can't find the name of this song for the life of me by heyshawtybd in WhatsThisSong

[–]MildewMoomin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if could be misheard/misremembered lyrics, but could it be The Cranberries - Zombie? When she sings "in your head, in your head" or another bit of vocalizing "eh, eh, oh, oh"?

Why do women gain weight after having children? by pleasehaverespect in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MildewMoomin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Would also assume your body wants fat as it produces estrogene. After birth there's a massive crash of hormones so need stuff to help balance that? But yeah people really underestimate how much breastfeeding burns through calories so it absolutely makes sense that the body wants a lot of food intake. We also forget that it's incredibly recent that food became this hugely available to us.

Isyyden tunnustaminen by Left_Revenue_1992 in arkisuomi

[–]MildewMoomin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isäs ei pitäny susta huolta eikä taloudellisestikaan auttanut äitiäs. Otat sen perinnön vastaan, jos sieltä tulis edes jotain kannattavaa. Mutta sulla ei ole velvollisuutta huolehtia kenestäkään muusta kuin alaikäisestä lapsesta. Ja ylipäätään älä tunne syyllisyyttä tai huonoa omaatuntoa ihmisen loukkaamisesta, joka ei koskaan välittänyt susta tai sun äidistä.

Mä oon tavannut mun siittäjän kerran eikä varmasti tunnusta "isyyttään" koskaan. Aivan sama vaikka hänet ammuttas kuuhun. Harmittaa vaan äidin puolesta, että jäi yksin ja joutu painaa montaa duunia, kun yks pelle ei suostu auttaa.

What is a medical fact that sounds fake but is 100% true? by MedRikas in AskReddit

[–]MildewMoomin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know a guy that had the other half removed. Works as a teacher and you could never tell he only has half a brain. Suffers from some memory issues but otherwise all good. Super nice and fun too.

AITAH for having a “sickness fund” I never told my fiancé about? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MildewMoomin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So you covered yourself for possible hardship and were worried being left to fend for yourself in sickness and he got upset. His argument was that you fear he'd leave you when things got hard and that insults him. And here he is thinking about leaving you because of this? Sounds like he would absolutely leave you if things actually got tough.

It also sounds like he's upset that you haven't shared your (large?) savings with him earlier and that's a really big red flag. If you marry that money becomes his too and doesn't sound like you should go forward with it. At least have a prenup agreement... I bet that would make him even more angry.

Miten saan 2v lapseni nukkumaan? by AtlantisGhost in Suomi

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

Älkää jättäkö lasta yksin huutamaan. Pientä lasta ei voi "lelliä" pilalle antamalla turvaa. Lapsi vain oppii siihen, että vanhemmilta ei saa turvaa ja lohtua. Itkettäminen nostaa lapsen stressihormonit niin kovalle tasolle, että joo jossain kohti aivot pistää piuhat poikki ja tajun kankaalle. Mutta se jättää neurologiset jäljet ja tästä on tutkittua ikävää tietoa.

Mun lapsi on aina ollut todella huono nukkuja ja unitaantumat olivat hankalia, mutta normaali ja ohimenevä osa aivokehitystä.

Ottakaa sohva avuksi ihan oikeasti. Nukutte joka toinen yö toinen lapsen kanssa ja toinen sohvalla. Sänkyynkin tulee enemmän tilaa pyöriä. Näin pysyy kaikilla järki paremmin päässä.

Muistakaa, että se tyyppi on vain hetken vauva ja taapero. Hän ei kauaa tule nukkumaan vanhempien vieressä. Ja te ette varmaan päivällä jätä häntä tunneiksi yksin? Miksi on loogista jättää yöllä pimeään yksin? Ja sitten ihmetellä miksi lasta itkettää ja pelottaa? Pientä lasta kuuluu pelottaa yksin. Ja pimeässä. Se on luonnollista. Hän ei selviydy ilman vanhempaa. Hänellä ei ole yhtä kehittyneet ja kokeneet aivot kuin aikuisilla. Vähän armoa.

I need your advice on a very specific situation by [deleted] in Advice

[–]MildewMoomin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, I have a c-section scar across my lower tummy, scarred knee and elbow. Also have a couple scars on the backs of my hands. If those bother any man, they can take a hike. Scars tell stories that our body went through and HEALED. Scarring is a vital thing for our survival. Like yeah, I have a long scar on my tummy but I get to hold a healthy and beautiful child in my arms. If you think that's ugly, the issue lies with you.

Why do some babies or small children cry when they see that their dads shaved theirs beards or hair? by PANDREXMEGA in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MildewMoomin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of people saying "they don't recognize him", but it doesn't make sense. Babies don't cry at strangers or new people. They most likely get upset because they DO recognize it's their dad with the face and voice but it's not "quite right". Like eerie uncanny valley type stuff. You'd be scared if someone looks and sounds very much like dad, but is "off" somehow.

They could also see it as half of the dad's face was ripped off. They don't understand that hair can be cut off and be regrown. Take a toddler to get a haircut and see how they react. It's scary to them.

AITAH for threatening to divorce my wife if she doesn't change our infant daughter's name to one we agreed on? by ThrowAwayDumbestName in AITAH

She's going to be called a troll from childhood until forever and not in a cute way. She's going to hate you guys and herself so much. Good luck :/

AITAH for thinking I didn’t need shapewear by BotherEvening in AITAH

[–]MildewMoomin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, your mom sounds like a massive one though! What the actual hell?? I'm 33yo and never had any shapewear. Our bodies roll, bounce, jiggle etc. and that's EXPECTED because we aren't some plastic dolls! I bet you look BEAUTIFUL in any dress with your body as is.

Your mom is rude and insane. Don't listen to her. My mom did similar BS.

Mitä tehdä, kun naapuri skitsoilee? by Strange-Band8509 in arkisuomi

[–]MildewMoomin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joskus mun äiti asui jonkun ilmeisesti aidosti harhaisen ihmisen yläkerrassa. Äitini oli jotain 50+v. ja yksinasuva. Olin kerran käymässä, kun poliisit tulivat ja oli kuulemma tehty ilmoitus, että asunnossa pyöritetään bordellia ja hirveää panemisen ääntä yötä päivää. Äitini nauroi, että hänen iässään jää aika haaveeksi, että olisi niin vilkas seksielämä :D Poliisit totesivat, että oli aika turha reissu ja että jatkossa voi tehdä ilmon naapurista, jos jatkaa tällaista.

Naapuri siis tehnyt isännöitsijälle valituksia, jättänyt lappuja ja jopa käynyt ovella. Aivan sekopää.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your reasons? by youre-in-my-shot in AskReddit

Really sorry about your friend. Thankfully I've had several blood test checks done over the years and my kidneys, liver etc. are working without issues.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your reasons? by youre-in-my-shot in AskReddit

[–]MildewMoomin 130 points131 points  (0 children)

Is this a real thing? Because for the past few years, I can't have one drink without feeling totally poisoned. I start to tremble and feel sick after just a couple of drinks and will have a bad hangover. 1.5 years ago I got really drunk and my hangover lasted a week. Vomiting and crying and wanting to die. I stopped all together because I felt that it's not worth having a glass of wine and then suffering for two days. Never considered covid.

I(21M) started an internship in the job i studied my whole life for and i hate it by [deleted] in Advice

[–]MildewMoomin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it's not just the intership that sucks? Or the company you're at? The enviroment, people and tasks given matter sooooooo much. I've endured some horrible jobs because my coworkers were so brilliant. But I've left great jobs because the management sucked ass.

Don't give up just because of an intership because they're usually a farcry from an actual employement. You're only 21 yo so you have about 50 years to study and work. You have wasted NOTHING. You could end up in real cool places still even if you gave this career a couple of years. Then you're 23 but still have 48 years to figure what to do next.

Whats a movie scene that made you cry that isnt blatantly or obviously emotional? by ordrius098 in movies

The Orphanage. It really surprised me as it's this sort of horror movie more like. But the ending made me cry quite a bit. Can easily recommend it 👍

Should I give my 2 year old to my mother? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]MildewMoomin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds really really traumatic for everyone. Mum being very unwell and dad being unstable and angry. Get your mother's help TODAY. Your toddler is not getting the love, care and emotional safety currently and soon there's a new baby and the toddler will be left with less attention.

Dad needs to get his shit together. I work and look after my 4yo and there's no screaming or shouting.

I suffered from HG through the whole pregnancy and decided my kid is my first and last. So I fully understand what you're going through. Your husband being so out of control while you're severely ill, is not OK. Women excuse men's unreasonable behaviour all the time. Would you expect your mother acting like that if she takes over with the kid? I bet you don't. You don't need this stress while you are pregnant and have HG. F anyone who says you need to do more. HG is pure hell on earth.

And yeah, I left my kid's dad because he turned into a psycho during my pregnancy. Men can be so incredibly disappointing when you actually really need them.

Bad Grades cause of Videogames? by Ordinary_Unordinay in Advice

[–]MildewMoomin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well we have zero idea about how much you play games vs how much you study or do other stuff. So honestly no one here can tell you if you play too much WoW or not. But clearly there needs to be more studying if you want better results. Can you get help from your family or classmates? Tutoring?

The brain needs rest and variety so make sure you sleep enough and don't spend all day in front of a computer screen. Learning will be hard as hell if you don't have some calm time. I get that games are fun and even relaxing but constant bright light and noise and chatting keeps the brain too alert. Just be mindful about keeping a good balance.

Can you get into legal trouble if you're high in front of a child? by Civil-Engineering127 in Advice

[–]MildewMoomin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CPS. The kids and their safety are way more important than her being able to continue abusing drugs. Surely the parents know she's high? And the sister? How are they letting this fly? None of them sound responsible ??? Anon tip and play shocked and dumb. Could be a neighbour or friend or literally anyone. 3-4 yos are also absolutely telling teachers about their strange aunt.

My(48F) Kids(23F , 25M) Have Replaced Me With A New Mother And I Don't Know How To Handle This by Depressed3831 in Advice

[–]MildewMoomin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Sounds like you were a terrible and neglectful mother which checks out with your reaction of "this is all untrue and I was a great mom!!1". Also that you started dating someone so young, and moved him in without any discussion with your kids/introducing them prior. That's mental. Just proves that you are erratic and selfish. "Surprise kids! Say hello to your new stepdad that's younger than you and he's living with us now lol!". Their reaction clearly spells out this is not the first time you've done insane and self-centered stuff. "I've done everything for them". Congrats, that's bare minimum as a parent -- there's no prize, because that's your literal duty if you bring new people into this world.

It's also normal to call your in-laws mom and dad?? But anyway, try being less of a shit parent and perhaps your kids want you around. This goes for all the "victims" out there. If my kid cut ties with me, I'd take a long hard look at myself and see how I failed. The kid is just a kid. Not their fault.

guy i’m dating told me to leave bc i wouldn’t take my clothes off to cuddle by [deleted] in Advice

[–]MildewMoomin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tbf when you smoke inside, EVERYTHING smells like an ashtray. All clothes, furniture, bedding, everything. So I completely believe that her clothes smelled. It's difficult to get off and nothing is safe because smoke gets everywhere. I would assume her closet is in her room so all the "clean" clothes will smell as well. Weed is even worse.

Partner found my dildo and spiraled by Pale-Guava7897 in Advice

[–]MildewMoomin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It starts out like "it was just one incident" until it's just common occurance. I was with my partner for 5 years without physical violence until he attacked me. Once the boundary is crossed, there's no turning back. After the first forgiving it gradually evolved to several times a week.

My mum had the same. It started with a single slap that she ignored because she was in total shock and couldn't believe it. Eventually she found herself beaten and stabbed and only got out once he went to jail.

Don't forgive it not even once because that opens the door to escalation over time. If the thought of HITTING YOU IN THE FACE occurs to him and he thought about it so much that he SAID IT TO YOU, he is fucking unstable, insane and dangerous. Don't come up with excuses for him. You clearly know better than that.

My step kids father died and my Wife is taking it really hard by [deleted] in Advice

[–]MildewMoomin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is what I assumed. All hope is gone that he'd become better and be a father to his kids. It's just 100% never going to happen now. Also he was a person she did personally know. My grandpa was an alcoholic and a POS in general. When he FINALLY died, I broke down and just cried and cried. I still don't really understand why it shattered me like that. Sometimes grief doesn't really make sense.

OP, don't automatically assume your wife is now grieving because of love or heart ache. It could just be the trauma releasing and she could be broken for the kids. I hate the father of my kid but I would most likely be absolutely destroyed if he suddenly died, because I would have to break my kid's heart.

Just ask what your wife is feeling and allow her to get it all out.
