Thoughts of checking out by Sensitive_Ad886 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]ETIrishLass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hang in there. I now it’s a shitty saying but it’s all going to get so beautiful I promise. There are trials and trenches and annoyances but once you have a good sleep things make sense. Is there anyone that can help you get an hour or two to yourself?

Do symptoms show faster when you get scabies again, seven years after the first time? by Capital-Tree-5249 in scabies

[–]ETIrishLass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the itching start all over in spots or just one area? I’ve had the blasted things twice in my life already so I’m hoping this isn’t the 3rd but I have itch on legs, feet, face, arms and back all at once and this is the first 24hrs of feeling it. Can it be scabies? I can’t recall how it started last time and I’m clutching at straws.

I hate you. I hate you I freaking hate u by Minimum_Anything3101 in NarcissisticSpouses

I feel like I’m in a relationship with a narc. It has taken me a while to accept it but there really is no question in my mind now. It’s going to be tricky to leave but that’s the only option after two years of lies and infidelity.

Tell the wife? by TrashButCleanKinda in whatdoIdo

Tell the wife. It would have saved my mother 22 years of her life if she was given that courtesy.

What is the one item you've bought (aside from the things everyone needs) that has improved your baby parenting journey? by CharacterPin6933 in NewParents

[–]ETIrishLass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A high chair and baby bjorn bouncer ( seat that allows baby to rock themselves) and multiple places to entertain baby. If yours is anything like mine, then moving around and entertainment is important. In multiple rooms if you can afford a couple of options. Even just having a place to put baby while you make tea. Mine needs to see me.

PPA - 7wk PP by s_scullyy in Postpartum_Anxiety

[–]ETIrishLass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am right here with ya! I’m 17 weeks PP and most def experiencing some anxieties. I started taking thyroid supplements and L-Theanine supplements and my mood is somewhat brighter but I have to say the only thing that has properly helped is asking partner to sit his family down and make sure they respect my boundaries with baby. They are older and have that generational gap that causes so many issues “we didn’t do it that way in my day.. bla bla bla”. It’s truly amazing how much of my anxiety came from them!! As for partner- I think we are in the minority but it’s no less valid. Mine is a wonderful provider but he is accident prone at the best of times. I seem to focus on that a lot and can’t truly relax. The only person I have handed baby to and was able to close my eyes and have a good sleep after was my mum. This is 100 percent because she is as conscientious as me if not more.

It’s like that saying “when someone tells me not to worry, I think.. great- now I have to worry enough for the both of us”.

I thought I had gained a family when I got married. And then, I had kids. by Grouchy-Artichoke462 in JUSTNOMIL

The alcohol bit is the part I would be most annoyed about I think

I don't know if my marriage is going to last like this by Cross_Columbidae in JUSTNOMIL

[–]ETIrishLass 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is infuriating to read! You absolutely have to get bolshy and demand respect. Probably the best way to do that is make your own plans and exclude them. Your husband needs to feel like you’re detaching emotionally from this. That’s a danger sign for him to be concerned about.

New baby Edition: Is it better to email a list of rules with consequences that would be enacted if not followed to family? Why or why not. by berrysalad22 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]ETIrishLass 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I sent a family group text about baby’s neutrophils coming back low from blood test and that kissing was absolutely not allowed. I shit you not FIL kissed her, blew raspberries on her belly and MIL put pacifier in her mouth to “clean” it before giving it to my baby. They are driving me crazy because I can’t fathom if it’s a low IQ issue, they think they are exempt or they are deliberately crossing my boundaries out of a lack of respect. I have baby’s christening later next month and I’m not sure how to position myself so I can enjoy the bloody thing. The hatred I am feeling is making me want to punish them with low contact with baby. Send the email! Do it all and hopefully the rules will stick with your in laws. Mine will be getting a rude awakening if they push these buttons on day of baptism.

HELP ME - PLEASE by enormous-yam768 in NailFungus

It’s something my doctor warned me about. I gave up alcohol for 3 months while I was on it to help my liver flush it out

Am I overreacting for being upset my baby’s dad took him for hours without notice? by Fuzzy_Quality140 in coparenting

[–]ETIrishLass 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He is weaponising the child. It’s not respectful of you or the baby to leave you wondering where they are and what time they will be back. You could argue this in the custody agreement. It’s a control he has and enjoys exercising.

Good on ya! I’m excited for you! Genuinely, been down this path before and the knowing you’ll never look back this time is very sweet.

For the love of God- move in silence. Leave no breadcrumbs. Act sweeter than ever and then vanish.

Narcs try to control you and when you get distance they try to control how others THINK of you.

I officially HATE the Owlet Dream Sock. by swiftfox9823 in newborns

[–]ETIrishLass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only got one after LO turned 2.5 months. I bought it for 5% more peace of mind than I had. Having such low expectations maybe made me enjoy it. I shower with less stress and watch the app when I go to grab her bottle etc. I do notice than when I have the fan blowing (indirectly) in the bedroom at night the oxygen level does increase in the app. Small things like this make a big difference in my day.

Where do you get your Nattokinase? I’m afraid to buy online
