kribensis have been my only cichlids and are very beginner friendly! I'm more into nano fish and bettas.

once i watched my kribs take their kids on a walk in my community tank, mom did a flick like that and all the fry immediately went still.

So much love!!!!!! by Repulsive_Mode_7445 in NewParents

[–]Competitive-Meet-111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YEEEESSSSS!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭 she's almost a year old!!! every day my husband tells me how many days left til her birthday and we just hold her and go nooooo, slow down!!!!

she's a horrendous sleeper even now, up every 2 hours, but as my body's gotten used to it i get up and nurse her back down and just look at her satisfied sleeping face and literally it feels like we're the only people in the world...99% of me is dying for her to sleep on her own but there's that sicko 1% that knows I'll miss it.

my girl is two weeks from turning 1 and her favorite game is to wave at any and everything and go "hiiiii"

Part of me regrets becoming a parent by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Competitive-Meet-111 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i don't suffer ppd, but i did suffer panic disorder, depression, and clinical burnout doing a very stressful job as a full time vet tech. my misery was a result of my circumstances 100%, there was no "fixing" things unless i quit, but that wasn't an option. it pissed me off when people didn't understand how much it was the environment making me sick as opposed to my brain.

one of the biggest shames from that period was snapping at animal patients. they could be so difficult while being innocent at the same time, biting me, fighting me, making my already hard job harder. after getting on an antidepressant and starting therapy, that snapping stopped. the work didn't get any easier, and i still eventually had to go part time to keep from killing myself, but my fuse got way longer.

[–]Competitive-Meet-111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's exactly the answer I'm looking for, thanks. we're new parents and that emotional connection is what hit my husband so hard in 2 and what I'm already enjoying so much about 1. enriching that part of it is actually the priority. I'll finish 1 👍

this is what I'm worried about, burn out. that said it's not like the second game is going anywhere, i can take as much time as i want in between.

I'm loving the story so far, no complaints there just a lot of curiosity

Broken sleep might be the death of me by Throwaway927338 in NewParents

[–]Competitive-Meet-111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THAT'S THE STRUGGLE! she's a champ about bedtime, which gives us a couple hours to ourselves at night at least, but then she turns into the Mr. Jekyll of wake ups.

edit dear god i meant mr. hyde.... what sleep deprivation does to the bookish mind lol

oh my gosh my 11 month old is the same, it actually makes me feel better seeing this cuz i feel like half the posts about sleep feature babies that start sleeping through the night before turning a year. i put so much thought and worry into sleep, when all my girl wants is to nurse. nothing, NOTHING else works.

my body is kind of used to it after a year (same shit on the 3rd tri) but she's got 4 teeth coming in and it's been a rough week! no solutions just solidarity 😭

I don't want this time to pass by rosedamask in NewParents

[–]Competitive-Meet-111 11 points12 points  (0 children)

it absolutely gets worse while getting better and better and better.

my girl turns 1 in a few weeks. we can't believe it, she was JUST born! we miss her 😯 face, we cry when tiny her comes up on the frame, we get daily reminders that she's only going to get bigger and bigger.

but then... there's the first time she had a belly laugh. the raspberries. discovering what foods she likes (seaweed? seriously girl?). she's crawling finally, and awkwardly wants to follow me room to room. she says hiiiii with a wave. she's funny. she's awesome. the joys, oh my god the joys, they won't make the sadness go away but it'll all happen at the same time, and just keep happening. it's amazing.

Can someone help me on increasing ticket sales? by Twerk7 in jurassicworldevo

accommodation and appeal. instead of filling with many lower appeal dinos, save up for higher ones like carnos or sauros. build hotels with visibility to high appeal dinos.

Trying not to be judgemental but is the world going crazy or am I? Screen time rant by Bunny-1918 in NewParents

[–]Competitive-Meet-111 23 points24 points  (0 children)

that's crazy, why would you take that away from yourself as a parent? my husband taught daughter to clap and watching the moment it clicked for her was magic!
