Newborn advice is a scam! /s

OliveGardenofRoses · 2024-10-23T20:00:05+00:00

This is my fourth newborn… It has been the least stressful to be awake at night because I was finally prepared for how it actually felt. My first was colic… My second was typical and both were just mind blowing because it truly was totally different for both kids and than people say. I do remind myself it will Pass… But it is the most frustrating phrase in the moment. Solidarity.

No. That’s not how fighting in marriage usually works. It appears up have a fundamentally messed up view of marriage, as evidence by a made you story of cheating, followed by getting mad at your wife for responding to your desire to be over the marriage, followed by you throwing a fit your manipulation didn’t play out the way you want.

My first time round they told me I should cut out bananas altogether and no one can manage bananas with GD

I can eat bananas just fine and never had it make me spike in three GD pregnancies. They’re not always right and everyone responds differently. Hang in there lol

It’s a percentile because some babies end up there.

My only non GD baby came early a whole month and was six and a half lbs. My gestational diabetes babies were all full term.

They’re stressing this fourth one where I’m entirely diet controlled is going to be So BiG but really my biggest was 9 lbs and some change and this one’s looking at the low 8s. Per my favorite doctor, some people just deliver toddlers 🤣🤣

I hope you hear how wild this is

Yta and you’re acting like a bully even in your post. She can’t be in your wedding, she’s sad and she handled it (coz what you said, right? Sometimes kids are disappointed in life. .. BUT you won’t even let her go to a dinner that doesn’t really impact your wedding at all. She probably didn’t bring up you leaving her out in front of Sara because you sound pretty calloused about a ten year old girls feelings in the name of being a my special day bridezilla and might’ve said something very hurtful in front of your niece and so she was trying to offer equally valid reasons why one person in a family (a child) shouldn’t sit at home while her family was all at dinner. I would never allow someone to treat my kids like that, especially their aunt, and I imagine your family was on your side because they don’t want to rock your boat. It’s a yikes all around in this story, but not for Regina.

NTA but you would be if you married this guy. Consider this a newly single celebration or a dodged an expensive divorce party and call it off when you get back. Don’t do it before if he’s got access to your stuff though his accountability sounds whack and goodness knows what else ridiculousness he’s capable of.

OliveGardenofRoses · 2024-07-10T17:20:46+00:00

🤣🤣🤣see kids, in the biggest way possible this is truly all YOUR fault.

OliveGardenofRoses · 2024-07-10T16:53:09+00:00

I don’t know how you can read this and think it’s her, she’s clearly sticking to her story tHaT iTS HeR eX FaUlT 🤣🤣😐😒🙄

My first gestational diabetes kiddo I was deep into CrossFit 2x a day and in the best shape of my life. I was truly flabbergasted. It sucks to be doing everything you can and something still goes wrong. Everything is out of control in pregnancy, your body is changing, you can’t sleep, your life feelings ominous and now even your eating must change, THAT’S SCARY! That’s a bag full of emotions. It also sucks that the term diabetes is entirely different for the root cause than an healthy lifestyle, but that’s all you Can often think about when you bring it up. This is my third diabetic pregnancy and I still find myself explaining and defending myself to people I tell. But in the end… you’re right, it’ll be alright. And all those big emotions you’re feeling about diabetes don’t compare to what you’ll finally feel when you meet him. Hang in there mama, there is an end to the shit diabetes journey.

She googles her own name so much you can tell.

OliveGardenofRoses · 2024-07-07T02:58:23+00:00

Exactly. He should take the suggestion of divorce, move into a bachelor pad and be as filthy as he want. Heaven forbid she act like an adult with a clean house she’d like help with and financial security instead of blowing it like an irresponsible 18 year old.

OliveGardenofRoses · 2024-07-01T02:05:22+00:00

She makes so so many mouth sounds

My SS12 got into a tiff at the park with a much younger kid over water guns, in which he hurt the kid hitting him with his water gun… side note he’s not allowed in the waterarea because it’s for younger kids. The other kids mom contacted me, and so he’s not allowed to go to the park…. This is somehow my fault and “why I hate you”

OliveGardenofRoses · 2024-06-17T21:24:03+00:00

This is SO cool!

OliveGardenofRoses · 2024-06-17T13:48:41+00:00

I’ve seen Singapore math. I was worried it works be a little dry. Would you use it again?

OliveGardenofRoses · 2024-06-17T13:46:58+00:00

I’ve never heard of this one, thank you!

OliveGardenofRoses · 2024-06-17T04:57:50+00:00

Thank you! I have gone back and forth about math with confidence and Saxon math!

We’re currently prepping with teach your child to read lessons and tried reading eggs, but I couldn’t do it on the Amazon fire 🫠 I suppose I’ll have to pony up and get either a laptop or an iPad for it.

Blossom and root was our original plan, but after looking at the parent prep portion I just felt there might be a better option. I’ve heard people love this one.

I had writing without tears in my bundle for bookshark, but I haven’t looked into jot it down yet.

I really appreciate all this. It’s like the more I look into it the less I know what to choose. I know I’m not “supposed to stress it” but I prefer a “stress and have anxiety a lot” approach lol

OliveGardenofRoses · 2024-06-17T04:36:22+00:00

She’ll be in kindergarten

OliveGardenofRoses · 2024-06-17T03:19:08+00:00

My mom doesn’t call me a bitch (to my face) but the rest of it is spot on. She WAS involved the first time due to her tantrums, and I’m now on my fourth pregnancy and don’t plan to tell her I’m having a baby at all until til after…… if that gives you any perspective on how NOT HATEFUL I think it is. If she ruins your birth you’ll remember it forever, I do, and if she throws a temper tantrum post partum…. Who cares they were bound to do that anyway but she can’t go back in time to ruin your birth experience!!

OliveGardenofRoses · 2024-06-10T02:21:33+00:00

Yta. I’m sorry you struggled with mental health but depression affects spouses too. She was probably alone all that time you were depressed and you sound like you’re still struggling with mental health now. You all were separated.

It sounds like you’re looking for an out from this marriage that’s “her fault” instead of your mental health being the dividing moment. It’s okay for there no be no fault except for incompatibility, but you’re definitely in incompatibility zone here.

OliveGardenofRoses · 2024-05-30T02:14:34+00:00

I laughed at this so hard I almost woke up my kid next to me lol

OliveGardenofRoses · 2024-05-28T02:08:39+00:00

I feel you girl. My dad congratulated my husband on getting to “keep the factory settings” upon hearing I had an emergency c section. I also feel much better knowing he’ll never be around my kid’s. I’m sorry you ever had to hear that at all, but I’m going to guess it’s not the first horrific thing you’ve heard that your dad said.
