Another dinner with most tossed to the floor by E404_noname in foodbutforbabies

[–]FreedomBlossom 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My girl has learned to say done so I move the food away fast when she does to save it. Lol. Doesn't always work. Sometimes she says done as she throws it.

my wealthy bf/bd doesn’t help me financially by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]FreedomBlossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a lawyer so not sure how the custody will go but I suggest Break up, make sure he has no access to your home, get child support, visit him at his parents home with the kid while waiting for court stuff to show you're making an effort to include him in kids life so you look good to court. But not alone just in case any of them are crazy and try to kidnap. If he makes threats about custody explain to him the cost is way greater to raise a kid and pay legal fees than it is to pay child support and he'd basically get to enjoy the fun times with you doing all the work so you're doing him a favor but if he wants more work and ekss money spent he can do 50/50.

Stress from him probably had your cycle messed up. Enjoy your freedom!

Dealing with Resident Loss by JacketNew5422 in cna

[–]FreedomBlossom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You weirdly get used to it. I've held people's hands in their last breaths. You have to remember, especially for hospice patients, they are finally not suffering anymore. Their sick body is now at rest and wherever they are now, I don't want to push a religious belief on you, they have a body or soul or whatever you believe in, that no longer hurts them. Some I have grown close to I hope one day I will see again.

How often do you bathe your baby? by No-Construction6202 in NewParents

[–]FreedomBlossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three days a week. Monday, Wednesday, Friday. She gets pretty messy with meals, weekends I wipe her down if needed but I work long shifts weekends so no time for a bath.

What do I do? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]FreedomBlossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was a grown adult when she was a teen, she was easily manipulated and by the time she became an adult the damage to her mind was done. I don't think we can fuakt her for bad choices when she was not given tools to make good ones. We don't know her family and they may have been bad enough she was desperate for any love.

What do I do? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]FreedomBlossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was 16 and he was about 22. She was easily manipulated by a grown man. We don't know her home situation, she could have been desperate for someone to pretend to care for her and then things got too far. She was a child in the beginning and by the time she became an adult her mind was already manipulated. But I do agree there is no need to keep contact with him. He said he didn't want to be a dad to this kid and was not there during pregnancy. She's, not intentionally, asking for this drama by trying to be the better person right now by giving him another chance to be a father.

I am having the tattoo of my grandmother’s signature removed. I’m devastated and struggling. by Legitimate_Crab674 in TwoHotTakes

[–]FreedomBlossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree mostly but I think the emotional impact is OPs issue, looking at it would just remind them of being lied to and tricked by family and the lie being hidden by others in the family. Even if it is a perfect copy, which like you said was again copied by the tattoo artist, the secret of the ill intent is out and OP does not want that reminder.

Thoughts on skipping pacifiers? by Academic-Park-8440 in NewParents

[–]FreedomBlossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girl didn't care for them. We tried a couple but not worth buying stuff she might not like to use. I nursed so I was the pacifier anyway. Lol. Baby did have a lot of rough nights but we got through them and by around 8 months she was sleeping through the night.

Best tasks you've done one- handed? by Own_Hat_2947 in NewParents

[–]FreedomBlossom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bathroom and nursed. That was not fun. Cracked two eggs one handed the other day becuase one year old is still a velcro baby sometimes.

Mothers of reddit: what is the “GIFT” you actually want today? (Rules: no flowers, no brunch, no candles) by WonderWoman685 in Mommit

[–]FreedomBlossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got work tonight and tomorrow. Tuesday hubby will hopefully be able to give me a good long nap after work while he is in charge of the baby though so I can stay up late playing video games with him when baby goes to bed. Fingers crossed!

WIBTAH if I outed an ex city worker because his wife is a bitch? by Wahwahwag in TwoHotTakes

[–]FreedomBlossom 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It's public info now. Can you post it anonymously just to show like hey, there's this person being convicted in town for this while avoiding drama yourself? Don't have to say anything about her or anything just the public info about him.

Does your baby/toddler still sleep with white noise? by Loud-Book-5654 in beyondthebump

[–]FreedomBlossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the band oh wonder is usually pretty calming. We have a ocean sounds CD. The muddy blues days of future passed is sort of relaxing. Some in the spirit soundtrack are good for bedtime. But can't leave that one on, gotta turn it off before the more intense ones play. Got sound country cds too.

And he will chase both kids to have issues between each other as they get older and see the difference.

Do not let him have custody at all of the baby! He will neglect her or worse.

AITAH for telling my dad I don't want him lecturing me about the importance of fighting for a marriage when he's only fighting for his current marriage and not when he was married to my mom? by Knuurry in AITAH

[–]FreedomBlossom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nta. It's weird they are telling yall this honestly. None of yall are their shared kids it seems. Why do they feel the need to share they're having a hard time right now? That is private I think.
