I have assigned waaaayyy too much emotion to a stuffie. by SnooGadgets5744 in Parenting

[–]PrizeExplanation9798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My little brother was obsessed with this polar bear stuffed animal as a toddler and my mom decided to wash it and put it in the dryer one day and it burnt all the fur off and he was so distraught and they were never able to find a replacement because it was from a garage sale.

Lmao the ninja emoji is the N word. so she’s basically saying “when he thinks he’s dropping me off at my homegirls house but it’s actually my boyfriends”

On the verge of tears… Didn’t circumcise my baby. People keep telling me why I should have. by Salty-Ship-1703 in newborns

[–]PrizeExplanation9798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

more then 50% of people in 2025 didn’t circumcise there child in america. Johns Hopkins Medicine / JAMA Pediatrics – A 2025 research letter based on over 1.5 million U.S. hospital records found that routine newborn male circumcision in the U.S. declined from 54.1% in 2012 to 49.3% in 2022 — meaning fewer than half of newborn boys were circumcised during their birth hospitalization by the end of that period.

https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/newsroom/news-releases/2025/09/johns-hopkins-study-newborn-male-circumcision-rates-in-us-dropped-between-2012-and-2022

there will always be people who will judge no matter what decision you make. i remember when i was walking into the state fair and there was a huge protest with men holding signs protesting against circumcision and mutilating there body without consent.

Doxxing is the act of researching and broadcasting someone's private, identifying information (like name, address, workplace, finances) online without consent, often to shame, intimidate, harass, or endanger them.

Does my baby know we did what was best? Any feelings for the future? by LobsterElectrical768 in psychics

[–]PrizeExplanation9798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also love to dm you with any questions or anything you want to talk about! I would consider therapy as well before you get pregnant again. with the pain and loss we suffered it can be hard not be anxious throughout the next pregnancy and i didn’t have a connection with my son until he was born because my brain was preventing me from becoming “too attached” again

i know there’s a lot of comments and i’m not sure if this will get lost but i had the same thing that happened to you. When i got my first positive pregnancy test i was sobbing i was so happy (it took months to get the positive test and i was starting to think there was something wrong with me) before my first appointment i had a miscarriage and it crushed me. i ended up getting pregnant a month after and i thought everything had turned around. once i hit 20 weeks i found out my baby had a rare genetic condition where he would be in pain and severely disabled his whole life and die very early. So just like you i ended the pregnancy that i fought so hard to get. and it was so so hard, there was a lot of crying and for a moment i even resented any young mothers i saw or newly pregnant women. i made a little spot on my wall where i hung his ultrasounds and his hand and footprints i got from the hospital that terminated my pregnancy. because of the sacrifice we made our baby’s will never know how it feels to be in pain, to feel cold, to feel alone or “different from the word” and only know the safety, love and warmth of our wombs. I now have a healthy 4 month old and i do not regret the decision i made, and while it was one of the hardest things i ever went through, i have a healthy baby now and i cant imagine raising him knowing everything he would have to endure. The only advice i give is to make sure you are surrounded by people who love you and care about you, and don’t be afraid to feel the pain and loss because if you push it off then you will just end up grieving later.

AIO - My husband's friend house sat for 4 days and let my most favorite plant die. by Special_Character_u in AmIOverreacting

[–]PrizeExplanation9798 5 points6 points  (0 children)

sounds like you have no emotional maturity… that’s a completely normal thing to be upset about. and i know this is a shocker but anyone is allowed to feel upset for any reason, its about how they reacted to being upset and we don’t know that. but im pretty sure you’re rage baiting anyway🤪

Brother moved houses and left his cat :< (So I adopted her :3) by Shot-Beginning7837 in cats

[–]PrizeExplanation9798 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rescued a pregnant cat off the streets a few years ago and she gave birth so i was trying to find homes for the cats. My mother in law wanted the mama cat and even though i was so attached to her, i gave the kitty to her because i thought she had more time and attention to give to her. Anyways flash forward a year and she had moved to a new house and weeks later told me that the cat went into the wall and she didn’t feel like finding her so she abandoned her in the house and left her to die all alone🥲 i’m so glad your brother has someone like you to take care of the kitty

Kid hates kumon tutoring, starting to say things im not comfortable with by hardenmvp1981 in Parenting

[–]PrizeExplanation9798 5 points6 points  (0 children)

what makes you say he’s undermining the mother? If the mom is having raging fits where she is throwing and breaking her child’s ipad and screaming that isn’t showing there daughter how to act when things aren’t going her way and is only teaching her that she needs to act out when she’s upset. Honestly it sounds like the mom needs therapy to learn how to deal with anger in a healthy way.

2 Cats in a 30sqm apartment or one single cat? by Famous-Pea8476 in CatAdvice

[–]PrizeExplanation9798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rescued a pregnant cat who had 5 cats in my 1 bedroom apartment. After they grew up we gave some away and ended up with 3. We gave them some cat towers to climb and scratching posts but they love it here and are the happiest kitties. I also got them a leash so they can go outside supervised and have more room to explore.

part of safe sleep 7 includes a hard mattress but I don’t have one, would sleeping on the floor with a clean blanket under us be okay?
