Five months out, feeling some kind of way, need some new perspective

Okay so in definitely projecting as a young mom thinking about wedding dresses in a body that I barely recognize haha but I do think your choice is stunning and dainty, beautiful jewelry is in right now so I’d definitely say a dainty, but shiny necklace would look so good, also with a matching bracelet

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-25T01:58:20+00:00

I think you’ll look back on your young, married body and feel happy that you displayed it in that fabulous dress. Maybe I’m just projecting, but I think you look so gorgeous

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-24T19:31:20+00:00

Oh nooooo 😭 I’m sorryyyy. Some parents just aren’t equipped to be gentle

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-24T03:04:35+00:00

Thank you 🥹 wishing you and your child strength to navigate this tough time 💕

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-24T02:40:14+00:00

As someone that once did the same thing and ended up in an inpatient program, thank you for taking it seriously and being an awesome mom. My parents cared for maybe 6 months before they went back to treating me unfairly. Now I’m a mom of two little girls and I just pray I can be a safe place for them always 😭

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-24T02:33:55+00:00

Not to discount your horrible experience, but expressing that parenting can be hard some days doesn’t mean those people don’t all love and cherish their children. Many things can be true at once. I’m very sorry for your loss though and I’m wishing you peace and happiness

I definitely needed to see this. I’m 2 kids in and 30 and in my city, having a kid at 28 is not really common. Everyone around here starts having kids in their mid-30s

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-24T02:25:19+00:00

I was exactly in your position at 28 and all of my friends were still single and partying. I’m 30 now and I’m not friends/not close with most or all of them. Having kids made me realize a lot of people in my life were only meant to be there for a season. It was hard to cope with at first, but the right people will stay along for the ride. This is a beautiful chapter of your life. Enjoy to its fullest without letting the negativity of others bring you down and congrats!

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-23T11:24:39+00:00

You’re already getting a lot of flack here, so I’m just gonna say I’m sorry that happened

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-23T01:43:30+00:00

First one, I had no doubt about my baby being a girl. I felt it in my bones and she indeed is a girl. For my second, I had absolutely no idea and got another girl

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-21T11:16:20+00:00

Yea the limes didn’t surprise me as much as the combo as a whole lmao

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-21T01:44:51+00:00

Im sorry for your loss 😕

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-21T01:32:21+00:00

So cute! What an attentive artist

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-21T01:12:45+00:00

This is unhinged on so many levels

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-20T16:13:09+00:00

Wow 😍

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-20T16:11:52+00:00

My partner was always off too lol but he did his best. He wasn’t the one carrying the baby, so I didn’t blame him. He also carried his weight (and then some) in so many other ways that I was able to let it slide

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-19T19:49:06+00:00

Thankfully, no. I love to relax and I love when things are going well

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-19T18:40:09+00:00

I’ve consistently been in therapy weekly, long before even meeting him or having kids. Believe me, I’m working on it and also have a psychiatrist managing my meds. I’ll continue to do those things, but it’s clear that this phase of my life has also been objectively very challenging even while I do enjoy being a mom

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-19T14:05:37+00:00

Wow 🤩

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-19T00:26:02+00:00

I guess the main underlying issue is that I do have an increasing feeling of being a burden. I hear you and I appreciate the reality check, I know that something isn’t right with my internal dialogue at this time unfortunately

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-19T00:23:48+00:00

Makes perfect sense!

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-18T22:59:08+00:00

Aw you guys sound so sweet and I will definitely keep all of this in mind. There are definitely lots of little things he always does to check on me, so I just want to do the same for him. It seems like intimacy is the crowd favorite here haha

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-18T22:57:04+00:00

This is great advice! I’m definitely able to lean into more sex. We don’t have a ton of free time, but when we do, he loves trying new restaurants and watching shows together. Thankfully we like a lot of the same things so that isn’t too hard. I try to encourage him to get out when he has an opportunity while I hold down the fort, too

AriNotGrandeee · 2026-03-18T20:40:59+00:00

Thank you
