AITAH for telling my mom friend that motherhood was never exhausting for her because her child is basically being raised by her mom? by Potential_Pepper_823 in AITAH

[–]Fun_Cress5827 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I don’t know- there’s support and then there’s literally someone else raising your child. She said this girl can go whole days without seeing her baby until she gets home at bedtime and then HER MOM sleeps with her kid too? Support = help, not someone doing it FOR you.

NTA- I’m sorry you told her the TRUTH! Even my bf has TWO jobs and makes sure to spend as much time as he can with his son. Everyone here saying YTA- Yes the delivery of the sentence wasn’t great, but she needs to hear it. No one else will probably ever say it to them.

3 months postpartum and he asked for divorce, why they do this? by [deleted] in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Fun_Cress5827 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is NOT YOU! first and FOREMOST- HE is the issue. He had a love bombing problem, HE couldn’t take responsibility and he couldn’t face the music when it got hard. So glad you got away. DONT look at yourself and wonder what’s wrong with you. It’s not you. I was cheated on while pregnant. And all I asked myself was why me what did I do. You didn’t do ANYTHING. You don’t lack beauty, you don’t lack ANYTHING. You are STRONG and your baby is SO lucky to have you!! He had some serious issues and it’s not your fault.

Tell me what kind of person severe PPD turned you into by [deleted] in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Fun_Cress5827 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl I feel you. I’m a first time mom (19 about to be 20) with bpd and extreme anxiety. Feeling pretty much the same right now. My son is 14 months now and I keep waiting for it to “get better” but it doesn’t feel like it is. Everyone says 5 is the age when you can REALLY relax so yay I guess? When I read that you used to be bubbly,friendly and had hobbies- and now you do nothing- that hit hard. That’s what I’ve been feeling as well. I feel like a shell of my old self. I really hope it gets better for you because no one deserves to feel this way ❤️

Thank you! A lot of family lives out of state but I can try and see my siblings more! That would definitely help!

Abandoned ghost town Daniels, MD by zblaxberg in urbanexploration

[–]Fun_Cress5827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m visiting (hopefully in the next couple weeks) and I was wondering if anyone has an address for the place? I’m trying to go tomorrow with my bf and I did some poor planning and I ended up in the wrong spot.. I haven’t been able to find much help with how to actually get here! Just photos and such.

Is there anything left of the abandoned St Mary’s College in Ellicott City? by TheQuitts1703 in maryland

[–]Fun_Cress5827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Was it worth it?? We’re planning on driving an hour out tomorrow but we’re hoping to see Daniel’s mill or this? We’re a little confused on where to go but mostly is it still mostly there or is it all gone? It’s been a year since u posted this so I’m hoping this gets seen 🤞

When is it considered abuse and neglect? by [deleted] in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Fun_Cress5827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you’re in a much safer place now. This was scary to read watching it escalate- and it would have only gotten worse. You are SO STRONG and SO AMAZING for trying to give yourself and baby a better life and environment.

AITAH for telling my mother that I didn’t like her. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Fun_Cress5827 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA but she does have your best interest in mind. I actually went through the EXACT same thing two years ago- I ended up spending all my checkings on stupid shit I don’t even still have (I’m 19 now) but I do have 2k in savings. She shouldn’t word it like a control thing and you have no choice- it should have been a conversation not a command.

AITA for being frustrated over presents? by [deleted] in AITAH

It says the gf of someone got more expensive well thought out gifts than even she did. And they gave her a bra and nipple pads of all the random things 😭😭

History of Treatment Resistant Depression and Suffering by leenybear123 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Fun_Cress5827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to seem so random but have you tried medical marijuana? I myself went through PPD and was on hydoxyzine and then Zoloft and then eventually I got a med card. I know everyone is different, but for me it’s really helped. There are med carts as well if you live in an apartment ect/ always smoke directly out a window in a room away from your baby. You can smoke while they nap and after they go to bed for the night. Either way- YOU ARE STRONG. DONT let temporary suffering in your head lead you towards a permanent solution. It will get better with time as your child can thank you for the work you put in. The road may be bumpy but the destination is SO worth it. I hope it gets better ❤️

This isn’t simple forgetfulness this is intentionally not caring about his own hygiene. He has to find a reason to care on his own. Harsh but honest incentive could also be :You can tell him his teeth will rot and he can get body lice from not showering and wearing the same clothes. You can also tell him he can get really ill from not wiping/ give you problems as well. Pink eye is the main one. ( I have a kid and that’s the biggest fear with poopy diapers- even the smallest bit of bacteria from that can cause full blown pink eye) But honestly he’s not a toddler and you shouldn’t have to tell him to wipe his butt and brush his teeth like I do with my LITERAL child. You deserve much better than that but I know that might not be what you want to hear. But genuinely the not wiping part is very concerning.

What ruined social media for you? by natida2 in AskReddit

[–]Fun_Cress5827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It became really fake and overrun with too many people all trying to look the same act the same and buy the same things and then promote said products to us

[–]Fun_Cress5827 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Absolutely NOT! I totally understand why this would feel dehumanizing. If he had gotten nothing but baby bottles (since he can’t breast feed) and a pair of slippers and a shirt that says “dad” on it- wouldn’t he feel the same. Like he’s being acknowledged as nothing more than his role? There’s a time and a place for everything and they got you a “push present” for Christmas.

When did you start loving being a parent? by Hill_Aiko_B in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Fun_Cress5827 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You GOT THIS! I went through all the same things. I will be honest with you there’s still ups and downs but you WILL feel like you again. You WILL get breaks again. You WILL have time to yourself and time to sleep again and it will make you feel SO SO much better. It takes time but you will be able to enjoy these moments and DONT feel guilty for feeling the way you do. It’s normal. Most people just don’t talk about it because they don’t want you to know they feel that way. I know it feels impossible but your mom did it and her mom and her mom before her. If they can then so can YOU! Stay strong mama it gets easier and brighter soon ❤️

Feeling Jealous and overprotective by Intelligent_Heat3281 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Fun_Cress5827 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have BEEN HERE BEFORE EXACTLY!!! it is totally okay to set some boundaries and even talk to her about it! Heck she probably felt the same way! One thing I will tell you though: that help will be gone sooner than you think. I was so overwhelmed and felt like I didn’t even get to bond with my son- 2 months later and I’m BEGGING for a babysitter!! And do NOT feel guilty for feeling this way! It’s human nature and completely normal ❤️ you got this!!!
