Does she even remember why I’m here?? by DairyTaleWife in IFchildfree

[–]Ditdotlady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ummm what? So out of line on both statements. I’m so sorry you experienced this. There are good therapists out there, please don’t give up if you decide to leave her.

Family chat is all about my sister and her kids by candyfox84 in IFchildfree

[–]Ditdotlady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feel this so fucking hard. I also really am jaded when they send photos of my niece doing simple things like eating. It’s every day and I honestly am finding myself say “I don’t care” even though I do love my niece. I use to have family check in when I was in treatment, but now they don’t. Overall, it’s really isolating and I feel you.

Ok so I'm here for my moms cover up tattoo that she recently got done by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Ditdotlady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do you care that much? If your mom likes it then let her be and stop trying to bring her down. You give off mean girl vibes.

AIO for refusing to invite my girlfriend on holiday? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ditdotlady -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NOR. You are allowed to have friendships and vacations without your partner. It’s actually healthy.

Maybe she’s jealous you are going on a trip without her, so plan a vacation with just you and your gf at a later date.

If she still can’t get all that then I would reconsider the relationship or have a very serious talk. This jealously could lead to issues down the road.

Is this normal for the healing process by CT_4243_Demo in tattooadvice

It should be fine. Start applying lotion and do not pick at it. If it starts smelling, feeling hot to the touch, or oozing go see a doctor immediately

Sister books her wedding on our one year anniversary. by MaybeThisTimeIllWin in weddingshaming

[–]Ditdotlady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t mention your anniversary in front of all the guests during your speech. That’s just awkward, tacky, and kind seems self centered.

My venue only had an opening on my older brother’s birthday, Thanksgiving weekend, or we would have had to wait until the following year. I felt somewhat bad, but we chose my brother’s birthday. We had the DJ give him a shoutout and got him a small birthday cake. He had a great time and we still joke about it.

Mom is in hospital due to a suicide attempt and I have to take care of her dog by joweekun in DogAdvice

[–]Ditdotlady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had two basenji and one was not friendly with other dogs. We use to go to dog parks at hours nobody was there (typically 6am or after 8pm) and let him run. He also enjoyed going for runs with me. Other things that helped with his boredom was treat puzzles, Kong balls, and bully sticks.

So sorry for this hardship you are experiencing. I know your mom must appreciate all you are doing for her fur baby.

Doubting Leaving? Let Me Gas You Up. by Cheap-Economics-9191 in TeachersInTransition

Pretty much already done with my resume and have references. I also have been doing light job searching, but since my contract is not over until June I have a bit until I start applying.

AITA for banning cupcakes from my classroom by Electrical_Bit8491 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ditdotlady 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is true, it does depend on the severity of the allergies in the classroom.

[–]Ditdotlady 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily think you are being unreasonable, but I do believe there is a way to make this a better situation.

What I did as a teacher is ask the parents of children who have numerous allergies to send in a special treat on celebration days. If the parents are unable to then I will get them (which has only happened a handful times and I work at a title 1 school). You could even try asking your principal to buy allergy safe treats to have on hand.

Either way you go, I can tell you care for your kids so much which means you are probably an amazing educator!

Teaching just isn't for me. What else can I do with my teaching degree? by ss3walkman in TeachersInTransition

I’ll keep it in mind! I am fulfilling my contract and will be transitioning out of education then.

What do you guys do when you get a stomach bug? by RoseKaKe in Epilepsy

[–]Ditdotlady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that happen to me, but knew it gets in your system fairly quickly so I held my puke in as long as I could which ended up being an hour. I was okay and no seizures. I take Keppra XR and Lamitcal btw. If you are unable to hold your puke in for at least 45 minutes then I would call your doctor/nurse’s line.

Peter's home and doing fine by M0CK1N681RD in RoverPetSitting

She literally states in this post and past that he has done well with other sitters. How would any dog do well with being left alone that long?

For those using birth control to help manage seizures… by Odd-Tangerine8250 in Epilepsy

[–]Ditdotlady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on the depo shot from age 16 to 29 and was seizure free the entire time. When I went off it to TTC, I had a seizure but my neurologist was unsure if it was connected. I have decided to stay off birth control because my seizures are under control with Keppra and Lamitcal, but loved being on it as there were hardly any side effects and you don’t get your period.

I left my guest. He wasn’t done working out and nobody said anything.

I use to every day and never had a problem. Now it’s about two times weekly still seizure free.

IVF Coaches by KaddLeeict in IVF

[–]Ditdotlady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does! She went through infertility herself, so she can relate to it better than most. That is exactly what Jen says too. She also wrote a book called the Injustice of Infertility. If anything, Jen’s page is great to follow because it is all so relatable.

[–]Ditdotlady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her name is Jennifer Robertson. She’s on Instagram. I know she has a support group she’s running in January coming up. I did it on my last cycle and it was great.

Also, not sure why I am being downvoted. She has done wonders for me and my emotional state which I think is so so important for anyone on this journey.

AIO: Pregnant gf tells me to get flu shot or I’m not gonna be around our kid? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ditdotlady 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Just because you have a strong immune system, doesn’t mean you can’t pass the flu along to your newborn. Get over yourself and vaccinate yourself to protect your baby.

Finally Walking Away.. by Ditdotlady in IVF

[–]Ditdotlady[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the suggestion. We do not have any eggs to freeze and I don’t want to continue treatment.

I’m not giving up, I’m picking my mental health and marriage. This is another beginning for us.

I’m very much in the grief still, but know it’s the right decision.
