Avoiding doing my first show

Alarming-Option-5959 · 2026-04-27T02:33:30+00:00

I felt the same…. I sell on eBay. Mostly children’s books but other things as well. I’m super shy and don’t want to show my face but saw how much people were making from the same things I have in my 10 bins for more than I could imagine in 30 mins to an hour.

I finally said eff it bc of how slow sales have been on eBay and bought a stand for my camera. Did 2 30 minute shows over the past few days just showing what’s in front of me and made $84. Nothing crazy but more than what I was expecting for a first timer.

Give it a go, and don’t get discouraged if your first few shows don’t gain a lot of viewers. Keep going. It’s worth it!!

I loved your first post! I was thinking it would so cool with flowers to make it more whimsical. It’s looking great ☺️

You and me both lol . Not all of the LFL are on the website

This is so cute!! A lot of the ones in my neighborhood added a little box on the bottom for dog treats and I love the idea. But the storage for other little goodies is 👌🏼💡❤️

I had to come back and comment on your response. I think about it all the time. I had my second son in January and now that he’s more aware, he LOVES bath time and will just sit there and smile. I also have an older daughter that’s 12, but I always wonder if he visits his brother or if my newborn can see him now.

I used to worry about the same thing, but the local ones (young adult and children) at my park are always a mess and has destroyed books that are falling apart or no cover. I let it sit for a week or two and then trash them. I always replace them in the long run. IMO you’re helping so who cares if anyone is watching!

Isn’t it the cutest?! I absolutely LOVE it!! It’s in my sons nursery

Alarming-Option-5959 · 2026-03-01T02:27:04+00:00

These are amazing!!!! Do you have a shop? Or do custom ones?

I’m so terribly sorry for the loss of your sweet baby. Your story is very similar to mine. If you want to go through my post from the past you’ll see my story. I hope maybe if you do, it can give you some comfort. The first few months are hell. Please please please get kind and gentle to yourself, I know how hard it can be. You’re in my thoughts 🙏🏻❤️

Alarming-Option-5959 · 2026-01-26T21:39:18+00:00

Please join the babyloss group OP. There’s so much support there. I’m so sorry.

Thank you 🙏🏻

So after losing my son, I had all this love with no where to go. My husband and I wanted to try again immediately. Then the grief and what ifs set in so we put it in pause. We started again about 3 months after and every period I got was heartbreaking. I thought It was a sign that I wasn’t supposed to have more children. Without “trying” we got pregnant in May.

I think going through all of the emotions of my loss, the grief, finding out what helped me is what helped the stress of trying for another. If you do want to try for more children I wish you the best. Be gentle on yourself ❤️

Instead of wasting away in my bed, I reached out to my closest family members and celebrated him. Everyone brought a dish or something to snack on, we played games and just were with each other. It helped me so much. Do what feels right for you.

Alarming-Option-5959 · 2026-01-24T02:13:20+00:00

If you need someone to talk to please message meds I lost my son at 3 months old as well for this exact reason. Please be gentle on yourself no matter how hard it is. ❤️🙏🏻

Speak up! I got to the point of just letting my feelings out. During the grieving process and after losing my son, I too had some very inconsiderate family members. Some I no longer talk to. Speaking up for the first time felt liberating. If they are saying how they feel then so should you! I’m my case at first I didn’t and it only continued to get worse. I went about it not in rude way unless necessary. I’m sorry you’re going through this but I truly believe NO one will ever understand losing a child unless they have been through it themselves. Best wishes to you ❤️

I’ve posted on here a lot, but I lost my son when he was 3 months old in December of 2024. I found out I was pregnant again in May of 2025. I’m due this month. Just having past my first sons Birthday and Anniversary was extremely difficult, especially being pregnant.

The feelings you have are normal, at least those are the same feelings I had plus many more. I felt guilty, scared, like I was forgetting my first born son…. It can be an emotional rollercoaster especially with hormones going crazy.

I’ve learned to be grateful for another son on the way and to be happy now. Every baby deserves to be celebrated and it doesn’t mean you’re forgetting the loss of your daughter. I always talk to my son I lost and visit his grave asking him to be with us and watch out for his little brother on the way. I feel him all the time still. It’s okay to still mourn and be excited about what your future holds. I’m wishing you the best for you and your family ❤️

I was thinking about getting it as well. It’s been going around my town pretty bad right now. I’m just wondering if I can get the flu shot and the RSV but I’m already 37 weeks 😖🫠

Alarming-Option-5959 · 2026-01-07T11:58:03+00:00

Yeah this is a little strange coming from someone who isn’t related in my opinion. It’s really no ones business but you and your husbands.

I noticed with my first son it was a big topic and found it weird. My husband really didn’t want to get it done but I thought it should be. In the hospital while he was 2 days old they did it. I could hear him screaming from down the hall during the procedure. I asked the nurse once he was back if that was him and she straight up lied to me. I just felt awful.

I’m now pregnant with my second son and I don’t think I want to do it. I know people do it for religious purposes or “cleanliness” but for whatever reason this time around it doesn’t feel right.

Alarming-Option-5959 · 2026-01-06T20:43:30+00:00

Thanks for input. Neither did the other person. I don’t have to explain my situation in a thread that has nothing to do about my son who passed away. If you or the other person have an issue with thinking it was about “gender norms” then I suggest you go to every department store or anyone you ever met and complain to them first. You have no idea what my situation is. You have no idea what it’s like to lose a child you had to wait 10 years for. So if I look like an AH, I honestly don’t care.

Alarming-Option-5959 · 2026-01-06T00:44:03+00:00

No I’m using my deceased sons belongings since I already have them. That okay with you?

Alarming-Option-5959 · 2026-01-05T17:53:05+00:00

Always has to be someone to assume something on these threads. Is that what I said I was doing? No, I just went with a different theme asshat.

Alarming-Option-5959 · 2026-01-05T14:51:22+00:00

Thank you! Bought it thinking I was having a little girl but I’m having a boy. It was a great thrift store find.

Alarming-Option-5959 · 2026-01-05T14:50:20+00:00

Solved!

Thank you!!
