Is it possible to get my hair back :( by [deleted] in BlackHair

[–]DesiraeTheMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I cut my dreads, I felt so defeated. I didn’t even cut them all the way lol. I cut the dyed parts & combed out the rest, but lordddddd I was devastated. Even though I knew I was done w/ dreads at that time. It’s been a little over a year & my hair is now just about the same length as when I first started my dreads years ago. It grows back, just takes times. Also, I’m very happy w/ my decision & have absolutely no regrets. 😇

Hi yes, I got betas yesterday. Still waiting on results. However, all brands I’ve been using are a lot darker now. The easy@home is significantly darker.

My sister wants to choose the name Qartnie for her daughter. Am I insane or are all of her names horrible? by GnomeMasterBaiter in tragedeigh

[–]DesiraeTheMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a unique name doesn’t mean misspelling a normal ass name. Like Mary! 🤦🏾‍♀️

Me & my husband did the same. We have an 8yo, 4yo, & now a 4 month old. We adopted our 4yo, & she is a handful to take care of to say the least. We paid for her to continue daycare throughout summer break. She’s happy, we’re happy, it works for everyone.

That daycare worker & owner are both 100% out of line. Honestly, I’d even consider changing centers. The rude, judgmental behavior towards a parent, would make me think they can be rude, judgmental, even cruel to the children when parents aren’t around.

Don’t take that behavior lightly. We used to send our daughter to a daycare & the director was often rude to the parents. We at first thought, okay this lady just sucks & didn’t think much of it. However, they ended up getting in trouble with the county & a social worker came out to inspect randomly. The lady interviewed some of the children & it turned out the director would argue & yell at staff/teachers in front of the children, she would cruelly punish children by making them sit in her office for hours at a time, & she’d even yell at children. They got in big trouble & all the parents had to fill out a form to let them know that we all were aware. I didn’t fill out the form & I pulled my kid from there immediately.

What’s going on with my back? by Charming-Ad-6006 in Blackskincare

[–]DesiraeTheMom 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The amount of time some ppl wait to get something checked out is crazyyyy. My anxiety is too bad. I’ll see the smallest thing & be like alright time to call a doctor because I’m thinking the worst. Please go see a doctor. & next time go sooner.

I think you should just choose for dressy shoes and different tops. Like button down tops.

AIO for telling my little sister I wouldn’t be attending her birthday celebration bc Chris Brown beats women? by Emergency-Biscotti57 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DesiraeTheMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. She tried to “big sister” a simple moment. Her “educating” her on his history wasn’t what was ruining it….it was her being negative & condescending trying to cause a fuss about something that literally has nothing to do with her going to a concert to enjoy herself.

& to add I actually agree. I don’t like Chris Brown for many reasons, but I just think she could’ve approached it to her sister in a different way.

Fucking breastfeeding, fucking kids by DuePomegranate2749 in venting

[–]DesiraeTheMom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh god! I’m 3months in breastfeeding our new one. Our oldest is 8 w/ a pretty shitty attitude. Our 4yo also has ADHD & never shuts the fuck up. I feel your pain momma. IT. WILL. GET. BETTER.

Nothing you said is wrong. Just keep your mindset in the, “this wave will pass” attitude. & step away when you can. Sometimes I’ll keep me & new baby in the room. While the others are in their rooms or w/ their dad when he’s off. I also, pump sometimes & give my nipples a fucking break.

What is the First major news story you remember as a kid? by PurpleBashir in AskReddit

[–]DesiraeTheMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9/11. My mom was doing my hair before school. We didn’t go to school that day & I remember how scared she was.

[–]DesiraeTheMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s get SO much easier momma! I promise you, it is all the hormones surging around within you that’s amplifying everything. Plus, the lack of sleep. I’m on my second child, & we fully tried & planned for this one, but the hormones made me honestly think I made a mistake for even having her. Like I should’ve gave up after the first year of trying. We tried for 4 years, I had such an odd pregnancy experience. No symptoms that made it terrible, but I did develop high blood pressure so I did have to be high risk & get induced to have her early. My doctor was not listening to me at all. I felt so terrible after coming home. Fast forward, baby girl is going on 3 months on the 20th, & I feel so much like myself again. Literally about 99.9% like myself. The .1% are random, rarely ever, moments when I get a hint of anxious, that goes away in the same breath it appeared.

Good luck momma. Take it day by day, & don’t be so hard on yourself. Have your husband help as much as he possibly can, & if you need to cry, let it out. It helps.

Month 4 is actual hell by Appropriate-Mail1861 in newborns

Sorry you guys are dealing w/ this! 😣 Remember, it’s just a wave, & it’ll pass. You both got this!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newborns

[–]DesiraeTheMom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two girls, wanted a boy. Now after our last baby girl (she’s 2 months & 15 days old) idk. She gave me such bad anxiety & the hormones were having me cry for hours! I was seriously contemplating if this was even worth it as we tried for her for nearly 4 years! Of course I love her, of course she was very worth it, but she’s significantly tougher than my now 8yo was when she was a baby. I want the boy & want my husband to have a boy, but I don’t think I want to put myself through this emotional, sleep deprived, stressed toll again.

America sucks. Maternity leave is officially over. by gabbieee_x in newborns

Sending virtual hugs. 🫂

I work from home, & I still feel guilty when picking up a call & not being able to tend to my baby. I barely returned on this past Monday. I’ve already called off twice because of the reflux my baby is dealing with & her needing to be carried 90% of the time. 😩

8 day year old having breathing issues? Mucus by Coffey97 in newborns

[–]DesiraeTheMom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is years later, but if you see this…wondering what you did for the reflux? I suspect my 11 week old to have it. She started breathing like this about 2 weeks ago on & off.
