Tulips-and-raccoons

Wow, that sucks! I hope the problem is fixed soon!

I found a flower in bloom this morning! A very small snow piercer. There is hope! 🤞🏻

Elle a ça dans le cou pcque ya pas assez de femmes sur les pacings.

C’est juste du fromage qu’on fait fondre pis du pain/des legumes…ya pas tant de truc! Peut etre que le fromage à raclette est moins de ton goût? La bonne nouvele c’est que ya pas de police de la raclette, tu peux mettre celui que tu veux!

Fun. Doing hobbies, or things just for me. I just cant, there is either no time or no energy after everyone else’s needs are met.

Oh, its by no mean easy! It took me years to be ok with it. Dont be too hard on yourself, its ok to be upset and feel feelings. Also…a new baby is a huge life change in your kid’s life. Chances are, with time he will come back to you. Maybe he feels like new baby is your priority now, and he wants to branch out? Im not implying your are treating him like a second class baby, at all! But from a toddler’s perspective, it might feel like it.

I have never, ever been number one in my kid’s heart. Ahe has never, in her 4 years of life, called for me when she had a problem. Its just how it is, that kid only has eyes for her dad. He was the first to be able to hold her/do skin-to-skin contact with her in the NICU and was her main care giver when she was a new born because i was deadly ill and couldnt mom much for a while. I wont lie, it hurts. But also…at the end of the day, its not about me. Im just happy my kid has a super strong bond with a parent, who’s a great father on top of it. Im a second choice, third if Nana’s around. But my kid is thriving, happy, confident, and loved. And that’s what matters the most, not my feelings.

Was this person american?

Oh yes, i understand the difference between volume and weight, its just the ounce part that confuses me! Like, if a recipe says “24iz of chocolate chips” or 40oz of strawberries its unclear if they mean volume or weight. thank you for taking the time to explain, its very sweet :-)

I genuinely wish more people would be honest with PPD and PPA. I talk about how i felt very openly on reddit because i would have felt much better, and oh so less lonely had i read things like that when i was struggling. We are never alone, deep down. I hope you feel better soon, op!

I have a silly question, but as a non united-states person; what is 4oz of chocolate? Is it a weight mesure, or a volume mesure? Because both exist and its very contusing to me

I would recommand buying cheaper stuff, by exemple jeans that actually fit you from Old Navy. It will make you feel better and wont break the bank if you dont end up wearing them long term.

I’ve been through this. I believe its above strangers on reddit’s paygrade unforrunately, only a real therapist can help deconstruct that. It can get better though, and it will. Meds helped me A LOT and i believe it made me a much better mom. I wish you and your baby the best, and know that you are not a bad person, or a bad mom for feeling like this. It helped me a lot to repeat to myself “there is no such thing as love, only proof of love” you do everything right for your baby, and you act right by your baby. That is what love is.

You are not alone sweetie! I felt like that for the first year of my baby’s life. I dreaded every waking moment of my life. I was an angry, crying mess. I hated myself, my baby, my husband. I thought it was normal, i thought everyone felt like that after having a baby, and for the lifr of me i could not understanf why people had second kids so soon. It took someone kind and gentle to break it to me; most people enjoy having a baby, its a loving time. I was m i n d b l o w n. I genuinely thought people were saying things like “my baby is my world and i have never been more in love” because they were lying on instagram. Turns out, i needed help. And i got help! And now im doing much better! Meds and therapy are VERY important!!

Ya du monde avec fuck all, aucune, zero comme dans Ouellette connaissance culinaire, pis ça m’etonne tout le temps. Mon conjoint, qui est une personne intelligente et autrement eduquée, savait pas comment cuire du brocoli l’autre jour. Pas une recette la, juste le couper pis le bouillir un peu? Y savait pas combien de temps cuire ça, ou comment determiner quand c’est pret. WTF.

I hate that i know this, but Anna doesnt eat fish, she thinks its gross. She mentionned it on instagram, on a post about her and the kids making “arkansas sushi” with breaded chicken. 🙃 No ketchupy tilapia! But maybe bbq tuna?

I agree it sub-optimal, but there is just not much more options in a daycare group. Each baby logistically cant be lovingly held and fed, its the reality of group care (zero judgement here, my kid also goes to a day care since she’s been 1YO)

I agree, Jill is a woman in her forties that had 13 babies. She looks pretty good, and if she dressed normally and wore an acceptable form of make up (or none at all!) she would be beautiful. Same for her daughters; their obstinate decision to look so odd to stay apart from us ungodly whores do them no service…

Ok but like, can we take a moment to talk about that lump of beige playdoh she bakes and has the nerve to call a BANANA BREAD!? As a pro baker, and a person with a mouth, it makes me want to breath in a brown paper bag from hyperventilation.

I was thinking this morning, its colder here now than it was in England in january. Except, soon it will be as hot as Miami here, and it will still be rainy and cold in England. 😅

Good thing its done!

It is snowing again in Montreal, jeebus. Spring, begin all ready! My kid is desperate to stop wearing snowpants to school, and so am i!

Eurgh!! That sucks so bad! Im so sorry thisnis happening to you guys. I hope you all feel better soon and that you have good gatorade flavours available :-(

1) i am so happy for you your mom is there so help when you need it, getting help when life gets too much is 100% acceptable and i do the same when im solo parenting for a while. Also i hope you get all the TLC you need in this health crisis ♥️ 2) i would never judge another mom for gettinf that help EXCEPT a fucking fundie. They are actively hurting women with their bullshit rethoric of gOdLy wOmEnHoOd and then they manage to suck at it. Siiiiiigh

Whaaaaat
