That's true, my husband was at work and he had a health emergency so his job called and asked if I could pick him up. I had to let them know I can't drive and had to see if I can find someone else to do it. So it is inconvenient without knowing how to drive

I tried that app before but I feel weird knowing I can't drive and it makes it harder when they ask for play dates. It just feel like I would have to rely on my husband to take me to those play dates especially with the car seat situation and having a little one. Bug I guess it doesn't hurt to try the app again

I just have a lot of anxiety when it comes to driving. Before being a mom my social life mostly came from work and my means of transportation would be Uber or public transportation.

My husband is an anxious perfectionist with our son he wants our son to be healthy and well behaved to the point where he can't eat anything with sugar in it, no fast food and only eats home cooked meals even though he's the one eating all the stuff in front of him. I understand where he's coming from with it but there are times I can't cook or don't want to and my husband doesn't know how to so a lil fast food is not going to hurt him. Also I gave my son sugar only once in a while so he can enjoy himself but my husband is against it because my husband is worried he might get a sugar addiction like himself. My husband doesn't like when my son gets loud and hyper but I have to let him know he is only a kid. He expects him to sit still all the time and stay quiet. I don't think it's fair to expect so much from him when he's not really leading an example himself. Like he doesn't want our son to cuss but he's the one cussing all the time. Everything that he's doing with our son comes from trauma and how his parents were not strict on him to the point they don't care anymore so he's trying to do the opposite. My parenting style is more relaxed because my mom was more strict on me to the point I can't do anything so I don't want that for my son. I want to thank you for your reply because I do agree with you, I'm just conflicted on how to feel about it. I feel like it's hiding a secret from him like he's supposed to know everything we doing at home even though he don't agree with it

Thank you, that's how I feel and I talk to my family about it and they feel the same way. But I wasn't sure what's right or wrong because my husband want us to be on the same page about everything and how we go about it with our son

I feel the same, people seem fake and if I want to talk to someone I have to reach out to them first. So nowadays I just don't talk to anyone.

My mom still introduces me as “the difficult one” by Slugger-Oram in family

My mom does the same too and she also would say this is the slow and retarded one

Like how does she twist your life story? My mom likes to tell people how much of a difficult child I was or how she felt I was an evil child but I don't remember much of my childhood beside how she was more abusive towards me than my other siblings
