Sleepless Mom

A blog for moms

April 16, 2018

Just Call Me Cashew

Some would describe my husband and I as the perfect example of the opposites attract. He is very athletic and pretty serious. I, on the other hand, don’t take anything too seriously and love one glass too many.

Our personalities have really come out now that we’re parents.

When my husband suggests something, I usually shut down his opinions and do things my way.

I only realized this after I brushed off my husband’s concern of a nut allergy, and I let my daughter have cashews.

Just Call Me Cashew

Knowing my husband is allergic to nuts should have been a HUGE RED FLAG, but I just went ahead and let her have them.

Audrey’s entire body was immediately covered in a huge rash with welts the size of golf balls.

I have never felt so terrible in my whole life. I put our daughter’s life at risk and also realized that I haven’t respected my husband as a father.

Different as we may be, when it comes to parenting, you have to be on the same page. Listening to your spouse and taking their advice into consideration shows you respect them.

Parenting is a partnership and the biggest role of your life. Appreciate your partner and enjoy parenthood. It takes two people to make a baby after all. 🙂

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
