10 Ways to REALLY Help Someone Who Has a New Baby

Being a parent is a challenging job. From start to finish, birth to college sendoff, a parent's duties never end. As kids get older it becomes a bit easier. Children are capable of being more independent, don't require as much attention or hands on care, etc. Newborns however, have no such independence. They need attention 24 hours a day, and this can be quite taxing. There are certain things only a mother can physically do for her child. For some of the other things, well, that's where friends can step in. 

When you ask a new mom, "Is there anything I can do to help?" she may not want to burden you with tasks. Listed below are some things you can do without her having to ask. These tasks also help the father. Both parents will be getting little to no sleep. They could both use a helping hand.

It takes a village to raise a child. Be part of the village. - WTS.

10 Ways to REALLY Help Someone Who Has a New Baby

1. Take their other kids somewhere.

Anywhere — just get them out of their house. It’s so much harder when you have to tend to a new baby and to your other kids. So take out her other children as often as you can!

2. Bring food.
And I mean food that comes in a disposable pan or food that you can dump in a crock pot. Do not bring anything that she’ll have to wash and worry about getting back to you. If you just don’t cook, bring paper plates and silverware… so if she’s forced to cook for herself, at least you’ll help her minimize how many dishes she has to clean up.

3. Fork over the money for a stranger to clean the house.

Best. Gift. Ever. But you have to pay for someone else to come clean their house, you can’t be the one to do it. There is no way in hell I’d feel comfortable watching a friend clean my house and sort my dirty laundry. Or put things away in my drawers. Who knows what they’d find! But I wouldn’t feel guilty lying around in my pajamas, nursing a new baby, while watching a stranger clean up my hot mess.

4. Watch their baby while they take a nap.

Before coming over, you have to say… I’m going to come over to watch your baby while you sleep. It doesn’t work if you just show up and say you’re going to do it, because then she’ll play the “oh-no-I’m-fine” game.

5. Recognize signs of postpartum depression.

Although it’s common for women to have “Baby Blues,” it can quickly turn into postpartum depression. If you begin to notice that a new mom does not really want to take care of herself or her baby, encourage her or her family to seek additional help. Be on the lookout for telltale signs that moms might need a little extra help.

6. Get them out of the house.

Sometimes both mom and baby just need to get out of the house. Find a way to encourage everyone to get some fresh air, even if it’s just to take a walk around the neighborhood.

7. Be extra attentive if their baby has any sort of issue.

I once watched a friend’s baby who had really bad reflux. After watching her all day, I thought, “There is no way her mom doesn’t need more help than she’s letting on.” Her baby was so much work! So if a baby has any other issue that makes him or her a little harder to handle, try to go out of your way to help — mom and dad may really need it!

8. Go to the grocery store for her.

Or watch her baby while she goes to the grocery store. I really enjoyed this after I had my baby. I spent two hours at the store once, and when I came home, my friend was like, “and you only came back with two things?!?” But it was so nice just walking around a familiar place with no one to feed or hold.

9. Make a sign for their door that says “Baby Sleeping.”

It never fails… you just put the baby to bed and FedEx or UPS or your neighbor comes over and rings your doorbell, waking up the baby. I always wanted to make a sign, but somehow, I never got around to it. I can’t count how many times I’ve given someone the evil eyeball for just ringing the doorbell. Somewhere out there, there’s a group of Girl Scouts that will never knock on my door again.

10. Always come with a package of diapers or wipes.

Let’s be honest — our kids don’t need more cute clothes! But you know they’re going to go through those diapers like they’re not $23 a box. A less expensive alternative? Bring wipes! You end up using them for everything from wiping a baby’s bottom to wiping up a spill in your car to wiping the makeup off your own hand when you’re in a hurry and can’t find your foundation brush. Always a useful gift!

Bye Dave. 

New Trend Alert: FREE BLEEDING

Let me just start this by saying NO fucking way. I'm all for the complete freedom of women, but this is messy, unsanitary, unhealthy, and disturbing. Not to mention this could become quite an expensive choice as clothes, furniture, underwear, beds, etc., become ruined. Blood may flow easily out of bodies, but it's hell to get out of fabrics. And suppose you have a disease? Your putting people in harms way could cause you to not only to infect others, but um..

Get sued by them. This is such a bad idea all round.

Who thought up this madness?

Some bored, over zealous college student probably.

Just No Ladies, NO.

Now for the story.

MODERN WOMAN DIGEST – A disturbing new trend is on the rise, thanks to extreme feminist bloggers and activists everywhere. The trend is something called “Free Bleeding,” in which a woman who is menstruating chooses to not use feminine products, in exchange for allowing her blood to flow “freely” out of her body, staining her clothing and running down her thighs to wherever it may end up.

The idea behind this movement is two different ideas. One, is that a woman’s time of the month should not be considered something unclean and unnatural, something to be hidden and cleaned up hastily before it has the chance to offend anyone who may become privy to the fact that said woman’s body is evacuating her loins of unused baby blood. The second, being that tampons, pads, and other feminine hygiene products are “man” made inventions, intended to inadvertently rape a woman during her period, thus furthering her victim status as a woman living in a world run by men. These two reasons combined, have produced the idea that women need to make a stand against the practice of wearing products which collect, absorb, and discard the menstrual flow. That by letting it run freely, is the way nature intended us to deal with our monthly.

For any normal woman, however, this idea is horrifying, and for equally as many reasons as the idea is spoken in favor of. If you’re like myself, a proud, intelligent, educated, and body-conscious woman of modern times, the reasons why this is a bad and ugly practice are quite apparent to you. But for those of you who are not blessed with the acute observational skills such as myself, I will gladly share my wisdom with you.

Firstly, this is not “how nature intended” us to deal with our menstrual discharge. If this was the case, nature would never have given us the enlightenment that we were to cover our bodies to begin with. Animals of lesser intelligence run around naked and without the use of proper tools to make their lives easier because they are just that, of lesser intelligence. Nature intended us to be vastly intelligent, and to use our intelligence to overcome our flaws. In our case, it has given us humans the advanced technological know-how to invent specific products to make our monthly easier to manage. Animals urinate, defecate, and bleed all over themselves and each other. We generally would like to think we’re above that kind of behavior. But not in the case of these Feminists, it would seem. 

Second, the female reproductive system is host to over 7000 types of bacteria, some of which are helpful to the system, but many of which are not. These bacteria work together to create the odor and excretions that the female genitalia has been notoriously known for. As women, we need all the extra help we can get to remain clean “down there." Without the help of the many feminine hygiene products that are now available to us, our special place could be an intolerable wasteland of unbearable odors, discharge, and build up. The fact that Feminists see no problem with adding blood and other types of monthly discharge to the mix is not only disgusting, but alarming and unhealthy.

You're urged to disregard and reject this new hardcore feminist trend, both for your own health and the health of those around you. If you happen to come in contact with a Feminist who tries to push this disgusting idea on you, throw a tampon at them and run away as fast as you can.

Women Take Drinks

How was my weekend? Well let's see. You want the full version or the parts I remember? With that being said, I'd say the weekend was a little too good. Went to an amazing party with some girlfriends. The bad news is how good the party was. Great music, attractive crowd, wonderful vibe. It was one of those nights. 

My girls and I were like..

There was a somewhat attractive guy who asked me if he could "take care of me for the night." 

What exactly does that entail?

We nicknamed him "Mr. Drinks" because that's what it entailed. It was as if he needed to get rid of money, because he bought countless women drinks at this soiree. Not only A DRINK, but for those who were still parched, he replenished their supplies unflinchingly. He was super-friendly. He smiled all night and never tried to get in my pants. No seriously. 

All that was missing was a top hat. He was a true gentleman. 

I danced, I laughed, I swayed and most important, I SLAYED. My new hot pink lipstick was a hit.

Mr. Drinks made mention all night of how much of a lady I was. "Elegant" he called me.

I wonder if he would still think so after reading a few entries of this blog..

After the whirlwind of fun, a friend Ubered us a cab that took us home. Once I got there I don't think I fell asleep. It felt more like sleep fell into me. I woke up to find a container of half-eaten mashed potatoes on the stove. How the hell did that get there? I felt like I must've slept-walk or something. My friend informed me that I'd bought them before going into my house, and from the greasy, ghetto chicken spot no less :/. It was news to me because I remembered none of it. Also in my kitchen was the bright green, fake-grass welcome mat that belongs to my new neighbor. That I remembered. In my highly drunken state, apparently I um.. 

Stole it. 

I was completely on auto-pilot, almost as if I was a different person.

A zombie.

I don't like being that intoxicated. I mean, what's the nutritional value of a drink anyway? My memory has always been impeccable. The fact that I can't remember things because of my drunkeness.. we're talking about my cerebellum here! Furthermore, the recovery period necessary the morning after is so unpleasant. It's all fun and games until someone steals a rug.

When I looked in the mirror after waking up, I think I understood the term "shit-faced" better than I ever had. I looked tired. Groggy. Haggard. And that hot pink lipstick was still very much hot pink. All other make-up had been washed off but not that pink. It was determined to stay. It took most of the day to fully get it off my lips. 

That's not hot.

One night.

Five drinks.

One very generous alcoholic beverage benefactor.

And an extremely tired, lethargic, hungover ME.  

I would much rather vodka became more of a memory, than a hobby.

Though my drink of choice is honey whiskey..

But still. 

The moral of the story is,

Sobriety awaits! 

Alcohol and the Brain
