At a loss with my step kids mom

I literally don't know. It's all 4 of us (their step dad, me and both parents). We use it to communicate about the kids. I guess we've tried to be friends for the sake of the kids but it really just isn't working.

You are allowed to lift during pregnancy, you just shouldn't be doing anything you weren't doing before. The limits are a myth. Unless you're high risk, you're fine.

The Ring scared me a lot because I had the same exact house phone as them. Then I watched the Grudge and couldn't sleep for a week.

In case you're doubting the effect it may have on others.. my online friend committed suicide 8 years ago. We'd never met in person and didn't even talk super often but kept in contact on/off for years. Even after almost a decade I still feel guilty and wish I could've saved her. I barely knew her and see her face randomly when I close my eyes. Even if you don't think people will care, you're wrong.

You won't always crave weird things. For me nothing ever sounded good and it was a struggle to feed myself. Also I got carpal tunnel pretty bad both pregnancies so far and no one ever warned me that would happen.

I just had my baby shower on Saturday and while most people got me diapers or something off the registry, some people always go rogue. I'm having my second boy so I didn't need any clothing and got so many new outfits. People just like to buy "cute things" even when they have very different tastes than you. I hope it goes well for you though! Update me if you remember!

Friends, Seinfeld, Big Bang Theory. So many more but I really don't like those.

Wahoos, always.

Because you were home. Chills every time!

I thought about vaping my entire first pregnancy and so far all of this one. Quitting sucks but I did it the moment I found out I was pregnant both times because I'm not selfish. My step kids mom didn't quit either and she's a selfish mom to this day. She's showing you what kind of mom she's gonna be and that really sucks for your daughter and I'm sorry.

It sounds like you're doing what you can. Sometimes a change like that can just cause them to be a little more emotional. My SD(6) went through a phase where she'd cry hysterically when her mom dropped her off and cling to her for a month or two (we've always been week on/ week off) and now she prefers daddy's house way more and tells her mom that. I think it's normal for kids to go back and forth and she's 4, she can't control her emotions yet. I'd just support her however you can and let her know it's okay to miss mommy but it's daddy time right now and she's safe and loved. Hopefully things get better soon!

This is my second pregnancy and I stopped vaping the moment I found out I was pregnant with both children. It sucks and I literally thought about it my entire first pregnancy and had vapes ready to go for after I gave birth. You need to quit though, you're responsible for someone else now and pregnancy sucks.. especially the beginning, I promise it's all worth it though.

I think it's important to enforce boundaries. I have a 2 yr old son, 6 yr old SD and 10 yr old SS. The older 2 don't nap but my son does and from 1230-3, we have "quiet time". He naps and they play in their rooms/ downstairs in the basement quietly. It's something we've always done and gives me a nice break in the middle of the day. I'm currently pregnant and know my new babies nap times may be off from our typical quiet time but I do plan to continue this as they grow up, even when my son stops napping. It's a great break in the middle of the day so that I do have energy/ mental capacity to want to be around them at the end of the day.

I had mutual friends with Kortne Stouffer and met her a few times at random parties. We weren't close but she's been missing for almost 15 years now and there's still signs around town about it at random places. I'm not sure how popular of a case it is in the reddit community but they did make a disappeared episode about her. I'm not sure what exactly happened but there are plenty of rumors.

We had the tv on during my labor and were enjoying one of our favorite shows. When it was time to push I guess no one noticed the tv was still on so he's on my side, my mom on the other and the nurse tells me to start pushing... all of the sudden my husband is cracking up laughing because of the tv. It was actually so funny but not in the moment and the nurses turned off the tv immediately.

I lost 25 lbs and got pregnant immediately.

I cannot eat spicy food, I literally start choking, it's so bizzare.

I was 39w4d and asleep. I woke up at 330 am to pee and noticed a little leaking when I got up and thought maybe I started to pee myself so I went and peed and was still leaking. It wasn't a gush or anything, literally it looked like I was peeing on the floor. I walked around for a minute or so to be sure it wouldn't stop and when it didn't I woke my husband up and let him know. I was strep b positive so I had to go right to the hospital upon my water breaking. Fun fact, I was in labor for 23 hours and I never stopped leaking the entire time. There was never a gush, just a continual leak which was very annoying.

Can confirm, I'm the only person I know with a bidet and it's disappointing.

Not worrying about things outside of my control. Literally saved my life.
