I am on mobile, so I apologize for not flaring. I just have to get this off my chest. I feel awful. I am so jealous and a bit bitter. This is long.

My friend just had a baby. Her baby girl is apparently a dream baby and she literally just sent me a text that said, "I feel so rested!"

Kill me now.

I did not expect it to bother me so much, but I honestly feel like I could break down and cry right now. This is not the only easy baby I know. In fact, it seems like most kids I know are/were easy babies.

My child is very high needs. He has to be in my arms all the time, or touching me in some way. He's almost two and it's always been this way.

My child couldn't breastfeed. I tried for month

Sorry for not flaring- I'm on mobile.

Today is my sons early intervention evaluation. I am so nervous. He will be 19 months old on Friday and he doesn't talk. He is incredibly clumsy. He barely sleeps. He flaps his hands. Countless other signs of ASD, and I am having an incredibly hard time with this. I will love him regardless, but I just feel like I failed him. The mom guilt is real. I'm worried about what my boyfriend will say. He doesn't want an autistic son, and he's made it clear that he's unhappy about this evaluation. I feel like I have no one I can talk to about this. I just want my baby to be ok. They are coming in two hours, and I've already had to redo my eye makeup twice becaus

I'm not sure if this is the best subreddit for this post but I love you ladies, and "broken" is starting to feel like the only word that describes how I feel lately.

I am having an incredibly difficult time finding a mom group that I fit into. I have tried a few and recently thought I may have found a good one. After a few months, however, I realized it was not a good fit. I'm starting to run out of options in the area it seems. I had no idea it would be this hard! Just to give you an idea of crazy shit that has happened in only the past month..

1. A girl I started to form a friendship with went on a rant about the Obama family. She called them classless and compared them to apes. She used

Literally everything.

My 14mo just ran full speed at the corner of the kitchen cabinet. He has a huge goose egg. Line and all. Currently freaking out, worried it's going to split. This is only three weeks after we went to the ER for stitches from hitting a table.

I don't know why he does this. I stay at home with him, and he never leaves my sight. He is constantly trying to jump off of things, throw himself backward, run directly into sharp objects, tip over chairs, etc. He loves it. He laughs like a maniac. He has a death wish! I'm sure of it.

I'm not an inattentive mom but I feel like total shit right now. I'm too anxious for this shit.

Edit: ok ladies it didn't split and I think we are in the clear. I goog

Has anyone else experienced their hair changing colors after having a baby? I've of course got a ton of new grays, but the strangest thing I've noticed is that my eyebrows and a small patch of hair around my temples is coming in golden blonde. I have very dark brown hair naturally, so this is starting to look funny!

I haven't changed my makeup, shampoo, laundry detergent, face wash, anything. I don't seem to have any other signs of a hormone imbalance. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar. Thanks!

This is my first post, but you ladies always give great advice so I'm hoping you can help me out.

We are having our son's first birthday party in a few weeks. It has accidentally turned into quite the event. We sent the polite, obligatory invites to friends and family very far away that never actually come but want to feel included and hang the postcard on their fridge. Well... They all responded and have decided to come. This never happens. Cue internal freak out because over 40 people are coming!

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good ideas/recipes to feed a large crowd that won't break the bank? The party is from 12-2 and we were going to have lunch and cake, but I'm feeling overwh

Hello! I've been lurking here for a bit and after our pediatrician told us she would like us to attempt CIO, I have some questions. I'll try to include all the details in hopes someone can give me some advice. Apologies for the long wall of text ahead and thanks so much in advance if anyone reads it all! :)

My son is almost 10 months old and EFF. For the first two months of his life, he had to be constantly held to sleep. We tried everything. He would never go to sleep any other way. He has never taken a pacifier or swaddle. Around four months, he finally started letting us put him in the swing for naps and bed time. I know that isn't recommended, but we were desperate and at that point, w

My first real "binge" of the pregnancy. What did you eat today or wish you had? :)
