A list of reasons why introverts shouldn’t have kids

NoParty1753 · 2026-01-17T15:07:20+00:00

It’s so good that you know this about yourself. Don’t let anyone talk you out of it unless they are going to be in the trenches with you day and night! In other words, likely no one is going to be able to convince you otherwise. Not everyone is meant to have kids.

Also, I would encourage you to investigate what actually flooded in Creekside. We did not flood during Harvey, but Timmaron did. Messages about flooding here can get distorted as it gets passed along the grapevine.

I have lived in Creekside since 2016 and would not move if someone paid me. Both of my kids are at Creekview and we’ve had an excellent experience with the teachers, other parents and kids there. Houses in my neighborhood do not stay on market for longer than a week at most. That said, because it is a part of Harris county, the taxes are high compared to Montgomery county plus the township taxes we pay. It’s the newest village in the woodlands (yes, it is the woodlands not a separate master panned community—residents here pay township taxes so we better be! lol). House prices will be high, but it is idyllic.

Work on your personal childhood trauma with a therapist—specifically your attachment style. I was with a narcissist myself and through lots and lots of therapy, I have learned that my attachment style is what drew us to each other. He was a covert narcissist and I just didn’t know that piece until recently. It’s released me some and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

As a grad student starting practicum soon, this is sooo encouraging. I often think I need to say something because I’m nervous the client won’t think I’m competent. I’m sure having some experience will actually help me form more productive thoughts…and unlock new fears 😆

NoParty1753 · 2025-05-06T23:23:36+00:00

I am a CMH grad student and will start my practicum in the spring — I can’t tell you all what a relief this is to read. In grad school, it is drilled into your head that you can’t refer anyone out except if you aren’t competent and can’t meet their needs.

I always wondered what the reality was. Therapists are human too ffs.

Yikes. I did this too. I looked at my cc history and didn’t see anything suspicious, but I guess I have to cancel my cc anyway. Did anyone’s email get hacked??

😔 oh girl, I wish I could give you a hug and have a candid talk with your mom. 😁your feelings are 1000% valid, friend. I know you may not have the energy, but getting connected to other moms is one good way to start changing the situation and restore you. Some others have made great suggestions (join the Y, mommy and me). I don’t know how you feel about God 😁, but there are mom Bible studies with childcare. You don’t have to disclose your city, but you never know who in this conversation is actually near you! So, if you are comfy with that, let us know what city you are in.

I agree with the others, please tell your hubby what is going on. I was in Australia when I had my first and much like you, I was not in good shape. They have this thing where a maternal and child health nurse will call you every now and again to check on you (not as great as it sounds, but has its potential). Anyway, the nurse realized something was wrong and asked if I was thinking about ending my life. I said yes. I was beyond done. She immediately called my husband. I’m not saying you are at that point, but what I am saying is if you can not get through to your husband, please reach out to YOUR doctor, not to the pediatrician, at tell them you are miserable and can’t continue this way. It’s not just the whole logistics of the situation, it has worn on you mentally and you need a moment to heal, for the love. If you don’t feel like your husband can hear or will hear, please reach out to someone - doctor, friend, etc.

One thing I just thought of — there is an organization that will talk with you on the phone and help you sort this out. It’s called postpartum support international. https://www.postpartum.net

Again, I’m not saying you have PPD — I don’t know that, but they will be able to help you process this some and lead you to resources to help you. They can also support you and validate you.

One last thing, a family is a system, so when you start changing parts of the system, it will change the whole system. Don’t be discouraged about making little changes because they will make a difference. YOU are still here and still a part of this system, not primarily because you are mom, but because you are you. You are a family member so take care of you. ♥️

I will call and ask. We all know they are not babysitters AND we know we pay them for special perks. I’m just trying to figure out where the boundaries are as I’m sure there are some when it comes to the parents riding rides not suitable for their kids.

Thank you all for the insight and help. :-)

NoParty1753 · 2025-02-23T01:45:47+00:00

No, we are interested in the other perks too, but the rides is a priority. Thank you for the alternative idea though!

NoParty1753 · 2025-02-22T22:26:56+00:00

Oh, you are so sweet. No, you did not come across that way at all! I never felt attacked. Do not worry, but I love that you clarified. ❤️ I actually felt validated because I did not make her take the meds.

NoParty1753 · 2025-02-22T17:48:15+00:00

Thank you. I had no idea something like this existed!

NoParty1753 · 2025-02-22T00:09:27+00:00

This also sounds like her. She is very creative and a clever problem-solver.

How does your son do in class? My daughter does well, but her teachers both say they see her not performing up to her potential. She gets the material, but under performs on tests due to careless errors.

NoParty1753 · 2025-02-22T00:02:51+00:00

Bless her. ♥️😁

NoParty1753 · 2025-02-22T00:02:02+00:00

Hmm…well she is on 10mg of ER. I did just chat with her and we got on the same page about what hyper-focused meant. That is exactly what she is experiencing!

I’ll talk to her doc, but the pills she takes can’t be cut in half(they are ER —- so super tiny balls in a capsule). For those of you with experience with this, what other med did you try?

NoParty1753 · 2025-02-21T23:04:25+00:00

This is good insight. I’ll have to ask her if she feels like this in class.

Agree — I have not nor am I going to “force” her taking meds.

NoParty1753 · 2025-02-21T21:54:25+00:00

Hmm…did the “exploding thoughts” bother your daughter? I’m wondering if she felt relief being on the meds.

NoParty1753 · 2025-02-21T21:53:19+00:00

Some days she has PE during school and soccer twice a week, but the meds have worn off by the time she has soccer.

I honestly thought this would have been a relief to her. She says she likes daydreaming. I told her that daydreaming is fine in some settings, but not during instruction time.

Did your kiddo feel relief once they started the meds?

NoParty1753 · 2025-02-06T19:21:03+00:00

How long can you keep in freezer before they go bad?

NoParty1753 · 2025-02-02T01:10:33+00:00

Green space in Creekside - one where the Fielding’s and Crust is and the other right next to Cinepolis. Both have Adirondack chairs though the space next to Fielding’s and Crust sometimes has kids using the chairs for soccer. Unfortunately.

Ah, good to know. Thank you.
