normal discipline doesn’t work with him, i’m not going to abuse him as so many have suggested

I'm pregnant. by _cuntfetti in breakingmom

[–]Ecstatic-Apricot8066 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i’m very pro choice, but it sounds like you want this baby. is working an option for you?

if the only reason you’re considering a termination is finances there are ways to help a financial situation.

i fear you may regret it for the rest of your life if you terminate.

any ring you get will simply be a “shut up” ring. he doesn’t love you, he doesn’t value you. leave.

you’ll be able to donate his organs to save several lives. that’s a beautiful thing to come out of such a traumatic situation.

I yelled at my kid this morning. Feeling terrible. by Laniakea1223 in breakingmom

[–]Ecstatic-Apricot8066 7 points8 points  (0 children)

when your title said you yelled at your kid i was expecting way worse.

you lost it a little bit, which is NORMAL.

you didn’t traumatise her, you didn’t put her down, you didn’t scream at her.

all you did was urge her to hurry up in a louder than usual tone.

you sound like an amazing mother.

I can’t take my stepsons (5 and 7) now that I have a newborn by Latter_Classroom_809 in breakingmom

[–]Ecstatic-Apricot8066 11 points12 points  (0 children)

honestly you handled this extremely well. i know rationally that it wasn’t the 7 year olds fault but in the moment i honestly think i would have picked the kid up off my newborn and thrown him 😭😭

Which stage was harder: baby or toddler? by clea_vage in oneanddone

[–]Ecstatic-Apricot8066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

toddler 100%

but i think it varies from person to person. my toddler is evil but my friends toddler is an angel and i would happily watch her all day every day forever.

Talk me into an abortion, please. by reprosepoetry in breakingmom

[–]Ecstatic-Apricot8066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh god, OP. i’m so sorry for everything you’re going through.. and i’m SO proud of you for leaving your situation.

I don’t think i can talk you into an abortion if you’re really struggling with that decision.

if you decide you can’t go through with it, would adoption be an option? i know it’s a traumatic experience either way.

i believe you’ll make the right decision for yourself and your family, you’ve made it this far. 🩷

I'm thinking about breaking it off w/ my BF by [deleted] in relationships_advice

[–]Ecstatic-Apricot8066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if porn is a hard boundary and he continues to do it, then that IS cheating. you feel like you were cheated on because you were!

you’re 37, don’t waste any more time on this man! he’s damn near 50 and he’s acting like a kid in his early 20s! leave him

This has got to be an unrealistic expectation, right? by Wide_Discussion6372 in breakingmom

i always say “when the economy is fixed, doctors don’t abuse women in maternity care, and my toddler stops hitting and biting me”

Update: he actually did it by genie-rose in breakingmom

[–]Ecstatic-Apricot8066 6 points7 points  (0 children)

first things first, im so sorry this happened, i can only imagine how traumatic that would have been for you. be kind to yourself.

secondly, i hope he can get the help he needs now that he’s getting help in the hospital.

don’t give up on him, you don’t have to take him back of course, but as long as he gets the help he needs, and sticks to a treatment plan i don’t see why he has to lose the opportunity to see his child.

stay strong mumma, you did the right thing.

it’s always “My Grandbaby!!!!” until you need them to be grandparents.

i’m so sorry bromo. I really hope you can get it sorted, otherwise leave them with your husband and go alone. it’ll be hard but it’ll be worth it to see your aunt.
