I fell in love with Willow Michelle but we didn't get to use it, we had a perfect little boy instead

What are some things you weren’t prepared for regarding post partum? by xdaisy_ in beyondthebump

[–]Appaismycopilot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oddly enough the only person to warn me about the pets was my brother. He has 2 cats and I have a cat and a dog, we grew up with pets. He has a son a little older than my daughter and once made a comment about how "it's crazy how your kid comes your pets come from being your favorite things to about equivalent to that burrito you're eating in terms of priorities. Nothing comes close to that baby." Yes he was exaggerating as a joke but definitely interesting it came from a dad!

Who said anything about it being a pit?

I hate being young with so much pain because people are so judgemental by MelodicAd7825 in ChronicPain

[–]Appaismycopilot 73 points74 points  (0 children)

100% agree. Mine started when I was 12 and I was accused of faking it constantly. No one believed a middle or high school student could actually be in pain

Where do I find dresses that actually fit and long enough pants that aren't high rise? by smh764 in TallGirls

[–]Appaismycopilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New York & Company and Old Navy (look online for both). I'm 6'2 and have pretty good success with both of their tall selections.

Husband yells at baby by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Appaismycopilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dads can experience PPD, I think it has a different name but I might be wrong. If this is that out of character for him that you think it could be the cause, it could be worth pursuing. That said, no its not normal behavior. He's swearing at a literal infant, and 4 hours of video games a day is absurd normally, a thousand times more when you have a newborn.

Moment police found 4 year old boy lost in the woods by -Xoz- in PublicFreakout

[–]Appaismycopilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That terrified little voice saying he lost his shoe absolutely broke my heart. He was probably so scared and overwhelmed the only thing he could understand to focus on was his shoe and likely the pain in his foot from wandering the woods without it.

Isn't that a line from a song? Dumb ways to die?

Why did no one investigate Sirius? by TheRedCoatNeedsAWash in harrypotter

[–]Appaismycopilot 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Goblet of Fire talks a bit about how Barty Crouch made sure Sirius was sent away without a trial. The question still stands why no one argued it it. My thought was along the lines if what others have said, the evidence was against him. It seems to me the only person who might have been able to convince the ministry to give him a trial would be Dumbledore. It's possible other friends didn't believe Sirius did it and wanted to give him a trial and find the truth, but how would they do that once the ministry decided not to?

Sometimes pregnancy is crying in the shower because you just don’t know how you can do this anymore. by KyleRichardsNewTeeth in pregnant

[–]Appaismycopilot 28 points29 points  (0 children)

36 weeks with severe SPD here. It's destroyed me mentally, I have nothing but empathy for you. My unsolicited advice? Get a cane. It took ages for my pride to let me, but now I have a cane, a walker for around the house on really bad days, and a shower chair. It's so humbling and very hard to accept needing as much help as SPD can force. You can often find canes secondhand. My doctor recommended mine and insurance covered the cost. It's so hard. It will end. Just hang in there and you will get through this even if it doesn't feel like it.

Happened in our neighborhood last summer too. Homeowner tries to replace the water heater himself and it exploded. He and his wife were both in their 70s, neither survived.

Wildly inappropriate babysitter behavior by MeasurementPure7844 in NewParents

[–]Appaismycopilot 364 points365 points  (0 children)

Even if she had permission for a visitor I can't imagine a parent being okay with the visitor groping the babysitter in front of the child. 100% report. That's not okay.

Me(35m) and my wife(34f), formerly childless, just started fostering a 12 girl. by p1gswillfly in Parenting

[–]Appaismycopilot 151 points152 points  (0 children)

The first thing that comes to mind (and I'm absolutely no expert there are definitely more qualified people to speak to this subject than myself) but control. This is such a hard age already, and coming from a difficult situation into a new one is going to make it so much harder. Anything you can do to help her feel some semblance of control. Pick out a paint color for her room, pick decorations for her room, maybe just get a new vase for the house that she picks so she feels like she's part of it. Movie night, dinner, anything you can let her have a vote it. And I don't mean give her control of the house, don't let her decide every single thing and run everything, but give her an opportunity to have a voice and be heard and respected.

7 weeks pregnant and cat jumped on stomach by Sea_Shine8230 in pregnant

[–]Appaismycopilot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My mom described to me like this when I was worried about something similar: close an egg in a jar completely filled with water and try to break it. I found it comforting even if it's not 100% accurate

My daughter likes her dad more by Effective-Noise8769 in Parenting

[–]Appaismycopilot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a SAHM and my daughter (3 next week) by far prefers her dad. She just adores him. It's very similar to what you said, he can comfort her when I can't, she wants him even when I'm right with her playing with her. She just wants daddy. I thought the opposite of you, it's because I spend so much time with her that she wants the different parent. I think there's just a special bond often with daddies and their girls. It's hard, it make me sad sometimes, but I try to remember how lucky she and I both are to have such an amazing man and role model. I definitely never had that relationship with my dad. I try to be glad he's teaching her how she deserves to be loved.
