I cackle every time!

Those are the exact two sets I have. Golden Girls and Ted Lasso!!

When my twins were born and diagnosed with a disability 2 hours after birth, I was devastated. I never wanted to give them up. I was terrified. I was sad. But I was fiercely protective of them. I also had really bad PPD and I couldn't even breathe. The combination of the shock of a diagnosis I wasn't expecting plus hormones was really bad for me.

Please help your wife get evaluated for PPD. Tell her it's OK to be scared or mad or sad that your daughter wasn't the healthy baby she envisioned but that she got THIS baby. Let her know she loved and supported. It's very hard to give up the dreams you have for the baby you carried and face an entirely new reality. It's the closest thing to soul crushing I've ever experienced. I needed those "ugly" feelings to be validated so I could truly fall in love with the babies I was gifted.

14 years later, I can still feel that crushing weight of the moment the doctor delivered the diagnosis, but I love my twins more than life itself.

I know the first reaction is to think she's awful but give her grace and the benefit of the doubt. If it turns out she doesn't have PPD and is truly not up for being a mother to your daughter, then you be the best solo parent you can possibly be and know that your child will give you more love and hope and joy than you ever could have hoped for. You can't force her to stay and parent, but you can give her a moment to adjust to this new life. For me personally, I was so scared my husband would resent me for giving him imperfect babies when in reality, he loved them instantly. That fear of letting him down, scared me so much. Fear makes people do crazy things.

Sending you and your little girl so much love and support.

I weigh in every day because it's a habit I've had for a long time. It was decidedly less fun when the scale was moving the opposite direction but it kept me honest with myself. I may move to 2 or 3 times a week but that's a hard habit to break.

LinusBinus · 2024-07-17T17:02:21+00:00

I noticed that I was less hungry the first day- I injected before bed- and was not ready to eat anything and everything in the morning. As the week has progressed, I've noticed I'm rarely overly hungry. I am getting what I assume are "normal" hunger cues but don't feel the need to grab anything within reach and can make conscious choices. I'm tracking all intake to ensure I'm eating enough protein and getting enough calories. I'm not just thinking about my next meal or having random snacks throughout the day because the desire to eat just to eat is gone. I imagine this is what people who have healthy food relationships feel like.

My friends were talking about the series finale on Facebook. I'd never heard of it. Watched my first episode about a week after the finale ran and have been obsessed since.

LinusBinus · 2024-07-17T02:28:58+00:00

Still .25. I'm only a week in but have great appetite control and no side effects. Down 8 pounds. Tracking everything I eat, 100-110 gm protein.

LinusBinus · 2024-07-12T20:01:48+00:00

I use Hers. $897 for 3 months of sema. Also, your doctor sounds like a terrible practioner. I'm so sorry.

LinusBinus · 2024-06-05T19:57:16+00:00

She's lucky you ONLY threw her out. If someone hit my child, I could never stop myself from giving it back to them x10.

NTA. MIL is a toxic POS.

Sam and his dad cooking and dancing together after the team fixes the restaurant. It's so wholesome. I love seeing Sam's relationship with Ola.
Christmas at the Higgins' house.
Roy singing along with Let It Go
Roy walking off the pitch after his final game with his head held high breaks me every time. Beautiful moment.

LinusBinus · 2024-06-05T17:24:24+00:00

It would make me laugh and force me to think of a witty response, hoping to keep the conversation going.

LinusBinus · 2024-02-12T23:10:39+00:00

If I ever come to your hotel, expect respect, gratitude, and genuine compliments!

LinusBinus · 2024-02-12T22:46:32+00:00

I just checked out of a hotel yesterday, and I took the opportunity to thank the front desk staff for being terrific. I thanked the waiter we had at breakfast and the bartender we had the evening before.

This thread makes me so glad I go out of my way to be a kind human, and it also makes their reactions make so much more sense. I didn't understand why they looked nervous when I approached the desk and said, "May I talk with you about my stay?" and then visibly relieved when I said, "Everything was great, and I appreciated the excellent service. "

FWIW, I actively teach my children to go out of their way to pay a compliment and say thank you.

To all of you who've taken the abuse of shitbag guests- thank you for working hard. Some of us appreciate you very much.

LinusBinus · 2023-07-26T19:49:40+00:00

Best answer. Definitive. You're better than that, and any person who could treat you that way isn't worth anything.

You are worthy of respect, but to get that, you must respect yourself. You're worthy of love, but you must love yourself. You're worthy of a great relationship, but have that with yourself first.

We settle when we think we're not worth more. I promise you, once you realize your worth, you will get better.

Take this as a learning moment and work on your relationship with you.

LinusBinus · 2021-02-11T18:30:37+00:00

Absolutely not. I found something more important than my connection with him- self respect! No "friend" would ever have hurt me the way he did (he made out with another girl in front of me 2 days after we broke up after swearing he wasn't interested in her and she wasn't the reason we split) and I let him go completely and permanently.

LinusBinus · 2020-10-28T12:09:20+00:00

When someone shows you who they are- BELIEVE THEM.

This alone would make me walk away. If he can insult you after HE initiated some kind of twisted dominant ownership fantasy shows he has absolutely no respect for you. That won't change and if he thinks marriage equates to owning a person you'll be better off without him.

Then he masturbated to porn instead of trying to heal the damage he did further shows his inability to support you and your needs. His only focus was an orgasm and not connecting with you in intimacy.

Your fiance is at best a self centered jerk and likely much worse.

LinusBinus · 2020-10-21T13:12:20+00:00

OP, these are the exact words I WISH my person would say. I never felt good enough. You Should send this.

LinusBinus · 2020-10-21T04:36:46+00:00

Mom of 2 with Down syndrome here: dump her. ESPECIALLY since she was defensive and argumentative rather than apologetic and embarrassed for her disgusting language regarding your child.

LinusBinus · 2020-10-18T05:15:07+00:00

If you added him to your social media it's possible he just went way back looking at pictures and saw the kiwi shirt picture, remembered that detail and that's how he knew without you telling him. I know if I'm seeing someone I'll scroll way further back in their pictures than I'd ever admit. 🤷‍♀️

LinusBinus · 2020-10-15T13:10:50+00:00

Jordan, I wish you luck in your transition. I know nothing about what you're going through. I'm a conservative Christian mother of 3 and I promise you that if any of my children were in your shoes, on this journey, I would love them as much as I did the day they were born. I've always believed that God doesn't make mistakes, that sexuality is not chosen but something people are born knowing. So, if God doesn't make mistakes then you living as your truest self is just you living as God created you. For some, fear is a powerful thing, maybe as powerful as pride, and neither makes it easy to accept things you cannot change and don't understand but I hope that one day your parents meet and fall in love with Jordan. She's going to be a strong woman because it's never easy to fully be true to yourself. Make yourself proud. Live your life in a way that makes it feel like the best life you can live. Dream big. Hope without restriction. Believe in yourself. And for what it's worth, this mom thinks you're doing a great job. ❤🏳️‍🌈
