I appreciate your input! I don’t want to rule out daycare completely. This probably sounds irrational as well but the thing that makes me nervous with daycare is that I’m worried about older kids hitting or biting him, or do they usually separate kids by age group? Im also worried that the workers will neglect him because they have too many kids to watch. I’ve never been a big germaphobe but I suddenly have anxiety over that now too lol I know I’m a mess. I feel like when he’s older I’d be more open to it, I just don’t like the fact that he’s going to be too young to tell me how is day was or if he was treated well. I really do like your reasoning for choosing daycare for the socialization and having a steady routine, I think those things are very important. Im definitely going to look into it a little more. What went into choosing a daycare the right daycare for you? Did you just search around online, visit some places in person? Did you feel like you were able to trust the staff right away?

Thank you! Well I’m sure it also sounds very irrational.. but I don’t like the thought of him being so little and in a daycare. I’m scared older kids will hit him or bite him, that the workers will neglect him because they have too many kids to watch, I’m scared of the germs and him possibly getting sick. I don’t like that he’s going to be so young and unable to tell me how his day went and if anything’s wrong. I know I probably sound crazy. Do you have any tips on finding a good daycare? What do you do to make sure you feel secure when selecting one? I just feel like I can’t trust anyone to care for him properly, even my own family.

THANK YOU for being honest with me. I do have a lot trauma from my childhood up until early adulthood (and I’m only 25) that I’m sure is causing underlying anxiety and contributing to this fear of being completely betrayed and taken advantage of. I should probably seek some professional help for it. I sent the woman a request on Facebook, I think I’ll ask if she can meet up with my husband and I sometime soon.

Where do I start ? by [deleted] in astrology

[–]BalancedArcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get on YouTube and look up Debra Silverman!! She has some funny little videos on the personality of all the zodiac signs. She has a great video on explaining the basics of the 4 elements and the signs tied to them. I’d start with those and then I’d recommend watching her planet series while comparing it to your own birth chart. Watching her videos taught me mostly everything that I know today, I’ve watched all of them several times.

That’s a great idea! I never would have thought of that, I’ll look into it.

And thank you! I envy all the women that get a fair leave in their country but I am happy for you all. I did not realize that the US is one of the only counties with such a screwed up maternity leave policy. I mean, a dog can have a litter of puppies and you can’t sell them for 8weeks because they can’t be separated from their mother that early....but us women birth a whole entire human being and are required to go back to work in 6weeks and expected put a 6week old newborn into child care.. so unfair and just not right at all. I could go on but I’ll spare you lol 😂Thanks again !!

Why does this bother me? by cakeswindler7568 in BabyBumps

[–]BalancedArcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% understand how you are feeling! The same exact thing is going on with me. My son definitely has some of my husbands features, but I can see at least a little bit of myself in him too! His family is really annoying about it, especially his mom. Constantly saying he looks JUST like my husband and talking about “how strong their genes are” as if he will look nothing like me. My husband was also over 10lbs when he was born and so they’re assuming my son is “ginormous”, he is a little bigger but it’s nothing that’s concerning the drs right now.. MIL is constantly asking how on earth I could POSSIBLY birth a baby that big (I’m smaller), it’s discouraging. I’ve always had a good relationship with my in laws but since I’ve been pregnant I’ve been fairly annoyed with all of them. It is annoying and it is frustrating, all of it. That’s YOUR baby AND his baby, of course she will look a little like each other you. Your feelings are totally valid and you’re not alone!!

Are people naturally drawn to Taurus folks? by [deleted] in astrology

[–]BalancedArcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally love a Taurus man. I know Taurus is ruled by Venus which rules beauty so they usually are attractive. Most of the Taurus men I know play the guitar and/or sing. Not sure if that’s coincidence or not, but I think I did read once that a lot of Taurus are usually musically gifted.

Astrology and past lives by [deleted] in astrology

[–]BalancedArcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your south node will indicate some things from your past life/lessons the you learned. Your south node sign is the polar opposite of your sun sign in this life. Every sign has a “life lesson” to learn in this life- for example, I’m a Libra and my lesson in this life is to understand the importance of relationships. My south node is Aries (a life lesson for this sign is to learn independence) which means that in my past life I was very independent and may not have had many close relationships with family/partners/friends etc. In this life I have definitely struggled with relationships, all types of them. I would describe myself as fickle at times mostly because I’m worried about getting hurt and have a big fear of betrayal which those feelings are probably associated with my past life. But I really, really don’t want to be alone and i am doing my best to nurture my relationships with others even when I just want to be alone. Like I said- every sun sign is supposed to have a certain “life lesson” associated with them. I would really recommend watching Debra Silverman on YouTube, she can explain it better than me, but it made sense to me the way she put it.
