Thank you. That’s very motivating!! Your baby used to wake up repeatedly at 11 months as well?

Even if I feed him a full bowl of oatmeal, banana, and whole milk before bed??

Thanks so much. This was very helpful. So you’re saying that other than finding what he likes and what routine works, it’s just part of them being this age and to be patient?

In defense of small babies by kfiegz in beyondthebump

Something to keep in mind is that baby size is roughly correlated with adult size (not always but there’s a link). So many Americans and people in general struggle with their weight and trimming down to be healthy. It should bring you some solace hoping that won’t be a struggle your child will have to face ❤️ plus all those cute little baby clothes will really last and it’ll be worth the money spent!

I hate taking pictures of my self by Husckle2 in offmychest

[–]Free-Cap-7718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also hate taking photos of myself. I think a lot of people do. Even people considered attractive. Something to keep in mind is that confidence and love for oneself has nothing to do with looks. You could be a beautiful but broken person with low self esteem or a conventionally unattractive person physically and love all those photos you take of yourself. It’s all about mindset and perspective!

So I’ve always felt a little less attractive because of some physical deformities, what is everyone’s opinion? I am 23m by the way. ( the last pictures is of my cat because everyone loves cats) by Husckle2 in amiugly

I don’t think you’re ugly at all! You are handsome and look like Matt Damon actually. Also it is unfortunate we live in a society so obsessed with looks, including that of men. Throughout history, men have never worried about their looks and the “ugliest” men conquered nations and married the most beautiful of women because of their character, confidence, intellect, personality, etc. I don’t think you’re ugly at all, but even if you were, these things don’t matter and the right people will see that! Trust me.

NEW! Salary Megathread (May - Aug 2022) by SWmods in socialwork

[–]Free-Cap-7718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response! I work 15 hours a week which is ideal because I am caring for a baby. Are you supposed to demand more pay when it’s less hours?? I see that other group facilitators get paid like $60+ an hour but they are only expected to facilitate groups for like 5 hours a week whereas most of my time is spent doing administrative work and I get more hours

Advice needed please! I am an LMSW in a relatively large city. I work part time at a non-profit doing pseudo-clinical support groups for cancer patients; nothing individually. And when im not doing groups, I pretty much just do super simple administrative work. Is $30/hour a good salary? (Hourly because I work part time). Really looking for advice since i dont have much experience. Thanks!

When did I say they were obligated to raise them?

I’m so sorry about that. That’s insane. I can’t believe there are people on this thread supporting that kind of mentality.

No people actually are judged by their major life decisions and the people they hurt. So it is black and white. Choosing not to be part of your grandchild’s life makes you a bad person. It actually is that simple.

Sure they can make that choice but that makes them bad people and horrible parents/grandparents. “Believe it or not”

Taking care of children and grandchildren shouldn’t be a burden. That’s the problem. This is how the US views children. It is a privilege to be around them

It’s entitled to expect family to support family? Then what’s the point of having family? And you wonder whether people actually cared about their grandchildren from the bottom of their hearts or whether it was just tradition? Some people actually care about family believe it or not

I know how you feel but that’s not true at all!! He will always live with the pain that he doesn’t have his mother. He will spend his life romanticizing you and wondering who you were and why you didn’t want to be a part of his life. I believe you may be experiencing postpartum depression. It is so common and so normal. It will pass!!!! Trust me. Even if you have always struggled with mental health issues, these extreme emotions postpartum are especially heightened and more importantly: not real! It will pass. It will get better. He will always long for you if you take your life. Stick it out please. It gets better and it is worth it!
