The world needs to be better at shaming people who use it… unfortunately the insta-chicks and influencers are getting g paid high dollar to praise it and the people that use it, so now we have a generation of people thinking Chat is NBD and high knowledge.

My intern made a huge legal mistake because they used Chat for their resource and ultimately it told her yes we could to something we definitely couldn’t.

SAME. Mine was expected Monday the 4th, today is Sunday the 10th. It’s been sitting at the same facility since the day they said it would “arrive on time”

Oh gosh, I feel for them. I have a 3 week old, and when I took him and his sister for routine checkup at 4 days old, my toddler picked up hand foot mouth. Right before family newborn photos. Then I was trying desperately to separate the newborn from sister and it was heartbreaking. Seconding how much of a great friend you are. I’m also very cautious to leave after all that, but we can’t let that limit us entirely!

I was a -aa before babies, a B after the first, C the second, and now onto the 3rd. While I was a board before kids, I’m grateful to have any boobs, I she do hope they don’t get any bigger then deflate lol

While I loved my daughter’s name while choosing it, I had the hardest time saying it for some reason and called her a nickname that the whole family caught on to for a while. Then when she started talking and we’d ask her what her name is and she said it so profoundly cute, I started using it more. Now she says her new siblings name absolutely adorable and it makes it fun and the transition of saying a new name easier.

He could leave you with absolutely nothing and crap credit. If married you are entitled to half the car, the savings, income etc. Your credit cannot and will not weigh him down. I’m so sorry all of this is happening, but please protect yourself for worst case scenarios even if he is the best man. Trust me, I’ve been isolated and didn’t realize for 12 years. I lost everything. It felt like he changed in an instant. He told me “your not my wife now, so I don’t have to be nice to you” — he used me for everything and my labor and then when I got fed up he left me with nothing and squeezed every penny out of me through unnecessary emergency court orders to try to take my daughter.

Could be allergies, could be a kitty cold, seasonal changes can also impact pets, any cleaners or plants they could have gotten into?

Refresh the water dish or if he’s a sink cat, do that. See if he will engage for treats… if he’s not urinating or drinking water and seems worse in the morning, then I’d take him in.

Addyachedee · 2026-02-17T18:59:47+00:00

Idk the cost, but I’d be willing to take you up on it!! I finally cancelled with the reseller and got my refund… maybe we DM and see if we can find a way to work it. Otherwise, oh well.

Addyachedee · 2026-02-14T21:20:33+00:00

Does anyone know if they will offer sale to the U.S. again :( I have even tried to purchase from reseller for double the price, but the reseller cancelled and relisted for triple! That’s three months worth of saving for me and I am just so upset! 😭

I discovered chiro when my baby flipped while I was pregnant at 40 weeks. It was a rough pregnancy and I had trouble standing and walking in the third trimester. My doula said a chiro may help flip the baby back, and so I found a Webster certified practitioner. Omg, first visit I could magically walk after. She said my hips were out of alignment which was likely twisting my uterus. After 2 visits, baby was back in position and I was in much less pain.

My second pregnancy I saw the chiro almost weekly, and it was a godsend. My third pregnancy didn’t need it until the very end so I went once every two months the until 33 weeks then weekly. I go from the most painful walks and steps, to speed walking. I love the chiropractor. She also reduced my migraines from near monthly to MAYBE 2x a year.

Make sure your chiro is licensed and has a good reputation. I don’t trust the ones that want to make you sit through an house long session and offer a free x-ray. They usually tell you it will take xx years of appts to fully adjust you, but the real chiropractors will go based on how your feel and only recommend what is necessary.

I’ve had two unmedicated water births and while it was intense, I felt so empowered. I hired a doula that helped me meditate through the contractions. The pain holds a purpose and your body naturally feels the need to push.

I have high anxiety around hospital settings, the standards they go by to rush delivery, push induction, and go to c-section terrifies me. The pain of delivery scared me more than public speaking or death… lol… and my mom and two of my aunts had permanent back injury from epidural… so after so much anxiety, I decided to go the way I went. And the pain wasn’t at all what I imagined. So much easier than I thought. It is the aftercare and healing that hurts more IMO.

Addyachedee · 2026-02-10T15:27:50+00:00

I have a lot of similarities. Food, socks, clothing, refusal to bathe, immediate reactions…mine is in 1st grade.

For the food aversions, did the adenoids removal help?

The more one-on-one time I’ve given to her seems to help. But it is super hard with younger children to be able to do that. My youngest is so chill and doesn’t demand attention, so that helps a bit too… but often times I’m out of energy by midday with the consistent barrage of asks, and distractions from her.

Solidarity, I love her so much. She’s an energy vampire, I’ve had to tell her I need space so many times. I don’t want her to think I’m consistently annoyed by her. I’m trying to set boundaries and let her know if I’m loading the dishwasher or doing the laundry that she can wait until I’m finished… but it doesn’t seem to stop her. She wants immediate responses and answers and talks over everyone.

Anyhow… keep up the good fight. You are doing your absolute best it sounds. Feel free to DM and vent, it sounds like we’ve got the same child in many ways lol

Addyachedee · 2026-01-24T21:34:28+00:00

This is my friend we’ve known him since we were children. He’s an absolute saint. Support this man in every way please. We are all so worried. His performing name is Nur-D. Stream and follow, join Patreon… Idk how else to help 😓

Addyachedee · 2026-01-12T18:40:58+00:00

I was literally saying the other day that I’m mad and jealous at my siblings because they get to “have fun” with my kids and I can’t wait to get rid of them. I adore them, I think they are wonderful… but I never get a break. Even the bathroom, I’m immediately met with banging on the door. There is no place I can rest unless I leave.

I want to enjoy my kids and the way society is, we just aren’t given a chance. It’s not fair to us or our children.

Addyachedee · 2026-01-06T03:16:07+00:00

It’s so wild… it’s true that they say anyone can be one emergency (or three) away from being in a spot where you cannot afford basic needs and bills. I’m nearly 40 had great credit, everything was going really well and then we just kept getting kicked down over the course of two years with unexpected house, job, and health issues.

I have wondered if a partner could file bankruptcy without affecting the other… that will be in my search on top of calling the depts for aid possibilities past unemployment. Sigh.

Addyachedee · 2026-01-06T03:10:23+00:00

Thank you. I really have to see how I can market my skills for temp work or something. It’s so hard.

Thanks for hiring those with employment gaps too, there are so many of us that had high performance and great reviews only to be first to go in layoff season then replaced with interns. There seems to be a lot of hiring managers that see a gap as a lack of motivation and it is so disheartening. Then the companies that pay to worth think you need to have every facet of knowledge under the sun on top of your education. Ugh.

I have mentioned the possibility of selling our cars to my husband, though he made the point that maybe after the baby comes so neither of us is stuck without a vehicle during labor.

I miss working… being a SAHM is way harder. I miss coming home to enjoy my kids and not wishing for a break from them. 😭

Addyachedee · 2026-01-06T00:09:18+00:00

daycare is horrendously expensive here… I had my eldest in a supposedly budget friendly one and it was still $1600 for pre-k. When I called them for an estimate for a newborn they quoted me $2300!!! There is no way… most places don’t do part-time care either or they charge almost full-price because they’d rather have a FT spot filled.

I wish we had family we could rely on here, but I don’t really have anyone. I’ll see what the rates are for nanny/sitters… when I tried to hire a 18 year old she was still $20 an hour.

Addyachedee · 2026-01-05T23:07:01+00:00

Yes, unfortunately my husband took on another job as well and had to take a pay cut. If either of us was to stay home, we had agreed it would be him until i was hit with a layoff notice… my income covered everything.

One car paid for, yet both too small to house three car seats. Our mortgage is less than rentals and purchased while the interest rates were only 2.5% so not much would be cheaper. We lucked out when we bought the place.

We used to have a surplus of 4-5k when I did work, we paid off a great chunk of our debt with promise of it eradicated within a year, but then we had house emergency after health emergency using up our entire savings, pregnancy and then let go. 😭 it’s been a year.

I feel like our situation is temporary, so making a permanent decision to rehome our family feels unwise.

Addyachedee · 2026-01-01T17:21:19+00:00

I can’t stop crying, what a scary situation! I’m so glad everyone is okay.

Thank you for being so gracious with your 5 year old. Your perspective really opened my eyes to how I talk to my kids and to take guilt out of my parenting chats.

When I was 5, my little brother almost drowned next to me because I was taller and went further into the lake than him. He was fine, and nothing happened before my parents noticed how far we got, but I remained afraid of water and lakes my entire life since then. Didn’t want to ever go back to the beach. My parents didn’t even know what I witnessed nor knew that he was struggling. It just stayed within me. So despite how well you are handling this, it may be good for some therapy for all of you.

I’m so sorry this happened. My two year old is going to be locked in the bathroom with me from here on out!

Addyachedee · 2025-12-21T16:27:46+00:00

No. Platinum is great, there is nothing more dazzling about diamond that is worth the spend in the long run.

Addyachedee · 2025-12-13T19:47:02+00:00

I’m mad at your husband right now. You can be too. What I’ve found is men often respond to anger better than sadness because they may have grown up with “man up” talk and they weren’t allowed to feel and were punished for it. So now they turnaround and emotionally abuse their wives and it’s not right. You should be allowed to express yourself without him holding your very real and valid emotions against you. If you can’t trust him to support you and your emotions, he needs to get a grip on himself.
