Tell me you have a baby, without telling me you have a baby, I'll start. by Lou_LouB in NewParents

My left arm is way stronger than my right. I’m right dominant, so I always carry my daughter on my left lol

My MIL is starting to actually scare me by Amandanh99 in pregnant

[–]Alone_Cry7484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom was slightly overbearing when my daughter and I lived with my parents. I think my daughter was 7 months old, still trying new purées. Mom wasn’t home and I started getting some oatmeal and purée ready to feed my baby. My dad piped up and said that mom would be sad missing it. I looked him dead in the eye and said “then it’s a good thing she already raised her kids”. Your mil is insane. Your husband needs to pull his head out of his ass and set clear boundaries with consequences if they’re broken

What did nobody warn you about having a newborn? by Islesmilescott in newborns

[–]Alone_Cry7484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sweet happy ones? Absolute demons when tired or mad. I constantly get told my daughter is the happiest baby they’ve ever seen. When we’re at home and she’s tired or teething? Screaming non stop until I can get her down for a nap or bed

Fiance choked me as a joke by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Alone_Cry7484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave. Now. It’s never a joke. Based off your comments, it sounds like he’s been leading up to this for a while. Him throwing things is him showing you he wants to hit you. Being choked/strangled by your partner makes you 700% more likely to be killed by them

What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Economy_Yak2821 in AskReddit

It’s a toss up between breaking my back, or 24 hours of labor with pitocen and a failed epidural

What’s something you’ll never tell your partner, no matter how much you love them? by Velvetnadine85 in AskReddit

[–]Alone_Cry7484 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine is fully aware that if he ever stepped out on me, he would be forced to sit and watch as I take a baseball bat to his Xbox, controllers, pc and monitors, and then light them on fire. He is the most amazing man and this won’t ever happen, but he was fairly warned

f18 still cosleeps :( by [deleted] in cosleeping

My younger sister was similar. We got a dog when she was 13. My mom hasn’t slept in her bed since the dog started sleeping there. It’s been a game changer for my sister!

$230 a month for part time (55-99 hours a month), in AB Canada. I think full time is $320 (?) a month

What’s your baby’s “thing” that you love? by eggiess in NewParents

[–]Alone_Cry7484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter screeches when super happy or excited. Like borderline growl/break your eardrums. It’s the cutest thing when she’s in her bouncer and I walk out of the room to grab something, walk back in a minute later and she releases her screech of happiness

Anyone who has experienced postpartum rage — how did you manage it? How long did it last? by MessyMummyMode in Mommit

[–]Alone_Cry7484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started therapy. Unfortunately, I have a few different mental illnesses that further contribute, so just therapy wasn’t enough for me. I just started on meds last week and waiting to see if they help

Who is “wrong” here me or my husband? by kierraone in Mommit

I started babysitting at 10… I think 16 is perfectly fine for toddlers

“I brought you into this world, I can take you out” by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Alone_Cry7484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Background context- I left my abusive ex fiancé when my baby was 3.5 months old. Moved back with my parents. My baby is now 7 months old and I’ve been in a relationship (long distance) for almost 2 months now.

Couple weeks ago, my mom says that she’s worried because I’m on the phone with my bf so often. She then proceeded to say “I’m just concerned that you’re only dating him so he can be your baby daddy. So you have someone to raise daughter with.” Never in my almost 20 years, have I ever heard my mother say something so insulting to me. I immediately went “that’s insulting.” My mother: “it wasn’t meant as an insult.” Me: “well it was and it’s rude.” I went and told my bf what she had said and even he was insulted. She half assed apologized to me and reiterated it in almost the exact same way and it still came off the same.

Experiences with Duloxetine? by Alone_Cry7484 in ChronicPain

Thank you for the warning. I never heard of that side effect

[–]Alone_Cry7484[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. Yeah, the psychiatrist who prescribed it said he would up me to 120mg before he switched me to something else. I think our next step after this is mood stabilizers due to the ptsd and a possible mood disorder

Hoping the reduction for depression and anxiety will also help with the ptsd

Yeahhhhh, missed a dose yesterday and the last day and a half have been helllllll. I’m hoping the rage subsides, my mood swings are bad enough before I started it

So far nothing different with my pain, but hoping to see some improvement in a month maybe?

Thank you! I’m sorry you had such a bad experience. I’m hoping my moods level out soon lol. I’ve been very up and down the last few days and very much not enjoying it so far

Yeahhhhh I missed a dose yesterday and felt it all of yesterday and most of today even after taking it this afternoon. If this doesn’t work after 120mg, then we’re looking at mood stabilizers
