I’m still shook from what I saw at my cousin’s house. Tell me why she’s making her baby a bottle… and I see her add cereal, baby food, AND a little extra formula like she’s whipping up a protein shake. I’m like “what is all that?” She laughs and goes, “It’s a knock-out bottle. He’ll sleep all night.” EXCUSE ME??? This baby is barely old enough to sit up. Instead of waking up to feed him, comfort him, or figure out WHY he’s crying, you’re trying to sedate him with a heavy bottle so you can sleep?? That’s not a parenting hack that’s laziness wrapped in a bottle. And the wild part? She got offended when I said something. Told me I was “judging” and that “every mom does it.” NO. Every mom absolutely does NOT do that. Some of us actually get up, lose sleep, and deal with our kids instead of trying to knock them out like a light switch. If you’re so tired you need to drug-feed your baby into unconsciousness just to get rest… maybe the issue isn’t the baby. I said what I said

For the women who don’t have it all together—but show up anyway.
Losses nobody talks about. Love that didn’t love you back. Betrayal you had to survive. Motherhood on empty. Shopping to feel normal again. Healing out loud. Crying in private. Laughing when you can. This isn’t perfection—it’s real life. If you’ve ever felt alone in it… you’re NOT !

So my boyfriend’s phone rings early this morning at like 5:45. I’m still half asleep 😴 but I can still hear a little bit of the conversation. So I hear him all soft spoken comforting the mother of his kids and just doing too much. She called crying and in dystress talking about one of the kids fell off of the stairs. We don’t have a car right now because he wrecked my car but he tells her to come and pick him up! I jumped up out of my sleep so fast and told him if he steps foot outside of this house to go ride with her he bet not EVER come back! That child already has his mom so why does Michael have to get up at 5 something in the morning to ride with her. She can call him with updates when she takes that kid to the ER just like she called him this morning, but he is not leaving to go ride with her. It’s probably just some little scratches anyways and she wants to call my man being dramatic looking for sympathy. Girl bye ✌️
