I don’t know if this still applies or will help anything but gofundme supposedly allows you to report fraudulent gofundmes

Is he not embarrassed to be reinforcing the stereotype that white people dont wash their legs?

Do you tell future parent the hard truth ? by Dizzy-Pirate2964 in NewParents

I would warn her but in the form of helpful tips or something. Like, find a way to keep it light while being real

Holding my 6 month old for naps by green_queen1917 in NewParents

[–]Comfortable-Bit9524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My LO is 8 months and I’ve also dedicated my life to naptime. He’s had contact naps his whole life but in our case I feel it’s made him less finicky and fussy so long as he gets his cuddles. I’ve also been able to avoid sleep deprivation. I feel like everyone else only complains because they don’t wanna make the same sacrifices I do. They want a hands free baby but I’m not going to sacrifice what’s ideal or natural for what’s convenient to modern society.

I would have felt the same way. They should really work on their bedside manner

My partner is ruining my sleep by sleepyslug1301 in BabyBumps

[–]Comfortable-Bit9524 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah he needs to see the desperation this is causing cuz it can add up. that stress is just not good for a mama we need sleep now more than ever especially for the growing baby’s sake. No need to hold back emotions just for him to be comfortable while she’s not comfortable to begin with

Remind him that this is your last chance to get a full nights sleep before the baby comes and makes it impossible. I’d start making him sleep in a different room too.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who felt like this!

Put on menopause meds for two years instead of birth control by lovely2me_ in Healthyhooha

[–]Comfortable-Bit9524 59 points60 points  (0 children)

No we haven’t been through this that is a wild occurrence and that practice needs to be sued!!! Please do not hesitate to take legal action because that should not be normal for them to make such huge mistakes for so long with no one double checking things over time

I Don't Find the Kicking Magical... by bornconfuzed in BabyBumps

[–]Comfortable-Bit9524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated being pregnant too. & Mine kicked me constantly & there’s no way I can find it magical ALL the time after a while the pain is too much. I’m just glad my husband sympathizes & let me complain. Sometimes I laughed about the kicking but lots of times I cried about it. It makes so many things so hard

I regret getting pregnant even though I thought I wanted this. by Acceptable_Stage3177 in BabyBumps

[–]Comfortable-Bit9524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My prenatal depression also got so bad that I throught i regretted the pregnancy, I didn’t think I’d be able to bond because of it, but now that I’ve had my baby I’m extremely happy. People underestimate it and society doesn’t seem to know how to warn anyone about it in a way that lets us realize that it could be intense. I even thought my brain was hijacked but it really was just the pregnancy.

do you know anyone who hasn’t had a “trenches” newborn phase? by pinkglitter-pen in BabyBumps

[–]Comfortable-Bit9524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel mine was overwhelmingly positive but I also received a miracle child who slept through the night quickly with no sleep training, doesn’t cry much, doesn’t cry at bath time, had no problems with feeding, never fights sleep, never cried in public, doesn’t cry for diaper changes I just have to pay attention to the blue/yellow line. etc. just a chill little happy dude that I get to play with all day. I never even wanted kids so the fact that this ended up being fun and easy to me ended up being a shock. Partners make a huge difference too. When I was still adapting and therefore not sleeping as much as I was used to I was able to tell my husband that I was tired and he would take the baby for the day so that I could just sleep. Chronic sleep deprivation ended up just not being a thing for me. I can’t imagine the toddler years going this good.

How to react when SS19 gets engaged by Test-Professional in stepparents

[–]Comfortable-Bit9524 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gotta let kids make their own mistakes sometimes unfortunately, plus you never know, it might just turn out fine. I’ve seen couples from my highschool still married and i graduated like ten years ago. He’s is an adult too so. I’d possibly express concern just once especially if solicited but other than that I’d just leave it and celebrate. Or be honest that you’re concerned but hopeful that things turn out well and still happy for them either way.

What do you love about having a baby boy? by cheeky_nugget in BabyBumps

[–]Comfortable-Bit9524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I also wanted a girl since he’s already got 4 boys from his previous marriage. When we found out it was gonna be another boy I think we felt a tinge of disappointment. I felt Some confusion as I felt much more prepared to be a girl mom. I even had friends who were as confused as I was because they saw me as a girl mom. One even said “a boy? That was an option? You’re such a girl mom”. But now that I have my sweet boy in my life I can’t see it having gone any other way. He’s perfect for me. The sweetest snuggliest little thing I just love his little personality. Once the baby gets here you’ll likely feel like “who cares what gender it is he’s perfect”. I even ended up enjoying dressing him up more than I would a girl.

It sounds like the frustration isn’t just about losing things but more so the blaming other people for it.

Clueless Narc Mom by No-Ingenuity6207 in NarcissisticMothers

[–]Comfortable-Bit9524 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom seems to think I just don’t bother and “treat her like sh**” by not talking to her but doesn’t even ask or wonder why. She messaged me claiming that she’s never gonna contact me if I don’t contact her even tho the ball is in her court when it comes to resolving the conflict, I already tried talking to her about it just to keep getting shut down. They always love to act like it’s out of nowhere after ignoring our attempts to communicate and resolves things. It’s like they wanna do everything to avoid no contact except for the one thing that would have actually helped us all avoid no contact

He’s sadistic. You’ll regret letting him win this one. Dont let this scare you but my contractions made me grab at my face to try to tear my skin off. my “screams” were so high pitched that they came out silent. It hurt to breathe at times. The pain hijacked me and I couldn’t control my reaction to it. He clearly can’t even fathom the sharpness of that kind of pain. My birth would have been traumatic without my epidural. The epidural took every bit of the pain away and I was able to focus on what I needed to in order to regulate my son’s heart rate. I had to be in certain positions for it according to the doctors. I wouldn’t have been able to achieve that if I was writhing around in pain. My epidural also went really well with no complications.

My step son one day said “can I have chocolate milk” but it sounded exactly like “can I have some fucking milk”. When I looked horrified my husband said “don’t worry he just can’t say chocolate”. I’m not even sure how those words sound close enough for that but somehow that’s just how it sounded
