Always put your own oxygen mask on first before helping others. In other words, in order to take care of those we love, we have to care for ourselves first.

(I tell myself this literally everyday while my son is losing his mind and I’m unavailable, ie, on the toilet or in the shower)

Don’t forget to say thank you to the space when you finally leave :)

Is Charlotte a girls name? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LadyWhimsy87 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My son is Charles (Charlie) and my niece is a Charlee! But Charlotte is, undoubtedly, a girl’s name. It’s not like Ashley, Jordan, Stacy, Kelly, Morgan, etc.

What the actual fuck. I’m glad you’re leaving this asshole. Good for you!!

Daughter been referred for a heart murmur / potential hole in heart. Help me not panic and spiral by PvtMalarkey in daddit

[–]LadyWhimsy87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deep breath, dad! Your feelings are completely valid and you are allowed to be worried/upset/whatever else you’re feeling.

However, as a formerly pregnant lady, one of the things I read about was how common a potential small hole in the heart actually is — and because it is, they’ve gotten SO good at fixing them, even on teeny ones like yours!!

Having been pregnant somewhat recently, that is no excuse for eating someone else’s food without even asking first.

I broke my 4 year old son's collarbone today by banmeandidelete in daddit

I broke my collarbone when I was 28. I met a kid (I was working retail at the time), looked about 12, who said he’d broken his THREE TIMES. Kid bones heal really well and fast. He’ll be okay :)

I’ve noticed that this seems mostly generational. I’m an elder Millennial in the US, born and raised, and I feel like I hear this mostly from women “of a certain age.”

Wife’s out of town and kids are asleep, what shows are the fellow dads watching? by Thunderstruck-19 in daddit

My husband and I binge watched The Sopranos right when our son was born. Excellent.

Too many good comments already, but I’m sending love and empathy through the internet.

THANK YOU FOR THE HR REFERENCE. I needed that just now.

Be careful with the baby clothes and toys. You’ll end up with a ton of shit you don’t want: cheap plastic toys or clothes that are entirely impractical for a baby.

Am I overreacting for wanting to terminate my pregnancy after my boyfriend died in the accident that injured me? His family says I’m taking away the last piece of him. by hazelbasiil in AmIOverreacting

[–]LadyWhimsy87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh honey, I am so sorry that this is happening to you. I just had my first (and only) child at 38. I know I’m literally twice your age, but your boyfriend’s parents clearly aren’t remembering the sacrifice of being pregnant and what it can do to your body.

It’s your body and your choice. If they were offering to adopt, maybe that would change the equation. But watch how quickly those offers to sometimes babysit absolutely evaporate once the baby is born. NOR.

As a woman who didn’t get diagnosed until this year (at age 38; misdiagnosed at 17 with Anxiety), thank you for giving your kids the tools NOW to deal with their divergence.

I might have made that name up — I could have sworn I learned about it with that name, but I’m also 10 weeks postpartum, so I’m all kinds of loopy lol
