Please only tell me the good news. I’m not emotionally ready for another “my baby is 3 and still wakes up”story lol.

My little one is 5 months and we’re still dealing with the sleep regression. Some nights she wakes up every couple hours and I honestly don’t remember what sleeping feels like anymore.

I’m not expecting 12 hours or anything crazy. At this point I’d be thrilled with a solid 6 hour stretch.

For parents who have babies sleeping through the night now, when did it finally start happening?

Did it just happen randomly one day?

I (23F) found out my best friend is pregnant with my dad’s baby.I actually never thought I'd write a reddit I'm always reading y'all's stories anyway

I met Sharon (24) at university and we became inseparable. My parents basically treated her like their second daughter. A few months ago, she suddenly started having money—expensive clothes, brunches, VIP nights, Ubers everywhere.I'm not saying ati hakuna anajiweza I used to cover bills za club alafu she covers za Uber. So obviously she had another source of income na hakuna anataka kunishow anytime I asked so,I didn't question it.

Then one morning after a night out in Westie, she got sick sana and I took her to M.P shah because it was the only nearest hospital and she's the one who suggested it na since nimezoea kuenda huko juu ya my dad's insurance I found it as an easier option.

Turns out she was pregnant. I asked who the father was, but she refused to tell me.Mind you she always told me everything. I panicked and started looking up Marie Stopes yenye iko near us because I thought she wasn't ready. She got angry and said, “Wewe unaingilia maisha yangu aje?” Then she cut me off. Like she told the nurses I was disturbing her and she didn't know me, so I was asked to walk out which I did sikua nataka mambo mingi juu ata sikua na amini.

Months later, she wanted to join our Maasai mara trip which she was aware of because we had started planning for it kitambo, so she started talking to me again which I had no problem with because ball ilikua yake na nilikua nishaanza kuipanga, I mean ata Mimi ninge jam.

Tonight Leo tuu a few hours, we were at a house party in Kilimani playing Never Have I Ever. One of my friends randomly said, “Never have I ever slept with my dad’s friend.” Everyone laughed until Sharon drank. Wueh. Sijui what happened and we started guessing the guy’s name she told us it started with J. People started guessing, and as a joke, I said my dad’s name because it does start with a J.

She looked straight at me and said, “Correct.”heeeehh.

Apparently, my dad is the father of her baby and they've been sleeping together for months.On the day she was sick she called him and that's how we ended up in M.P. Shah using his insurance impersonating me. She had already told him she was pregnant, and he told her to go to Marie Stopes, the exact same thing she was furious at me for suggesting. I genuinely don't know what to do. I left the party immediately because I was so angry I was scared things would get physical.

Right now, I'm sitting at a local here in Kahawa Sukari, not far from home, writing this because I genuinely cannot bring myself to walk through that door and look at either of my parents. My mum has no idea. Sharon is already blowing up my phone begging me to forgive her because she “doesn't want to miss Maasai mara” And I can't stop thinking about that Never Have I Ever question. Was it really a coincidence, ama my friend already knew?

UPDATE:

Sharon got rid of the pregnancy. So, since there's no child involved anymore, I don't see the need to tell my mum. My dad already has a track record of cheating, and honestly, I think it's better if she doesn't know about this one. I know some of you will disagree with me, but I'm just trying to deal with everything without destroying my family over something that is already over.

As for Sharon, I'm completely done with her. I don't want anything to do with her anymore. She tried calling me to explain herself, and apparently, when she told my dad that she wanted to keep the baby, he sent her 20k and advised her that it would be better if she didn't keep it. Then he blocked her.And now, apparently, she has a new mbaba who she wants to fund the Maasai Mara trip for her. 😭

The irony is actually insane because the whole reason she started talking to me again was because she wanted to come on that trip. At this point, I'm not even angry about the trip anymore. She can go with whoever she wants. I just don't want her anywhere near me or my family.

I've blocked her and I'm cutting her off completely. No friendship, no explanations, no second chances. Whatever happened between her and my dad is something I'll deal with separately, but as far as Sharon is concerned, I'm done.And before anyone asks, yes, I still haven't told my mum. I don't know if I ever will.
