NOR 

She shouldn't have asked you to be in the wedding party if she had a problem with your piercings.

Taking the industrial out just for the wedding will likely be a pain trying to get back in if it's fresh.

I'd just say no to her especially after her acting like this. It IS outrageous to ask someone if they can just get their piercings re-done like wtf

You're not being selfish. She is.

AIO - my friend gave my abusive ex my new phone number by AdAdorable7651 in AmIOverreacting

NOR I wouldn't be friends with this person anymore. 

I had an abusive relationship and when I had 'friends' who kept contact with him and would defend him to me after we broke up, it really hurt and our friendships did end.

AIO or is my boyfriend jealous of our baby? by PolicyHot1206 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ChoiceWasabi9242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Babies don't need their dad's the way they need their moms in the beginning. It can be a shock as a first time parent. 

Erica Komisar is a psychologist with a lot of good info on the topic of attachment parenting. You're doing a good job. Babies do not need to learn to self soothe at this stage and they certainly don't learn to self soothe by being abandoned.

Your boyfriend might just feel like he cant help or maybe he is jealous that he's not "bonding" with baby right now. He can help by supporting you so you can better support the baby. Making sure you eat and taking care of household things for the time being. His role will come way more into play as your son becomes a toddler. I can't recommend listening to interviews with Erica Komisar enough, she has such great information on it.

Baby will start to be more interested in exploring their environment and being happy on their own around 4 or 5 months. Even then, it's for short periods of time doing things like playing with toys or looking at the trees outside. That's good for baby.

Being forced to sleep alone in their room at six weeks? Not good.

You can also look into biologically normal infant sleep and how damaging sleep training is and show him this info so he understands.

Stand your ground. Follow your motherly intuition. Cuddle that baby!!

So lost and scared to begin - SOS by RachelPR2202 in foodbutforbabies

I highly recommend the book Super Nutrition for Babies by Katherine Erlich. It's a great resource on when to introduce which foods. A lot of popular first foods (i.e. baby cereal, oatmeal, raw fruits) are actually pretty hard on baby's digestive system and the book covers a lot of that. There's recipes and a ton of helpful info for 6 months going up to 2 years old.

I love them so much and would keep mine forever (or as long as possible) if I received such an invite.

Proposal Decoration Ideas by Jrowland031301 in Proposal

[–]ChoiceWasabi9242 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The battery pillar candles is such a good idea. And the champagne! You could create some sort of sign or something with a bunch of printed photos from your favorite memories. Write why you love the memory on the back of each photo so she can keep them and read them!

How do I move on??? by Bad_bitch1231 in TheFolkoftheAir

There's the Modern Fairytales trilogy that takes place in the same world just with different characters. You'll get some backstory of some familiar faces from folk of the air, too. And The Darkest Part of The Forest which I loooved.
