Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

My friend in Seattle has a new baby with colic/lots of digestion issues/allergies. She is thinking of hiring help, ideally a retired nurse, so she can pump and get sleep and just deal with a demanding baby. Any suggestions of people who do this?

[ Reply | More ]np: that's awesome advice. And when this new mom completely loses her shit and the baby, mom, and dad all suffer, I'm sure they'll be so happy they took the "suck it up" route. Loser. The mom should hire a baby nurse if they could afford it. A coliky baby is a challenge for even the best of mothers.
[ Reply | More ]Hey, 1-800 Troll, you are a turd. I've dealt with colic and it was crazy-making. Many studies link shaken baby syndrome to the same timeframe that infants experience colic. If someone is starting to lose it from lack of sleep, then by all means she should get assistance if she can. I doubt she'd be asking for help if she didn't need it. Even you, Troll, deserved some kindness while you were going through it, I hope you had some relief from friends or family. Judging by the tone of your reply, you didn't and that's a shame.
