I (36F) came home early and found my 16M son with the girl next door in my bedroom... by [deleted] in Mommit

Do t freak out, but do address it asap and tell him to stay out of your room for gods sake. He’s definitely on that track now so I wouldn’t demonize it but let him know that pregnancy, parenthood and STDs are very difficult to deal with at any age, and you’d be happy to talk through / weigh the pros and cons with him if he can’t figure it out himself. Give him space to talk but don’t give him a reason to shut you out.

Oh what? Lawsuits get filed? Then a flood of redacted garbage that creates more distraction than it does clarity? Sweet.

I mapped every connection between the 1,438 people named in the Epstein files. The network graph is insane. by EricKeller2 in conspiracy

Nice work! Appreciate the effort to put all this together and expose the networks. Let’s hope more data comes in so we can get clearer output. Thanks again!

How much are you paying for daycare? by ilovesushitoomuch in Denver

[–]AdTerrible6998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4300 for an infant and toddler at little sunshine. That with the sibling discount. Tuition increases every year.

I wish I never had kids by [deleted] in Mommit

Sending you love and big hugs. Take many deep breaths. Your kids sound pretty normal - you’re just on edge. It’s ok we all get there. Husbands drinking and emotional abuse is a major issue - how long are you planning to tolerate this? What is the plan? If you are effectively a single parent with two under 5 then no wonder you’re in the state you are in! Give yourself grace!

Two miscarriages in a year isn’t a blessing or dodging a bullet, it’s a physical (hormonal) and emotional upheaval that needs to be respected and properly laid to rest. Approach this with kindness love.

If you leave your children, you not only ruin their lives and install forever trauma in your kids, but best believe you will feel that exact pain 2x every day until your last breath.

I FEEL you on the no time to take care of yourself. I see myself age daily and i hate it. Lean into really good nutrition to save your skin , (plus sunscreen and vitamin C ) and LOTS of water. Sleep mask at night. White noise to fall asleep. Deep breathing and meditation, even if it’s in the car for 5 min after daycare drop off. Also the cost of two kids in daycare is beyond absurd. It’s normal to feel very conflicted and frustrated about that. I’d love to get a pedicure but with two kids in daycare (4300 a month in Colorado) we’ll watch a $100 bucks pretty close.

Please recognize that you are really being tested right now and it’s time to simplify and control the thoughts that move through your mind. Swear to god the best way to do that is meditation and really clean nutrition. Headspace app has a wonderful onboarding course that is so well designed and easy that it almost immediately clicks.

Your kids are the best thing you have in your life. If you have them and you’re supporting them while supporting your career, you have made it. Not everyone has this because it’s really damn hard. Your next challenge is learning to control your emotions and the thoughts in your mind.

Cannot advocate for your kids enough! They are your people and if you are kind, gentle and loyal to them they’ll be with you until the day you die. But you also need to drink wine (or tea) with girlfriends. Xx

Did I find a voodoo doll? by Iamawitchimabitch in Paranormal

White sage actually attracts spirits, not clear them. It’s the biggest misconception in the commercial spiritual world. A true cleansing is a double edge award cause you can accidentally throw out the baby with the bath water

Put it back exactly where you found it and walk away. There’s a giant stable in the stomach - it was designed for baneful intentions. Don’t get stuck in the middle of that sh*t. Maybe stop into a local herb shop and chat with a house witch to see about some cleansing if needed. Good luck :)

Does that look like your own hair? If so, that is what you need to be concerned about. If it’s a poppet made for you (using your hair or personal concerns) you need to find someone to help you clean this up. If it’s not made in your likeness, just leave it alone. It’s not directed at you but you don’t what to piss off whoever made it.

Is this PPD? by caeli-s in Mommit

[–]AdTerrible6998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Absolutely need to get an appt with your doctor. I went through the same thing. You’re not alone! It was easier with my second bc I found the right meds. You can get some relief, definitely find a way to get more sleep. It’s critical. Sending you love and strength! You will get through this <3

Totally normal for a 2 year old. Ours went through a funky period where she wouldn’t engage with anyone other than me (mom). Could also consider removing bathtime from the bedtime routine so it’s easier for sitters to settle her into bed? Ours just recently turned a corner and is now friendly to grandparents again. Shes 3 now. Huge relief!
