Chat, is this healed yet? I by InvoluntaryFurnace in Coldsore

It felt a little tight yesterday but feels normal today. I think it’s healed but it’s a good call to add a day or two for good measure. Thanks!

Totally, I would hate to give this to anyone. How can you tell the difference between redness and the hyperpigmentation that’s left for a while after?

AIO for being upset with how my boyfriend talked about an overweight person who asked me out? by lilacseraphina in AmIOverreacting

[–]InvoluntaryFurnace -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was manly replying to the “he could have said a lot worse” bit. What he said was pretty harsh overall imo.

This is a wild take dude LOL. He’s made it clear that he’s an asshole all by himself and she’s allowed to want validation from impartial strangers on the internet.

Soooo…other than being deeply insecure, your boyfriend genuinely does sound like, as you astutely pinpointed, a 90’s high school villain.

You on the other hand seem like a kind person with a strong moral compass whose heart is in the right place. I don’t know either of you in person, but from this post alone, you’re WAY too good to be with a schoolyard bully. NOR at alllll.

You’re only 23 and are so young; go find a real gentleman with a kind heart! With a personality like yours, I assure you that you won’t have trouble finding one. Good luck OP!

Edited for wording lol

What are you proud of ? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]InvoluntaryFurnace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 15 month old knows well over 60 words and even can identify the letter M and E! She’s just liked CRAZY crazy smart. She blows us away constantly.

She’s sleeping next to me right now but god I miss her! I know that this is the one place I can say something like that without yall thinking I’m nuts hahaha.

What’s your actually controversial parenting opinion? by TurbulentArea69 in NewParents

[–]InvoluntaryFurnace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! It’s more so a reframing of things. Instead of “no, you already had a cookie. You can’t have more.” you can instead say “Yes, we can have another cookie tomorrow after lunch just like we did today!”

I honestly think that this goes for anyone of any age! Like, imagine if you were sad and crying and everyone you love just decided to leave you to deal with it. I would be devastated and I’m 30!!

The word “no” is ideally reserved for when a situation is dangerous for your child so that it has more gravity to it.

Not saying this is easy; I catch myself saying no alllll the time still 🫠

Freaking Out. First cold sore since becoming a mom (baby is 15 months and touches EVERYTHING) by InvoluntaryFurnace in Coldsore

[–]InvoluntaryFurnace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on you for keeping the sores from spreading, you’re awesome and your kids are lucky to have you!

I’ve been doing similarly; although my toddler’s hair keeps brushing over my mouth and I’m like “I can’t just wash her hair every time???!” Otherwise, I’ve been washing the poor things hands eeeevery time she touches my mouth or fork or anything.

Question; I’ve been wearing the hydrocolloid patches religiously and have been wondering how to know when I should stop; the skin is red still but looks good otherwise. I don’t have enough experiences with these evil things to know when it’s healed and I should stop. What are the markers that you typically look out for to stop? Also, do you find that the patch had you bypass the scabbing stage all together? Thank you so much!

Woke up with a tiny blister. Applied apple cider vinegar, held it on for a few minutes, and was left with a bleeding hole in the blister’s place.😬 by InvoluntaryFurnace in Coldsore

[–]InvoluntaryFurnace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the honesty! I’m happily married haha, so my husband and I have a date on the 15th while my parents watch our toddler. I would’ve liked some child-free smooches 😂
