That's old school eh
Feelings were not a thing, and if it popped up - you just suppress it and move on.
I bet you are very different with your boys... actually no need to bet... I see how you are with them... and you are amazing :D
Aww thanks, I try hard to not make the same mistakes as our parents but sometimes it can still come through when you’re tired and get a little snappy. But yeh emotions are not to be shown in my mums house.. else they are often ignored, they don’t know how to deal with it.
Whenever my mum calls me on the phone and the baby is crying she’s like why is he crying again? Is he hungry? Does he not eat enough, you should feed him more rice! Etc haha.. but really most of the time he was just having separation anxiety or tired
I remember my daughter was like this the first 6 months. I used to sleep with her on my chest. If I place her down, she would scream like her life depended on it. And she was a very tiny baby, but her cries - woah.
And during confinement when I stayed with my parents, they'd say the same things which were frustrating of course.
But I know they meant well, but you know your nerves are already raw and then...
One day, out of the blues, she was okay sleeping in her cot, and would sleep sometimes for 11 hours. I used to poke her to make sure she was okay initially haha
Hopefully P, will be in a good enough place to sleep through the night which means you too get to sleep through the night <33
Wow that’s amazing that they can change just like that! 11 hours!! I was at the drs today and the midwife nurse there said he might be really sensitive in his gums/teething
