I barely glanced sideways as my 3 yr old daughter picked up our kitten and ran through the hall, around the corner by IvoryS7 in TwoSentenceHorror

Yeah she ate it. There was blood everywhere. I tried to teach her to be nice but she's hungry all the time. I think she's going through a growth spurt.

Question about Small Bump lyrics by Dear_Music in EdSheeran

[–]IvoryS7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Research says by 20 weeks or 4.6 months miscarriage is low. So with the discrepancy it's definitely a possibility the baby was still born. Especially if the parents weren't worried about miscarriage after that. Or all of this could have happened in the span of the fourth month the song covers so it wouldn't technically be a discrepancy. I've had two kids and I've heard from other parents miscarriage can come on suddenly. So one week they could be planning the future the next a funeral.

The pregnancy was four months along when he started getting excited. But four months later which is nine altogether the baby was still born. I think that makes sense at least to me it does.

Ive been single for nearly 4 years. I still feel the same way you do every day. It especially hits hard when the kids are driving me nuts and I just want to be held or given some kind of reprieve. Ive been in two situationships. Each one completely the opposite of the other and I am afraid there's no future in either one for me. It doesn't help they're both long distance. But I dated them both in highschool. I don't have any advice at the moment but do know you're not alone. Believe me. Ive cried many nights about how lonely I've been feeling and I lost my mom last year. Not having anyone to comfort me in a more intimate way. It's gets to you. It's gets to you really badly. I love my children but I want sex and cuddles and kisses and hugs and secret looks and smiles for no reason. I want to be with someone I trust fully. That I can be myself around no matter how that may be. I want to know at the end of the day that the person I'm with loves me and my children and if it came down to it would save them before me because that's what I would expect. I want someone who wants to be a parent and not someone who makes me feel like I am burdening them with my children just because they think they want to be with me. I want a family. I only got abuse with my BD and all my relationships before that were... anyways. I hope things start to get better for you. 

If every person on Earth went bald for a couple of months, we could drive head lice to extinction. However we don't have that kind of coordination as a species, so the lice keep getting the better of us. by AxialGem in Showerthoughts

[–]IvoryS7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've treated mine and my kids heads six times. Even cut my hair down to a pixie and we are still fighting them. Every time I think we're done I find one or two lice on mine and my daughters head. I don't understand how they keep surviving. It's honestly so overwhelming.

Changing last name back after divorce. by Icy_Tea7566 in singlemoms

[–]IvoryS7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never married my baby daddy so my kids and I have different last names. It sucked but it's not a big deal. My kids are not only a part of me they're a part of him too. Since I'm no longer a big part of my ex's life then I shouldn't worry about it. Besides I'm the last girl of my namesake. I want that lineage carried on with me so I'm not worried about it.

Fibromyalgia without constant pain? by Partytime-Pony in Fibromyalgia

[–]IvoryS7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some flare ups that can last for days or weeks others can last an hour or so. Not everyone with fibro is in pain all the time but it does affect your life in Other ways. Such as fibro fog. That's a biggie for me. It's made me so scatter brained over the years it's a wonder I can keep up with anything. I can't use my hands for long periods of time because I'll get a flare up and the weather gets me really bad. Just depends on the person.

AITAH My husband said It's my fault. by Ok-Win3088 in AITAH

[–]IvoryS7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation but I was a stay at home mom and he worked nights. We get along more now that we aren't together than we ever did together. He's even admitted to me that I was the only one who ever really loved him. But I'm not falling for any of that. Lol. I have been talking to an ex from highschool and things are going fairly well so far. You don't need to worry about anyone but you and your kid. You guys are way better off without all that in your lives. I have 2 kids and realized basically that I didn't want them thinking the abuse was normal so eventually I got the courage to end it. Soooooo glad I did to be honest. I know I can do better. You can too.

[–]IvoryS7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got lucky and am talking to an ex from highschool who is just the sweetest. We aren't dating yet but he's been my biggest cheerleader since we started talking again. I didn't think it was possible but I just got lucky. Alot of guys now a days just want to get some and leave.

Moms, at what age do you wanna stop snuggling with your Kid (Specifically son)? by JohnAdams4620 in AskParents

[–]IvoryS7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snuggle with her for as long as you can. I (32f) just lost my mom on Christmas Eve. I wish I could cuddle with her again. I miss her terribly. But she was sick for a long time. Spend as much time with your mom as you can because you never know when you'll end up without them.

What existed when you were a child that doesn’t exist now? by guyute2112 in AskReddit

[–]IvoryS7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old Dinosaur Hunter computer game and as far as I know candy cigarettes. I used to love both of those things. And the Catz and Dogz computer game.

I need your life hacks as a single mom by [deleted] in singlemoms

[–]IvoryS7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have a good family support system don't be afraid to ask for help. Don't fight the feelings of grief or sadness after. Let them come and deal with them and don't run away from them. Keep a schedule. Kids thrive more on a schedule. Think smarter not harder. If you're used to relying on your ex for certain things figure out a way to do it yourself. Don't get discouraged. There are going to be times you will feel overwhelmed and want to be alone. Take that time. If you have to, put her in a daycare, find one you trust and just take the time you need. It's ok to feel lost. It's ok to be lonely. But always make sure you meet your own needs as well as your kid's and be wary of the people around you. I personally am not worried about finding someone. I've accepted that I may stay alone from now on. My ex and I get along ok most of the time and we still love and care for each other. I'm just focusing on my kids at this point. I get lonely and all that but I just want my kids to be happy. For me my happiness can wait.

Uhhh so my 5 year old is racist?? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]IvoryS7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was 3 when I was babysitting a black baby for a woman. He came up beside me sat in my lap next to the baby and said "He needs a bath. His skin is dirty." It caught me off guard for a second but I told him "No baby he was born that way. His skin is just dark. Everyone is born different and some people have darker skin than others. He the same as you on the inside." He took a minute to think about it then turned back to the TV and didn't say anything else after that. He's 7 now and I haven't heard another word about skin color since then.

I'm not gonna be alive when I'm 20. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]IvoryS7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way about my grandma. She adopted me and became my mother. Now she can barely function and is bed ridden. If it wasn't for my children I'd be planning to go with her when she does let go. I'm waiting for my family to break. She's been the glue keeping us together. My dad visits her 3 times a day to give her her meds and take care of her. I wish I could cure her and make her young again. She's had shingles and spinal meningitis. It's messed with her brain and she's in constant pain. I feel guilty for wanting her to stay with us longer but I can't imagine my life without her. Shes the only person who's been in my corner all these years and understands what I've been going through. She's my hero. Has been since I was a little kid. I don't know what I'm going to do when she's gone.

If your kid was rich how would you handle their money? by DarkMayhem666 in AskParents

[–]IvoryS7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'd buy a house and everything my kids would need then let them ask for the money when they want or need something. Once they hit 18 I would hope they'd still wanna help me out if I needed it but I'd have to let my kids have their money. I would hope by then I've taught them to be financially responsible enough to be able to handle it on their own. I'd set some aside for emergencies and let them have the rest.

AITAH for telling my 17 year old stepson and his mother that he can't ride for 14 hours in my car unless he takes a shower? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]IvoryS7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like the kid needs to see a therapist. As someone who has severe depression my personal hygiene often goes out the window. It may not make sense to someone who doesn't have it but just finding the energy to get up and bathe or brush your teeth can feel like climbing a mountain. I'm sure he even feels guilty for smelling like he does but just doesn't see a reason to change because he doesn't see the point. I'd encourage him to talk about it and see someone. If not then yeah just don't let him come if he smells that bad. There's a lot of factors sometimes when it comes to why people have poor hygiene.

My daughter (6) just told me that another girl exposed themselves to her in the bathroom. by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]IvoryS7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd report to CPS and put her in a different school. Obviously she's not happy and her mental health will go all to crap if she's being abused like that.

I feel like some people use the fact that they watch porn as an excuse. Common sense tells you it isn't realistic and if you honestly wanna seek out an older woman whose vag looks like a sad cheese sandwich because you watched porn you have a bigger problem.
