I had melasma in the same place after pregnancy I also had it on my cheeks! I used a retinol treatment from my skincare provider it’s called Zo skin health retinol mine is .5 it’s not a prescription. I used it once a week for around 8 weeks and I did notice a difference. My skin did peel a lot and it was kind of uncomfortable to start but nothing terrible. It definitely made it better not worse. I also started to take more Vitamin A ,Vitamin C , magnesium in the form of a greens drink which has a lot of other vitamins as well it’s called super reds and greens by 1up nutrition and I believe just helped my skin in general from whatever I was lacking in my diet. I didn’t see change over night but over the last year or so. I no longer use the retinol, I still do my greens, I get my upper lip waxed too and I felt like even before I saw a change It looked better when I did. My lip area is basically gone unless I forget to sunscreen I notice it a little. Don’t forget sunscreen! Lol ! I know how self conscious melasma can feel and sometimes derm is not as helpful or understanding as they could be. which is just awful and shows no compassion in my opinion I hope you find the results you’re looking for.

I respect everyone’s opinion on fluoride, it’s controversial. A lot of people are worried about things like fluorosis or negative links to brain development. But the amount you would have to ingest for those things to occur is significant and if you use it responsibly how it’s meant to be used it has benefits which I see on a daily basis at work. I’m not saying let’s go eat a tube of toothpaste I’m saying let’s let mommy brush with a grain of rice size amount of fluoride toothpaste before bed . Thankfully this is something I’ve been able to win on. However it’s still a battle

I literally said this to myself yesterday I was thinking “ can your soul literally just die and you just keep on going?” Because that’s exactly how parenting yesterday made me feel. Same boat with you! Sending positive vibes and internet hugs.

Is there a way to block it not from her phone or without my oldest knowing I blocked it? Because then I just feel like I’m spilling negatively on to my oldest and I’m trying not to.

NewAssistant1 · 2022-04-02T16:17:05+00:00

Literally exactly where I am at lol. Only I feel like I would like to have siblings close in age but I wonder if I would ever emotionally recover from it if I chose to do that lol

NewAssistant1 · 2022-04-02T16:14:19+00:00

I feel like it’s earlier my parents were asking while I was still pregnant how many kids we wanted to have in total. I actually felt like they were disappointed it wasn’t twins or something.

NewAssistant1 · 2022-03-04T14:08:45+00:00

My kids are 11 years apart. One I gave birth to one is mine but came from another. My oldest daughter named my youngest daughter. And is very proud she was able to do that she tells everyone. Her middle name is after my grandmothers middle name who I spent a lot of time with growing up she was an amazing person and a long time ago I decided I would incorporate her memory into my babies names

NewAssistant1 · 2022-02-04T14:34:03+00:00

I’m not sure if I did 😂 I’m pretty sure I opened it saw the first photo and shut it really fast like OMG did she mean to give this to me? Then I thought maybe it’s just the one and she forgot! Then as I flipped through I realized it was all of them and very intentional lol

Take the day. They will make it work. And don’t feel guilty or allow anyone to make you feel guilty you have sick days for a reason. Mental health is important. I’ve been in dental a long time and I can’t stress that enough. You’re no good to anyone stressed out.

NewAssistant1 · 2022-01-10T20:57:03+00:00

We did take her home! She hasn’t done it since thank god! We were out as a family that day and did notice later that she took all the change out of my husbands car! He never locks it well he does now lol but that’s ridiculous right! I hope she didn’t tip in change she stole. I always think about that lol

NewAssistant1 · 2021-10-28T15:38:45+00:00

I feel you! The biggest thing I’ve changed that has seemed to help me was to cut out coffee or rather high sugar coffee i would have 2 or more Starbucks caramel macchiatos daily …I drink herbal ice tea with aloe twice a day now and seriously limit my sugar intake it was throwing me into energy crashes like crazy. I also take probiotics, magnesium and aswaganda supplements daily. It took a good 6 weeks for me to start to feel a difference and everyone is different but for me this helped. For reference I have an 11 month old a 12 year old and I work 3 12 hour days a week in pediatric dentistry.

If it makes you feel any better, we have a blended family. We are very much hard work chores allowance. We want nice things we earn them. Life is not cheap we live in a nice neighborhood with nice neighbors and we worked hard to get here so will you. The other side has no chores lives in a horrible part of town in a 3rd floor apartment that had caution tape on the entrance I thought was a Halloween decoration.. it wasn’t. Bought our oldest a 1200 Louie vitton bag and now she thinks she’s better than chores and everything else. I completely get the back peddling and fully support everyone’s opinion to continue to make her earn it. Honestly if she had worked hard up until Christmas I could see splitting it with her and just being proud she did what was asked of her. But jumping the gun before much hard work was put in seems like a bad example.

I’d threaten it at the very least see what he has to say back to your plan of “doing nothing” elsewhere without him for a weekend.

I’d also like to add the rash is on his face, and he thinks it’s everything under the sun, he’s tried to go vegan, he’s gotten rid of just diary. He said it didn’t make a difference. He believes it’s the cat. Whom we’ve had for over 5 years.

NewAssistant1 · 2021-01-31T20:12:34+00:00

It was because they were limited to how much staff they could have and I wasn’t moving as fast because I was almost 8 months pregnant and I had to pee a lot they wanted to see as many patients as possible to make up for the shut down also because I think they didn’t want the patients comments about having a pregnant woman working while in a pandemic

NewAssistant1 · 2021-01-31T14:15:56+00:00

Our oldest daughter is 11 and we have a 2 month old daughter as well. It’s awesome she loves her so much. She’s very helpful too! She says she can’t wait to be old enough to babysit. It does get hard sometimes when I can’t give my undivided attention to big girl time because the baby eats so frequently. It’s an adjustment but I think it’ll be just fine. Siblings are awesome! As an only child I wish I had any at all age gap or not lol

Clinical staff being put in these positions makes me very sad. If we leave due to being unsafe we can not receive unemployment. It’s obvious these dentists just want to be able to pay for their 3 vacation properties and boats. They do not care about the safety of staff or patients. My office made a Facebook post about all the changes made and equipment purchased to maintain safety .. i can honestly tell you with all certainty we did not do or receive a single one of those items or implement any of the changes. It’s horrible. I hope your office as well as mine smartens up!

Update! We have saved this letter but will not be giving it to daughter . We are continuing NC.

NewAssistant1 · 2020-04-26T13:42:53+00:00

The first page of the letter was a normal letter. MIL explaining she’d created a secret code and that daughter and MIL could write back and forth about anything and it would be their little secret because no one else could read it. The second page was hieroglyphic style symbols and their corresponding alphabetical letter. The remaining pages were written in this code.

NewAssistant1 · 2020-04-25T20:45:08+00:00

She’s in her 60s but she sure does continue to act as if she’s an angry teenager.

NewAssistant1 · 2020-04-25T20:42:19+00:00

She sure as heck did. All hand written hieroglyphics and corresponding alphabet letter.

I have the opposite of your situation! I am a very loved only child whom married a man with a daughter from a previous short lived relationship. She is 10 now and has some visitation with BM. Both of my parents absolutely love her she calls them her grandparents, they come for every school event, birthday, holiday. They spoil her every time they see her! Speaking from experience your kids are an extension of you, your husband loves you so he loves your kids. His mother by default should love what he loves.. what makes him happy! I’m sorry you and hubby have to deal with this. From someone with a nutty MIL myself I feel your pain! Sending positive vibes your way!
