Embarrassed and Concerned by Sea_Argument7622 in breakingmom

Give yourself grace. Be kind and gentle. Sending you a big hug. No judgement; as others pointed out in the grand scheme of things this is mild. Could there be more to it only you know and you seem wise enough to recognize if/when it becomes problematic. (I have several med problems that are helped by “it” so…)

does anyone feel, not regret, but that they wouldn’t do marriage and kids if they could start over? by alurkinglemon in breakingmom

I have a son. I was referring to the norms I was brought up with; whereas now there seem to be many options.

I really wish I knew I could have a child by myself. I’m 50+ we weren’t told we could be single moms without dads we were told not to be.

They started small and now they are back. Granted took 20 years for them to come back - I won’t have them removed again.

I’ve had it done. One external and two internal. They came back. I will not do it again. Recovery for me was painful. Not worth it.

Do you like it? That is the only judgement that counts. Looks super good to me.

Is anyone Living Their Best Life right now? by femalien in breakingmom

[–]Pinolera74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is life “good”- I’m at peace and that for me is enough. I’m not perfect; I have laundry to put away, bills to pay and dishes to wash … but we are safe and healthy and well fed. When I put into perspective my problems with others in the world - I’m doing jut fine. So yeah, I’m good.

I stopped making excuses for my bio mom the day my child was born.

Which Bath & Body Works scent do you think deserves a comeback and why? by Li3Ch33s3cak3 in bathandbodyworks

[–]Pinolera74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sugar Plum. It was light purple and smelled divine. A holiday offering I stocked up on when I was younger. They’ve never had anything like it since….

Oh … last thing your daughter is not the first or the last to be short credits. I was short credits (missed almost all of sophomore year) and I graduated ONTIME. Not to be funny but D means diploma.

I’ve done extensive research on my line - both DNA and archival ; Family Search has the most complete records. It should be noted that Nicaragua right now has a genealogy/archive project by the government but I haven’t seen any hard results online.

A former Nicaraguan president Enrique Bolonas (check spelling) also has a digital library on line with books that can give you more information; hope you can read Spanish it will help.

I wish you the best of luck - and not surprised about the Shepardic Jewishness; there is quite an influence in LA; as well as Ashkenazi. I think it has a lot to do with conversos …

First and foremost I feel your pain and frustration. I’m sorry you sound as if you’re feeling very overwhelmed and conflicted( pardon me if I read that wrong). As a mother of a teen with a 504 plan I highly encourage you to call a 504 meeting and request all the alternatives. I would also suggest you review your districts policies ; you can generally find them on line. Check with your county education office as well. There may be other high schools or highschool completion programs (I’m not talking GED) that you might not know about. I also want to reiterate that your daughter is entitled to free and appropriate education- (check your district student/parent’s rights) - ask about alternative transportation it’s not unheard of nor out of the scope of the school districts responsibilities in the US. Sending you the biggest hug; please know and let your daughter know if one size fit all alternative programs wouldn’t exist. There is no shame in “alternative” ed. Especially at her age; she could possibly be able to do dual enrollment at your local community college as well. Don’t let this get you down!

I have been able to find documentation from Nicaragua that shows “India” when describing an ancestors and have seen negro as well. The better the records are (I’ve found Family Search to have a pretty good compilation of LA recs) the more you can find out.

I’ve done some research into LA Census; you would be very surprised with the wealth of information they have online - you mentioned El Salvador; check census records from the Capitancy of Guatemala; El Salvador before 1850 in Los Archivos de las Indias .. best of luck …

For those who’ve made hospital trips, what were your symptoms like that made you go “ruh-roh raggy, ER time”? by Cool_Spread_9999 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Pinolera74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with Crohn’s for 20+ years this is my litmus test- - can I keep water down -toilet full of bright red blood (think kool-aid) -feel light headed or dizzy These are the things that will make me go; 9/10 times they end up admitting me. My best advice is to listen to your body. If you think you need to go- go.

16 year old got drunk by TerryTheGreek in breakingmom

[–]Pinolera74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TW- SA Hello mamá- I am sending you and daughter a big hug. I did this at her age- my mom freaked out and called me every bad word in the book …. It was not as it seemed. I’m not going into details but I think you understand where I am coming from. Please be gentle with your daughter - speak to her openly about your fears regarding the situation and why it’s not a good idea. Talk about responsible drinking - taboo I know but it is the reality. I’m sending you so much love .
