I love nightgowns as well! They have to be on the shorter side though, because I hate turning over in bed and having the gown tighten and restrict my leg movement.

Sleeping in a bra only should be a crime 😭

Since it’s the summer and temperatures are hot in the south, I’ll sleep in either 19 or 20. During the winter, I’ll wear 3 or 4 (Boys boxers are comfy to me lol). As a mom, If I’m wearing 19 or 20 I’ll usually keep a cotton tee on standby in case my preteen son knocks on my door in the middle of the night. I also love wearing silk nightgowns in the winter, but obviously it’s not listed.

My abusive ex used to yell at the tv when his team would lose or do something stupid. His alcoholism only made it worse and he would often take his anger out on me.

The packs come in different colors so I use the white ones and he uses the grey ones.

Broke single mom here. My H&M usually offers a buy one get one discount on boys’ cotton boxers, so whenever I buy a pack for my 12 year old son, I grab myself one as well and they serve pretty well as pajama shorts which I pair with a cheap oversized cotton tee.

Now that you say this, I had a talk recently with him about me wanting to date again and the possibility of a stepdad

 

I’m a young mom with a pre-teen son and he’s called me “mommy” up until he was about 10 and a half. Since then he’s been calling me “Ma” which I find pretty cute. Especially when he extends it to “Maaa” when yelling from another room. Maybe it’s a southern thing lol. Just curious about what y’all call your moms?

He tells me he gets scared at night as well. He also has diagnosed hyperactive ADHD which might make him restless at night.

He does have diagnosed ADHD, but thanks for the advice, will definitely try this.

I had him when I was 15!

Edit: No worries, most people are usually surprised when they find out I’m a 27 year old mother with a 12 year old child.

 

I’m a 27 year old single mother and I have a 12 year old son. Recently he’s been knocking on my door in the middle of the night because he can’t sleep and he asks to sleep with me. I’ve been letting him since neither of us really have a problem with it and it’s kind of nice not having to sleep alone every night. However, I’ve heard and seen some things online that seem controversial about co-sleeping with a child past a certain age. I definitely don’t want to negatively affect his development, so I guess what are your thoughts?
