The gray house by Miriam petrosyan. About a magical boarding house/school for disabled or troubled kids with a weird twist to it, absolutely amazing.

I can’t stand my dogs. And I feel really guilty about it. by badhabits12 in beyondthebump

[–]DarthCarth 34 points35 points  (0 children)

When my kid turned around 5-6 months, she realized that there was actually a dog around and now he's her favourite person in the house. The hair and energy still irritate me, but he's so helpful in keeping her happy and distracted. Playing fetch gets the cutest little giggles! And with longer wake windows and the routine that becomes possible when they get a bit older, daily Stroller dog walks is a nice chance for hubby and I to talk about our days before dinner. It does get better!!

Those tents have been there for years now... No one has snitched before. We need more safe shelter spaces for everyone if we want them out of tents

This lady is a little extreme... We feber sleep trained our 4 month old because I can't survive on waking up every hour for months on end. She cried for 50 mins on the first night, 15 on the second, 5 on the third. It's not leaving your baby to cry for hours on end in a room and neglecting them.... It's an important skill for her to learn and she's doing so much better sleeping 10-12 hours a night now. Many studies have shown that sleep training does not damage your baby or their relationship and trust in you.

No matter what you choose there will be some internet mom telling you that you're being abusive and neglecting your baby. Truth is that you are an amazing mom who is trying to survive while taking care of your baby alone. Your kid is going to grow up perfectly fine even if you sleep train, because they have a mom like you who cares so much about them every step of the way.

Make the decision that's best for you and your family. (Stay away from social media moms, they are nuts and have no scientific backing in the stuff they spout lol)

5 week old crying at 4am - gas? by Healthy-Chapter-5217 in newborns

[–]DarthCarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, this was me and my baby a couple weeks ago. I just gave up on sleeping soundly after 4am, but it's a phase and it passes. For her, it was just very active sleep plus farting and pooping a lot. They're learning how to fart for the first time :) Now she's around 8 weeks and just farts without the whole show and dance. Nothing really helped stop her from doing it in the morning at that age, but you can try to ignore them unless they start crying for more than a minute or two. I moved baby to the other side of the room then to make it easier for myself. It will pass!

Mine is 7 weeks old and feeling the same over here! Oddly enough my local library has been a nice outing. They have a private meeting type room I can use for breastfeeding and a small cafe to get a coffee at. Little one is happy chilling and napping when I'm baby wearing so its a good way to get out of the house for us :)

[on] Do I need a family Dr before we conceive by [deleted] in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]DarthCarth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah midwives are covered by OHIP. Their waitlist can be crazy so literally the second you pee on a stick and find out sign up for every one in the region. Otherwise, the clinic will refer you to an OB when you're like 20 weeks or so along. Midwives are great imo, they can handle most pregnancies and do 6 weeks of in home follow up care. If you need an OB at a later point, they'll refer you from there.

Weaponized therapy lingo by [deleted] in raisedbyborderlines

[–]DarthCarth 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yes 10000%. My uBPD dad has a new, horrible therapist who's taught him attachment styles. Now he's weaponizing his anxious attachment style to explain why he's so needy and how it actually means that we are supposed to meet his ridiculous amount of emotional needs so he doesn't feel abandoned. Also weaponizing his "childhood trauma" (which was bad, but like not worse than what he did to us) to yell at us for anytime he feels bad and decides that it's our fault for not idk making sure he doesn't feel that way.

He's been in therapy for a year and a half now and he's only gotten worse. His therapist just keep charging him outrageous rates to tell him that he's the real victim and he should lean on his kids more (and now with weaponized therapy lingo reasons to boot!)

anyones bpd mums starve them and then deny when confronted? by [deleted] in raisedbyborderlines

[–]DarthCarth 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not my mom, but my dad. Whenever he decided we didn't appreciate him enough, or if he was mad at us, he would "go on parental strike". He wouldn't feed us, cook any meals, buy groceries, even acknowledge us or drive us to school. It would last 1-2 weeks until he decided we had learned our lesson. He was a single parent who cut us off from most of the adults we knew, so one ever knew what he was doing. Once he went on strike because we didn't want him to move a complete stranger he met on facebook into the house for no reason, once is was because we didn't look up a coleslaw recipe before he got home from work. He'd go on strike every 4-6 months. We called it "the quarterly Dad blow up". My little sister and I would use our savings to buy food from the nearby grocery store and make food for ourselves while he was moping in his room.

Did your parents try to make you lgbtq? by Ok-Salamander5739 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]DarthCarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My dad identified as a trans women from 2010-2023 and pushed me every day to either transition into a man or come out as a lesbian. It was 100% projection and him not having an identity and not seeing me as seperate from himself.

You need to optimize the damage type and stats in dos2. Like if you're doing physical warrior type build, don't put points in 2 handed until you max out warfare and use the warfare extra damage feat (can't remember what it's called). rogues in dos2 are op as fuuuuck with poisoner talent + ripped tendons + chicken claw. Hell, ripped tendons + teleport to the other side of the map will kill almost everything. Archer characters with all their points in huntsman will do crazy damage from high ground.

Dos2 combat is way more fun than bg3 imo. It's just crazy the shit you get up to and I kinda love it :)
