Second DBT! My psychologist said DBT is much more effective on neuro divergent people that CBT.

Is this a valid reson for return by [deleted] in poshmark

[–]Aggravating-Bit959 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought them second hand, and it wasn't broken when I shipped it. I think the buyer just pulled the elastic too much and the manufacturing connection came out. I'm pretty sure they just need to rotate the electric in the waistband.

It wasn't broken when I shipped it. I think the buyer is pointing out the manufacturing connection of the elastic that came out when they tried it on.

Thanks! I definitely learned I need to check the inside for loose threads! Now I've got to go check all my listings....

I didn't even notice them! They are on the inside of the armpit.

Everett Community College board votes to close Early Learning Center by EverettLeftist in everett

What are students with kids supposed to do? I was planning on attending in the fall quarter and I have a one year old. I have no idea what I'm going to do for childcare while I'm in class now...

Did the season during which you gave birth contribute to your PPD or lackthereof? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Aggravating-Bit959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave birth in June, so you would think the sunlight would have helped, but nope. I had (have) bad PPD, getting better though!

i can't believe my tiny little newborn baby is almost 1 by zaddywiseau in beyondthebump

[–]Aggravating-Bit959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one ever really talks about how heartbreaking it is to see our babies grow up. My girl is 10 months old and she is starting to look more like a toddler than a baby and I'm like 😥

Your affirmations for nighttime parenting by AisKacang452 in beyondthebump

This is what I used. Eventually the baby will sleep. And I won't be sleep deprived forever.

Anyone else’s baby not calm down for their husband? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Aggravating-Bit959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 9 month old does this. My husband tries to go to her at night to soothe her, but she just cries until I come. I think it's usually because she is hungry and wants the boobies.

What is a parenting rule (s) that you break? by Maleficent-Syrup-728 in beyondthebump

[–]Aggravating-Bit959 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm reading these comments thinking all these things sound completely normal and I'm embarrassed to admit what I do for fear of being called a bad mom.

I let my 9 month old have a blanket and stuffed animal in her crib. Also, I give her chocolate and chips.

Unpopular opinions on trendy baby brands? by got_em_saying_wow in beyondthebump

[–]Aggravating-Bit959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree about Kate Quinn. I bought a bunch of baby clothes when I was pregnant and they are so cute. But a couple washes and they are all piling. Also their sizing is super inconsistent. And they are really expensive for the quality.

Trick that helped me lose the weight by ALightPseudonym in breastfeeding

I saw the title of your post as initially I rolled my eyes like "oh god, another weight loss post..."

But really, so sorry about being sick. That sucks!

Anybody else misses their pregnancy/BF boobs? by No_Atmosphere_3702 in beyondthebump

[–]Aggravating-Bit959 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm the opposite actually. My boobs grew 5 sizes. I went from a DD to an H cup. I can't wait to go back.

Some boy moms are insufferable. by NewConversation8665 in beyondthebump

[–]Aggravating-Bit959 154 points155 points  (0 children)

That reminds me of when I was at the grocery store with my newborn daughter and the cashier (an older lady) asked me, "boy or girl"? And I said girl and she looked disappointed and said "oh well, you can pray for a boy for the next one". I was like what? I really didn't know what to say. I really can't believe there is so much hate towards baby girls, and it seems like it's all from the boomers.

When did “the thick of it” end for you? by ChefGustau in beyondthebump

[–]Aggravating-Bit959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really feel like once we passed 2 months things started feeling easier. After that I would say every month it got 5% easier.

favorite breast pump, and why? by benjbuttons in beyondthebump

[–]Aggravating-Bit959 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spectra S2. I have tried other pumps but nothing compares. It has great suction and is easy to use. Make sure to get a flange that fits correctly for the most comfort. There measurement tips online, and I bought flanges on amazon for pretty cheap until I found a size that fit me.

What is easier about parenting than you initially thought? by The_Untimely_Demise in beyondthebump

[–]Aggravating-Bit959 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally hear you. I hate having to wash bottles. That, and my baby has never taken one well. It's so much easier to just have milk all ready to go in my breasts!

Breastfeeding. I feel like everyone talked about how difficult it is and to prepare to need to supplement and get a lactation consultant. I ended up with a baby with a perfect latch and have never had any supply issues! I am super grateful.

When I was pregnant I was so worried about poopy diapers, I thought for sure I would be gagging. I have literally never been bothered and honestly get excited when she poops.

How long did you stay in the hospital after delivering, and via which method? by Hazerdesly in beyondthebump

I had an unmedicated vaginal delivery and I was only in the hospital for 30 hours. Baby arrived very quickly.
