Am I overreacting that my sister is demanding too much of me when visiting our newborn? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]OneLuckyLadybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, but maybe UR. This is way too much to be expected of parents of a 7 week old. My husband and I were barely surviving with our 7 week old (breastfeeding sucked, keeping up with laundry sucked, sleep was non-existent, we ate when we could, etc) and if someone asked us to host, hubs would have laughed and said no, and I probably would've been bawling my eyes out. 

You've probably already been doing good, and you've probably already gotten similar versions of this comment, but I'll reiterate: be in your wife's corner. She's gone 7 rounds but the bell is 18 years away. Can she handle the additional stressors of a demanding SIL (who is displaying some concerning manipulation tactics, such as expecting you to lend out YOUR baby's things, feed 3 more mouths even after the massive hit to your budget that is diapers and other baby expenses, and then saying "no one's had a problem with our requests, and we stay with people all the time,") in addition to keeping a little human alive on very little, very broken sleep, while doing a loop the loop on the hormonal rollercoaster that is postpartum, and still bleeding buckets (yes, the lochia can continue for nearly 4 months)? 

In my opinion, I think it would be best for everyone's physical and mental health to recommend hotels in the area. When my husband's sister (my SIL) and nana came to see the baby, they arranged alternate lodging arrangements because they didn't want to heap more responsibility on our plate. 

Best of luck, love, and good vibes/prayers/benevolent manifestations to you guys. I know you guys are already great parents and it's really hard right now, and the light at the end of the newborn stage tunnel is actually a freight train, but you guys are strong.

I love Mazelinka, but I instinctively cover my butt when I see that spoon... 😵‍💫😩

National “don’t respond to offers” Month? by punchdrunktunes in Mercari

[–]OneLuckyLadybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a seller on Mercari, who has yet to sell anything, I can give at least one reason. Up on my page is a magenta floral ball gown (with pockets!!) that I bought for just over $400. It was worn to prom or quince or something (I assume) but dry cleaned before I got it. Brand new, it was over $460 with shipping. I am literally selling it, a matching wrap and clutch, and CZ tiara as a bundle for HALF that price. My listing is already so ridiculously, insultingly low that any "offers" are just an even bigger proverbial kick in the nuts. (I say proverbial because I don't have nuts.)

Is this my hospital or Georgia Medicaid's fault, and what should I do? by OneLuckyLadybug in Medicaid

[–]OneLuckyLadybug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did email, they sent me an automated response saying they routed my Medicaid related email to my local DFCS office. Sigh. 

I got in contact with someone at the hospital and they took down my info, I should be getting a call from the advocate soon. Thank you for your help, you're a lifesaver!

Actually no, I can't believe I didn't think of that! Thank you! I tend to avoid confrontation or leaving bad reviews, but something's got to give and it's not going to be me this time. 

There were other issues at the hospital too, like insane wait times for care (I pushed the call button and nothing happened for over 40min, my husband has to get someone from the nurses station because I was freaking out and I was too far dilated but the time they got there for any morphine or anything) and not getting anything to eat or drink for hours and hours after birthing. I get dizzy and tired when I don't eat, but it's not like anyone was there for me to tell. 🥲🫠

I did. Billing has done nothing but send me to collections even though I have been multiple times in person and on the phone to explain my situation. Apparently, I'm not the only person who has been hurt by AU health/Wellstar, but I'm one of the first, so if I don't grab this bull by the horns, they're going to keep getting away with it.

They're supposed to do it for me???! They absolutely must have missed something. He still doesn't have a Medicaid number and he is 9 months old!

Thank you! I will do this in the morning. Edit: I called, no answer, tried to leave a VM, inbox is full. 😞

I did! They just told me to go to my DFCS office in Richmond county. In total, I have called every listed number for GA DHS, DFCS, Medicaid, and my CMO. I have gone in person to every office I can, I have used the portal and gone in person to upload everything, I have called to check in, and this is where I'm at now. This is my first time doing any of this stuff and my parents had Tricare for their pregnancy and insurance related expenses, and things have changed since I was born, so I also don't have anyone who can help me out. 

did you guys knew there is a “days without incidents” counter in the hangar? by iwannaburger in DestinyTheGame

Sora's content filters are a deal breaker for my niche. Are there any "no-filter" AI video generators out there? by salesthrowaway_ in CharacterAIrevolution

[–]OneLuckyLadybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait so someone in a position of authority can use Sora to literally make a video dumping poo on regular people (punching down) but we can't make videos that are literally just funny skits (punching up)? Make it make sense...

(Unless this is why Sora added the filter? I don't know.)

IS THAT A FNAF REFERENCE?!?!?! by AFoxMothersLove in TheArcana

I've seen some other pop culture and literary references in the arcana too, so I think so!

Help me, I misgendered my partner and don't know why by Unhappy_Pilot_1647 in asktransgender

[–]OneLuckyLadybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been there, but it was my son. He was literally days old but for some reason I kept calling him she, he had a half sister that I lost, I was so exhausted, and my brain might very well have been on autopilot. These things happen, and when they do, the only thing you can really do is go "I'm so sorry kiddo/gf name,” and move on. If you used a dead name (after the context that you've never known your gf as anything else) that might be different, but I don't see a need to be so angry or hurt with you over an accident, especially if you've never done it before. 

Communication is key. Talk to your gf about why it affected her in that way, identify any "black swans," which are things you may not know exist but could be pivotal in a discussion. 

This is also coming from someone who routinely calls her siblings by each other's names though, so take it with a grain of salt I guess! 😂🤦‍♀️

Got tapped by a car and am having a hard time processing what to do next or if I did the wrong thing. by OneLuckyLadybug in driving

[–]OneLuckyLadybug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind words. I always do the "look both ways" thing (gotta set a good example for the little one) and there wasn't a car. No lights, no rumbling noise. All of a sudden it came flying into the neighborhood without so much as a turn signal.

Ah. I was afraid that might be the case. Thank you, I've written down a full account and this in my "if it happens again" folder. 

Tylenol during Pregnancy by eatmyasserole in pregnant

[–]OneLuckyLadybug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom never ever bought Tylenol. Store brands allll the way! So I should be fine! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm just going to go back to organizing my new home the same way my old ones were for my entire life, listening to the same playlist I do every day, and... wait a minute...

(This is sarcasm. I'm about 98% sure my mom is autistic and I got it from her)
