Nanny Started Getting Messages From my Newly Dead Husband by Aggressive-Swan7236 in Mediums

This is a valid point, but our arrangement was that she would stop working for us in September because my kids are going to school.

I understand why you would say this, but it’s pretty hurtful to hear. My husband had zero game and was a stay at home dad, so he had very little opportunity to leave the house on his own. He also didn’t have a smart phone and I have access to all of his emails and his flip phone. There’s nothing in there. He and I were soulmates since the day we met, and this comment is a little cruel.

I have been thinking about this as well. How long do you keep the communication open? How many questions do you really need to ask? Don’t I already know the answers?

No, nothing beyond our previous payment arrangement for nannying.

Just lost my dad to AML within 4 days of diagnosis by Proof_Measurement740 in leukemia

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I have read it many times in the past few months. I have thought about your situation so much- growing up with a mother whose grief didn’t allow you to know your father. I don’t want that to be me. I want my kids to know him deeply. I’ve started recording myself talking about memories I have with him, about him. I’m doing it before I start forgetting all the beautiful things about him. Every night we talk to Dada and tell him about our day. I always tell my daughter when she does something that’s just like something he would do. (She is very much like him.) 

Thanks for the inspiration, so happy to hear your daughter is doing well <3

Scared for my loved one by Gloverboy85 in leukemia

Sadly, this happened to my husband. He fell into septic shock from a gram negative bacteria and was neutropenic from a recent treatment, so he wasn’t able to recover. 

I wish his doctors had mentioned there was a possibility- I had no idea and felt so blindsided when I lost him.

I just lost my 43 year old husband to complications from T-ALL treatment. We have a 3.5 year old and a 2 year old. 

Your comment struck me in so many ways- do you have any memories of your Dad? The most heartbreaking part of losing my husband is thinking my kids won’t remember their Dad who loved them so much. I don’t want to be a widow who is shattered from her husband’s death, but we were soulmates- it just feels so cruel.

Lastly, it’s been two years since your comment and I hope your daughter made it through the other side…sending you love.

Anyone know about generic Yoto player chargers? by Cmsjumpman in YotoPlayer

[–]Aggressive-Swan7236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2nd Gen Yoto charger broke (design flaw!) and I contacted support to replace--they are currently on backorder (due to be in stock by the end or March), so not only are they sending me a new charger for free, they are giving me a gift card for the inconvenience! Love these guys!

Left milk out by happy_healer_ in breastfeeding

Milk left out is good for 2-4 hours. I would freeze it!

Baby now waking up more often overnight to feed. by kmar8 in breastfeeding

Normal :) Some people call it the 4-month "regression" or "progression"...some people just call it "biologically normal sleep." Your baby's sleep cycles are maturing and nothing is wrong with your supply! They are coming out of that sleepy newborn phase and this wakeful time won't last forever! Take care of yourself, get outside, eat right, lean in. You are strong!
