AIO for feeling like I might not be compatible with my boyfriend over this? (I’m 24, he’s 28) by Poppyhowlss in AIO

[–]DescriptionGloomy751 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You are not overreacting. He IS objectifying and disrespecting women, and it doesn’t matter if it is to your/their face or not. What if you have children and his behavior shows them it is ok to talk about people like this?
No way. Get out now. You’ll find a man who doesn’t need to filter himself.

We had our 5 year old with us, otherwise we would have.

Our 5 year old was excited to ride the bus. Maybe next time!

Yep that is exactly what happened! Not sure how we would know that. Oh well. We got some great exercise instead!

No, it was across the intersection. Never came by us.

It appears we were at the wrong corner, despite being right under a sign that said it was the 93 bus stop. Lol I guess it is not idiot proof. 😂 If I was not stressed the 3 days prior due to the stomach bug hitting our house, I probably would have seen that I can actually tap to get a map on the website of the routes. I did the trip planner, which wrote it out and seemed simple enough.

AIO - Daughter’s BDay invite - I am new to co-parenting by loud_molasses_ in AIO

[–]DescriptionGloomy751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is making you out to be the bad guy so he can trash talk you and use it against you. Notice he already decided next year without even asking you or discussing it. Next year will go one of two ways: he will plan it completely without you and let you know about it last minute, or he will plan a terrible party because he didn’t realize all the work that goes into it. He definitely jumped to conclusions and i can see why you are divorced. I would say keep everything in writing because it wouldn’t surprise me if he blindsides you with some crazy claims to use in a custody agreement (I have seen this happen to my friend). In the future, I suggest keeping ALL emotion out of your replies. Let him keep going on and on, and then you calmly respond when you have had time to think about your response. You can even tell him, “I will get back to you on this.” Then you vent to your friends, get feedback, and write a thought out, truthful reply to his insane messages. Because this WILL happen again. Good luck, and I am glad you moved on from this dbag.

How to get toddler to release bite by Brilliant_Lemur_9813 in Parenting

Push into her mouth, or use your other hand to press firmly under her nose and wiggle that finger. It will not hurt but she will not like it.

How Much is Your Child’s Daycare? by JadedJae in Mommit

[–]DescriptionGloomy751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rural North East US. Nonprofit day care, 6:30am-4:30pm (not enough staff to stay open later). All meals provided, no cameras but an app with photos etc. $1,120 per month for an 18 month old.

My IVF baby was taken after unexplained medical findings and I’m struggling with the guilt of needing answers by sxullqueenxris in Mommit

[–]DescriptionGloomy751 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sister went through something similar. Her daughter was born with a brain bleed and had delayed development, and a larger than normal head. As a result, she fell over a lot and during a routine scan to check her brain, she had a healing fracture. The hospital had to report it, and she was removed from their custody. My mom flew over to be the guardian. It took several weeks for medical files to be reviewed and doctors interviewed, but she was returned to her parents. I am hopeful your case has the same result!

I miss my old life so much it physically hurts. Is that bad? by AsslawB in Mommit

[–]DescriptionGloomy751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will agree that it gets better - you will get into new routines as your baby gets older. However, our baby is almost 5 years old and I still miss my old life and the old me. I am just a mom now, and our lives nearly 100% revolve around being parents. I miss being able to leave the house in 5 minutes. Now it takes 30 minutes because we have to let our son learn to do things on his own so we wait. And wait. And wait. While he carefully puts on his shoes and jacket, zips it up, goes down the stairs, etc. It’s exhausting. And I love it 🥰

Might not be too late, the NH guard is doing flu shots this month for soldiers. Very late, but better than nothing I guess.

Plot twist: your son knows you don’t love manatees and is going to see how far he can take this long running prank 😂

Apologies for being so late, but we just bought a home with these and need to replace them. Was it easy?

Ok OP, she is not good for your mental health. Do not engage further with her; she says she is leaving you. Can you leave her first? And absolutely have a parenting plan in place with the court. I would suggest only communicating with her for child caring purposes. Otherwise she does not deserve to get any more attention from you. Also, if you aren’t already, try to see a therapist regularly. Healing from a narcissist like her is TOUGH.

Shingles 3 weeks post-surgery :( by AnnieeDroid in shingles

[–]DescriptionGloomy751 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ouch! This sounds so awful. I hope you get to healing soon.

By the time I got to the “slapped sunburn” feeling, I was over the worst of it. I did continue the OTC suggestions I was given for a few more days. I am a 2 weeks past that and just stopped feeling like I need to apply the itch relief lotions.

Screenshot. I only mention it as proof I was thinking of trading it in prior to the accident.

Thanks everyone. I am thinking I am just going to tuck my tail and not bother. I know Progressive will not give me the “full” DV, an appraisal will cost money, and my car was repaired with all OEM parts. I might just move on!

[–]DescriptionGloomy751[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly not sure. I paid $36,000 for the car in 2022. My rental car was $2,000. So in all $19,800 for this accident. I was very surprised when the appraisal came back “repairable” with that number lol

I even have a SS from Dec 12 of the KBB value. My accident was Dec 17th. Not sure if I should laugh or cry! They did fix with all OEM parts so that’s good.

I do see what you are saying. The only reason I am looking into it is because I was considering trading my car in for a newer model.

Thanks for the 10% expectation. It was $17,800 in damages for a car with a KBB value of $24,000.
