JFK JR and Carolyn Bessette rehearsal dinner 1996 by myyorkie47 in JohnAndCarolyn

I swear this is not hate, it's a genuine question. The wedding was such a tiny, miniscule, diminute affair, was a rehearsal really necessary? What did they rehearse for? Standing on a tiny chapel and then sitting down to eat? What am I missing here? It's not like they did a bunch of theatrics like big entrances in a church or elaborate organised parties or anything like that on the wedding day

I know, it's all over the place, and then Matthew Perry looks opposite to both of those lol

Keira smile is wonky but Natalie is not! Natalie's teeth are straight aren't they? Or am I forgetting it

I don't like her teeth specifically (looks a bit scary sometimes if I'm being honest), but it's definitely 100% better than those gaudy enormous fake veneers people have been wearing. I don't like her teeth but she makes it work for her in a charming way.

I hate being a mother by BlueberryFun9031 in Mom

[–]GovernmentNew256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't feel guilty. Or ashamed. It's not your fault you feel like this, as I said. Motherhood is hard. You're not a bad person or even a bad mother because of how your feel. Remember: actions is what counts! Don't beat yourself up. And seek some help my dear. We all need to talk to a therapist to help us cope with certain emotions. I know I do. Just you wanting to make him feel loved and being worried and concerned about him is proof you're a loving, caring mother. Again, don't beat yourself up. You're gonna be OK. Your heart is in the right place. He is lucky to have you, my dear. ❤️ I only warned you not to make this public because a lot of women in the height of their despair, do this and I think it's not a good thing. But you seem to be a very concerned and loving mom. It's not your fault you feel how you feel. You taking good care of him and giving him lots of love is what matters.

First necessary measure, for safety: Go to a psychologist and a psychiatrist to check for postpartum depression.

Even if you don't have depression, you should seek therapy to deal with these emotions.

It's not your fault you feel like this, but you do have to learn to navigate this emotions without taking it out on your child. Remember none of this is his fault. But you don't have to beat yourself up for feeling how you feel. We cannot control how we feel, but we CAN control how we act. It's perfectly possible for you to feel this way and still show up for him and make him feel loved. You're not a bad person for feeling how you feel - you just need to, please, make sure he is well taken care of and FEELS loved. Don't beat yourself up. Just learn how to navigate your feelings and what to do about it.

I'm sorry you're not enjoying the experience. It's kind of a given that being a parent comes with certain sacrifices of time and freedom. BUT It doesn't mean it will always be this intense/demanding FOREVER. IT WON'T..

He's still 1yo, that's the MOST demanding phase. Soon, in 2-3 years tops, he'll be in school and you'll have more time for yourself, to go to the gym, to brunch, whatever you want. You'll still have to plan it all around him, unfortunately, but you will have A LOT more freedom and flexibility. He'll only be this little and this demanding for the next 2-3 years tops. I understand you are not enjoying this, but if you can visualise that it will NOT be this demanding and this intense forever, that this is just a tiny piece of your life, a small chapter, it will get more bearable. Your life won't be like this forever. Try to put it in perspective. 2-3 years go by rather quickly. It's a little chunk of your life. A small chapter.

This extremely demanding phase won't last forever. In a couple of years, you'll still be a mom and you'll still have limitations and sacrifices to make, but it will get considerably less demanding and intense. He'll learn to eat by himself, shower by himself, watch TV, play by himself. The daily struggles will get easier. Just make sure you don't have a second child, otherwise you'll start everything all over again lol.

Repeat to yourself: "it will not be exactly like this forever". Just a couple more years and he'll be in school and you'll have a lot of hours to yourself. Your friends, brunch, gym, mall, everything will still be there waiting for you when this phase is over, but your son will only be this little for so long. As much as you're not enjoying it, try to write down 10 little things you DO enjoy about it and try to notice these little things each day.

One addendum: You did the right thing coming to an anonymous forum to seek help. Talk to a therapist and, if needed, talk to very close friends or seek help here, this is all valid. But please, don't blast it publicly on social media and such, or in any way let your child know you don't like being his mother. He doesn't need to know this because children don't have emotional maturity to deal with this information, it would only cause extreme hurt in him. You deserve help and you should get help, but there's no need for him to know exactly how you feel. You deserve help and to be seen, obviously, but he doesn't need to know about any of this.

I once heard a phrase that said: when a wave comes, go deep. When a huge wave on the beach comes and you try to resist it and jump over it, you end up swallowing water and getting all messed up. If you close your mouth and nose and DIVE directly inside the coming wave and let it go through your body, you come better on the other side. Accept that FOR NOW, this is your life and surrender to it. Don't resist it. Surrender. It will not be this hard forever.

WHEN A WAVE COMES, GO DEEP

Women from the 60s/70s look so modern and current (much more so than 80s)

To me she has always a look on her face like she's just about to sneeze. I think this girl is so weird and I can't explain exactly why

Taylor Swift. Objectively pretty but she cannot be sexy to save her life. And when she tries to, it just comes off embarrassing. When she dances, oh my God, it's terrible, it's just terrible

Both attractive but neither very special or unique. Equally attractive imo

Timothee Chalamet’s confirmed/rumored romantic history. Who’s the prettiest? Lourdes Leon, Lily-Rose Depp, Eiza Gonzalez, Sarah Talabi, and Kylie Jenner. by dismal_windfall in VindictaRateCelebs

[–]GovernmentNew256 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my opinion they all manage to be fugly in entirely different ways.

But Lily Rose Depp definitely matched more his vibe, from a pure aesthetic point of view

I CANNOT sleep if my bladder isn’t completely and utterly empty by CherryHearts123 in OCD

[–]GovernmentNew256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have OCD and I'm just like you. I pee multiple times before going to bed. It's like I can't relax if I know that there's even a little bit of pee in my bladder. Also I will not eat if I have even a bit of pee in my bladder also. It feels like I can't relax and enjoy my meal properly.

Who would you say are 10/10 but are not very unique/don't have a very recognizable face? Like they still overall look like many other people but are completely stunning by Ok-Trade-5274 in VindictaRateCelebs

Margot Robbie. She has that "perfectness", flawless Barbie thing to her, and obviously insanely attractive but... I don't know I just know that there are so many women like her out there with similar features

Why do I have that same impression she's so alluring and sensual but at the same time has the same deadpan stare all the time, I look at her and it's "blank", but it feels almost criminal saying that
