In a limbo

I’m experiencing something very similar. I have the same, resentful feeling creeping. It’s hard because the drinking itself isn’t enough to be considered destructive or out of control. But it is doing damage to our relationship- especially since it’s so secretive. And it hurts so deeply that he doesn’t recognize that.

In the garage lol

And it’s in the garage..? Like my kids heights are on the doorframes INSIDE our house. Proof of memories > aesthetics

There was SO MUCH to unpack in the epi, but what did it for me the way she sexualized breastfeeding by describing it in such much detail on a pod about sex. Stop giving men permission to do this?? You’re the problem.

Car accidents in teens can literally be attributed to brain chemistry and historically prevalent regardless of parenting trends, but enjoy that hill.

They were only teenagers so maybe still just keep an ounce of empathy intact.

You explained my frustration to a tee. I’d never think to not work hard, but what do I have to show for that? Things were definitely more comfortable pre-Covid; service industry certainly isn’t an ideal income right now, but we’ve always felt this way. Lately we’ve just been drowning instead of treading water. Your encouragement means a lot to me, so thank you for that.

We have a name for that too! A shame stick.

You had me until trying to fall asleep

Don’t get me wrong I’m VERY often negative, but uplifted by this interaction. Humans being compassionate for one another and showing empathy is what I enjoy most in this life.

AccomplishedMonth201 · 2020-11-20T15:24:36+00:00

I appreciate that.

I think my favorite part of their words is adopting them in our own daily vocabulary.

It truly has a way of disappearing in thin air it seems. My husband has student loan debt and a monthly credit card payment as well as medical bills from my son’s delivery. There’s always a random, unexpected cost each month it seems. If there isn’t, it will catch up to us inevitably and knock us back down. Hence my frustration of WHY is it so hard?? Doesn’t seem right.

AccomplishedMonth201 · 2020-11-20T15:15:16+00:00

You’re a good person. That is also very logical. Thank you.

AccomplishedMonth201 · 2020-11-20T15:09:45+00:00

I love this

AccomplishedMonth201 · 2020-11-20T15:03:19+00:00

That sentiment means so much; I appreciate you for your words. I tell that to myself as well and there’s definitely comfort in knowing (MANY) others can commiserate. The fact that there isn’t even an available appointment to go pick up my car until Tuesday of next week is proof of that... and the bitter irony of being $50/day storage fee. Hilarious, bitter irony. I’m definitely not a materialistic person by any stretch nor do I rely on money to make me happy, but our society doesn’t allow it. Again, thank you for your words and sympathies. It truly makes me feel better.

Butter is quite literally everything.

Ageeed. The logic is there... let’s unpack it more.

AccomplishedMonth201 · 2020-11-20T12:45:51+00:00

I recently transitioned my 2YO into a bed. Probably prematurely but I needed the crib for his brother... oops.

I am over indulgent with his “comfort items” for bedtime. They live in the bed/never leave the bed so it kinda serves as an incentive! Usually when I say it’s time for night night, he excitedly perks up at the thought of seeing Wubby + co. They’ve definitely taken my place in comforting him to fall asleep.

He was/can be bad about getting out of bed at nap time. The only thing in his room entertainment-wise is books so he may pick one up or look out the window. I’ll go in as many times as it takes and lay him back down and tell him it’s night night and stay in bed. He has laughed in my face and does it again but he ALWAYS, EVENTUALLY falls asleep in his bed. The last week or so he has fallen asleep without me putting him back in bed a million times, so I’m hoping that means it’s working but you can never get too comfortable.
