So I guess I never thought of this until right now of course. But how did everybody deal with visitors coming to the hospital after you gave birth? And how long did you wait for someone else other than the father hold your baby? I'm kind of freaking out now because my fiancés whole side of the family is crazy, including his moms friends. I know they're all going to want to show up and I don't want just anybody holding my son. I want to have some alone time with him first and bond.
That's EXACTLY how I was. Especially with my SO family. I was honestly so annoyed. I didn't want anyone there but me and my boyfriend. And I wanted my baby all too myself. I'm also still too this day a germ freak. None of his family respects that either so it pisses me off I keep her all too myself
My mom was in the room with me along with my husband when I had my son, hoping it will be the same this time around, but I of course held him first, then my husband, my mom held him probably about an hour or two after he was born. My dad, my sister and niece and nephew didn't come until the next day, which was fine with me. I had one friend visit(she actually worked at the hospital and was on lunch break) she didn't hold him but I would of been fine with it if she had wanted to. I guess it's all your personal wants.
I just flat out said no visitors besides my very close family! my MIL came to help with my older daughter, my dad came and his gf(whos closer to me than my mom) Those are the only people who have held my baby as well! All of my employees/coworkers wanted to come but I told them I had a rough labor and wasn't up for visitors
The only person that came to visit was our at home nurse. And no one has held our daughter besides her doctor, me, and her dad. When she hit three months a lady from church held her.
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. ?
