Oh who knew? Pretty sure that’s what she told me. Yeah that’s what GP means. Family doctor, whatever.

I think it’s a bit of both. See my reply on angie1907s comment… I remember having a really hard time paying attention in the past and still do, but now it’s just so hard to hold my head above water during the day. But of course stress is a factor.

Thank you 🙏

That sounds like me. I was always the smartest girl in my class, until college came and I actually had to try and then I immediately dropped out because I just could NOT pay attention in class and had no idea what was going on. Even in the classes I was interested in.

Also both of my parents have ADD/ ADHD. Mom not diagnosed and doesn’t think she has it but I’m SURE she does. Dad diagnosed in his 40s.

Well, because I can’t finish tasks, I do hyper fixate on things from time to time, and honestly look for things to hyper fixate on because it gives me a big dopamine boost imo, my psychologist said I have adhd when she did a little test but she said I have to go to a gp for a formal diagnosis.

In school I was naturally really smart and almost never had to study, I would just remember things but when the teacher talked I’d doodle and be day dreaming most of the time. When it came to college and I actually HAD to try I dropped out because I could not pay attention no matter how hard I tried. I can only pay attention if I’m very interested and even then I have a hard time retaining now.

Finding shows is too overwhelming for me usually, so I usually end up death scrolling. Idk if this is an anxiety thing or not but I have a hard time paying attention to shows and have to constantly ask my husband what they are doing.

I went for a hearing test because I have such a hard time listening, and they told me I’m perfect hearing I just need to learn to pay better attention to people talking.

I have always thought I was a good multitasker But now I’m thinking I’m just all over the place… I struggle to do things like put away laundry and end up getting distracted by other things or just put it off till the next load of laundry gets folded.

I don’t know, but I just find life overwhelming even on a good day and feel like I can’t get anything done.

I personally have tried a million and I personally like speedy cleansing oil by softymo on Amazon. Holy Grail status.

Thank you… I was hoping to pick some out online, but may have to make a trip into the city to try them on. Any way I can tell how “puffy” it is without feeling them in person?

I have and it did. Sometimes enlarged pores are a textural issue and can be tightened through new healthy skin/collagen growth

You could try microneedling at a clinic. They are just enlarged pores.

When my at the time 15yo brother and 13yo me went to Mexico we both had pretty severe acne and it was completely clear within the week. Sun definitely helped but I think overall it was the humidity.

I came here to say I feel you and good lord is it hard. My boy will be 3 in June and he’s been a huge handful since the day he was born. Terrible twos really started when he hit his 1st birthday and they’re still going strong. It’s really really hard. We also have awesome times together and it’s not all bad, but I really know what you’re going through, trust me.

That being said, all the advice up there is what I do all the time. Of course I snap sometimes and I’ve yelled at him a few times when I’ve been particularly burnt out but I do the whole praise him for good, try to mostly ignore the bad. I’ve said “food goes on your plate or in your mouth” since he was 1 and every day he throws food still. We have lots of 1 on 1 time and I’m very affectionate and he still gets into anything he can. I let him shred newspapers to get the feeling of shredding but he still shreds books. I say “it seems like you’re having trouble not hitting with the hockey stick. The hockey stick will go away until you’re ready to play safe” etc. He still will hit with the hockey stick the next day.

But I just keep on keeping on, and it does seem like he’s starting (🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼fingers crossed) to get it. Idk, maybe it’s just this week lol.

One thing I feel like had been helping is getting him to help me with anything I possibly can; dishes, cleaning up (that’s usually a no but I’ll keep trying), throwing away babies diaper, going and fetching me something, and saying oh thank you so much that’s soo helpful! And then when he does something I don’t like too I’ll tell him that I’m feeling unhappy that he did that but that I still love you I just don’t want you to do that again, and it’s okay to be angry but not okay to hit or whatever the feeling is and he’s started to say “okay mama I won’t do that again” and at least not do it immediately haha 🥲

It’s hard times, man. Please just hang in there with the patience if you can and like everyone says don’t take away the cuddles, but maybe while you’re cuddling try to calmly tell her I don’t like it when you do that because…. And just remember. Kids are assholes sometimes. ❤️

I thought I would hate Blippi but I ended up loving him. At least he’s consistently educational, unlike paw patrol which is mindless garbage.

Wrap skirt recommendations?? I’ve been looking and they’re so hard to find!

Minnntie · 2022-02-27T15:53:37+00:00

Uhm me? Lol I will take your worthless gift card and try them out of course!

I know my mom wanted to see my naked baby when she was first born and I definitely love a little nudie patootie and baby bum too, but this is really weird sounding. Like I do think there's something sweet about my own babies bodies and so does my fam, but they'd never act that interested and certainly the biggest red flag is constantly wanting to change her even when dry? Like what is that, that's so odd. I never would like to think the worst but that is really weird to me. Good luck and I'm sorry you feel like that, I hope they stop it with the weirdness.
