i do it... my hubby has to get up for work at 445 in the morning ... however on weekends he gets up.. i think its a fair trade..

ughhh it was horrible when i first had brianna...i thought i was going to go crazy from lack of sleep, stupid pride & stubbornness,and the need to seriously slap some common sense into my husband... i was breastfeeding and pumping because i figured she would still be getting milk from me and then my husband would be able to get up with her at night to give me a break... YEAH RIGHT!! i would wake him when i`d hear her and then i`d roll over to go back to sleep thinking he got up to go get her, NOPE he literally sat up in bed scratched his eyes yawned and went back to sleep, so id wake up to her screaming 5 minutes later and have to do it myself anyways..so when i finally got the whole, oh its ok take a nap i got her from my husband i was like FU i`ll do it myself. shes 7 months old now and things ARE going WONDERFULLY, she is just as attached to daddy as she is to me and he helps out great now that i`m working nights(haha cuz he has to)..but those first 6 weeks..wow

My husband gets the baby, changes her diaper, and brings her over for me to nurse in bed. I am thinking maybe I am kind of mean...nah.

I do because I breast feed so I tell my hubby not to get up. Not much he can do.

Just me because I breast feed. He did get up with our first born, but this time it`s all me and it doesn`t bother me because he`s extremely helpful when he gets home from work and on the weekends with our older son.

We trade wake ups. I do one, then he does one. On the weekend we trade sleep ins - I get to sleep in on Saturdays and he sleeps in on Sundays. My daughter is 7 months old now and is equally attached to both of us. If Dad puts her to sleep, she doesn`t need Mom. This is perfect situation for us because I`m expecting Baby #2 in April and my daughter will be able to handle less time with me as I breastfeed the new one.

well my daughter is not a newborn shes 6 months but actualy my baby stil wakes up every 2 hours for a feeding my husband takes care of her at night and ill take care of her in the morning, the only reason to that is cause im almost 5 months pregnant and im in so much pain to get out of bed every 2 hours

  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,.....
