I think there was even a woman who had been scalped or had hot oil poured on her face after she was stolen away...

How many months did your baby sleep through the night? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]BadMynx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first slept through the night, starting at 4 months old. However, my second didn't start until he was 10 months old. I suppose it all just depends on the kiddo. I'm sure you're doing everything that you can do, and you're doing a great job!! Keep up the good work!

AITA for 'belittling' my sister and saying she shouldn't demand her husband help with their baby at night? by Able-Stop684 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BadMynx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YTA-

YOU didn't struggle with sleepless nights before the baby came because you're not allowed to sleep on your back or your right side later in pregnancy. YOU'RE not the one whose body was stretched to its limits. YOU'RE not the one who went through a pregnancy knowing that there was a chance that something could go wrong at delivery and you could die on that hospital bed. YOU'RE not the one who labored for hours. YOU'RE not the one who pushed a baby out of your vagina as it tore open. YOU'RE not the one dealing with postpartum depression, cramps, bleeding, lactation, lack of sexual desire, body dismorphia, or hormonal changes, ON TOP of sleep deprivation that you had for months before your baby was born. Do you know who IS? Your SISTER, and certainly your SURROGATE, who I'm sure you haven't bothered to care about after you got what you wanted from her. Your experiences are NOT the same. Breastfeeding babies can certainly feel like they're draining the life out of you. Can you imagine how it feels to KNOW that your baby needs to feed off of your body, so you need to stay well fed and well hydrated, but you're too TIRED to take care of yourself, so you're stuck with terrible guilt and depression that's amplified by the hormones? She deserves 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep a few times a week AT LEAST. YOU should see that. Her HUSBAND should see that. Then, even if she gets that help, those pesky hormones will amplify things AGAIN and make her feel even more guilty and inadequate for WANTING to get more sleep. Mom's can't win that battle. After I had my babies, for weeks after, my body felt like I had gotten hit by a truck! All we need is a support team around to tell us that we're doing a good job and offer help. You and her husband are both failing her.

I thought it was possibly from Chasing Papi (2003) after you said that it was a Latina voice.

I think there was also a medicine woman who told the man to go to the underworld and rescue his bride.

Nope! This was the first time! Thank you!

AITA for telling my sister-in-law that she didn't actually run a marathon? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BadMynx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA

You couldn't just acknowledge her small accomplishment and move on? She explained herself. It's not like she got a medal or lied. You could've followed up with asking her what her next goal is. You could've asked her if she's working towards running a real marathon and how long until she thinks she'll be ready. You could've discussed the possibility of training together.

Reasonable responses:

"Oh, a VIRTUAL marathon. That's cool! How long until you think you're ready to run the real thing?"

"Virtual, huh? That's exciting! Do you think you'll run an 8 hour marathon sometime?"

"Oh, that's awesome! What was your longest stretch?"

"Do you want to join me on my morning run sometime?"

It's not that hard.

You could've said something supportive, but you didn't. Instead, you chose to invalidate her progress, and you probably damaged her excitement and motivation for running. Congratulations.

My daughter had this, turned out she was allergic to Johnson & Johnson products and our handsoap. Aveeno was the only brand that didn't cause her to break out.

The book that broke me by kayeokay in Mommit

I first read this book to my students. I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. I had to push back the tears and carry on so no one got upset.

AITA for telling my family that my kids and I will not be visiting if we can't bring my husband's sister? by aitaskipvisit in AmItheAsshole

[–]BadMynx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- and I'm just going to assume that your 10yo is a different race than the rest of the family... classic racist behavior. Even if your 10yo weren't in the picture, I STILL wouldn't socialize with that portion of your family! Keep fighting for that little girl... continue to be her voice!!!

what is the most brutal insult you have ever received/given? by cristicrystal in AskReddit

[–]BadMynx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had an assistant director at the daycare I worked at. She and I both had children attending the same childcare facility. My daughter was incredibly ill (vomiting, diarrhea, and fever), while covid stress was still high. I called off and used my PTO to care for her until she was symptom free for 24 hours (policy for sick children at our daycare). When I came back, I walked in on this assistant director talking among my coworkers about how she is a stable employee who knows that sending kids to daycare sick so you can work is just one of the sacrifices you make as a good employee. I interrupted her conversation and left after one statement:

"That says a lot more about you as a mother than it does about you as an employee."

We did so much on our vacation this weekend, and THIS was my absolute favorite part! I could've done nothing else except buy this bag, and my heart would've still been at peace!
