Re: Kim K. Needs Her Sleep

Pretty sure nobody here used the word "superior" until just now. Just because I would choose to NOT use a nurse doesn't mean I feel superior to anyone.
Our kids will be just fine, even if we're a little sleep deprived 
Oh, make no mistake. I was being KIND when I paraphrased and said that people were condemning those with nurses to feel "superior." If you must know. they are also being sanctimonious, holier than thou, and presumptuous.
Some of them are saying that those with nurses are being derelict in their mothering duties (and no; if you're being literal, I don't recall the word "derelict," but intelligent people (like you) know what it means to tell someone that they think they're "above" taking care of their child for some or all of the time.)
That's a lot worse than using the word "superior." But it's all true. NO ONE condemned the choice not to hire a nurse. But many condemned the choice TO have a nurse. And, yes. they did it in the course of making themselves out to be superior.

Listen, I totally understand the sentiment of this is what you signed up for when you decided to have children. Hell, I thought that too before I was pregnant. Then I went through it.
Just like so many other instances with motherhood, you can say these things pre-baby, but you just don't know what's going to happen until that baby is born.
But then again, before my DS I never had a reason to get woken up multiple times in the middle of the night, or rely on (2) 90 minute naps during the day. So I was blissfully unaware just how important sleep is to a human being.
I learned with very little sleep I have little to no patience, make foggy decisions, gained a lot of weight from my metabolism being all wonky, and was just a nasty, nasty bitchface to everyone. So yeah, if I had the money I would. And I can guarandamntee you I would have bonded quite nicely even if I had had help at night.
Everyone parents differently, everyone has different feelings on this situation. You can never argue another's feelings. With that said, can we please stop condemning one another for having different views on parenting?!?

Post inmy opinion once you decide to have a baby...it's no longer about you!! To say that you are too tired at night to take care of YOUR baby is ridiculous. I haven't slept 8 hours in 16 years(since DD#1), but that's the path I chose. Those late night feedings are the best and I can't wait to experience them again in 2 months.
Im sorry because you have a child it means you signed up to not sleep. I couldnt disagree with you more. I love my dd more than life itself but i love my sleep and i deserve to sleep and be well rested so i can be the best mommy possible. You cant be at your best without consistent sleep.
Waking up every 2 hours for 2 months straight destroyed me. I had post partum so bad i coukd barely function. You think that made me a great mom? Being a great mom does not mean you have to never sleep, never take time for yourself or allowed to make it about you sometimes.
Just because your a mom doesnt mean you stop being a wife a daughter a friend...
Amd im sad for you if you truly havent slept 8 hours in 16 years.
Yes about the 8 hours!!! My first was not a good sleeper at night so we (her and I were up). DH is an executive chef at a restaurant so in that line of work you work a lot of nights which he did then and still does to this day. I think I'm just so use to being up. I may fall asleep around 10pm wake up at midnight when he usually gets in and then I'm up until 3am, then up at 5:30am . 16 years of this routine!!!

This makes me sad. I hope her supply tanks for not pumping/nursing for 8 hours a newborn.
This anger me bc not every mom can BF!!
This is a horrible thing to say. I wouldn't wish that on anyone 
I haven't had 8-10 hours of sleep since my DS was born. He's 5 and I don't see me getting a solid 8 every night for a very long time. If she can afford it, why not? I was home with my DS for a year and loved doing it, but those first few weeks are HARD. I wouldn't judge anyone for hiring help, night nurse, cleaning lady, food preparation. I got up every night with him and would do it again, because it was such a special time with him, but there definitely times where I was up at 3 am wishing I had someone who knew what they were doing to help me.
This is what she has created, though. Her desire to constantly be in the limelight created this scrutiny. Every move she makes as a mom will be examined, judged, and talked about repeatedly. Good luck with that, because we all have our moments as parents and the fact that the world is watching and dissecting your every move would be awful.

I know a lot of non-celeb moms who hire night nurses. I don't see anything wrong with it. If you can afford to get a good amount of sleep, why wouldn't you?
this.
