Do people care less about my second baby?
Baby boy is now 9 days old, and for some reason I’m really letting it get to me that we’ve received fewer cards/gifts than we did first time around 😢 I know that sounds really shallow but it’s still a huge life event for us, but I guess people seem to think you must be fine second time? My love language is gift giving and I always make sure to send at least a card for any big life event. My mum often reminds me that not everyone’s love language is the same as mine though.
I kind of want someone to tell me to snap out of it because I know it’s a bit stupid, but I wondered if anyone else is experiencing this..?

Same here, a lot less fuss but im embracing less visitors as first time round it got too much
Same here, we haven’t received any gifts for number 2 from family or friends. Only a couple of cards. Got excited when DPD turned up at the door but it was just the binbags I had ordered 🥲

I feel the same. I feel like family just don’t bother this time round. When I had my first my family would come visit a lot but now they’ve only come round once to meet him. It took my mum 3 weeks to come visit you’d have thought my mum would have wanted to be there considering how traumatic my birth was
