One Day Of Winter #4 Reading this thread ‘isn’t her jam’, meanwhile R's got the baby in a choke slam.

Basically, having a baby is absolutely terrifying. I remember thinking the 12 week scan was the milestone. Then finding out what could happen at the 20 week scan. Then viability. Then reading about stillbirth etc. I was so naïve before I had my own child and still am in a lot of ways.

I think the message was a warning to her from that poor poor mother.
Like, you're doing it wrong, please take notice, this is what happened to me?

I think so too, I think this Mum pulled her up on not using the wrap properly, and told her what happened to her baby, and Pea has just shared the safe wearing practices not acknowledging her own failings!

I agree. It only seems to get worse too. I find myself now over thinking about other ways them could come to harm

Me too. Being a parent is actually terrifying. I remember when I’d had my second baby, after losing my first, thinking that the worry would stop once he was born breathing-it definitely doesn’t stop...it’s literally never ending worry isn’t it

FFS!! LEAVE DAMIEN ALONE TO PLAY AND GO HAVE A CUP OF TEA, A SHOWER OR A MEAL WITH SOME TEXTURE AND LEAFY GREENS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!

The wrinkles on her face

You can see every dip and curve of her skull.

Out to the bike park on her birthday why can’t she just do something nice for herself ever and why does everything have to revolve around R? Why not drop R off at the grandparents and do some with Dean? Or at least choose something you actually get to enjoy too with the family. R just rules that house. Bet she opened her presents and cards too

I thought that too! I mean I’m sure I’ve aged too especially homeschooling during covid but wow she doesn’t look anywhere near her age

 

[Booboothefool]

How old is she does anyone know?

I thought the same. I'm way older than her and my skin is nothing like that yet. She looks so haggard.

I think most birthdays I've had since parenthood have been spent doing something with the kids in the day. Especially with the way things are at the moment. HOWEVER I don't then go on social media and brag how I've sacrificed my day for my kids like I'm supermum - because I'm not I just like spending time with my family like most people - and lets me honest we aren't spoilt for choice right now.

I'd say that she has this evening to spend with Dean but he will be sitting in his room with his hat on playing Xbox I'd imagine while she sits on the living room floor/makeshift bed feeding Raven to sleep and preparing activities for tomorrow.

I loved the way Dean says in the colouring in video, it doesn't matter because you tried your best aka it doesn't matter Raven you're not a child prodigy just have fun

She’s starting to look like Skeletor!

Damien is literally sucking the life out of her, with every milky cuddle she has

Think she’s 35 today. 35 going on 75!

I know that post is meant to be cute with Raven holding the mummy sign. But all I can see is her teeth. Like jesus christ I never noticed how big they were for her stature...I kinda hope she grows into them an that gap doesn't widen

 

[TheLastLolo]

I posted close ups of her teeth but they got removed but yeah... Sooooo buck toothy lately.

Framing the envelope. Jesus Christ. Nicola thinks she's the only kid who can write/copy down letters at 3.5.

Makes me wonder if it's something to do with breastfeeding? Swear I read somewhere that breastmilk is quite sugary, and wondering if that's having an effect on her teeth as she grows

 

[Booboothefool]

I know prolonged use of bottles and dummies can cause teeth to grow in bucked, don't know if the same applies to breastfeeding?
I think shes just unlucky and got her mums gaunt face shape.

looking at the recent picture of the 4 of them..i actually think Raven resembles Dean more facially..especially the mouth

I was going to say this. It is no different to thumb sucking really.

Definitely no different with the size of her nips, comparable to a thumb at best of times....

It can be quite a big topic in the BF/cosleeping/GP groups. Lots of breastfeeding mums basically don't care because 'they are milk teeth and fall out anyway.' I got quite a lot of tit one day for saying just because they are milk teeth doesn't mean we should just let them rot, could end up causing so much unnecessary pain for little ones. I was actually super surprised by the groups at how so few of them care about good oral hygiene because their child is breast fed.
