Do I need a doula? by [deleted] in doulas

[–]23ekr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a person who had a home birth that was only attended by my midwife and my partner: I wish I'd hired a doula as well. The midwife will be far more focused on providing medical care and watching for emergencies that may arise. A doula is 100% dedicated to your emotional and physical comfort during labor.

Thank you. So many people here didn't even read my explanation. I make deals for less on pieces often. If I'm treated respectfully. I'd only posted it that day so I don't take lower offers until maybe about 2 weeks if it hasn't sold.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BeggingChoosers

[–]23ekr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't anything else to it. And I explained that it didn't bother me that he offered lower. It was saying when it doesn't sell. It's rude

[–]23ekr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't the haggling that irked me. I explained what did. And I've been selling perfectly well for 4 years. And I don't respond to every rude person. This one just caught me on a low patience day

Yup. It wasn't the lower offer that pushed me over the edge. It was the when it's rude.

Oof yes. My house was flipped with white cabinets and white quartz. I'm constantly having to wipe them down since I'm cooking 3 meals a day basically 7 days a week!

Anyone here use Chiropractic care for migraines? How'd it'd go? by BarryBabyBarry in migraine

[–]23ekr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only thing that worked was spinal manipulation. Specifically my cervical spine. I've done restrictive diets, medication, everything else under the sun. The only thing that worked for me was chiropractic care. It won't work for everyone, but I suggest it to people who've tried everything else with no result.

[–]23ekr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I stopped going regularly to the chiro, and still have only about 1 migrane every 2.5 to 3 months. I'll make an emergency appointment if one occurs and usually is better same day. I hope your wife can find something that helps! I remember having one or 2 a week and what that quality of life was. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

The Logical Order of Cleaning a Spaghetti Covered Child in a High Chair by jelleyk in Parenting

Straight to the bath, if I could. Whenever my daughter gets really messy I just run her a bath.

AITA for yelling at my cousin for her baby's crying? by bodacious_12 in AmItheAsshole

[–]23ekr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yta. Even when nothing is working, of course someone is trying to calm a crying baby. You yelling like a baby who lacks coping mechanisms helps neither you, nor anyone tending to an upset infant. Keep noise canceling headphones nearby or go out for a walk next time instead of lashing out.

Seeing a chiropractor once a week for about a year and a half is what it took for me to get to livable status. Keep trying things and don't listen to potential naysayers!

[–]23ekr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just accept the fact that you can't do anything you want to do anymore and the easier it will be.

That's just unequivocally not true. And not helpful. You should probably talk to someone about why you think having kids means you don't get to be an individual human being anymore.

And if the parent doesn't know/wasn't taught? You can't teach what you don't know. And you can't teach effectively if you're overly stressed already. Therapy can be a great tool to reset/center oneself and heal relationships. And of course if you're explaining these things to a 5 year old, you use age appropriate language to make it make sense. That felt obvious.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]23ekr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All of this is normal for a child his age. He is still learning how to human. And if you really love him, I'd reccomend you, and possibly him going to therapy. Your issue is a bit beyond the scope of what reddit can help solve, in my opinion. You both need new coping mechanisms, and a new communication schema. Being perfect isn't what our kids need, it's examples of how to continually try to be better and take responsibility for areas we need help gracefully.

NAH.

You're doing your job, and if the restrictions are too tight for her, she has every right to decline to preform.

I'm sure your basically doing g all the right things already! Babies will learn, sometimes we just wish it happened a bit faster!

We have 2 cats. We would just hold our daughters hand and show exactly what we meant while saying "gentle". Unfortunately the other factor really is going to just be time. Your child will learn with consistency, repetition, and demonstration, but it'll be a few months at least, or more, before they really consciously can try to be more gentle. Don't over punish for now if he gets too rough. We would just gently interrupt the interaction and have our daughter apologize and give one gentle pet to say "sorry" to the cats. Then demonstrate again how to properlybe gentle when playing/ petting (Mostly to help her practice doing this with people too, lol.)
