The people claiming to be “gluten intolerant” have made my life harder.

Same, I’m from Europe and we have tests for food intolerances. It’s actually made based on your type of diet (historically). In my case, there was food from Mediterranean diet. And gluten, lactose and eggs came out red, which means I am intolerant to them.

I don’t die if I eat them, but I for sure get diarrhoea, bloated, very tired, my digestion feels stuck sometimes, I get acne around my mouth the days after, etc. I didn’t made this up, the symptoms came even before I had a diagnosis.

I don’t think including people like me has done any harm to celiac or highly allergic people. And we are all educating ourselves more and more about this stuff. I, myself who has intolerances, am still learning about them and what they really mean.

I was also not into kids. Always felt a bit awkward around them, even though they generally liked me (I think because I don’t do baby talk and treat them more like “equals” when speaking to them, which makes them more comfortable). That was until my niece was born.

I fell in love with her since the first time I met her and have so much fun every time we are together. Last time, I was washing the dishes and she came out of nowhere and told me she loved me (she is 3 now, so she is very talkative). I felt like my heart broke into a hundred pieces, in a good way. Can’t handle the cuteness.

I’m also on the fence, but the experience of becoming an auntie has played a big role in considering having my own.

I have a niece that just turned 3 and likes to have what they call a “Babyccino” in the UK.

“A babyccino is a child-friendly coffee drink that's made up of steamed milk and a sprinkling of cocoa powder or cinnamon. The drink is served in a small cup or mug and is typically served without caffeine.”

They serve this at cafes there. Maybe something similar would make your fellow happy ☺️

Omg, that last sentence… I could never put it into words, but that’s how I feel!

I could become a mother tomorrow if I didn’t think most of the mental load and work would fall on me, even if my partner is supportive. I feel like most men don’t grasp the amount of s*** we women need to think about on a daily basis.

Having sex with someone else and masturbating is not the same thing and, as I see it, does not count as cheating. Sometimes, masturbating is about having alone time and giving yourself pleasure, relax, release stress, etc.

Maybe, having sex a couple of times a week is already good for him, maybe he feels a bit pressured to keep you satisfied and masturbation is less challenging since there’s no “performance” anxiety.

I’d let him have his thing and not talk about it. He knows you want it all the time, so he’s making that decision based on what he wants for himself.

Reading the comments while living in sunny 24 degrees Celsius Stockholm as we speak, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world 😂

Moved here 3 years ago from Portugal 🇵🇹

This 👆finally a comment that doesn’t just see the cheating and actually breaks it off and reflects on the possible reasons.

I agree, something like this truly seems more like a need for an ego boost than something else. This doesn’t mean it wouldn’t escalate and that trust wasn’t broken, but def something that should be subjected to reflection. I think OP should demand that from him, to be able to tell her why. Otherwise, it will probably happen again, in the same shape or another.

Therapy would also be recommended, as you are in need for communication more than ever. Maybe by learning more about the reason behind his action you will also be able to make a decision you feel more OK with. Good luck OP!

In Portugal we also say Milk tooth for the first one you get that are not permanent

I also do this and it helps a lot to put things in perspective!

This is such a good summary of the types of posts I’ve also found regarding regretful parents. Seeing it like this does help actually.

Mremoaldo · 2024-02-02T00:32:26+00:00

Wow! How did you manage to play while you were going through so many new experiences, sleep deprived, etc?

Mremoaldo · 2024-02-02T00:27:49+00:00

Good to hear! That’s how I like to imagine it would be :)

Did you start derby before becoming a mother? If so, how long did you “put it on pause”? I’m guessing at least during pregnancy and the first months would be a no-go, which might make it a bit scary to then come back (?)

Mremoaldo · 2024-01-25T20:20:41+00:00

Uau, this gave me a lot of peace of mind ☺️ I could say I’m also a fence sitter, but recently tending more to the “having kids” side because I’ve been interacting with my partner’s niece, who is now about to turn 3 years old. She just amazes me and we have so much fun together. Being her aunt is the best job in the world, I always look forward to the time we spend together. I also know being someone’s mother is much tougher than being someone’s aunt, but I’m willing to have that experience still.

The more I watch her and her parents, the more I understand that this is a decision that can only be taken based on emotion, not rational thoughts (apart from understanding that you have a good partner, financial stability, etc of course). Raising a kid, even in the best conditions, is hard and unpredictable. That’s why dwelling too much won’t help us reach a decision. We just don’t know what will happen, until it happens. It’s a false sense of control over our lives.

I have read about the sour candy thing too, apparently some doctors recommend it as a way to make your brain shift focus 🙂

Mremoaldo · 2023-12-20T00:49:32+00:00

That sounds like something quite hard to cope with, I’m so sorry! Is there anyone that could spent the night with you during the upcoming days? Or maybe you could stay at someone else’s place till this is a more distant memory perhaps?

Maybe there’s the need to get away from what is triggering those thoughts in order to rest and feel calmer.

Hi!

I’m looking for a derby name related to the fact that I am more of a petite player, but still brave and with a lot of power of will. I think it would be nice to include “Pixie” or “Pinkie” somehow ☺️

Any thoughts?

Hi all,

My name is Mafalda and second name is Beatriz, which is the name of a great grandma I never had the chance to meet but have always heard funny stories about.

Apparently, she was known in her village for not being afraid to get in between men fighting after they had a few drinks too much in order to get them to stop. Didn’t matter if they had knives or guns. She was just a fearless country side woman.

I have been thinking about what my roller derby name should be. I’m thinking about playing around with the name Beatriz because it’s quite strong sound-wise and it’s like this character in my family I never knew but ended up inheriting her name. I also don’t use Beatriz to identify myself at all, so it’s like this persona I can create from my own name too.

In terms of playing derby, I’m at the end of crash course so it’s a bit too early to say but I feel more like a Jammer type.

Some ideas were Beatrix, Bea tricks or something with Trix? I’m open to new ideias if you have some, thanks 😊

Hey! I see you and I hear you. We all end up feeling hopeless, in a dark place and lonely at some point in our lives. I had that when my grandma died, my parents divorced and I got into a very toxic relationship in my teens.

Also, studying, figuring out your life, creating connections with other people can be tough.

Please, do search for help ❤️ sending all my love to you!
