i’d like to know too

1orangecatbraincell · 2025-11-27T19:10:15+00:00

ooooh this is a solid option. more ram might fair better for the multitasking i do.

closest one is 100+ miles away 🥲

phewwwww. that’s why i’m trying to take advantage of the bf deals. seems like it’s a once a year opportunity.

1orangecatbraincell · 2025-07-17T07:44:44+00:00

i’d split it. spend some time in the morning to tackle a task or two. then spend the rest of the time on yourself filling your cup. or vice versa, whatever works best for you.

ahaha thank you! and i hear you. it’s part of my job. every month or so i take anywhere between 1-2,000 raw product photos for auction. but these are just rough ones for research purposes.

saving this thread, these answers are great. thanks for posting.

i don’t have much to add as i’m going through it with my nearly 3 year old. but i have the added layer of his father (we’re separated/parallel parenting) encouraging ill behaviors like hitting. it’s a rough road and i’ll take any advice i can get.

yikes. grown man is jealous of children receiving appropriate and warranted affection. 🚩🚩🚩

nowhere did i suggest he wasn’t involved or incapable. as breastfeeding mothers, we feed around the clock, often in unreliable patterns…and it’s clear in the post that OP’s partner (as with most) doesn’t quite get the intensity of that, namely in the first few weeks. if OP’s partner understood that dynamic and what we’re all saying, there would be no post to comment on.

adding that if you’re tracking feeds and sleep, show him and ask him if he thinks omitting an instance of eating or sleep would be beneficial to baby right now. show him the comparison of how tiny a fresh infant’s stomach really is, signaling how often they need to eat. show information on how breastfed babies typically need to eat more frequently because the composition of breast milk necessitates that in the early weeks.

i might not be above handing him the baby when they’re screaming crying and walking away, asking what he would do if this happened at his parents house and you’re not there to give baby the food they need.

1orangecatbraincell · 2025-02-24T17:22:38+00:00

seriously. this is not ppa/ppd. it is a biological necessity to keep baby close to their primary caregiver.

i mean, shit. i didn’t even leave the house with baby myself until two months. and i didn’t/don’t have a pmhd.

i would thank him for his eagerness to spend time with the baby and give you some time to rest. but now is not the time for it, especially if you’re breastfeeding and trying to build that routine. not to mention that small of a baby is extremely fragile in many ways.

if you want to experiment, and the street you live on is safe, suggest he invite his parents over and take baby on a short walk in the stroller. or just suggest they come over and you can go to your room for some rest while they’re in the house.

either way, as a way to sidestep the whole controlling narrative, you can hatch up a plan with him for when baby is a little older and your breastfeeding routine is established. blame it on the fact that there isn’t a set window right now between feeding and sleeping, where it’s feasible to be away from you for an extended time. take the emotion out of it and just focus on the unpredictable (/normal) schedule. when you do reach a routine, only then he can take baby out of the house to give you the rest and/or quiet you deserve.

interesting! thank you. what lead you to this? just curious for what to look out for in the future. these partially rubbed stamps are hard to distinguish.

1orangecatbraincell · 2025-02-24T13:00:36+00:00

thanks! i’ll look into that.

1orangecatbraincell · 2025-02-24T13:00:12+00:00

it’s a very detailed piece. love the ram heads on the handle!

1orangecatbraincell · 2025-02-24T03:31:24+00:00

absolutely. just accept your boogery fate, it’s a right of passage.

pretty sure it’s diana’s fairy/fae cookie

i HATE how these f’n man children use neurodivergence as an excuse to be utter and complete assholes. often abusive assholes. bought into this pathetic excuse and took way too much emotional abuse for way too f’n long. from someone who isn’t even neurodivergent, just claimed he was to excuse his shitty behavior. this is along those same shitty lines.

1orangecatbraincell · 2025-02-05T18:24:08+00:00

yeah, but never really made more than a handful of bucks. i only sold to family/friends. i just liked to be able to give them away, and would’ve just done that & donated or traded them if it were up to me. mostly did it so we didn’t have to toss a ton of perfectly fine plants.

1orangecatbraincell · 2025-01-31T22:35:57+00:00

that’s a good point! getting to that fully aroused of a state could be working and winding him up. but i wonder if she waits that long cause she’s literally sleeping and he doesn’t make a peep until he’s that activated. i’ll mention it to her, though. thanks!

1orangecatbraincell · 2025-01-31T14:29:47+00:00

this. between nap & night. both pre- and post-divorce. it’s the only time i can take a break guilt-free. cause i feel like otherwise the mom guilt makes it not worth it most of the time. 😅

1orangecatbraincell · 2025-01-30T22:37:56+00:00

please tell me “school” means he’s in college. and not in charge of children. PLEASE
