First birthday with kids! #letschat!

Today is my 31st birthday and this year looked a little different than the previous 30!

This year:

🩷 I have a daughter now

I am someone who LOVES their birthday.. growing up I used to talk about my birthday for months and months!

Now that I’m in my 30’s, married and have a daughter.. I don’t care much about my birthday.. I still love it, but it’s not the most important day to me.. now I’m looking forward to my daughters and for my daughter’s milestones!

I also wouldn’t have it ANY other way! I love my little life!

How was your birthday after having kids different than now that you have kids?

... Read moreHaving a child transforms the way we celebrate milestones like birthdays. For many parents, their special day evolves from a personal celebration to a focus on their children's joy. In fact, the first birthday after becoming a parent can be particularly poignant as it marks the start of a new life phase. The excitement often shifts from personal desires to creating treasured memories with your child. Parents often draw inspiration from their childhood celebrations, wishing to instill similar happiness in their kids. The simple joys of birthday parties, cake, and games become family traditions. Parents might find themselves planning events that their children will cherish for years to come, ensuring that these moments foster connection and joy among family and friends. It's also common to feel a mix of sentimentality and joy on birthdays after kids arrive. Balancing self-celebration with the joy of watching a child experience their first birthday or key milestones can be incredibly rewarding. Sharing traditions, making new ones, and witnessing a child’s delight can make every moment special. As we celebrate our birthdays, it's a reminder of the legacy we’re creating through our children, emphasizing the importance of family dynamics during celebratory occasions.

My husband spent his all day in the NICU with our daughter who was born the day before. Mine wasn’t any different as neither of us celebrate really. Just dinner with our families. We did have a little part with grand parents and great grandparents for our daughters 6month that week though, so I was brought a cake.

it was honestly way better! i love that i was able to celebrate with a sober mind, versus going out and getting absolutely wasted. (not saying anything bad against other people, it’s just what i personally grew out of!)

Intimacy in Front of Kids? Absolutely Not🙄🙄
I don’t care if they “don’t understand yet,” energy is energy, and kids feel everything. Babies might not have words, but they have awareness. As parents, we’re shaping their sense of safety and boundaries from day one, and intimacy is something that should stay private. There’s a line between

I was spanked way too much as a child. Bare bottom with a leather belt. I’d get whipped multiple times over tiny stuff like refusing to eat my broccoli or forgetting to hang up my coat. It never felt right and I’m curious if others went through similar. Personally, I think spanking kids is wrong
