I can't stand when I get things that say "free, no hidden fees" then they expect me to pay shipping... Thats not free and technically that's a hidden fee because you wait until the past page to tell me about it. I really wanted the little einsteins books
The phrase "sleep when the baby sleeps". So when am i supposed to eat, shower or do chores? This only applies when your husband isn't at work or when your baby isn't a newborn. I get some good rest at night but naps aren't a thing
I'm weaning off pumping and am incredibly happy about it! (Baby is in NICU and currently not allowed to eat so I was storing milk) I felt chained to that damn thing and my breasts are finally feeling less sore and my time with LO and with my older two and my sleep aren't hampered by needing to pump all the time. I wanted to BF but I feel so free having reprioritized in light of my personal circumstances!
Why can't I just get a feeding tube? I would be much happier having one. I keep getting so distracted with DD2 that I forget my insulin or to even eat. I have lost all my baby weight, but it's not good to have crappy blood sugar levels.

This! My husband tells me everyday "nap when she naps" but seriously she eats every 3 hours, after that we do tummy time and play for an hour and the time she actually sleeps its only for about an hour. In that hour I eat, sanitize bottles, get dressed, maybe watch a show and shes back up and we do it all over again.
I've been trying to nap all day. Little girl has been fighting sleep. She yawns, fusses, we nurse, she falls asleep. I put her down. Shes up. I think i need to quit coffee
I am NOT counting down the days to be cleared for sex. I love my man, I am not in any pain "down there," I am actually mostly okay with my body right now (or okay enough that I don't feel completely unsexy), and motherhood is going well enough (no ppd)...yet my desire for sex is just non existent.
I can't see myself leaving my baby with anyone so I can go to work.... I sent LO to the nursery the day after he as born (in the hospital) and I bawled until they brought him back to my room two hours later. I go to the store and leave LO with SO and I get anxious and hurry back.
I still think it's weird that I didn't go anywhere without him for almost 10 months and now I have the option to leave him and that's just weird to me...
As a teacher and an English major, the terrible use of spelling and grammar on most online forums drives me insane. While "text speak" language is used for speed and convenience, it is increasingly finding it's way into the formal writing of students as well as professional communication. We are setting a terrible example for kids and It just looks lazy and unprofessional. Also using incorrect punctuation like exclamation marks for every sentence or elipsies all over the place. Excalamation marks indicate excitement or yelling and an elipsies indicates a lengthy pause for effect, or the omission of a word or thought. I can't tell you how often students writing is littered with incorrect exclamation marks.
@sea8884 - Totally agree! The toddler through kindergarten years are my absolute favorite time of life for kids - they're so curious and funny. I can't wait until LO is in that phase, though I am, of course, enjoying the newborn snuggles as much as I can, (while being exhausted.)
Everyone says not to rush the baby time and enjoy it. Honestly I cannot wait until my son is walking and talking and more aware of the world.
I couldn't wait to get the baby stage over with my son, as he was a fussy baby, and I will admit the toddler years were a blast, but after realizing how fast it does go by I'm trying to savor the baby stage this time around. It seems those with easy newborns/infants will tell you the toddler stage is harder and those with fussy infants will say toddlerhood is a hell of a lot easier (as was the case with my son).
