work it out, i actually teared up when a friend did the other day it’s WILD. is it just me this has happened to?

side note how the fuck do the rest of you and especially empaths function day to day?

Screaming baby🙃.

So how do I let my neighbours know that I’m not torturing my baby? He’s just hungry for actual food but doesn’t understand he can’t eat and have his hands in his mouth at the same time so is screaming blue murder🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Nursery advice

My little one is starting nursery next month (😭) and other than a settling in session the week before 🫠 we have been given no other info!
Can someone advise on what they take? From clothes, nappies, creams etc. thanks!

What would you do in this case?

My husband has mental health issues, so has left us and moved back with his mum and siblings. So the last two years I’ve been solely caring for our children who’s both under 5. He does chip in at times, but he’s always so depressed.

The mum made our life hell before. So my husband doesn’t speak to her. So she calls me now and then ( we still try to visit her and son stays over some weekends). But I think she is still under the impression that I need to visit her every week. ( my husband does not stay at home during the day, he prefers staying out) so I will just be with her and the kids and the siblings etc.

Would you voluntarily want to visit her?
I am worried if I don’t, then she will deny my husband staying there- which means more stress for us. But then that’s her son, and she should still try do something?

Any speech therapists on here pls?

My 18 month old can only say mum dad star ba for ball car tries to say tracktor and digger and oof for ‘woof’ for a dog. He grunts a lot of the time is this normal should he be saying more

Do you think something is wrong with a 6+ month old if they are waking at night?

Aka means they need to eat more food and they shouldn't be given water or formula at night, so they sleep 8-12 hours straight.

I just find it wild that people don't think it's normal for a 6+ month old to wake up during the night...

Mom guilt..

Just found out I’m pregnant with #2 (planned). However I’m in a state of sadness and feel like I’m letting down my firstborn. He’s 2 1/2 and will be 3 years and some change when #2 is born. I’ve always wanted 3 kids but this mom guilt is killing me. I feel like I won’t love second baby as much or that I’ll neglect my firstborn during those newborn days.
We keep asking him if he wants baby brother or sister and he as ALWAYS said sister and now I’m worried if it’s a brother he won’t like him 😂 I’m an emotional wreck and just need advice to calm my hormones down.
