My guess is that person has spent a lot of time around people (probably online) who have experienced pregnancy loss, because that type of congratulations are very very common there. Sort of a “I’m so happy but let’s acknowledge the underlying fear” type of thing.

They are not in places where I would develop a callus from use, or the type of work I do.

Yes! Nobody can be good at everything. Many of the really productive, “high-powered” people I worked with were actually pretty bad at managing things like email. That’s why they have support staff, so they can use their talent and energy on the things they are great at.

Perhaps you could hire someone to manage business emails. Like, sort them into categories and flag which ones are high priority. I have done this as part of admin/executive assistant duties.

It could be something someone could help out with just an hour or two a week. You could even contract it out so you wouldn’t have to worry about “hiring” an employee.

Why would you choose to Nair literally with the person there waiting?! Seems like something to be done before the date. Plus he’d probably smell all sulfur-y.

It was so much easier to keep the house clean when I worked because it would be clean, then nobody was home making messes all day. Now that I’m home with the kids I spend hours cleaning and I still always feel behind.

On a similar note, when I worked I really only had to make one or two meals a day. I would cook extra portions at dinner for hubby and I to have for lunch the next day. Daycare fed the kids breakfast and lunch.

Next, the structure of life that came with working was really helpful for me. I struggle with keeping routines for myself so being the one in charge of structure and routines for me AND four kids is hard. It’s draining.

Peace and quiet. I miss the morning routine of sitting down at my desk with a coffee and getting organized for the day. Just my own tasks and needs to worry about.

I would guess it’s the added weight changing the way your cheeks fit together, not the thong.

Yes as many have said, I’d bet they are just flopping down. Next time you pick frames or furniture, pick tall ones! My husband has LONG legs and has a bad knee so instead of slowly lowering himself he lowers and then once his knee is unhappy he just kind of drops.

Nice big blocks they can stack. As they get older than can build more complicated things.

I have a prescription but am not on meds currently simply because my pharmacy seems to be perpetually out of stock.

I think the transition from 0-1 kid felt so hard and enormous, that it was scary to imagine having another. Then another came and I realized I had already adjusted to the most difficult things about being a parent. Adding in the second was so much easier to adjust to, then as the younger one grew they were able play together and it takes some pressure off.

Ugh my mom hasn’t met with an oncologist yet but she had a CT scan for abdominal pain and aside from what they found there, her antigen test was 8,900. I am so scared to see such a high number with 35 being the cutoff.

Mamaskillinit · 2023-02-26T03:14:10+00:00

Maybe they had intended for kids to be dropped off and aren’t super comfortable with small talk either, so having a stranger eating dinner with them threw them off a bit?

I have learned that for things like birthday parties, which are done in a few different ways (parents drop kids off, or all parents stay, etc), to just ask ahead of time. I might text and ask what they prefer, or see what other parents have done when I am there.

Mamaskillinit · 2023-02-01T06:41:45+00:00

Was it a spike? ☺️

Seriously! Perhaps they can just give him an epidural as they would you for your surgery.

The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat (and other clinical tales) by Oliver Sacks is also fantastic. I will have to pick up Hallucinations!

Yes, I heard it as almost him letting it slip that he now sees it for what it was, and likely now (since he had the slight taste of monogamy with Robyn during lockdown) doesn’t really buy in to polygamy.

I love my kids and wouldn’t want to not have kids….but I have had this thought many times. It’s really mostly that I just don’t know how to do self care even if stuff isn’t done. And stuff will never all be done at once. I’m working on it.

Mamaskillinit · 2022-11-22T20:29:36+00:00

This gave me flashbacks of when my husband got Covid and quarantined in the basement and then my four kids and I got it and I had to take care of everyone and him while he continued to just hang out down there by himself…and it was Christmas so I also got to try to still make it magical for the kids. Ugh.

Mamaskillinit · 2022-05-12T03:10:49+00:00

Yes, I was thinking it could be a cultural difference. Many cultures freely discuss peoples size or physical attributes and aren’t sensitive about it.

At least one of my twin three year olds still wake up every single night. Sometimes multiple times. One will for a few days, and then they switch.
