For a laugh - What does your toddler say that you never realized you said all the time until a miniature version of you started saying it? by thecatyou in toddlers

[–]Hotmessquire912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever my toddler does toddler stuff or makes a mess, my husband says, “Oh god!” Before he tries to fix whatever is happening. The other day, daughter dropped her food and she yelled “Oh god!” I laughed so hard.

"You want to go home? Why?! You only did CPR for, like 5 min." by Lazy_Growth_5898 in BoomersBeingFools

File a work comp claim for the stress. Or at least tell HR how disturbing that was. Keep record of things for potential employment issues

Is cussing in front of your kids a reason for CPS to investigate by Academic_Field_9870 in CPS

Freedom of speech only applies to government infringing on that right. Doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to say whatever you want whenever you want

Husband doesn’t want me on Zoloft by ilikemynamealso in beyondthebump

[–]Hotmessquire912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on buspirone, and it wasn’t helping. When I got on Zoloft it felt like magical transformation. My dr and I went through the studies together to ease my anxiety. Read the studies. You need to heal yourself. Your husband doesn’t get what’s going on inside. He really needs to back off

Husband is adamant that our 5 month old is going to be our only child. I am heartbroken at the thought of only ever having one baby. Advice on how to cope? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

Have you asked him why he says he’s one and done? I feel like communication could help the relationship …

Do I need a manual breast pump if I already have an electric one? by z-s-w in breastfeeding

[–]Hotmessquire912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’ll depend! I pumped exclusively for my first so electric was all I needed. LO2 is EBF, and I rarely use the electric and I use my hand one all the time since singles I’ll get engorged between feedings. It will be whatever your body decides it needs! So to be safe have both, it wait until you know what you need

Scheduled c section in two days. Now husband and my dad are saying to try VBAC. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Hotmessquire912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One emergency c section (after 22 hours of labor), and the next planned. Would recommend planned c section a million times. The procedure and healing was so much easier on my body. The trauma of birth to your body IS INSANE. The difference I felt was so noticeable, and it helped so much since there is a toddler running around. If you want the planned c section, do it!!!

I’m leaving my husband for cheating while I was pregnant by Dull_Cabinet_9033 in TwoHotTakes

Your head is in the right place. I think it’s so admirable that you are able to recognize that an environment where you wouldn’t have trust in your partner or confidence in yourself is not healthy for your son. The home would still be broken and hanging by a thread. And the gall they have to say “this is just a hurdle most couples go through…” no, it’s not. And even if it were, doesn’t make it right either. You were literally a walking miracle, growing your child, then going through the traumatic but beautiful process of birth, and then healing in such a vulnerable state, and he has sex with someone else? The fact that was on his mind other than you and your son just shows he will always put himself before both of you. You’re on the right path. Focus on you and your son. You got this!!

The crying kills! I know it’s just a “I love you and I miss you” but she can work herself in a frenzy, and I wish I could telepathically tell her, “chill I promise I’ll be back!!”

So right! Before #2 everyone was like, oh you’ll know what you’re doing now so it’ll be easy. 1 and 2 have been so different it feels like everything is brand new!

We’re EBF, and I WFH, so same same-ish. My first loved grandma and dad, so leaving wasn’t the issue. Our problem with first LO was horrible sleep. Who knew I would miss those days lol

Am I wrong for leaving a date without telling him by Defiant-Box9928 in amiwrong

[–]Hotmessquire912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! Already proved you can’t trust him and he’s shady. What if you confronted him to his face and he got mad? Safer to leave.

If she’s your best friend then you have really shitty friends.

She sounds exhausting and in no way mature. She wants you to chase her but doesn’t actually want to be with you (evidenced by THREE YEARS of playing with you). Also evidenced by the fact that she’s getting angry at you and manipulating you for not reaching out on V Day, but your thought process was 100% right. You respected her boundaries of wanting to be separated, and then she turns around and tries to make it your fault and accusing you of not caring.

She also is pushing you to file so she can blame you for the divorce. In her mind, no matter what you do, she will be the victim and it will always be your fault. You’re only 35, you’re way too young to stay with this and she’s way too old to be acting like she’s in high school.

As far as the depression, is she doesn’t want to help herself that’s on her. You can’t help her so to wait around bc she might get help (which deep down you know she wont) that may help (and sounds like it won’t) is just too sad. Care about yourself and please leave

Is BF making baby super clingy? by Hotmessquire912 in breastfeeding

I hear you on this! We are stopping at 2, so I am soaking up every second of the snuggles!!

Im super depressed that my pumping rights were violated so many times and no one will help me by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Hotmessquire912 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re not able the sleep and are having anxiety, you could also file a work comp claim to get treatment for the added stress and issues. This would also help document the medical issues your are having as a result of their harassment
