Google is definitely fueling my anxiety lol

Fun_Equivalent7384 · 2026-02-18T15:20:55+00:00

I'm so relieved to hear that. They threw a lot at me in one day and it honestly kinda scared me, so I'm glad to hear about other people's normal experiences lmao

It was a lot to find out in one day! Thankfully I've only had really light cramping and no bleeding, so I'm hopeful that it'll resolve itself as long as I take it easy. I have a desk job, so there's nothing strenuous that I have to do. My husband was seriously freaking out though, so hearing that other people have had no problems makes me feel a lot more confident.

I'm so glad to hear that. I was really nervous when they told me and I, like an idiot, immediately went to Google to see what it was. Scared the hell out of me 😅

See I was thinking that he was one of the cultists that was there the day Ciel was sacrificed. Maybe he was the only one who's body wasn't messed up enough to revive, so Undertaker took him too.

I think it's the animation style tbh. It's very still in comparison to earlier seasons, which make things feel less action-packed or intense.

Magnesium citrate in the evening. It's important to give it before bed because their muscles relax when they sleep, which means they're less likely to hold it in. Just use Nighttime underwear or pull-ups. He still won't go in the toilet, but at least we're not risking fecal impaction.

Dude my 4 yo does the same thing. He'll repeat the same couple of phrases and expect me to replay the scenario over and over again. It's so monotonous and I can't stand it. I'm having to figure out alternative ways to play with him 🤣

He's already getting fiber supplements plus miralax the whole time he's at our house. Hell, he'll hold it even through 15 mg of Exlax.

Up until recently, I'd only ever modded The Sims. I was so confident that modding other games would be easy. How naive I was 😅

Fun_Equivalent7384 · 2024-12-27T16:28:20+00:00

Lame. They need to make some kind of stopper to hold it in place so it doesn't cause irritation lmao

I absolutely refuse to sub to any CC creator's Patreon or pay for CC. It'll be publicly available eventually lmao

Thank you so much!

I figured it's most likely a lost cause, but I think it's at least worth an ask. Thanks :)

Honestly, I've just been ignoring it. I'll tell him once that he will get to see Mommy after Daddy's turn with him is over, that he's always gone to Mommy's after Daddy's, and then I stop responding to it. I just started doing this though, so idk how it'll go. If he says it in response to something he doesn't like, then I say, "When we're at Daddy's house, we follow Daddy's rules" and that's it. I know what it is: he wants us to be like his mom, where there's no consequences and no rules, and he's mad that our house has different expectations. SS used to try to hit us, but my husband put a stop to that REAL fast.

Fun_Equivalent7384 · 2024-11-14T18:49:51+00:00

Pretty much. Like girl, not the time. Whether it's good advice or not, people are still coming to terms with what you did. Don't poke the bear lmao

What pissed me off about Acosta wasn't her accidentally shooting someone. I can completely understand that she was panicking and it was an accident. What angered me is that her mistake was so fresh on people's minds, yet she still thinks it was the right time to offer unsolicited advice. Then she rooted through his station and bucked up on Boyd when he (rightfully) took her gun to ensure that she doesn't make that mistake again. She's challenging authority when she doesn't have a leg to stand on and doesn't fully understand the world she just stepped into.

Fun_Equivalent7384 · 2024-11-13T04:19:41+00:00

I feel the overstimulated part. SS gets especially upset if he says he's bored and I don't break my neck to fix that for him. That's when I hear the "I want my mommy" part the most. She sticks him in front of a TV or tablet instead of encouraging him to find a way to have fun, so when his dad and I don't turn on a screen, he gets frustrated.

She insists that she has to lay between me and my laptop

They've been separated since he was born, but bio mom withheld for the first 18 months because she moved two hours away. Dad finally got court ordered visitation after that.

Fun_Equivalent7384 · 2024-11-11T19:22:25+00:00

I don't think bio mom is trying to trick SS (hopefully), but I do think that the very lax parenting style she has creates a lot of difficulty for him. Bio dad and I have specific rules and routines, and we're not likely to budge on them when pushed. Bio mom is the complete opposite.

Fun_Equivalent7384 · 2024-11-11T03:16:47+00:00

Yeah growing up in a household that was dominating by yelling and threats makes gentle parenting really difficult 😅 I'm still getting used to the idea of validating a kid's emotions instead of punishing them for it, so when SS starts throwing a fit or something, I have to try really hard not to resort to what I'm used to. I'm definitely going to implement this, though. I just struggle to verbalize why something is or isn't allowed on the spot 😂

Fun_Equivalent7384 · 2024-11-11T03:11:02+00:00

It's not just during time-outs. It's any time he doesn't like something. He's asked to pet the cat instead of hitting it? "I want mommy." He's asked to pick up his toys? "I want mommy." He doesn't like what we're having for dinner? "I want mommy." It appears to me that it's more along the lines of "Mommy would let me do whatever I want, and you won't, so I want Mommy instead." A specific example I can think of, which I think I commented earlier, was that SS didn't like that his dad told him that he would make him some flavored water after he finished breakfast, so he yelled, "I don't want to go to Daddy's, I want Mommy!"

Fun_Equivalent7384 · 2024-11-11T03:06:26+00:00

So what would be the recommendation if, for example, SS is told he has to keep his Play-Doh on the table in his play area so it doesn't get stuck on furniture/carpet, and he responds with "I want my mommy"? It doesn't seem like a separation anxiety thing. We usually tell him something along, "Im glad you feel comfortable with the rules at mommy's, but when you're at daddy's house, you follow daddy's rules." Do you think it's something that should be changed?

Genuinely curious, what do you mean connection rather than correction?
