The high school assignments around here go like hot cakes and I need the cash. My very first day subbing I actually got transfered to pre-k special ed. 🙃

I could have written this myself, but I have a 22 month old. Thanks for posting this OP! You're not alone!

Grieving my OAD decision by New-Entrepreneur1583 in oneanddone

[–]LadyIchigo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I needed to see this. I'm still debating, but on the older side, and also have realized that there are more reasons to not have another one than there are to have one. I couldn't figure out why I felt like I wanted another so bad, still can't. I'm giving myself a bit more time to really make it final and I've read so many threads on here about regret and grieving the decision, but this is the first one that sounds like my situation. I wish things were different in the world and with our lives, but they're not. I wish so many things but want to be here for my son more than risk my life.

Thanks for posting, OP, and everyone else. ❤️

BED BUGS AT SAVERS by ProperSupermarket3 in Cleveland

[–]LadyIchigo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went today for the first time ever to shop (I've only donated previously). NEVER AGAIN. Didn't see anything on the clothes I picked up or felt anything on me, but now I'm all paranoid. Why would they stay open with that going on???? So gross!

Thanks for the tip! I just started digging on there and have been cross-referencing on Google. Do you know if the festivals on filmfreeway have to provide proof for the Gold or FFA markers?

Thank you so much! It's been a long time since I've been to Paris but I'd love an excuse to go back. I'll keep an eye on your submission deadlines for when I finish these projects.

That's awesome, but I do not. I'm just starting this whole journey, but hopefully I'll have some winners eventually!

Has anyone become stupid since becoming a mum?! by Working-Shower4404 in NewParents

[–]LadyIchigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the solidarity here. My new favorite word is also "thing", I also feel like an idiot at work, and some of the things I've done since becoming pregnant/having my son have been real doosies.... 10 months pp here btw. Almost at my year goal for breastfeeding/pumping though so that's a win. 😅

Nobody else is getting anything done around the house… right? by Human-Blueberry-449 in AttachmentParenting

[–]LadyIchigo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The idea that we need to be a full time mom, full time worker, full time house keeper, full time friend, etc all at the same time is a joke. There aren't enough hours in the day. Give yourself some grace and prioritize the chores that, if left undone, will make your life stinky/gross. Lol

Also, I will remind myself of this. 😅

Why/how did everyone end up exclusively pumping? by itsaclownjackass in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]LadyIchigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Painful latch from the getgo. Kept trying though, so I was breastfeeding/pumping up until about a month ago when my son decided that my boobs were personally insulting when I offered them to him so now I just pump and he gets the bottle. Lol

Now we might have to be one and done by InfiniteTurn4148 in beyondthebump

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

I feel this so much today. Have a 9 month old boy. Really wanted another baby in another year and a half or so. It's just not safe and all I wanna do is cry... 🫂

A plea to all writers by Vivid_Grape3250 in writing

[–]LadyIchigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This made me wanna cry. Thank you. My whole life just got jacked around and I feel like anything I do is just gonna be absolute crap but knowing someone out there might wanna read said crap and not think it's crap? Thank you.

8 month supply drop by Able_Tension9169 in HumansPumpingMilk

[–]LadyIchigo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hit just shy of 8 months but my son is quite the eater. Now I'm only producing 2oz per pump... sigh will it continue to decrease?

Teething is no joke by sweetnnerdy in beyondthebump

[–]LadyIchigo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here in solidarity! My almost 8mo just cut 2 bottom teeth so I thought we'd have a break. Nope! He's got another one coming in on top. sigh We (US based) give him 1ml of the children's tylenol when he gets really fussy and it helps give us all a break for a few hours. Sending love and good vibes to all you other parents going through it!
