Recently had someone who, with their partner, earns almost quadruple our combined salary asking for donations for £1,000+ rocking chairs and other items. Perhaps I'm just bitter. We didn't have one for our first kid. Some of my baby mama's friends tried to plan a surprise baby shower and she found out and shut that **** down. lol It's not like we needed it. We're both fairly well off monetarily and reasonably responsible. If we need something, we just buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend not getting a diaper genie if you don't want to keep up on it. It's significantly cheaper just to throw out the diapers in a plastic grocery bag every day. Even toys aren't really a necessity in some respects imo. My kids were more interested in stupid stuff like paper and cups and stuff than $30 paw patrol toys. Jumper and bouncer is a good idea. Excess of pacifiers if you go that route. And if you get pacifiers, get a pacifier clip so the kid doesn't rip it out of their mouth and throw it or lose it. And maybe a keurig cause you not gonna get much sleep for a while. Get a mamaroo or electric swing toy, those are great. Get a pack and play, that's a must have. The best thing about a pack and play is you can use it like a bassinet and baby changer station when they're little. Don't waste time getting an actual baby changing station, I ended up doing it on my bed or couch 99% of the time. Why are you guys so down on diaper genies? Those things rock! The refills aren't that bad either. Target has an off brand that you get 3 diaper genies for like 10 or 15 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you won't ever use a diaper changing station. The couch will be where you change diapers. 10/10. Would recommend this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a changing table attached to a crib for my first kid and used it every morning and night. But if it wasn't attached? Probably wouldn't have used it. Usually I just get on the floor and change my daughter there cause it's not like cramped or anything. But yeah pack n plays are blessed little prisons for children that let you sleep and stuff while they do their thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I think suicide is inherently selfish and gross, too. There may be extenuating mental circumstances that change selfishness and grotesqueness into something else, but at face value, suicide is selfish and gross. Mental health is used as an excuse far too often for things like that without it really applying in most cases. Especially when you get into depression. Depression can be self-induced depression through drugs and alcohol and generally not taking steps to avoid depression (toxic relationships, pattern of poor decisions, etc). I find that most people who defend suicide are still alive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I've learned the only people that can really feel sympathetic/empathetic towards mental illness are those that have been impacted by it through having it or being around it. When you get feeling low enough, depression calls the shots. Doesn't matter what you've got going for you when that happens. Sure, they should've been seeing psychiatrists and been on meds for it (if they weren't already) but to **** on them after they got so low they felt they needed to do this is just really crappy in my eyes. Chester Bennington, Robin Williams, these two celebrities all had fame and money and family and everything you could really need, but the darkness took over their lives. There needs to be more of an understanding about it all. It's terrible the kids are left to this, I understand. They should've tried harder to get help. But all in all, depression called the shots in the end. (Ftr I didn't mention Chris Cornell because his was from taking the wrong dose of his meds and it caused him to do something he might not have otherwise wanted to do. Who knows tho) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It f**ks that kid up something serious in most cases. can you really understand anything "perfectly well" unless you actually get on the brink of doing it? why would you be confident that you can understand or relate to it? it is selfish from the sense you're hurting others 100%. but to say you understand the delirium/delusion and all of the involuntary bodily responses that are occurring when those feelings hit their peak to me is wild. assuming they're in a clear head space where they're considering all of the implications of their actions? just crazy to me when people speak finitely about things when they're mentally healthy. which i may be unfairly assuming that of you. and nah man i dont care about your opinion on the matter. dont care about mine either. think whatever you want to about annnnything i dont give af. i dont know why i responded in a snobby way. i've had a lot of experience with it too and just emphasize with it personally. just always hear people say it's selfish and i dunno why that irks me even though it's true. it's like... yeah that's true... but it's ignoring how wild **** can be mentally when you're at that point and obviously not thinking like a rational person would. i know that's not the case in ALL suicide, but... i dunno, i actually gotta stop typing and pick my roommate up so imma stop typing and yeah putting your kid in that situation is ridiculous man, i agree. that dude sucked. my bad if i was being snobby i feel like i was but cant remember, im hungover 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
