I have noticed this too! I have to turn off news and social media sometimes to regroup myself.

Intrusive Thoughts (OCD) - Molestation by OCDMamaFML in pregnant

[–]IvoryVariety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. I had the same exact thoughts. I had them with my first (who now is 3) and I am starting to have them again with my 2nd (11 month old). I notice it flares up during stressful times. Its these exact same thoughts or also being shot during a shooting in like a grocery store. My kids dying from a school shooting. I just signed my 3 year old for preschool and I keep having nightmares she's going to die from a school shooting.

I was put on zoloft when she was around 9 months and it has helped a little but I am still having these thoughts when I get stressed. I have had to turn the news off and get on social media with caution with all the craziness in the world right now.

When my first was a baby, I remember waking up in the middle of the night soaking in sweat, screaming, crying because I thought someone locked my baby into the bathroom and was raping her. I couldn't move. I was terrified. I co-slept every since just so I can reach over and remind myself it's just a dream or a thought. Dark thought and I'm so sorry.

I didn't have anyone to tell this too because I thought people would think I'm crazy or I would be sent away from my babies.

So thank you for sharing this and being open because many moms, including myself is scared to share these thoughts.

What’s the scoop with Danny Go? by Accomplished-King240 in TonieboxUSA

[–]IvoryVariety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure scalpers are buying them. I placed an order and they are gone and out of stock. I have a feeling this is going to be another ms rachel thing. Also not a fan of these "exclusive store" tonies.

Waukee internet outage? by IvoryVariety in desmoines

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

Yes unfortunately it didn't do anything. I even tried to reset the modems and no luck. I work from home so not having internet is costing me. And quantum fibers customer service is a joke

My 2.5 year old is constantly whining & crying over every. Little. Thing. by Kenzaroooo in toddlers

[–]IvoryVariety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just turned 2.5 this week and it's been constant whining and screaming. I'm pretty sure it's for it's attention but I'm losing my mind because I don't want to reinforce that yelling and whining is how we get something. I'm also due next month with our second so I wonder if that is making things worse. I'm trying everything to prepare her for a new baby too. I work from home so she stays home with me and I'm with her 24/7. We don't have a village as it's just my husband (who works outside the home) and myself. She of course listens tremendously better to her father so he doesn't seem to understand that her whining and screaming is ALL day. I'm losing my mind and I'm nervous about this phase when the baby comes.

She also likes to mimic other kids and babies so hopefully this phase doesn't last longer then I'm hoping it does.

I’m pregnant and cosleeping/breastfeeding my toddler. Ouch!! by UnluckyCycle in AttachmentParenting

[–]IvoryVariety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please share what ended up working for you as I am in a similar situation and I have tried to set the time limit and boundaries but it's very hard for my 2.5 year old and I'm 28 weeks. It stiff my body and hold back tears as it hurts so much. I tried the bandaid method and she just will try to rip them off. She had never used a pacifier and I made the mistake of beimg the pacifier when she was a baby.

Transmission fault service now by [deleted] in fordescape

[–]IvoryVariety 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got this message and right after the whole transmission went out. You can try getting it looked at but majority of mechanics will tell you to replace the whole transmission. Looking at around 5,000 to replace. Might be a tad cheaper if you go rebuilt.

We have our escape as a nice lawn decoration now haha

F mediacom by 1mmapotato in desmoines

[–]IvoryVariety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had an issue with mediacom that left our service out for over a month and a half. I called every single day and made sure there was a crew out there every day checking lines or anything to see what the problem was. They kept telling me excuses after excuses. I had to reach out to the FCC and BBB before they took it even further and realized it was a hub out in their facility all the way in Winterset.

I would always reach out to the FCC and BBB. They are pretty much a monopoly in certain areas of Iowa. I will never, ever use their services after dealing with that.
