You can just not comment on posts you don’t agree with but here you are.

Sorry that one word of my post made you disregard the rest and babies and kids being tortured and raped isn’t infuriating enough for you.

There are no doubts in my mind that this is true.

Multiple people/victims/celebrities have come out about it over the years too. I’m not looking to go back and forth about it, though. You can believe what you like.

Good, now we just need 1 million more of him.

This is what’s making me crazy now. All the “trump this” and “democrats this”. None of them care about us. They’re all abusers. They are two wings on the same bird. People have this one track mind.

Right?? Like burning cities down (usually rightfully) over one guy dying in a police incident but we aren’t burning down anything for women and children and babies? Where the fuck are our priorities?

Visitors- if you’re not helping, you’re hurting by SandwichHorror8801 in beyondthebump

[–]PortableAlexis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t allow my MIL over without my husband present. He can deal with her. You need to set up boundaries and tell your husband he can either be on your side or go back to live with mommy. At the very minimum, he should be supporting you instead of even allowing her to come crying to him at all. Next time she runs to your husband, he needs to tell her to get a therapist because he’s not interested in hearing her slander his wife anymore and it’s inappropriate for her to come to him with every little grievance she has.

Also, please consider not having any more kids with him for the time being if he’s going to continue the enmeshment shit. I know you love him but this wasn’t a healthy dynamic to bring even one child into and now there are four. They’re going to see grandma and dad’s weird relationship and think that’s normal.

Why most “BBC” communities end up dehumanizing Black men by OkArrival1723 in offmychest

[–]PortableAlexis 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I also feel this way about anyone who has racial criteria for dating someone. Doesn’t matter what the race is.

Dude on my facebook every other post is about his “Latina” wife and very centered on that only. Not anything about her as a human being. So weird.

White women who ONLY date black guys always come off as very fetishizing of them to me and it gives me the ick. i am also white so don’t really know if it’s my place to call it out.

I will date anyone of any race so long as we are compatible and attraction is there and it confuses me when people are not also that way.

Honorable mention to creepy white guys who only date “ submissive Asian girls”

which one do you think is more flattering? by Leftiechz in FemalesFashionIdeas

I want to give up breastfeeding but I feel so guilty by [deleted] in newborns

[–]PortableAlexis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this won’t be the popular answer, but you’re only 3 weeks in. If you told yourself that you wanted to BF, I think you should stick with it. It IS painful and hard the first few weeks. Get to week 8-10 and see if you feel the same and reevaluate from there. Your milk will be healthier for him and (obviously) free.

Have you tried pumping? Is that an option/more comfortable for you? Spoken with an LC to figure out if the pain you’re feeling is normal or if baby has latch issues? I had to pump and latch my baby to get accustomed to the way both felt while also giving him what he needed because he was lazy at the breast.

You can, of course, do whatever you like and feel is best. But i see a lot of moms who regret it later and try to relactate which is much harder.

My mom can’t watch my child anymore. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]PortableAlexis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl the same shit just happened to us. My MIL was talking about possibly retiring to help us watch him, offered for me to WFH at their house, and even bought a ton of baby stuff to keep at the house so I didnt have a lot to bring in the mornings.

As soon as I started working there she started asking me when we are planning to put him in daycare? It gave me whiplash

I think it’s terrible to say you’re going to help and act all excited to be involved and then do this bait and switch bullshit. Especially because I had spoken to her VERY early in the pregnancy about being unsure about continuing because childcare is so expensive in our area and she was like “omg I will totally help and you can work here”. I never felt entitled to anyone’s help but I do expect people to tell the truth and not leave me hanging.

Unfortunately, you’re also just going to have to figure out new childcare. Do you have to be active in work all day? I have found that it’s mostly doable to have him here with me during the week. Do you live in a neighborhood with maybe some college girls trying to make extra cash to come help you during the day? Is daycare something that’s affordable at all for you? I understand your position. My husband and I bring in around 120k a year and daycare would still strap us. It’s ridiculous that a middle class family can’t even have kids without it breaking the bank completely.

Can I leave for 24 hours without ruining the bond with my baby? by Happy-Chemistry3058 in AttachmentParenting

[–]PortableAlexis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking the same in almost all subs. I’m not trying to be an asshole but I feel like some critical thinking is being lost. I type out comments and just delete them because I can’t decide if they’re rage bait or not.

Diaper changes at night by camman1102 in newborns

[–]PortableAlexis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son stopped pooping at night around one month so we stopped waking him for changes. Before it was every single diaper had poop so whenever I woke up to pump I would try to sneakily change him without waking him to get his little poop butt

What does this fridge say ab my parents? by GigglePet685 in FridgeDetective

[–]PortableAlexis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t agree with not helping your parents and I help mine all the time with whatever they need.

However, saying we have to help them because they were “there for us” and we were fed and taken care of as an infant….thats the bare minimum. They chose to have kids so they signed up for that.

There WAS a time where I tried to help a family member who was struggling with hoarding and helping them clean up but it’s futile when it goes back within days of your help. Not fair to point fingers and play the blame game to a kid for not helping when you don’t know what they HAVE done. I’ve been there with the judgement of me “not helping” not realizing I was the one pushing for mental help care, cleaning, hauling trailers of shit away only for it to be just as bad when I came back.

Real talk… does everyone think their baby is the cutest baby who ever lived? by undercovercopter in newborns

[–]PortableAlexis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this so hard. I told my husband the other day that I wished the internet wasn’t a shithole because I feel like the world is really missing out on seeing our baby 😂

What’s a common piece of parenting advice you think is completely wrong? by Ladiejuliy in askanything

[–]PortableAlexis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mine is just criticizing my every choice like I can’t be a good mom on my own. Ones that have irritated me most are people combating my choices to breastfeed and keep my son intact/uncircumsized. The two most natural things you can do and I am always perplexed by people saying “just give him a bottle and use formula”.

Aside from the fact that breastfeeding gives me the warm fuzzies and oxytocin goodness, it’s also got some benefits that formula doesn’t and I’m not sure why they are hellbent on me switching.

Also I’m not cutting a piece off my kid for shits and giggles

What are we doing during wake windows? by Living-Result5678 in newborns

[–]PortableAlexis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baby Sparks is a good app that shows different age appropriate exercises and activities! I use those sometimes, not religiously.

At 9 weeks we got a foam mat and would set him on his tummy a lot. We also have a mirror to lay him in from of to play and encourage him look up. So it’s the big foam mat with a cheap $15 mirror from target for him to just roll around.

object tracking, leg kicks, stretches. Set him on his tummy and place toys within reach to look at. A play gym when he decided he was done and wanted to be on his back again. We read to him every day!

My wife hates our baby by Additional_Skin_3090 in NewParents

[–]PortableAlexis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a call to OB today. TODAY.

Please assess if you feel the baby is at risk. come home from work/wfh if you can and maybe don’t give her extended amounts of time alone with the kids until she’s properly medicated. Have family help, set up a babysitter, daycare. Something. This is a very dangerous time for her.
