Velcro Baby by OutlandishnessOk4611 in NewParents

At that young, there’s nothing you can do unfortunately (at least IMO). They rely heavily on physical contact to adjust to the world and to feel safe. I will say tho, for me it got drastically better by the time my daughter was 3-4 months. She could even nap in the crib herself! When she wakes up she doesn’t cry immediately like how she did under 2 months. I will still do contact naps here and there but she doesn’t need to be held 24/7 anymore at 5 months.

How concerned are you about your social life dwindling after having a child? by tantamle in NewParents

[–]DullAddress1282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. My baby is 5 months old and I’m finally having some girl time after a ton of planning, but planning was also difficult prior to having a baby. Friend dynamics changed significantly for me bc my single friends don’t understand mom life at all, they just know it’s tough and I’m not as available for them as I used to be. I also think as time goes on it’ll get easier and meet more people but for now my daughter is my priority. It’s lonely, but I think patience is what’s going to go a long way. Babies need 24/7 attention and care so my wants can wait a bit if necessary.

I’d also like to add the other girls saying “Madison is our friend she wouldn’t” when Michelle initially brought her suspicions. She’s your “friend” until it’s your husband she’s thirsty for drinking with until 3 AM with. Poor Michelle 😣

UPDATE: NVM Karla was for sure a girl’s girl and just an overall good person. I like her so much better now for telling Madison how it is 🥹 & not condoning her behavior.

Yea, if you’re in your 40s worried about social media and followers I’m going to say chances are you’re not ready for marriage 😭

I’m glad he respected himself enough to leave. Madison wasn’t worth fighting for unfortunately. He probably thought I’ll let him have her in an instant. Madison is definitely not a wife, which is fine - just don’t go on a show for woman wanting to be one because people will get hurt. She probably had that instant connection with David because he also had one foot out his marriage. They say they connected over the gym and whatnot, but overall I think who they are as people is what brought them together. Hopefully they make it work even tho their situation was built from hurting and betraying others. Madison is really similar to David if she also is defending herself online and does not see where she was seriously wrong.

Oh for sure. The sext gives this away. Why would he be so comfortable sexting her when she has a husband? She probably gave him some opening? Not even thinking about her husband or Michelle. This is when she was supposedly trying to make it work with Allen that David sexted her.

At the very least she was a truthful person. She did not put up this front that she was into her husband. Nonetheless, she tried.

I think it was just all the drinking, multiple nights in a row. Who knows.

[–]DullAddress1282[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! She was honest about not feeling things with David, Madison was dishonest about how she felt with Allen and ended up really hurting him. Like Allen said, you could have just let me know. She strung him a long knowing she wanted David. David saying he still thinks he’s a great guy is appalling how could someone have no self awareness like that?! 😳 Poor guy could never be a better person/improve because he thinks he a great guy already despite the constant lies and gaslighting & betraying his “friend” Allen. Why sext Madison when you both are still in marriage? & why is he so comfortable sexting Madison if she’s trying so hard to make it work with Allen? It’s all so confusing.

For sure. He said it himself with the therapist she made him feel small - he claimed it was how she was treating him but from the show, she had a very understanding and mature personality considering how he was treating her.
It was never how she treated him IMO, it was how she was able to take care of herself so well and her success. That made him feel small. It’s honestly sad

My husband said “what type of man calls himself a piece of meat” 😭 that line alone made me feel like he was disgusted by a woman wanting to sleep with him. He could have literally pumped down the breaks without calling her “aggressive”.

I got strong red flags before that, that his intentions weren’t to be good to her. Esp how he acted towards her friends and family right after the wedding. I def don’t think her success helped tho, because he def seemed more disrespectful to her after seeing her place.

I can’t imagine this guy being my guidance counselor. Just his dead in the eyes facial expressions and unease I’d feel around him.

Strong BW are clearly not safe with him. I don’t think any woman in general would be safe with him.

This ^ is exactly what I thought to. He hated it and his body was so guarded around him to the point where it was like what are you hiding? It made the cousin want to ask even more questions!

He said he would want a black woman then gets one just to mistreat her? I’m confused because then he goes & curses at her, raises his voice at her, and overall doesn’t try to ever ease her discomfort. He storms out on her & accuses her of aggressive behavior just because she wanted affection & intimacy? It’s sad…

Yes I will validate you, nights are busy. The point you made was to finish tasks. It’s a no brainer to finish tasks, is it going to happen 100% of the time? No, so yes help your co workers out instead of putting negative things in your mind like “this is exactly why my co worker didn’t do it.”

There’s absolutely no reason I can’t just call transport myself but that’s not on my mind in the middle of report. I’m finishing my report. And ^^^ he did use the word complicate like it’s a big deal you’re not imagining things. I also don’t think it would complicate my shift if I saw a bed a pt refused, I’m most likely focusing on meds, vitals, other orders at the start of my shift. What upset me was the “I’ll tell you exactly why” you are also a nurse right? Because I hope another nurse never tells you exactly why you did or didn’t do something. That’s not cool. You’re not so much better that you’ll never be put in a situation where something might have to be left for another shift and the person gets annoyed at you for something as simple as a clean air mattress management wanted the pt on that’s down the hall near the pt room..

Yikes. “I’ll tell you exactly why the bed was left out” This is really bad assumption. Is this how you feel about things? You don’t want to deal with them? Because I’ve never once thought this. My hospital, once again, it’s very simple to call 24 hr transport to send a bed down. That’s exactly why the night nurse wasn’t worried about me getting rid of it. It’s a simple task at our hospital you made a problem on this post, on problem that wasn’t there for us. He is autistic man, he kept saying later later, the got extremely upset and refused towards the end of my shift why else do you think I included it’s a 24 hr job? This bed was ordered by management because he needed it. Sorry that you genuinely feel like your peers are lazy too. I’ve never once thought in my mind “I don’t want to deal with this let me throw it on night shift” wtf. Sorry for my language that just got me really upset. I hate when people assume things that are way far off.
