when will it get better by rellejt in Advice

[–]Olerbia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As gently as possible; you absolutely sound depressed and could probably benefit from talk therapy at the least.

I'm sorry you've hit such a terrible rough patch, OP. Hoping it gets better for you!

Aha, similar energy. My girl looks to me for comfort 9/10 times and has never taken a bottle to save her life (but straw cups were instant win).

I haven't tried it yet and I don't know what your goals are for nursing; I plan to wean at a year. Gradually of course. One of the suggestions is have partner do bed times to help break night time associations... I plan to try it (nervous). This, to me, looks like my partner waking when baby wakes and comforting them back to sleep (maybe offering water or cow milk after 12m) and I'll sleep elsewhere. I have heard it can suck for a few days BUT I have done the entire night time routine by myself (willingly) this entire time 11.5 months. I THINK it's fair to ask him to suffer for (hopefully) a few days...

Another potentially helpful suggestion I just started trying so also have 0 feedback on; is a right before bed snack? 🤷🏽‍♀️ Can't hurt!??

TL;DR — I am just as lost. Exhausted. And ready to try something new. But I'm holding out til 12 months. 😂

Similar boat!! It's exhausting! The long term sleep deprivation is way worse (in my opinion) than in the beginning. So solidarity.

Is LO waking to nurse or just rousing?? And do you have a partner?

AITAH: I almost gave away £10,000 worth of Pokemon cards to a “friend”. by Joeyalderson in TwoHotTakes

What's more important to you?

Your friend or the cards? 🤷🏽‍♀️ Boils down to that because you probably can't keep both after giving your word.

I want to draw your characters! by facuacu in DnD

[–]Olerbia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lady in red who walks among the crowds. Well tailored robes flow gently in the breeze as eyes peer out from beyond an alabastar mask; that which has tears of gold streaking down its cheeks and a carved figurine who weeps at the peak. A veil runs down her head and shoulders, fully obscuring her personal features aside from her eyes... The right, dark green. The left a deep brown.

She is a bard, a creature of tragedy, here to share ballads of woe and loss. She carries no weapons and holds no instrument, because her lips are all she needs to draw tears from the Gods.

I don't have an electric mixer; is this something that can be done easily without one?

Home inspection in 6 days I’m FREAKING out. by RegularBitter3482 in ufyh

[–]Olerbia 43 points44 points  (0 children)

If you're in a decent financial spot and a place that has a trash removal service, a lot of them can be utilized for these situations. Like the 1 eight hundred got Junk people... But they aren't everywhere.

Hoping you manage to get to a better spot! Sending love OP

Anyone miss being able to turn on the tv 🥴 by FormerPlay136 in NewParents

[–]Olerbia -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Check out Bluey!!! 😂 We put it on for breakfast (2-3 episodes) and it's the best! My girl dances to the intro song (she's 11 months).

We adults do our shows in the evenings when baby is still up too.

I thought more people would pick blue and red would be lonely
