So I'm thinking about leaving my almost 4 yr old and my newborn, which will probably be about 1- 1 1/2 weeks old with my mother and father in law over night so me and my husband can have a full day and over night to our selfs to just have a few drinks relax, no video games, no facebook, to reconnect and socialize. I don't know if leaving them over night that young is a good idea. I know it will be hard. but what do you all think. I understand everyone has there own opinions but, please don't be rude. Thanks.
You're welcome :) someone told me that once and it stuck with me. Made me realize how important it is to nurture our marriages even in the midst of nurturing our children :) I plan on doing something similar when my baby comes :)
Thank you @canaryv you are so right!!
ok. Yea this pregnancy has been hard on me, I guess both of us. we haven't been giving g each other the time we need. we have neglected eachother so much that I feel we are loosing our connection. that's not good. we have been together for 12 yrs. staying connected is hard after so long. lol. but your right. thanks so much
I think it would be very beneficial :) your marriage is just as important as your children 💛 in the end your children will grow up and form their own lives; it's your husband that'll be with you forever :)
Do what you think is best for you and your husband. It's so easy for a man to feel ignored or not needed. We don't have children yet, only angel babies, but we get so wrapped up in work and always having friends over, hosting gatherings, etc. and he will tell me he feels ignored or unimportant. Husband comes first! :)
we need it pretty bad. and I wanna do it sooner than later. and I was thinking the newborn stage is alittle bit easier than 1 or 2 months old. Thank you, it makes me feel better that someone agrees with me @mlgh92
I think it's a great idea if you guys are in need of reconnecting.
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...
Locking your doors
We are having a discussion on one of my birth boards from my older kids about locking doors and security alarms. There are many of us (me included) who do not lock our doors at home (I actually don't even have a deadbolt on my house and we don't lock it when we leave either), and others who think that's totally weird. So what do you do? Do you lock your doors? Do you think it's weird that people don't?
I don't care what ppl think of me, but I'm seriously considering putting my baby up for adoption. I love her with all of heart, but doing this alone is hard. Every single night she just screams to the top of her lungs and I do everything to soothe her. I don't know what to do at all. I wish I had some kind of help. I don't have a single ounce of help. I don't know a single soul in Minnesota either.
I don't think she gets it.
I swear sometimes I just need to renew my policy to not look at the comments in Facebook. I never used to. I don't know why I started. But the ignorance is real.
💜I just kept thinking that maybe I was being selfish and maybe shouldn't be leaving the baby over night so soon. but it sucks to feel this way about eachother, and we have felt this way for too long. it's gotta be fixed sooner than later you know!?
