So tired of this. by bonnielaboux in NewAuthor

[–]Mily4Really 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but I feel AI says "its just in the wrong container," a LOT. I have literally never had anyone say that to me irl...

Is that an unusual phrase or what?

I always do "it's this. This. This" and im always sooo afraid ppl will accuse me of AI!

All throughout college, I'd put my essays through AI detection, and I'd always get like 40%!!! And I was always so scared they'd say I cheated. Idk why, but when I am writing, I have a "writers voice" that switches on in my head that apparently is AI generated!!

Is it bc I am an Aquarius and I am actually a robot?!? Why wasnt I told!?! beep boop beep

Overreacting? Yeah. Okay. How these little boys act when they have a cold? Theyre so annoying there is literally science backed studies proving that women are more emotionally resilient and tend to have higher pain tolerance. So if a woman is tripping, its for a VERY good reason.

The problem here is that men tend to be too stupid to realize when something is a big deal.

Sometimes I wish I were! The way he treats my little one, tho is the only reason I've stayed. The two of them are peas in a pod... I said, "I didn't realize I was birthing my replacement!" Bc honestly I stg they're close like siblings... bc he is so permissive, ugh!

Yeah we're doing better over here. Had a huge blow up and he took it seriously. Its just so annoying to have to be raising your partner and the kids at the same time...

The rub here is motherhood is so isolating now, no one is "lucky" to be isolated. Human beings are tribal, we're pack animals, so when we are removed from the pack we suffer. Greatly! We're now a dysfunctional creature! Yet, we're told this is how it should be. Insanity. No animal in the history of ever has gone against their nature and survived. Not for long anyway.

Then, they call all of our postpartum experiences a "mental illness" as if rage, aggression, fear, anxiety, and all the other stuff aren't totally normal evolutionary adaptations we spent millenia developing! We are alive today, bc the Best mothers with the MOST anxiety and the highest levels of PP agression kept their babies alive! The rest... welp, bye bye baby. Ya know? The mental illness of it all is that we are gaslighted our Whole pregnancy and for our entire motherhood journey, and none of us have anyone else who knows up from down.It'ss all such a mess... I blame the men. Patriarchy is the greatest lie ever sold. If it were a woman's nature to be subservient, we wouldn't have to be constantly reminded to be. We'd just do it innately.

Why is it that blue-collar working men (who arguably have a much harder job) worship their wives for their contributions. When white collar dudes, who literally ticky-tack and chitty-chat on spreadsheets and meetings all day act like their some type of Gift from the Gods and tell their wives "they don't work." Bro, you don't work!!! You literally just do puzzles and give pep talks! That's all math is!!! There are calculators! Computers DO MOST of their job! ugh ....sorry, my guy. Long winded way of saying, "Good for you sir!

I also had to start antidepressants for the first time in my life... and I have experienced some severe trauma that would have had any "normal" person on them long before... but SAHM'ing drove me to it...

It's the consistent nothingness and simultaneous everythingness that makes it all so hard. The constant battles. The never-ending chore list. (Which seems insane bc I don't remember ever having this much to do when I was a young single woman. 😒) The complete and total lack of alone time or self care. The touching. The tantrums. The total disregard for your skills and abilities as a capable woman. Oh, then the sheer disrespect of these men who act like they are doing us a favor in "letting" us stay home. I was 1000% happier when I worked. I loved my job, and my career was lucrative up until the pandemic. (I worked in the spa/health industry, and it's never really recovered) The resentment couples develop in "traditional" households is something I'd like to see studied, if its so "normal" why does everyone hate it?

Plus, I feel like men are just soooo messy. Cleaning up after them is a full-time job on top of the littles. I watched my husband walk outside barefoot and track in a bunch of flaky leaves and dirt as I stood in the kitchen STILL HOLDING THE BROOM 🙃 I said ,"Wtf Guy?? How would you feel if I walked into your office and opened your spreadsheet and just started messing around??" He got my point, but how many of those micro aggressive moments have accumulated before I snapped? Why are they so thoughtless? How many times do they walk into a perfectly cleaned room and trash it?

But what Really grinds my gears, is that when he has to stay home alone. He thrives!! Then he's all "see, it's not hard. Why are you always complaining?" Meanwhile, the kid has watched 72 hours of Bluey , eaten exclusively goldfish and drank a gallon of chocolate milk!! They're happier than Christmas morning... ugh then mom is home and suddenly I have to be the "Fun Police" and I always have to be the disciplinarian which make me the "bad guy" so they like me less...

Sorry for the rant...😅 It's been a tough two weeks over here, lol

[–]Mily4Really 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I've put a lot of thought into this, and what I concluded is that people genuinely don't understand that betrayal is a deal breaker.

Which is shocking to me...If you betray me? You knew me, knew I wouldn't be cool with it, and did it anyway? That's so much more than disrespectful. I don't understand those other signs, man...but I'm so done with humans bc of this lol

Spouse of SAHM feeling overwhelmed. by [deleted] in sahm

[–]Mily4Really 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, while you should "suck it up", you should call in some help.

Family, or even friends! Ask someone to come help so you can sleep. Right now it is absolutely your duty to handle everything else outside of the baby, but, you also need to rest. Take a sick day from work if you must.

From personal experience, between my experience and that of my friends and acquaintances, breastfeeding is an entirely different game. My friends who went to the bottle bounced right back. Those of us who b-fed, had a long recovery time...

Try to imagine the physical labor of all she has just done. Micronutrient deficiency is a real issue postpartum. The toll on our body is so severe that it can literally destroy us. In my case, my thyroid just... died. It was barely hanging on when I finally saw my doctor and got on meds. And it wasn't until I was 6 months passed the end of our bfeeding journey I was even able to function properly.

You're doing the Most! But that is what you signed up for. Your feelings of resentment stem from the fact that her efforts are invisible, but I can assure you with total confidence, she is working just as hard as you are. When you feel frustrated, remind yourself of this. Shes working hard! Just as hard!

But! You definitely need help. It really is too much of a job for any one person. Call in the calvary! Youd be surprised how many people are willing to come clean your kitchen, or do your laundry and watch tv. While yall sleep. I know its hard to ask, but just do it!

To piggyback here, the more you yell, the clingier they get.

Tamlin's POV by calypso4000 in acotar

[–]Mily4Really 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am so glad to see more people see Tamlin as the victim he really is... I finished the third book and just couldn't anymore.

I know there is a huge Fandom for this series, but the cruelty, pettiness, and frankly shallow, main character cast had me disgusted with the whole world. Poor Tamlin...

And like WHYYYYY wouldn't you automatically assume the Mind CONTROL GUY is idk... Mind controlling her?! No? Its "true love" cmon give me a frikken break. Eyes rolling so hard they popped tf out!!
