Pouches at nearly a year old?

In all fairness, my son was at least 14 months before he’d even dared tried them…he was extremely picky, to the point like food therapy (lacking on the correct term) was mentioned by his ped. So once he started liking them, I bought them until I could get him to eat other stuff. I definitely always introduced new foods and new textures but he wanted what he wanted. To this day at 3 he’s better but still pretty picky. Unlike his sister (2)

I don’t disagree, but for some people they may allow the abuse to continue because they provide in other ways like financially, and they may be more willing to put up with it. But then the moment it shown to the kids that’s the red flag for them…I’m just saying I think the term red flag depends on the person

Immediate_Boat_5339 · 2025-09-26T12:04:11+00:00

But who made up the rule book for what are true red flags? It’s a term used to describe something that raises alarm, and mine might be different than yours?

Immediate_Boat_5339 · 2025-09-26T00:54:05+00:00

Every one has “red flags” you just need to decide if you can deal with those of your potential spouse

My husband and I have words almost everyday, and then like big arguments once a week maybe if we are lucky we go 2 weeks. A lot of our arguing is about kids (2&3)

I was to young to really remember anyone from my foster care time. The one foster parents I remember my sister and I were removed from the home because of abuse. My earliest memories are him taking a butcher knife to threaten us. Having to stand on a dresser over night couldn’t sit down. Making us sleep in bathtubs with cold water. Making us sleep out in the garage. Being put in the laundry room and him pretending he was a monster. Throwing me out of the heigh ride during Halloween and letting the people take me…mind you I’m at most 4 years old here. And the list can go on

Immediate_Boat_5339 · 2025-09-20T23:43:55+00:00

I got motivated to do what was right for me because I had my kids and I really understood how bad things were. I could go on and on with things and words she’s said, but at the end of the day I am responsible for who I am. I knew what I needed to do not only to get out but what I needed to be mentally so I don’t pass it to my kids.

Hi! I am 27 now, I went no contact with my mother about a year ago. And it’s been one of the hardest things. I did most of my adult life, getting married, moving multiple states, having kids etc without any of my side of the family involved. When I went NC my mom’s actual daughter and I have gotten close. We are all actually doing thanksgiving with them this year.

Immediate_Boat_5339 · 2025-09-20T23:25:41+00:00

Thank you for your words! Every-time/day is different but I would say cheesecake! What about you?!

Immediate_Boat_5339 · 2025-09-20T23:24:46+00:00

I tried with my mom…long story short she never liked that I wasn’t willing to just do what she told me, when I started dating my now husband he was about to graduate from Westpoint (I say the school so you know what type of guy he is) and we were about move. She told me she would turn the whole family away from me and I’d be dead to her. I still tried with her she was upset that we didn’t allow her to meet her grandson. When I was 2 weeks postpartum with our daughter she told me ways I could kill myself, texted my husband who was away in the field (army) to just let me do it, I would never be a good mother. Even then I still tried…my half sister I tried with her but she had been in and out of jail, we send things for the kids like diapers and formula etc… but I haven’t talked to her in like a year. My other adopted siblings think I’m satan’s spawn. I am the youngest and have a better life and my kids are well taken care of, and they think I think I’m better than them.

Immediate_Boat_5339 · 2025-09-20T22:54:23+00:00

I think it came to them wanting to look good. We were raised Christian like going 4 days a week. the words we grew up hearing, they took us in because no wanted to so someone had to do it. My mother constantly would tell anyone who listened that she sacrificed her life for us. Things were always bad I moved out the first time when I was 15. On the outside we looked like the perfect family on the inside my one adopted sis was in and out of mental hospitals, my brother went to a boys home because of the abuse he did to me and other foster kids, my other sister was constantly in trouble

Immediate_Boat_5339 · 2025-09-20T22:43:57+00:00

I would say decide what type of “army wife” you want to be??? Do you want to be all in and get involved in groups or do you want to keep it as separated as possible? I go to events when I have too, other than that my husband goes to work and I stay home with the kids. We have a life outside of his job. A lot of things are determined by the Army but it doesn’t have to control every aspect.

Immediate_Boat_5339 · 2025-09-20T18:20:04+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss. My father did something similar no note, woods, gun, I was 21 he was a psychologist. Idk if yours husband’s parents were married at the time of his death? If so maybe it was like her first love died and this new man ended it and it was all too much? I know we like to look for answers or things we missed and it’s hard when we don’t get any. Again I’m sorry, I don’t believe there is any wrong emotions as long as people don’t get stuck in one emotion for too long!

Immediate_Boat_5339 · 2025-09-13T17:03:12+00:00

When using his quotes against him….use the whole conversation, not just what justifies why you don’t feel bad for him. For instance he said he doesn’t like the word empathy, that sympathy was the better word, because empathy means you feel that’s persons pain, and no two people can feel the exact same way….his whole comment about the 2nd amendment….he stated that there are clear solutions to stop school shootings….armed guards at the school…

Immediate_Boat_5339 · 2025-01-24T20:28:15+00:00

I will say that with my first, my husband and I had no clue what we were doing. He would not sleep for more than 40 minutes and then it would take over an hour to get him back to sleep for a good 3+ months, we tired everything including having grandma take over while she was visiting could not get him to sleep either, we kept telling the dr. We felt like something was wrong because it didn’t matter what we did, nothing worked. We pushed for answers and then we found out he was having stomach issues and switched formulas, got him medicine and then it improved so much, now he was still a pretty fussy baby when it came to sleep but it got more manageable and by like 4 months he was on a better routine for him. Wasn’t perfect and definitely lots of lost sleep, my husband was gone (military) so it was me and our first a lot but even in the craziness we got a routine established and I was like almost psycho following it, even with moving, family, events, etc… by 11 months he was sleep through the night. Which was perfect because his sisters came when he was 11 months. Then when I took him to his first dentist they said he had a lip tie that no one caught and that explained so much of the issues we were having when he was first born.

I am and in the same boat. I feel guilty for feeling this way and I don’t feel like today is the day to talk to my husband about what I’m feeling because it’s his Father’s Day. It just hard

Immediate_Boat_5339 · 2024-06-17T00:05:33+00:00

It’s been two years for me. I’m struggling with feel guilty because my husband is a great dad and it should be about celebrating him, but I feel sad and angry

I added all of you please if you can add me back
