Confession

I'm not judging you at all. When I was pregnant with my 2nd, after the 1st kid was in daycare and husband was at work. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese Biscuit from Chick-Fil-A like 4x a week for breakfast.

Totally have done this. I'm the primary breadwinner, but still feel guilty. I am sure to encourage my husband to get a treat for himself when he's out and about with our daughter so I feel better about it lol

While we’re on confessions… I feel this and raise you.. Confession: I’ll be having our second in December, and I’m recently a full time SAHM. I get tired way frequently nowadays. Our first is almost 15 months and will not nap if he isn’t up for at least 5 hours at a time… Sooooo it gets real fun if he wakes up past a certain time in the morning because he may or may not nap, or nap late…..and then be up wayyy late at night.😅 So, the confession. Sometimes I give my son 1/4 dose of baby Benadryl to help him fall asleep better😅😅😣😣 …..and then my brain goes to wonder the entire night or nap time if I’m creating an add*ct from giving him some.

@Ashley I’m sure you don’t do this every night? Every now and then I’m sure but frequent use can lead to dementia later on in life. Im not judging you, sometimes it gets really hard. Do you co-sleep with your 15mo?

Also can you maybe try panadol? Maybe she/he is just in pain.

@Zay oh yeah, not every night at all. It’s just been every now and again. Maybe once or twice every couple of weeks. Aw sheesh. I didn’t know that about the dementia later in life thing. 🫣😣

@Zay I don’t cosleep with him, no. He’s honestly been a great sleeper in his own bed since we moved him at 6 months or so😅 Until he hit one….and now it’s like, nap strikes etc galore lol We do do baby Tylenol cause I did see last week that he had a third bottom tooth coming in but man o man.😅🫣

With even the baby Tylenol, we totally use it sparingly too. It’s more of a, okay he’s not even taking a teether, or he’s got a fever and it in obvious pain, let’s give him a little help with the Tylenol, you know?

😂😂😂😂😂😂I love this I do it plenty

For them we have food at the house lol. My husband said “what’s for dinner” me with a full stomach “idk I’ll whip up something quick” 🤣😩

I do this too sometimes when I’m home alone with my youngest and when he takes a nap I just enjoy it for myself 😂 No judgment here

@Ashley you’re doing amazing! Maybe he just misses you when he wakes up and is probably teething so they get clingy when they are in pain hey? nothing wrong with medication 💕 You’re doing such a great job mumma! Just remember you’re not alone and this crying thing isn’t forever. Wish I could say that was the worst of my problems, I can’t get my 18 month old off my boob and in her own bed 😂 I honestly wish I started cot training from the beginning. Anyway good luck hope you get a good sleep tonight x
