This might happen in our house. And it would probably NOT be an assumption on my side that dh did anything wrong, but rather panic in my voice because my dd got hurt. Are you sure she blamed you?

I have a pouch sling and used it with dd until she was almost 2 (she would sit on my hip or on my back in it at the end). I LOVE my pouch sling! I have a homemade wrap but could never get it tied just right - it's possible that a store-bought one would be better though.

We don't spank. I do not believe there is such a thing as a "good spanking".

Most of my friends think like we do wrt parenting (non-spanking), although we are more non-punitive while many of my friends do embrace some punishment. I don't have a problem with that, but I would struggle to be close friends with someone who spanked their kids in my presence or in front of my...

We did CIO once when dd was about 4 months. Never again. I can't do that to my baby again. I'm all she has and all she wants when she's crying, and I just can't deny her that comfort. She's now almost 2 and we still rock her to sleep; nowadays it takes about 5 minutes to get her asleep and put...

It took me a while to figure out the pump - and I had an electric one. Make sure your nipples are wet (hand-express a few drops and rub it on) and that you're not using too much suction. A warm wet cloth on your breast beforehand can also help encourage let-down.

I earn more than my dh, and will continue to do so unless something drastic happens. We're both comfortable with our choices, and it works for us.

I'm with Lynn. I wouldn't even consider another guy as an option when I'm spitting mad at my dh (which doesn't happen often!) He's the greatest thing that ever happened to me since I found Jesus - why would I want anybody else?

When I got pregnant with dd, at 3 days late I got a negative. I went to the dr and got a positive blood test, and a week later when I was 10 days late I tested again on the home test and got a very light second line. So I don't really trust home tests!

I totally understand your frustration, but I agree that it's possible the events were just too much for him to handle and he couldn't do anything other than what he did.

:doh:indeed.

I think registration at GCM is open again now... I just wanted to share with everyone how awesome my husband is. Before our dd was born, we assumed we would spank - we both come from punitive backgrounds. From here, I found GCM when dd was a few months old, and started researching and came...

Honestly, I think in the last weeks of pregnancy I get really selfish. I expected dh to drop everything at my request, to put my needs before his all the time. I felt sorry for myself with the pregnancy getting harder, and expected him to feel sorry for me too. I'm not saying that's what the OP...

No!
