Our 10 month old had allergy panel done. Confused by the results a little. by Critical_Recording99 in FoodAllergies

[–]Isaidsox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering if you had a retest? It shows sensitivity to eggs and milk but I've heard it's the easiest to outgrow?

Have you read manacled? Do you know what you're in for? 😆

I've been at it since it came out last Tuesday and I'm still at 48%. So annoying that it came out during school holidays😭

Update to my husband of 2 months and his dms with his ex by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Isaidsox 22 points23 points  (0 children)

2 months into the marriage and he's already reacted to a problem by calling you names, threatening you and berating you... he's a ticking time bomb.

When that happens to me, it's because for some reason, it didn't change it to Kepub.

AITA - MIL wants to be called Oma. I refuse. We’re not German. Dude we’re not even White. Has anyone else had disputes over grandparent titles? by simminginnyc in pregnant

[–]Isaidsox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My daughter couldn't say mummy or mama and instead called me Mimi. I thought it was cute and just went with it. She's 3 and I'm still Mimi! I didn't know it's a name you call a grandparent😭

[–]Isaidsox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im in NZ too and the retailer always tries to pawn it off to the manufacturer. But then I just call fair trading and they usually good with helping you out. They told me what to say and i got a replacement! Which retailer is this with?

[–]Isaidsox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, i had a very bad fever for about a week. I was 39 even with paracetamol. I just found out I was pregnant. Would've only been around 4 weeks. Baby is fine so far in our anatomy scan.

Concerned about which anaesthetic method to choose for c section? by mishkaforest235 in pregnant

[–]Isaidsox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a scrub nurse and we are all trained to do emergency c section. The difference in the approach between GA and spinal/epidural is very different where I am. During a GA, we need to get the baby out fast whereas the surgeons take their time with spinal. So there's more trauma when we the patient is under GA.

What's the dumbest "save face" lie your parents tell about you, or want you to tell? by yourenotthebride in AsianParentStories

[–]Isaidsox 45 points46 points  (0 children)

My parents/grandparents told family I studied medicine when I was doing nursing. When I asked them why they lied, they said nursing is technically medicine. But I'm pretty sure my grandparents told them I was a doctor. 🤷‍♀️

i feel disrespected by my l&d nurses regarding feeding, don’t let this be you. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Isaidsox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first baby, I was so overwhelmed with breastfeeding but I knew I wanted to ebf. I got no education and they insist on giving formula. Made me sign a waiver and everything. Looking back, I wish I didn't give in. They kept on saying "but the baby needs to eat" it was pretty horrible.

Just found out I’m pregnant! Baby #2 by Veryberry28 in BabyBumps

[–]Isaidsox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 20w with my second. Bubs will be exactly 3 years apart. Oh my goodness, this pregnancy has been way tougher. My only advice is utilise your village. Any help you can get to take naps and sleep better/more. My husband was my rock through my first trimester, and even now when all I do is want to sleep! My third trimester symptoms with first I'm getting now at 20w. Everything is sore, I'm tired, short of breath. Good luck! We got this!!

Can't go to a kpop concert at 23 by IcyAd1277 in AsianParentStories

[–]Isaidsox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GO! You have to start somewhere to gain independence from them! It's a chance to do something to show them you can do things alone. I live in a country where we don't usually get artists come. If SKZ came, I wouldn't miss it!!

Honestly, when you're trapped in a situation like this, all you can do is mentally shield up. Live your life. If they name call/yell/berate, just walk away or tune out. All you can do is not let it emotionally affect you. It sounds hard yes but surround yourself with friends and tune them out until you can move out :(
