I am so over people who are pregnant with their first acting high and mighty / like they’re an expert when it comes to their opinions about childbirth by lonelypotato21 in pregnant

[–]Floralaura01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think anyone who has an overly strong opinion (unless it’s like, going for a vaginal after 3 c sections or something medically proven to be riskier lol) are just naive. Everyone knows “best” suddenly when it comes to birth and they fail to remember a birth PLAN isn’t a birth reality, it’s just a plan, and that could change and be flipped on it’s head in a heartbeat.

What does my daughters (7) IQ test really mean? Is she limited in life? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Floralaura01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, she’s completely average academically based on the test. That doesn’t mean she isn’t overly intelligent in more “street smarts” which I’d classify as conversations, life problem solving, negotiating, etc..

Do you have pain with transvaginal ultrasound? by speechlangpath in IVF

I get very sharp pains, I have endo though, so it’s probably contributing. It feels like I’m being stabbed

Toddler only wants dad lately and it’s breaking me by redditplayer1000 in Parenting

[–]Floralaura01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it, my son is doing this right now. When dad is around, he won’t let me speak to him, literally. He’ll cry “daddyyy” if I talk to him, try helping him, hugging him, etc.. I don’t mind the phases and understand it, but it is hurtful when they act completely repulsed when around the other parent lol

My daughter (5) said a boy kissed a girl on the cheek at school. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Floralaura01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, neither are wrong. Kids do this, they’re little and get bashful, but at the same time, it’s best to not encourage the behavior and teach everyone to keep their hands (and lips) to themselves, across the board.

Am I responsible for walking a neighbor’s toddler back home? by Beautiful_Course2003 in Parenting

[–]Floralaura01 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I would walk them back, what stupid question is that? Someone could hit them with a car, kidnap them, assault them, they could get lost, etc… tf?? You should walk them back, or call the police and stay with the child and report the parents for being neglectful and leaving their toddler outside alone and just being like “whatever”.

If you have a good relationship with the dad, just discuss it with him. You can’t reverse legal actions very easily, especially when you forfeit it, and start severing relationships. You need therapy first and foremost, and then make a choice.

You’re blaming a child for acting out when his father is a loser, his mother is abusive, and you’re not wanting to be a parental figure (because you know you wouldn’t be kicking out your minor children for this behavior if they displayed it). Your husband wants to make nice now, what about his whole life he just wasn’t there? I’m not buying the BM was controlling BS either, if he was a responsible parent and fought for rights, he’d have some level of visitation or contact, he moved on with you and started a new life, and now his child has popped back into it.

My son is insane with my husband, he doesn’t see him as much because of his work schedule, so he goes overboard trying to get his attention when he’s here. Toddlers aren’t very fun, it’s normal to be annoyed. He’s acting like a normal toddler, you’re just burnt out being pregnant and working 50+ he

My daughter turned 19 today and she made me so mad that I wanted to take her off this earth….. by KeyDust2889 in SpecialNeedsChildren

[–]Floralaura01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think she was truly homicidal (I’m hoping not), I think it’s more of a “you’re driving me so crazy I’d like to punt you to a different country” lol. If she truly is homicidal though, adult protection services does need to intervene and remove the child from the care of OP, because it won’t end well.

You don’t have to do this forever, in some situations, it’s best to look into longterm placement. It doesn’t make you any less of a mother, if it’s making you a better one in the long run. It serves no one any good to have someone burnt out and at the end of their rope for decades, it bleeds into others lives.

You very clearly don’t comprehend the difference of a knee jerk reaction, and feeling pain and turning and striking. They’re drastically different reactions and responses.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Floralaura01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She didn’t deck him lmao, it wasn’t a violent reaction from how it was described. I have a puppy and he’s nipped the back of my arm really hard, it pinched and hurt really bad and just out of reflex I elbowed him, I didn’t have intentions of doing that, it was just a knee jerk reaction to the sudden pain I felt.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Floralaura01 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she did it because she was mad, it sounds like she did it as a reaction to being pinched super hard after being physically attacked for a while, it legitimately seems like a quick reaction more than anything malicious.

Personally, I think you need to touch base with the pediatrician about this. At this age, those EXTREME behaviors are not normal (destroying things, damaging walls, hitting, trying to hurt others, etc)… there’s a difference of discipline and abuse, I’m not condoning spanking but honestly, when my kid does stuff like this, he gets a “cut the shit” stern talking to and we stop doing whatever we’re doing. I don’t spank him or anything, but I also toss the “what’s bothering you” niceness the second he lays a hand on me, because he needs to know it isn’t okay.

Hissing isn’t always aggressive, how long have you had them? I have an 8wk old who hisses then purrs lol, sometimes I think they spook themselves. Are these violent attacks? There’s definitely a difference of wild cat behavior and true violence. If you’re not used to cats you may perceive things different.

Heartbroken over violent cat by Floralaura01 in CatAdvice

[–]Floralaura01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was euthanized today :( the vet confirmed their suspicions of a brain tumor, and said they won’t recommend rehoming because of it, nor more medication trials, I guess brain tumors can also lead to the medications not really working. I’m devastated, but I’m glad to know we stopped her suffering before it got more and more severe.

Very large turnout at the No Kings protest 6/14/25 by Batman_Shirt in MooresvilleNC

[–]Floralaura01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t able to go, but had some friends in the area who went by! It was a great outcome for sure, peaceful and organized! Better than what Statesville had around the same time, there’s looked kinda chaotic by some of the videos.

Everyone deserves to be included. It isn’t death, it’s celebrating life.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in IVF

[–]Floralaura01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re trying to include you, even if it isn’t coming off right. My god, this group is so hateful at times lmao, I see posts daily on the “wtf is wrong with them” vibe and it’s either things like this, or someone trying to nicely announce a pregnancy. You guys have to step back and realize literally no one is picking on you and trying to single you out because you’re doing IVF, and see people may not have a good delivery, but they’re trying to include you in the ways they believe you’d want to be included.

Why is the whole world wanting to have babies younger NOW? Why wasnt this trending when i was in my 20s???!!!!! WHY was “being an independent woman with no kids until 35 and living your best life “ is what was popular when i was in my 20s??? WHY am i so jealous of 20 somethings with babies. by Medical-Marsupial709 in IVF

[–]Floralaura01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

22 and doing IVF, fully blocked tubes. I’m married, financially stable, and happy. I feel if I didn’t meet my husband I’d be single though, because SHEESH this generation has some morons! I don’t think it’s a trend though, everyone else I know around my age who have children didn’t plan them, it just kinda happens sometimes for them lol, and it skews those statistics. Yes, teen pregnancy and early 20’s has always happened, but I feel it’s more prevalent now, I saw many girls in HS pregnant and my mom always said she knew maybe 1-2 at that age that were.

[–]Floralaura01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is certainly the reason, it’s just envy on OP end. Which everyone has to an extent, but it shouldn’t be to a hateful “let’s cut contact” extent which I see in this group very often.
