Common newborn moms war stories include the struggle with diaper changes. Babies can be very squirmy and it's not always easy to get a clean diaper on. There are also stories about the first bath. Newborns are so tiny and fragile that it can be nerve - wracking for moms. And let's not forget about the hormonal changes that can make new moms feel like they're on an emotional rollercoaster.
Sure. One common 'war story' is about the sleep deprivation. Newborns often wake up every few hours to feed. A mom I know was so exhausted that she once dozed off while breastfeeding. Another story is dealing with diaper rashes. One mom had to constantly change diapers and try different creams to get rid of the rash. And then there's the struggle of getting the baby to latch properly during breastfeeding, which can be a very frustrating and sometimes painful experience for new moms.
The most common might be issues with breastfeeding. For example, the mother may have difficulty producing enough milk, and the newborn is constantly hungry and fussy. Another common one is diaper rash that gets really bad and painful for the baby.
A common drunk mom story is when they start reminiscing about their youth and tell long - winded tales of their teenage adventures. For example, one drunk mom started talking about how she used to sneak out to go to parties when she was 16 and all the wild things she did there.
The most common entitled moms stories often involve moms who think they can override common courtesy. For example, in a public place like a library, an entitled mom might let her child be noisy even though it's a quiet zone. This is because she feels that her child's needs are more important than the rules or the comfort of others. Also, at a community event, an entitled mom may demand extra perks or attention for her family, ignoring the fact that resources are meant to be shared equally among everyone present.
There was a baby who, when being bathed for the first time, peed right into the warm water. The parents were a bit shocked at first but then they just laughed. And from that day on, they were always extra careful during bath time. The baby's innocent little accident became a funny family story that they still talk about years later. Well, the baby is now a toddler and they love to tease him about his first bath 'flood'.
One common cause is immature liver function. Newborns' livers are still developing and may not be able to process bilirubin efficiently. Another cause can be blood type incompatibility between the mother and the baby, which can lead to increased breakdown of red blood cells and more bilirubin production. Also, some genetic factors might play a role in certain cases.
One really funny story was about a newborn who, during his first bath, was so startled by the water that he let out a high - pitched squeal. But then, as soon as his mother started singing softly, he calmed down and seemed to enjoy it. It was a mix of funny and heartwarming. There was also a baby who would make a really loud snorting sound when he was sleeping, as if he was imitating a little pig. His parents found it so endearing and it always made them chuckle.
It depends on the environment. In some competitive communities, like those centered around sports for kids or exclusive social groups, moms might be more likely to get into catfights. For instance, if there are limited spots on a sports team and moms feel their child is being treated unfairly in the selection process, tensions can rise. However, in more laid - back communities, such events are less common.
No, they are not very common as the swinging lifestyle is still a niche and not something that the majority of moms are involved in.
One inspiring story is of a mom who had leukemia. Despite being so ill, she volunteered at her kids' school. She read stories to the younger kids and helped with art projects. Another is a mom with stomach cancer who started a charity to raise funds for cancer research in her town. And a mom with thyroid cancer who ran a marathon during her treatment to show her kids that you can achieve anything if you set your mind to it.
