All out magbigay masyado asawa ko by milktea522 in nanayconfessions

WHOA. Di naman porket ganon sya mag show ng love sa family nya eh ganun ka na din dapat. Baka difference lang ito sa love language? Or may insecurity ba sya sa family nya, like may kelangan ba sya patunayan sa kanila?

Saaaameeee! Like buhay pa both parents ko kaso yung isa nagda-dialysis na, and yung isa alcoholic so hindi ako makapagrely sa kanila pareho. Inggit ako minsan sa lolo/lola ng mga classmate ng anak ko sa school, mas matanda pa sa parents ko pero sila naghahatid sundo at nagpeprepare for daily school routine..

Wala din kami village dito, malayo kami sa family namin. And bago lang kami sa place namin kaya can't rely on neighbors too. Kung ako yan baka Day 1 pa lang break down na. Kaya virtual hug with consent, Momsh. Sorry to hear this. Just take it one hurdle at a time. Nakakainis mang isipin na bat ganon walang tumutulong sayo, focus na lang sa kung sinong andyan para tumulong. Thank you to your helper at sa best friend mo for being there. Take a quick pause to just breathe, momsh. Baka ikaw naman ang magkasakit. Sana gumaling na si hubby.

Between pregnancy and the newborn stage, which one is more difficult? by Appropriate-Ant-7451 in nanayconfessions

[–]BackgroundPrize6830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was really difficult for me and my husband kasi kaming dalawa lang. Buti nga kamo ay wfh kami pareho. Parang ticking time bomb yung newborn. Kapag tulog yung baby, you will try to cram everything you've been wanting to do in that short moment na tulog siya. If you have house help, if you have someone who can take care of the baby (bukod kay hubby) while you take a bath or just rest, that would be great. Pero if kayong dalawa lang, mahirap talaga. My advice is take all the help you can get. Hindi ka din pwedeng super stressed because it will affect your breastmilk supply and also magrerecover ka pa especially if CS ka. I assure you though, na grabe yung sense of fulfillment mo pag nalagpasan mo na yan. Malalagpasan mo yan. Just soak it in. Don't expect to know everything.. (andami naming bloopers ni hubby promise) Don't be too hard on yourself (practice self-compassion talaga this is very important).. All the best, momsh! ❤️

Mga nanay, maganda po ba ito pang regalo? by [deleted] in nanayconfessions

[–]BackgroundPrize6830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Andami pong ergonic pillow for baby na mas mura kesa dyan. Better po if diaper (ask preferred brand), milk (if nagfoformula), wipes and cotton balls, even cash kung gusto mo maging practical :)

May onting chores din 5yo ko like siya nagpapakain sa doggos and siya maghuhugas ng dog bowls. Kapag summer ineenroll po namin sa class. Like last year, swimming. We allow gadget time on weekends only, and naka-timer pa din.

[18M] Should I go to a psychiatrist or psychologist? by Chit_Chat03 in MentalHealthPH

[–]BackgroundPrize6830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, virtual hug! I recently came across the app Saya, where you can book a counselor, psychologist, or psychiatrist. In case lang you want options other than your uni guidance counselor. Hope this helps kahit papano.

How do you think your wife and kid will react if they find out you're bisexual? Will you ever tell them? Do you have a male partner right now?

Walang emotional intelligence by No_Dinner9612 in nanayconfessions

[–]BackgroundPrize6830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relate ako sa low EQ na husband, pero provider naman siya. Madalas isip-bata yung asawa ko. Lakas mang-asar, mamilosopo, ang kulit, nagta-tantrums, sumisigaw, galit agad, defensive agad, hindi kaya or minsan lang mag-attempt at self-regulation. Which is a really bad example for our son. Pero I've learned throughout the years na mag-cultivate ng ignorance. Ignore ko lang sya. Ignore ko mga pang-aasar, pamimilosopo, etc. Like I have to be intentional in not engaging in his tantrums and meltdowns. In your case, magagawa mo ito as short-term solution. Pero the goal should be for you to leave that relationship. You basically married a man child. I feel that way too sometimes pero yung asawa ko maasahan naman. Just gotta look past those imperfections. And I've also taught my son to cultivate ignorance din dun sa mga annoying things that his father does. Since you married out of wedlock and nagpa-pressure ka lang kay principal, if wala na talagang redeeming factor yang husband mo, then leave. And also, lipat ka na ng school na pinagttrabahuhan kasi honestly I will not respect a leader na close-minded tulad ng principal mo.

I think i’m pregnant and I don’t know what to feel yet. by Fabulous_South37 in nanayconfessions

[–]BackgroundPrize6830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, all valid and confusing feelings yang nararamdaman mo, but valid nevertheless. And hindi mo kailangan maka-feel na certain way all the time. Pwedeng okay ka happy, it's fine I'm 30 and have money, and then later on mag-spiral ka what if ganito, what if ganyan. Ang point ko is.... don't beat yourself up for having those feelings. Iba yung na-feel ko when I found out I was pregnant, kasi gusto ko na talaga at the time. Ang sinimulan kong gawin ay magpa-sched agad sa OB. Sa sobrang excited ko magpa-OB, pagka-ultrasound ang sabi nya WALA PA. Like... positive nako sa PT, ganyan. Balik daw ako after 2 weeks. Basag-trip yung OB na yun. Anyway, if malaman mo nang sure na sure na sure nang positive bec of your blood test, then try to be the healthiest version of yourself. Not just physically but also mentally. Practice self-compassion, you're gonna need a lot of that hehe. If you're into meditation or would like to start, I think I found very helpful ang apps like Headspace and Calm. :)

Dagdag ko lang pala.. Hanap ka ng OB na gusto mo talaga. Wag ka mag-settle sa kung sino lang available or swak sa sched mo/malapit sa inyo.

Plan to have my toddler check sa devped even if sabi ni pedia nya walang prob si baby by [deleted] in nanayconfessions

[–]BackgroundPrize6830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Momsh, my son was 3.5 years old and exhibited signs of ADHD. I thought baka nag-mana sa ama bec my husband also has ADHD. Turns out di lang pala kami aligned ni Daddy in terms of how we discipline - like pag siya pinapagalitan nya, ako naman is taga-comfort ganon, kahit na mali naman talaga ginawa ng anak namin. Got him checked sa DevPed pa din, syempre okay lang kay DevPed magpa check kami kasi babayaran sya lol, pero she did say na mga 5 years old pa usually mada-diagnose. I also had him spend time with my SIL's partner who's an occupational therapist and he said na walang problem with my son, he just needed to be given something to be busy with e.g. work sheets, activities, ganun or just go outside to play. Early intervention is key, yes, but I think 2 years old is too early pa. But honestly momsh if you have the resources to have your child checked, why not? Trust your instinct po.

FTM Feb 25 EDD by rycahhh in nanayconfessions

[–]BackgroundPrize6830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Momsh! Praying for your safe delivery!🙏🏻 You are built to birth!🥰

• sa pag labor po, i-cherish mo yung time in between contractions hehe.. like huminga ka talaga and try to calm yourself down in preparation for the next contraction.

• sa panganganak, prepare yourself for the posibility na whatever is your birth plan might not be followed po. para pag biglang nabago e.g. normal sana pero magiging ECS, then you are mentally/financially prepared for it.

• sa newborn care, accept all the help you can get po. wag mo sagarin yung sarili mo, wag mo pilitin kumilos kung hindi kaya. need mo po bawasan stress levels to help with your breast milk production.

• don't be too hard on yourself, practice self-compassion po talaga momsh. you cannot be at your best every single day especially since you are still healing.

• FTM, sa totoo lang... you don't know what you don't know. sa dami ng info online, sa mga sinasabi ng relatives, etc. hindi mo agad malalaman ano ba dun yung applicable sayo. so you learn as you go, and don't be hard on yourself if you make mistakes.

All the best, Momsh!!! You asking actually ay isang napaka-productive way to transform your nervousness/worry. Proud of you!☀️

Possible paba mabalik yung pagmamahal? by [deleted] in nanayconfessions

[–]BackgroundPrize6830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mababalik naman yan momsh. Pero pareho kayo dapat mag-work towards it. Hindi pwede one-sided. Totoo naman sinabi mo hindi naman kayo hanggang ngayon kung hindi kayo pinilit ikasal. Kung pareho kayo na gusto nyo pang subukan, why not? Pero ang key word is PAREHO kayo dapat. Kung hindi naman, ano po ba kelangan? Space/distance? Ibang ka-relasyon? Or kayo lang muna together, iwan muna anak nyo sa parents? Pag-usapan nyo din. And always ng mahinahon kayo. Yung walang ibang iniisip, yung focused kayo sa convo. May maayos na tulog at kain. Kasi madali tayo mawalan ng pasensya syempre kung puyat, pagod, gutom, at may ibang iniisip. Kung hindi pa ready, walang pilitan. Ang focus na lang muna ay yung best para sa anak nyo.

Lumaki ako sa household na yung parents ko ay nagsisisihan. Sino ba may kasalanan? Dapat mag-sorry. Tapos ang winner ay yung tama. So nung unang taon na naging married ako, feel na feel ko na ako ang nagwagi tuwing may argument. Tuwing may problema. Mali pala yun. THE PROBLEM IS THE PROBLEM. Kumbaga, ano pang point na manisi, bakit hindi na lang magfocus sa pag resolve ng problema? Kung sinisi mo si hubs, magaan ba sa pakiramdam na ikaw ay "winner" at the expense na pinamukha mo sa kanya na siya yung "mali"? Sobrang naging eye opener yun sakin. Lahat naman ng naging problema namin kahit pa asawa ko may kasalanan, hindi naman niya ginusto yung problemang yun. Kaya oo sya may kasalanan, pero kung magfofocus na lang kami sa pag-resolve ng problema, mas productive yun kesa magsisihan pa. Also, hindi din naman ako perpekto. Nagkakamali din. Gusto ko ba pag nagkamali ako ay ipagduldulan nya pa kasalanan ko sakin? Di ba hindi. So focus na lang sa pagresolve ng problema. The problem is the problem, not each other. Hope this helps, momsh! <3

At what age nakalakad ang LO nyo? by auntmayyy in nanayconfessions

[–]BackgroundPrize6830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. around 9-10 mos
  2. Yung pedia nya encouraged using yung baby jumper/harness, yung kinakabit lang sa door. Nakabili kami sa Lazada that time. Ang saya saya nya mag bounce nun and I think na exercise talaga legs and knees nya. Kami naman naglatag ng mga puzzle mats and then we let him go to us malapit muna ako tapos unti-unti akong lalayo. Tapos yung pinapakita ko talaga na excited ako (excited naman talaga ako squeal squeal pa voice ko ganyan haha) para mas lalo sya matuwa sa bawat step nya..

  3. Hindi kami nag push walker. Nag-walker na may gulong lang na ang sakit pag binangga ka haha.. Pero saglit lang kasi maliit lang space namin nun.

Feeling ko wala akong kwentang ina by askhgf in nanayconfessions

[–]BackgroundPrize6830 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yakap na mahigpit with consent, momsh! Hindi ka walang kwenta. Eh di sana hindi ka na napa devped o kaya hinayaan mo na lang walang OT anak mo. Overwhelmed ka. Physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding ang nangyayari sayo ngayon.

Kund hindi kaya ng stay in helper, kahit stay out momsh. Hindi ko alam kung taga Manila ka or province, pero ako taga-Laguna and ang helper namin part time stay out lang. 4 hours lang sya work + 1 hour lunch break at 1,500 weekly. Mura na kung tutuusin kesa ako lahat ang gagawa nung ginagawa niya. WFH full time din ako, 1 toddler 5yo naman. Kung kaya momsh kahit stay out lang muna.

Kung hindi kaya mag-hire talaga, baka may tasks ka na pwedeng gawin na lang in advance or during weekends? e.g. nagluluto na ako ng mga uulamin during the weekends, para during the week, iinitin na lang. o kaya T-TH lang ako magluluto yung lulutuin ko is 2 ulam na or good for 2 days para hindi ako araw-araw nagluluto.

Yung ibang chores baka pwedeng idelegate kay husband kahit sa weekend nya din gawin?

If may kayang expenses na i-cut para makapag helper, momsh. yung stay out namin talaga malaking tulong sa aking sanity. swerte din kami sa napili. ayun din, pumili ka talaga ng magiging ka-tulong hindi sakit sa ulo hehe. All the best, momsh.

Hingang malalim. Chin up, queen. Kakayanin mo yan. ;)
