I hate when it happens, but it's just part of life in our family. There it's only one of me and two of them.

I read the language of flowers for my book club though and now baby crying makes me more emotional.

RPB your baby is adorable!!! He looks like a little doll, so perfect!

Stupid book. I read it when M was a newborn and couldn't handle it. I sat and sobbed. I had a touch of PPD and that book was just too much (It is probably a good book. It just wasn't good for me.)

I just tried to remind myself at that point that audible crying = breathing = the kid is alive.  Sorry you're having a rough go, rbp.

Ds2 is 5 weeks. Sometimes he has to cry cuz I'm doing stuff. He cries in the car sometimes too but there's not much I can do there. I also give him a couple mins in the middle of the night if he's not screaming and sometimes he puts himself back to sleep. But for that I can usually tell if it's gas cuz he's more grunting than crying and it's usually been like an hour since he ate last. If he's crying/screaming he's prob hungry.

Leaving the baby to cry is a necessary evil in my home. I simply can't attend to the needs of 3 young kids at the same time; sometimes one of them needs to wait, even the baby.

There are days where I can tolerate it much better than others. Today has not been one of those days :/
