opinions needed ladies !!!
my mom wants to help when we have new baby this month by taking the two older kids for two weeks so that I have a little recovery time and can get adjusted ....I know the older kids need get adjusted to new baby though to! I feel like I'm cheating if we let this happen, my husband got a job offer a couple years ago and we moved about two hours from my family all I have is a few from his side out here and I think it would be nice if we had those first two weeks alone with baby and then I second guess myself like no Stacy that's cheating ... any thoughts would be appreciated !
That is definitely a blessing to have her offer, with my second and third it was especially necessary to have family take care of my older kids not only while I recovered from my c section, but just to get used to having a new baby.
It depends on how you feel. If you feel like you can handle everyone after a week, take them back. If not, no shame in letting them stay another week.
Totally up to you. Maybe a week and then she can come to the house and help the second week?
thanks ladies @babes101116 @kreese88 and @arivera64 lol that's awesome of her to do ! I'm having a cesarean as well and getting tubes tied so Dr said I'm going be more than sore for a couple weeks with two major stomach surgeries do you ladies think two weeks is to long maybe I should only let them stay for a week? its nothing against my mom she's great and loves the kids to death and she is just trying to help as much as can even though she lives two hours away ! I just am freaking out ! lol
Do it. You need that time. My mother in law took my oldest for a few days when my second was born especially because of my cesarean. And when the 3rd was born, she took the older 2. Lol When i have this one, she'll take all 3!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
@arivera64, that's a good idea @babes101116 yeah I could start slow with the first week lol and @surprise4 thanks for pointing out the blessing I guess I was feeling guilty but it seems I'm not the only mom ever to do this ! and that makes me feel so much better ladies thanks again for your input!
