So this is what it would be like being a father.

I live in two floors house. When family kids are here, this place turns into one big messy hell. Milk bottles everywhere..baby bags, diapers..lot of bottles, hot and cold water containers.. and cups and spoons and so many toys. I have also found couple of bras somewhere because their mothers' breastfed them at night.
We live in an open plan house. When i had my daughter i hosted a coffee afternoon for other new mums and my hubs came home and directly went back out again .....one of the mums had completely stripped off her blouse to feed her baby ...... even the rest of us were surprised

@HijabaDabbaDoo baby shower killed my baby fever

I can only imagine how bad it is for people who start families in apartments or smaller spaces.

@CrazyMusicLover I think rarely do people put much productive thought into having children. If they did, the world would have been far better place for all of us.

@Miram In many cases yes but she couldn't have known all those things would happen. It seems to me pregnancy is always a lottery, some women don't have a single problem and other suffer from one complication after another. For her it was the latter and on the top of it her kid was somewhat hyperactive too. On the other hand, I guess a calm quiet baby is more of a rarity and if you know you're going to live in a single room apartment, problems are inevitable regardless if your kid sleeps well or not.

It is important to know and accept that by getting pregnant, you're always potentially risking your own life whether short or long term, even if you've had your entire medical profile mapped out, there are still risks and those are just approximate predictions.

The part that annoys me though is how people are quick to have children before ensuring their child will grow up is safe and healthy context, especially financially.

Money is really important. It is important for their education, their physical security, the quality of healthcare they will recieve...everything.

And more crucial than that is their ability to parent . We cannot be the best parent they can have if we have no ability to manage our moods, mental illness, still struggling with addictions, can't manage healthy life style..etc. We don't have to be perfect but there certainly needs be level of willingness to grow and learn. I don't see that with most people who want to have kids, it is just the next step in social life.

@Elessar k then. Stay a virgin if you want. That's fine too.

@Miram Childless ≠ virgin

Miram · 31-35, F
@MellyMel22 how do you super moms do it?
MellyMel22 · F
@Miram I was pretty together with all the baby stuff. You wouldn’t find it around 😂 I’m anal with that kinda stuff.

I have always wanted to have a family, but it definitely seems really daunting

Daddy Miram.
We had sooo many things. Where she was prem and tiny tiny, we had extra small stuff from the hospital and then normal sized baby stuff for when she grew. We didnt have time to buy much before she was born so made it up as we went along. Still didn't use most of it

Love babies, hate hate hate baby stuff. Seriously, parents have way too much unneccessary baby stuff. Crub, pen, stroller, high chair car seat, bottle. That's all they need. Everything else is just garbage
@MethDozer didn't have a pen or a bottle .... but will say sleep deprivation leads you to make some poor shopping decisions
