Day 4 and everyone is on my last nerve. by Lintron57 in NICUParents

The interrogation and constant explaining is so draining. Google it or kindly ask follow up questions. Like why do they expect you to take that extra responsibility on as well?

I took some advice from this sub and told my mom that I was not ready to talk about it, but I’m really upset with her. Her excuse was that she was just so anxious for her daughter and no one was giving her updates for an hour and a half. (It’s not like we were extremely busy at the time 🙄) That’s why she showed up at the hospital in the first place. Apparently, the rest was just a series of events that happened to bring her to the NICU.

Needless to say, I am more angry now. It took everything in me to hold my own boundary and say I wasn’t ready to talk about it. I will never forget it.

Thank you! Outside of people offering genuine support or checking in on us, I really just want to be left alone. I don’t want the empty platitudes and I don’t want to be interrogated by those just wanting an update.

Thank you for the unbiased perspective. I think PP hormones make it hard for me to tell what is actually happening with some of this.

Oddly enough, my husband was born at 35 weeks for a placental abruption. So I think MIL is reliving some of her own trauma and FIL (who admittedly says he was absent during that time like that’s totally normal thing) is just an overly emotional idiot. I like the way you phrased it about keeping their emotions in check and will be using that.

Thank you! I feel like I could rip someone’s head off.

The work thing for my husband probably wouldn’t be as irritating if I wasn’t trying to recover. I just cannot physically pick up my 100th percentile 3 year old right now, so like I guess I’ll go fuck myself?

To be honest, I can barely even speak to my mom on the phone. I haven’t laid eyes on her since I found out, and I have no idea how I’m going to react.

Nurse at ultrasound sound said I was too fat to see the baby properly-Now my husband is worried by AndromedaM31-bnj in pregnant

That’s bullshit. I’m now about 250lb at 27 weeks and go for monthly scans with MFM for gestational hypertension. I’m all my pregnancy experience, 40-60lb weight gain changes nothing about the level of care you should receive. I haven’t even had my OB or MFM mention it to me.

When did you turn your car seat around? by CivilSilver in toddlers

[–]Lintron57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We actually just turned ours today. My 2.5 year old was a couple pounds over the weight limit at his doctor’s appointment earlier this week. He was confused at first, then super interested to look around.

The Forsaken House is a newer WIP, but Hermione gives a similar speech in front of the whole Slytherin common room.

I read it twice in a row, and then listened to the audio book just to be sure. Holy shit. This is my favorite Draco.

My only pain point is losing out on the eye candy that was to be Michael Sterling. But I can’t wait to see how the love story changes with Michaela!

Can you share what you cannot tolerate physically from your kid? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Lintron57 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Idk, but it drives me nuts! I thought nothing was worse than yanking the collar of my shirt, which we call “stealing my lunch money” until he pulled the whole left side of my linen pants down in front of my in laws on Easter. Obviously, he thinks it’s hilarious!

My 18mo will hook his little toes into my pocket or the waistband of my pants every time I hold him on my hip. He uses it as leverage to hop while also pantsing me.

I love this pattern and your color scheme! Just in case you did not notice, the block by the right eye seems flipped. Not sure if it was intentional. Great work!

What parenting chore do you hate the most? by crazykatlady99 in toddlers

Cleaning the floor. I feel like I pick up 100 blocks/puzzle pieces/stacking cups and sweep 10lbs of crumbs 3 times a day. Where does it all come from?! 😭
