Ok.. I don't know that I need advice so much as support right now (ok some advice for sure). My son is just over three months old and the most I've ever been away from him is when he was in the living room with his father while I was in the shower. I trust my husband and know that he loves Landen and will take just as much care with him as I do. I also know that I do need some adult time and have a wine time date tomorrow with some ladies in the area. I'm so nervous to leave him and all I do is think about what COULD go wrong (I literally think about the worst case in every scenario we encounter). I lost a pregnancy two years before I found out I was pregnant with Landen and I think that has a lot to do with me worrying about everything related to him.. I have spent almost a year making sure that he and I are both healthy and safe. I really want to go tomorrow, but my anxiety is starting to kick in and I'm thinking of ways to talk myself out of going.
I would try running to go get dinner or quick stop at the gas station without the baby. I went to get my phone changed over. it'll get better
The place I'm going is right up the road and he agreed to stay at home (for my sake), so I can get home quick if I start to meltdown.. He wants me to get my nails done, but that's a couple hour commitment and I'm not ready for that..
I had a MC 6 months before I found out I was pregnant and my baby is only a month old and I left him with my sister for 30 mins while I went up the road I literally felt like I was having a panic attack. I would try and slowly spend time away like start with 10 then go up from there
Yea, first time will be with daddy. He's been very understanding with my anxiety, but he keeps saying I should go out w the ladies or go get my nails done. Just do something nice for muself. I refused to leave him with the grandparents first time around. Plus it was the first few weeks of his life and I wanted to hold him every second.. People who have never lost don't understand the attachment to the babies we have gotten to get to know!!
You need to go out! You're leaving him with daddy, yeah? That's a good start. You never know what could happen where you need to have a grandparent or babysitter or something overnight or for a significant period of time. I know exactly how you feel. My daughter is my rainbow baby and this one will be as well. I had a miscarriage at 18, had my daughter at 20, had a miscarriage last year, and now I'll be 23 when this baby is born.
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...
Make your own breakfast!
At what age do you think a child should be making their own breakfast? I have a 10 year old and I think he is perfectly capable of making himself breakfast. It doesn't take rocket science to put some waffles into the toaster, or microwave some pancakes. My husband insists that he needs to have breakfast made for him because if we left it up to him he wouldn't eat enough and it would take him forever.
I need some advice my babies father gets really mad when he drinks liquor. He woke me up and started a big argument about the thermostat he completely destroyed the room and choked me this is the 2nd time he has done this. I'm going to church today and I'm not sure of what to do when he starts calling and texting to talk to me because he realized he messed up. I need some advice and solutions to help the problem.
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
@victoriaaaron12, maybe tonight I'll run and grab sodas from the convenient store.
