3blessings`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll How much does your hubby help with your baby? Mine works the night shift, then sleeps most of the morning (until like 2-3pm). Then he wakes up and doesn`t really want to hold her that much, yet expects the cooking, cleaning, and laundry to be done!!!

My husband also works the night shift. When he gets home in the morning he`ll let me sleep and will do the feedings I breastfeed and pump) I`ll wake by 11a and take over. He`ll sleep and wake and help some more before he goes to work so I can get ready for the night.

I look after our 8 week old all day while he is at work, and when he gets home, he takes over. Also, I get up with her in the night during the week, and on weekends he does it, so I can sleep in :)

lucky ladies...my ex husband NEVER hardly did a thing to help with our son and yet still expected me to keep our house spotless and have a hot supper on the table every night. I havent had much luck in getting either of my sons dads to step up. My oldest is 7 and my youngest is 4. Thankfully i know im gonna have as much help as i want or need with this one...his dad is pretty great. I think i will actually have to tell him and his fam to back off sometimes lol.

mine works the night shift too... gets home anywhere between 2am-5am......... he`s able to sometimes get off early, so in the beginning he would and come home (not tired yet) and stay up all night and do everything for baby.... just bring her to me when i needed to nurse her. He sleeps in until about 3pm but he wants to be a part... holds her etc. Good luck... kick his butt!

Mines is really good, when he comes home from work he tells me to sit down and he`ll take over.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
