Parenting advice on baby name trickery, book recommendations, and favorite parents.
My husband and I recently had our second child, and already have a toddler. We struggled with thinking of a name for our second child and went to the hospital each with a first-choice name and no agreement between us. He very much wanted to name our child after a family member, but it was a name I strongly dislike, so I said no repeatedly through the pregnancy. He asked me again shortly after the baby was born, and in a haze of hormones and drugs, I agreed.
It’s been six weeks now, and I still hate the name. I try my hardest to never say it. I don’t see any way to really change the name now, and there’s nothing objectively wrong with the name itself. I don’t know if this is some weird postpartum hormones, a pandemic, parenting two little kids … but I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m resentful and angry at my otherwise great spouse. Would love your thoughts on how to move past this.
Is it cruel or unsafe to be locking him in? He doesn’t even notice at night, and it keeps the cat from going in to wake him. But at nap he cries to not lock him in, and I feel terrible. We have tried to skip nap but he ends up falling asleep on the couch a few hours later so it seems he still needs a nap.Go ahead and lock the door for naps! You’re not leaving the house, you have working smoke detectors and a baby monitor, and if it’s working, it’s working.
