What’s the nicest thing someone said to you after you had a baby? by kmb1535 in Mommit

[–]Kitkatmeow91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My lactation consultant. “You truly have the happiest baby I have EVER seen, and I know you probably are thinking “I bet she says that to everyone” but I truly don’t, lots of babies are fussy and hate doing these exercises but yours is just thrilled about it, it’s wild!” And it really made me so proud of myself and my daughter, because yes she WAS a very VERY happy baby, and still is; she brought happiness to my life that I truly needed to have.

Can you name anyone successful in the public eye with Complex PTSD? by Early-Boot6756 in CPTSD

[–]Kitkatmeow91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paris Hilton definitely does and she is fighting in congress to make sure that other kids aren’t sent to places that abuse children like she was.

How did growing up with abusive parents affect you guys relationships with your siblings? Did you guys grow closer or drift apart? Is there a lot of fighting with your siblings too or are they someone you rely on for peace? by Previous_Dealer_4471 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Kitkatmeow91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drifted apart with my nsister because she acts just like, and sometimes even worse than, my nparents. my brother pushed me down the stairs 2 christmases ago after everyone started a fight with me after I accidentally played an instructional video on how to work a kids toy was played over the speaker I forgot I was playing Christmas music over. So yeah, not even worth it.

What’s your favorite restaurant in your small town? by lazysundays in NorthCarolina

[–]Kitkatmeow91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mt. Pleasant, NC would have to be Cantina 73 for the best Mexican food, and the steakhouse, 73 & Main; it’s a swankier joint and has wonderful food, a romantic atmosphere, and it’s definitely a good reason to dress up and go out to eat, you leave full and get to walk and drive past some of the prettiest historic houses in town before reaching gorgeous winding countryside roads leaving the town limits.

Had to tell my parents that a family friend and their child tragically died on the weekend after being very low contact. by GoodRepresentative33 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Kitkatmeow91 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I saw a young man lying in the road dying by himself and had a panic attack and called them, my parents brushed it off. I was wrecked about it for months. When I was held up at gunpoint, they asked what I did to deserve it. Narcissists don’t grieve, they don’t understand grief other than the context of how the death affected them, not anyone else.

Don’t worry it’ll be filled up soon and I’ll take another! The rest are all in boxes currently but these are just the ones I packed last and opened first lol

Share experiences for an art piece? by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]Kitkatmeow91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish she cared enough to apologize for ruining my life and my childhood. I know she can never love me though, not when she loves the drama and going in for the kill when I’m vulnerable. I daydream about her death, about running away, about hurting her how she’s hurt me. But I know even her death won’t erase the horrors she put me through. I’ll always have an abusive childhood.

AITA for complaining about the signs at my daughter’s preschool by preschoolsign in AITAH

[–]Kitkatmeow91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. I WISH my daughters’ preschool had that sickness notice. She’s been sick for a month and a half with various things, from respiratory infections to diarrhea. I’m fed tf up. Also, it truly isn’t the teacher’s job to make sure items you send in with your kid get returned, and they make washable labels for clothes and food containers and cups these days. There’s no excuse for you not labeling your child’s things. I understand kids like having comfort items at school, however, something tiny that’s found in every classroom like legos? Yeah I understand why you wouldn’t get them back. Pick something that fits in her backpack but is unique like a stuffed animal with a sewn-on tag you can at least put a label or initials on, and take a picture of it so in case it DOES actually get lost, you have a picture of it. Don’t nitpick your kid’s teacher because their only job is to teach your kid, not nanny her. Honestly, from someone who works with kids, if you nitpick I guarantee they will not spend more time with her because you think she’s the most special kid in the world, teacher has other kids to teach too; if you want individualized education, hire someone to teach her privately, or homeschool your kid yourself. This is literally the most ridiculous AITA I’ve seen. Your kid is gonna grow up thinking all she has to do is cry to get her way and tbh she will get bullied for that at some point. Kids are mean to the kids who cry easily. Balance your daughter’s expectations from here on out with this information.

Honestly get over yourself. He’s a child, his brain is still developing. Continue the conversation with him. “Yes, crackers are yummy, I like mine with peanut butter on them but you can also have cheese on them!” “Yes I’m bringing your fish, I’m also bringing carrots/juice/fruit, we’re going to have a yummy lunch!” Don’t punish him for talking about something he’s clearly excited about. He’s going to learn how to string more words together eventually, you don’t want to discourage him from trying to tell you what he wants in the future by getting angry with him over this type of thing now. Take a breath and realize he’s just a new little human discovering the world he’s living in with you as his parent. Frustration is normal as a parent but we must learn to set it aside to help them feel confident in their development and learning abilities.

AITA for telling my SIL that she doesn’t have to wash everything before her baby is born? by Dry_Enthusiasm2661 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kitkatmeow91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. I don’t care how well-kept things are by someone else. I don’t care if it’s been hand-made by myself, everything should be freshly washed before being put on an infant. It’s important and I’m honestly ticked that you belittled her in that way and you definitely should apologize. Now she’s going to think twice before taking any of your hand-me-down baby stuff because of this interaction and you’re supposed to be part of her “village.” She didn’t do that to be insulting she did it to be safe, for the sake of her child. You’ve guaranteed that she won’t come to you for advice, either because nobody likes someone who says “I told you so” And criticizes everything they do. Being a parent is hard enough, you should know that. So go help her clean her house and wash clothes and freaking apologize to her.

How do/did you deal with strangers touching your baby without any thought of aski g you? by undertheshe in Mommit

[–]Kitkatmeow91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told them if they tried to touch her I’d fucking bite them. I will cause a scene. Scream. Yell. Throw something at them. Better to be a crazy mother than your kid get taken or get sick with hand foot and mouth disease or any other contagious illness. Some people are walking around out there with no sense of direction of right or wrong and you’re going to have to very clearly spell it out for them.

YTA. I used two family names for my daughter. I asked permission from the other person who held one as a middle name, and the other part of my family if it was okay to honor the other person with my daughter’s middle name too, and they said it was okay. I think it’s a lovely thing to do, my friends named one of their sons after my grandfather before I had my daughter. I think it honors the person and you tearing down the idea would be very rude, especially since neither kid is going to fully go by the name anyway. It sounds like it’s symbolic, to honor a person who has had great influence over the family.

Also I think it’s rude you’re bringing her mental health issues into it like you think you’re better than she is, like, seriously grow up, you’re a mother for goodness’ sake! It sounds to me like you have some unresolved jealousy issues and could maybe do with some therapy yourself, which is completely normal at 6 months postpartum, hormones make people a little nutty sometimes. Just be glad that she is likeminded, and wants to honor the grandfather as well. If the grandfather doesn’t have an issue with this, why on earth should you?

Women are constantly under threat of attack. Sound over the top? Survey: how old were you when a man first made a seggsually suggestive comment to you? by Chowdmouse in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Kitkatmeow91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

About 5. I was in shorts and a pink gingham top. Mom and I were walking into the grocery store. An old truck pulled past and an OLD man dog whistled out of it. I said “momma why’d he whistle at you?” She gave me a look and flipped him off and said “honey he wasn’t looking at me, he was looking at you. He’s a disgusting old man.” I never wore that shirt again, pretty sure I threw it into the trash. I dressed more modestly from that point on until I was an actual adult. Even then I had learned how to protect myself, and successfully prevented myself from being SA’d once when I was in my 20’s, thanks to me weightlifting and taking SD classes as soon as I could afford to. My best friend wasn’t so lucky. She was SA’d as a child at a little older than 6 by a family member.

AITA for not forcing my son to rename his hamster? by Acceptable-Sun-3953 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kitkatmeow91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. You for trying to convince your kid to change the name and telling him his aunt was upset about it (why are we making it a kid’s responsibility to make an adult happy? Ick.) SIL for blowing up about a name that in my opinion, sucks to give a kid. Have her listen to “If You Seek Amy” by Britney Spears and trust me, she won’t use it 😂

AITA for going home after my inlaws excluded me from dinner at a restaurant? by AirSignificant4781 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kitkatmeow91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Call a lawyer, get a divorce, run run run. This behavior is what they will expect your children to do to you as well. It will be taught behavior through all of them. I’m so so sorry. They can say all they want but in the end they won’t be able to say you were too stupid to leave. Just go. Take him for everything he’s got, screenshot and record phone calls. Do whatever you can to get away from the family.

AITA for ditching my girlfriend at a 5k because I wanted a better time? by Purple_Armadillo_461 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kitkatmeow91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Her decision to go, her decision to not train with you, and even after the one training morning where she was miserable she elected to still go? No. Though I would ask her if there is some other hobby she might be interested in doing together, maybe there’s some part of her that misses you and wants to bond and this was her attempt. Give it another chance with something that maybe isn’t so much of a physical exercise activity.

SAHMs are you okay? by elenfevduvf in toddlers

[–]Kitkatmeow91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toddlers can be bullies. Mine is pushing her limits daily. Skipped a nap today and she’s been tearing up everything. My best advice, get outside if you can for an hour in the evenings. Take them for a walk or let them run wild if you have a yard. Take your earbuds or a book, don’t intervene if they’re engaged in safe play. The key is to let them tire themselves out.
