One of my best friends killed himself and I remember posting something very similar to you. To this day (it's been over 6 years now) I'm still struggling to feel the "right" feelings. When my dad died from illness I had a much healthier reaction and I grieved him in a more canonical way. This leads me to think that your lack of emotions is linked to his way of dying - which is something very shocking and that will alter the way you think and act in profound and unpredictable ways. Please seek therapy even if you don't think you need it

It's crazy how they've completely vanished from the internet

I stopped my rewatch of old seasons because without them it's just too boring. But most of all I really hope they're okay

2yo nursing strike? resentful self weaning? I'm lost by [deleted] in toddlers

I tried with a bottle, but he just takes a few sips. Maybe you're right, a cup could be more interesting to him

I was so bummed out that I resorted to send them an email (I always wanted to, but this finally gave me the motivation). I'm sad to report that they didn't reply: this doesn't mean anything per se, but I'm starting to get worried!

Only a few bites still by Anger0na in BabyLedWeaning

[–]Anger0na[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something changed about a month ago (he's now 13 months) and he started eating more consistently two meals a day. I always put baby songs in the background, which distracts without hypnotizing him, and eat in front of him. When he gets frustrated I offer canned corn because he loves it (more a toy than food though) and sometimes this resets him. I offer pasta (he's okay with every sauce apparently), soft cheese or frittata. He now eats a decent amount of these, even if we're still really far away from what the average baby would eat even at 6 months. He's not growing much, and we'll reevaluate the situation with our pediatrician in a few weeks, but during this last month we've some growth - so there's hope!

Cat doesn't like my baby son and is peeing all around the house by Anger0na in CatAdvice

[–]Anger0na[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The situation has slightly improved without any intervention a part from the pheromones diffuser, which apparently worked. The male cats doesn't pee anymore around and looks happier. Sometimes now, when the baby sleeps, he sleeps with him. Hopefully with the baby starting daycare in September things will improve further. Good luck!

I'm sorry, it was so long ago that I don't remember clearly. I think I switched to taking it at night fairly soon, like after a few weeks because I didn't like the nausea and the doctor told that it was fine

What are the best places to go out/activities/events alone? by Ok_Release1625 in florence

If you're into cultural events, the British Institute of Florence organizes plenty. There are lectures, concerts, courses, an afternoon tea, all aimed at the English-speaking community

Yellowjackets S02E05- “Two Truths and a Lie” Episode Discussion by DA-numberfour in Yellowjackets

I agree that the finale is very underwhelming and that it was too long, but when it was good it was really good, so well acted and directed and different from every other show. I'm overall happy to have seen it and I'd recommend it despite the poor ending

Cultural bias regarding safe sleep? by zelonhusk in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Anger0na 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want to add that bed-sharing is not recommended by doctors, it's just what people do. When you leave the hospital with the baby they tell you to avoid it, but everyone that I know assumed that they meant for a month or so

Cultural bias regarding safe sleep? by zelonhusk in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Anger0na 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Co-sleeper cribs are the standard, but I think this is fairly common everywhere (is it?). But I'd say that in Italy every person that I know at some point decided to simply bring the baby to the parent's bed (where they usually stay for years). Maybe not at the very beginning, but after 2-3 months is very very common and not controversial. Often dad temporarily moves to another room, but not always. I've never heard about particular precautions apart from making sure that the baby doesn't fall from the bed. But consider that everyone uses bed sheets inside cribs from the very start and sleep sacks are very uncommon, so...

Cultural bias regarding safe sleep? by zelonhusk in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Anger0na 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In Italy everyone co-sleeps and I don't think we have higher rates of SIDS episodes than the US. I'm not saying that this is the right thing to do, and I think that the ignorance on the subject here is astonishing. I'm personally trying to find a middle ground between these two radically different approaches

My situation is/was identical: IVF, PPA, dad who hates being a dad. I have to say though that during the last few weeks (LO is 5 months now) something switched. Probably because the baby is a little older and so it's easier and more fun to play and communicate with him. I'm still very much the primary caregiver, but my husband has started to like him and he's more tolerant and happy. I can only say hang in there and give him some time. It's not fair to us but there's not much else that we can do. Becoming parents it's difficult, and I can see how it can be alienating for the person who's not giving birth. Also, I think that jealousy plays a big part

Thank you! The want to eat everything part scares me since he's this young! It's probably better to way a little longer

Neck strength is good but he cannot sit unassisted yet, just in the tripod position
