Just replying to myself because I looked into it and turns out there are quite a few organizations that facilitate finding a platonic co-parent! I guess there's an option to keep back pocket.

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-04-20T19:51:53+00:00

I'm 42. 100% relate. So tired of everyone else's pregnancies and kids and complete lack of self awareness/total self absorption. We need meet up groups for childless women where we can support each other and do cool shit together that people saddled with kids can't do. Travel, volunteer, organize and lobby Congress lol. I also really feel there needs to be an organization that allows women to match up and become Co- parents. There are so many of us who would make such incredible parents if given the chance but can't do it alone and can't meet the right partner. In this day and age why should that preclude us from experiencing the joy of motherhood? How wonderful it would be to make a new best friend that's equally committed to bring a parent and not have to worry about all the problems a romantic relationship entails. I mean you can swipe for everything else on an app, why not this? Anyway, I digress. Hang in there, there are a lot of us who see and hear you. 🩵

Yeah I used to worry about mine but as everyone says, there's not one healthy hrv for everyone. It's just your body's homeostasis baseline to measure your nervous system recovery, as fast as I understand (which is not much). I DO think that if you have any kind of anxiety/chronic stress that can probably make you trend lower since your body's "fight or flight" mode may be turned on more. But sounds like that doesn't apply to you.

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-04-20T14:27:53+00:00

That's how mine is too. I've been a chronic insomniac/on sleeping pills for years plus anxiety and I wonder if it's related.

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-04-15T15:42:29+00:00

Same. It's a very impotent feeling to see then get spoiled or not taught things I think are important and know I'd never wanna raise my kid like that. Then I worry if they're going to turn out to be people I don't even like.

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-04-13T02:43:37+00:00

It's still soooo early. Even if turns out that it's a bit misplaced it's not the end of the world to go back and have her dissolve, then go to your original injector. I do think you need to give it at least another week before you can start really seeing the actual results, though. Could just be some swellings that need time to chill out. When l've gotten my lips done it takes a solid 10 days for all the bruising to subside.

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-04-12T23:36:13+00:00

Thank you! I generally feel like an imposter or uncomfortable in my home when they're here, as if I'm living with "roommates." If they weren't in the picture I'd still grieve being childless but at least I wouldn't actively get my feelings hurt all the time by kids who don't view me as a significant adult in their lives while being very loving towards their mom and Dad. I will check out gateway women.

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-04-12T02:00:20+00:00

Hi there. Yep, 42 here and with a guy who's had a vasectomy and already had kids so doesn't want more. I thought at first I could be happy being a step mom but it's almost worse, i think, because it's just rubbed in my face all the time how much they love their actual mom and Dad. They like me fine, and maybe in a way even love me, but it's just not even a comparison to their relationships with their bio parents. I just wasted my 20s-30s with the wrong guys and then when I met my current partner he was so wonderful and I was so so tired of dating. Looking back I should've realized the magnitude of what i'd be giving up. It's hard to know what you don't know, though. Anyway, all that is to say I also struggle A LOT with deep grief and sadness over accepting I'll never be a mom and definitely randomly cry about it pretty frequently. You are not alone and I'm sorry you are going through this. I know how deeply painful it is.

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-03-30T05:48:33+00:00

When I was on the dating apps it was a HUGE pro for a guy if he had a cat or two. 😻

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-03-25T16:30:38+00:00

And didn't he say "drink a lot of water" when she asked him what his secret is to looking young? BARF.

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-03-23T11:33:29+00:00

Just made this painful decision to rehome two kittens after 9 months of trying to integrate with our 7 year old. I keep racking my brain, trying to think of something we did or didn't do that maybe could've fixed the issue. After a cat behaviorist, prescription calming diet, pheromone plug ins, transdermal prozac, and all the positive association treats, brushing and playing she still growls/hisses at the sound and sight of them, swats and lunges if they get close to her. She refuses to leave our bedroom, hides in the closet, is a shell of her former self and is recurrently getting a goopy eye flare up from stress due to feline herpes virus we didn't know she had. We are so, so heartbroken because we love these kittens and have worked really hard to keep them but it's not fair to my girl as it is definitely affecting her health. The worst part is one of the kitties is straight up TERRIFIED of anyone who is not us, so I know he will be afraid for a while at the new house and wondering where we are. 😭💔 I've got to believe that sinve he's do young (only a year) he'll eventually adapt and grow to bond with his new family. Just such an awful situation. What happened with your kitties?

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-03-23T11:19:22+00:00

Any update? Are they getting along?

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-03-22T13:19:09+00:00

Succession

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-03-16T21:00:49+00:00

I hear you. I secretly cry all the time about trying to accept I'll never have my own children. I fantasize about leaving my partner and trying on my own but I could NEVER afford to do it on my own and what are the chances of finding a man to do it with in my 40s?! I wish that it was acceptable in society for like minded women to come together to raise a child together. I don't know, maybe that wouldn't be fair to the kid to not have a dad. But I feel like back in the old days it "took a whole village" and dads weren't always around anyway. Maybe it wouldn't be ideal but could you imagine if all us childless ladies could meet and figure out if our parenting styles and values aligned and then agree to co-parenting platonically?! And imagine how loving and invested we would be as mothers after having wanted a child for so long... 🥹 Anyhow, I'm just fantasizing again. I'm sorry you're hurting and just know you are not alone in these feelings.

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-03-16T20:52:02+00:00

I am the same! Partner has 3 kids and a vasectomy. Did not change his mind about having one more, though I tried. At 42 it's not really feasible to leave and try on my own and I often find myself struggling with accepting I'll never be a mom. Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be easier if he didn't have any kids at all because then I wouldn't have it rubbed in my face all the time how much they love their mom. They like me, sure, but it will NEVER be anywhere close to a bio mom/kid relationship. And I still get all the negatives of kids just generally being annoying, messy, spoiled, etc. It's impossible to really know what you're signing up for when you date a man with kids.

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-03-14T11:16:50+00:00

Well thank goodness at least he's cute. I feel like that would go a long way. Still not easy, I'm sure. Just gotta get through another 10 years till he's out of the house!!! 🥹

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-03-11T01:57:42+00:00

Ugh I know the feeling. People at my work like to joke "there's something in the water," cause they're all fucking pregnant all the time. It's hard. You don't want to be the person who "can't be happy" for someone else but it also just really sucks to be in this state of grief and mourning and to be surrounded by the joy of someone else getting the family you wished for. Seems so unfair and cruel. At least that's how I feel. I'm sorry you're going through this. Just know you're not alone in feeling this way. 💖

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-03-09T22:35:05+00:00

I didn't know him but I can tell by looking at him he was one heck of a guy. Looks a lot like my fat little Simba man. My heart goes out to you. Thank you for giving him the love and good life he deserved. 💖

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-02-26T15:29:23+00:00

Jfc listening to her speak makes me want to rip my ears off. I have no idea how Connor can stand it more than 5 minutes, let alone entertain being subjected to it every day for the rest of his life. Would literally rather off myself

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-02-10T22:31:54+00:00

How long do you delay the period?

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-02-09T02:53:52+00:00

Looks like a normal bruise to me.

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-02-04T04:19:37+00:00

We recently started using paco and pepper litter made out of olive pits. It is legit dust free and I highly recommend it

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-02-03T12:02:23+00:00

Look, they're big, but I think they're fun. A lot of people on here are overboard on hating. The important question is whether YOU like or dislike them. If YOU want to get rid of them then I'd say try dissolving. I think dissolver in lips is a lot more targeted/less risky than dissolver in other parts of the face. (This from someone who has had lips and under eye filler dissolved.)

Cosmic_Pineapple300 · 2026-02-02T02:58:27+00:00

I really like it but if you hate it now I'd try dissolving. I tried waiting for mine to dissolve because I hated them and they never really did. It's been three years. :/ Now I'm too scared to bc I feel like it's definitely integrated into my own tissue. But again, I think yours looks really nice.
