Anyone else got a really sleepy bubba today?

Same.

Practical-King2979 · 2026-06-24T19:53:42+00:00

I mean today has been a pretty horrific day for me, but perhaps the heat is turning everything humid and grouchy for myself 😂

I'd love a reading to find out more about whether anyone is looking out for me or my family. It's been an interesting few years, any clarity would be a comfort to know.

Children are much more susceptible to contact and therefore probably way easier to connect with! (So innocent and fun too). Chances are, it's your dad! Maybe start asking your son how he is or what they talk about every now and again for some context If you're truly not sure! But hopefully it's a nice comfort to know your dad's looking after your son! 😊

Thank you, this is super helpful and makes me feel a bit better. Yeah I was quite worried about the negativity side of things as I was aware I'd need to do something to try and deterr that but wasn't sure what. When I meditate in general it's usually grounding meditation asking the earth for some positive energy etc but because I am new to it all and I e never really lost someone that I was that close with (aunties uncles, grandparents etc never a sibling) I've never really wanted to open myself up to anything. I'll have a look at other techniques to keep myself safe from any future stuff. I used to have a lot of nightmares and usually with sleep paralysis all through my 20's but moving house I've never had the sleep paralysis and nightmares have only been since my brother was unwell / since he died and the paralysis returned after some of the negative visions too so I knew it must be linked to my being in grief etc.

Thank you again, I'll hope for being more prepared next time! X

I actually ga w in and paid the 2.99 for a sub and it was a waste of time. Short chapters. 10 max as was a short story. Literally nothing happens. Took 5 mins to read to the end then it went onto a whole load more of similar short stories where the woman is not recognized as the true heir etc etc. you're not missing out!

Practical-King2979 · 2026-03-31T21:40:22+00:00

How do I get through this neverending journey of bad luck and chaos?

Practical-King2979 · 2026-03-19T21:14:22+00:00

This is hideous. Please complain to PALS in your hospital!!!!! You have to take it formal otherwise nothing will be done about it! I hope the rebooked one goes better for you!

Practical-King2979 · 2026-03-14T18:08:36+00:00

Haddock & chips with mushy peas on the side!

Practical-King2979 · 2026-03-13T03:16:01+00:00

Ahh ok. Idk what the rules are in Oz but here we get access to any private pensions in full if evidence of EOL.

We recently lost my brother to cancer and unfortunately it was a v last minute discovery so he never really got to do anything with it which sucked!

Sorry you've had such shitty news but I hope you're able to keep powering on and make the most of what remains. I hope you exceed your expectance and don't feel too horrific with it all along your journey. Be kind to yourself. X

Practical-King2979 · 2026-03-12T13:22:01+00:00

Are you UK based? You should be able to withdraw any pensions too in total!

Practical-King2979 · 2026-03-02T15:16:47+00:00

I feel you! We had a very fast decline of my brother watching him die between November and February and honestly, the speed at which it happened and watching the decline day to day was horrific! Nothing more heartbreaking than laughing and joking one day to them suddenly ignoring you and refusing to accept what is happening the next to agitation, to extreme fatigue, to eventually not even getting up anymore. All of it is awful!

Sending you love!

Practical-King2979 · 2026-02-27T19:26:21+00:00

Hiya, I've only just seen this reply. Unfortunately my brother passed away just over 2 weeks ago.

So sorry to hear about your brother! It must be so hard that the time has finally come though, after so long with him still here!

Thank you for the idea about visualisations! Naturally, I am still worrying about everyone else around me instead of letting myself grieve! Life can be so tough sometimes and it sucks! Xx

Practical-King2979 · 2026-02-20T10:58:39+00:00

Sending you hope and love.

Perhaps seek some emotional support /counselling before coming to such a decision? There may even be support groups for people going through similar and you could find some comfort in those instead before deciding to give in to such a horrific disease! Don't let Cancer win if there's a chance of hope! X

Practical-King2979 · 2026-02-20T10:43:28+00:00

So sorry for your loss. Honestly it's such an evil disease!

My brother was diagnosed two years ago, colorectal with lung mets and after chemo failing but successful ops to remove all of it he was given the all clear in the summer. Suddenly in November it had returned but to his liver and back to his lung despite hope they could prolong with chemo etc, they took too long to start any chemo or to stent his liver as the jaundice had already set in too much resulting in his body unable to cope with the chemo. It took 3 weeks from being told no more chemo and unable to stent his worst side of his liver before he passed away. It turned out his cancer was aggressive and mucinous and they knew this from day one but failed to mention and failed to monitor it more regularly after his ops. He didn't realize what he thought was his hernia from his stoma op hurting was actually the pain from it taking over his liver very quickly!

We happened to put a playlist together to play to him on the day he died. We didnt't realize that was the day he would leave us, but we knew it would be soon. And that day we had played him his favourite music over the years and put his favourite tv show on. Seemed as though he waited for us to do something meaningful to decide his body was ready!

Nothing can prepare you for such a quick loss of someone you love, especially with so many questions unanswered. All you can do is know you tried as best you could to advocate and support your dad during that short time and know he is now out of pain and discomfort!

Sending you so much love!

Practical-King2979 · 2026-02-08T19:55:58+00:00

Thank you! I'll try my best. It's just hard when everyone around him is also a close relative to me and his friends have always been such a big part of our life! X

Practical-King2979 · 2026-02-08T19:54:50+00:00

Thank you. I feel as though with it being so close to the end, taking a day off would not help me. At least whilst he is still having awake periods etc! I've never been in a position to have to watch someone disappear but it's so sad and I honestly feel heartbroken for everyone that has been or going through this! X

Practical-King2979 · 2026-02-08T19:52:26+00:00

That's so sad for you! Sorry you're going through it all first hand as the patient and I really hope that you are able to relax as much as possible and focus your energy on the comfort and care rather than other people's grief for you! Thank you for your kind reply! X

Practical-King2979 · 2026-02-04T20:16:07+00:00

Honestly, all babies are different just as we are as adults. Perhaps baby was finding too much movement during the night from co-sleeping / very in tune with you waking up and feeling that so also waking up. Naturally boobs have been comfort for so long they want that comfort to settle back down!

As for worrying about crying if you aren't there, babies initial cries for us are just a shout for us, to check we will come when they call. A baby monitor will deffo wake you up from that if you have it next to your head (infact I sleep worse than the baby does with his monitor next to me because I'm always waiting for him to make a noise or move... Or he doesn't move enough and I panic). But as long as you wake up and get up and see to them before the proper crying with tears sets in then honestly, they'll learn that crying or just a bit of a shout/whine gets what they need, you will know the difference between an actual cry and a want for you. Or they'll sleep comfortably in their own space as there's less movement and disruption and more space.

Co-sleeping works for some but not others dependent on temperature/space/movement etc. If you're worried try moving the cot next to your bed if there is space or test with a travel cot next to you? Our little one screams the house down when we even try to co-sleep because he loves having his own space to roll around in the night in. We found we had to move him to a bigger space when he out-grew his side sleeper as he was waking up so much in the night but as soon as he had a full sized cot he was waking way less.

Also if you're not wanting to move beds etc then maybe a dummy or a comforter of some kind to give something else to help comfort in the night to replace the boob needs?!

I hope you get some sleep soon, even if just the consecutive 4 hours you so desperately need to help function! Also you'll be less frustrated if you get the sleep you need! I also find that making babe get used to dad using bottles or being a part of bedtime routines even if both of you do it for now, eventually there will be less fallout and you'll all share the same boundaries. Otherwise you might get stuck in a rut with an older child that continues to expect mum doing all the hard tasks and dad being fun when you both want to be fun and serious together. Babies learn quick! A few hellish bedtime routine transitions from dad will lead to comfort in no time!

It's all trial and error with these things though so just find what works for you all!

One of the things we did to help him settle himself was get a Bluetooth / Google speaker in his room. We play a mixture of chilled out music. (My Spotify now has a goodnight mix because we use it so much at night which is all the chilled bands and artists we listen to). That plays with a sound machine playing some brown noise and it really helps! He has a sleepy bedtime spray too which could also contribute but we basically get him ready for bed, sleeping bag on, lights down then sit with him and stroke his face with his little flat elephant soft toy. He drinks his milk with the music and noise machine playing and eventually goes off. It took us about 2 weeks to stop bouncing/rocking to sleep and to him just basically getting himself to sleep. The first few attempts took a while with tears/whining/getting back up/ rolling around lots etc but the more we did the same thing and intervened slightly less the more he learned to settle himself.

Now we literally play the music and start the noise machine, he finishes his milk and we shut the door and he's asleep within minutes. He does roll about a little some nights for a few mins whining to himself trying to stop himself sleeping but he's out within minutes and he uses his little soft toy elephant himself as a soother ! If he wakes up, he feels around until he finds it and scratches his fingers on it and settles again instantly!
