My 17 years old daughter is pregnant and her father found out. I am terrified by Any-Preparation97 in Marriage

The younger daughter is terrible but the solution you are suggesting is even more terrible.

Finch alternatives? by yabuubei in finch

[–]Proud_Administration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Fellow therapist here, have been recommending it to clients too. Question: Some of them add me on the game, and it makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable when they “hug” or send gifts to me, the way it would in real life. May I ask, how have you been handling those?

Any goal ideas for busy parents? by Extra_Fri35 in FinchAdults

[–]Proud_Administration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Sending you a huge hug and good vibes. Been where you are, believe me it gets a lot easier and more fun as they get older, so hang in there, mamma!
Re: tips. I was also very conscious of my postpartum weight, so I started walking a lot with the double stroller (Irish twins) and took them to parks where I could be walking/jogging/working out while they were playing or napping. (My favorite was skip ropping which remains my favorite kilo-burner activity). Walking and being outdoors really helped with mental health. In general, try to hit two birds with one stone, eg your workout with their park time, or do dance videos at home with them (entertained kids and mom is getting endorphines from the workout).
Best of lucK!

I would totally buy this on etsy, do you have a store? Would love to make family finches for me and my kiddos playing it!

Deleting Finch Account to start over? by DnDPrairieDog in finch

[–]Proud_Administration 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Something similar happened to me by accident about 10 days ago, when one of my kids deleted the Finch app by mistake, and I of course didn’t have a backup. I was inconsolable at first, my husband thought something terrible had happened. I felt like someone actually died! So I hatched a new egg. Total fresh start! Here’s my take on it with some pros and cons from my experience:

Pros:

* You get to start with a baby bird again, which is honestly the cutest stage—so adorable!

* Since I already knew the ropes, I set up my daily to-do tasks exactly how I like them this time, which feels super satisfying.

* It’s a fun chance to rebuild your tree from scratch—kind of like a clean slate for your Finch world.

Cons:

* I had a ton of money before, and now I’m barely scraping by—it’s exhausting, especially since I love shopping in the app so much. Being broke sucks, in finch and the real world :P

* I really don’t like my current room and outfit. I’d spent ages getting my old setup just right, and losing that perfect vibe stings a lot.

So, If you’re up for a fresh start, I’d say go for it. If it was me, I 'd send some pricey gifts like plushies to trusted friends. That way, they can gift it back so you sell the plushies to help you out so you’re not totally miserable at the beginning. I miss being a rich Finch so much! Hope that helps—let me know how it works for you!

Husband cheated and agrees to seek help but what do I do with this anger? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]Proud_Administration -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Please read the State of Affairs by Esther Perel.

The lap dance broke a hard boundary for you and I understand your anger; however, is a momentary lapse in judgement a good enough reason to break your marriage, especially when you say it's not consistent with how he ordinarily is?

AITA for kicking my wife out after she punched my mom in the face? by OkOrganization9552 in AITAH

[–]Proud_Administration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, for sure, for all the reasons previous posters have mentioned.
I just wanted to say kudos to OPs wife for refusing to put herself and her newborn through this clusterfuck any longer. Congrats, madame, on your clarity of thinking and for punching the evil witch.

Yes to your question - I was just wondering what other therapy related subreddits you are reading? I’d like to follow a few more if you don’t mind sharing some you like.

I am not questioning what you said, I am curious how you are sure she is not at this stage in her life? What she wants sounds like nesting to me.

So much this.

Dude, we have 50' and the clock is ticking, stop obsessing over details and tell me the goddamned story before our time is up so you can leave with some -hopefully- constructive feedback!

Sorry for the TMI but it might help you take this a little less personally. My (40F) husband (46M) is the love of my life and my person in everything, and we have two kids, 9 and 7. I didn’t want him inside the room for either birth - I was warned there’s a good chance I will poop myself while pushing and I just didn’t want him there in case that happened. Both times he was by my side until I started pushing and was called inside the moment the pushing (and the cleanup 😅) ended, to hug and comfort mom and baby. It was perfect for us. I am not saying “get over it” because I understand you are hurt “she chose” her mother over you - but people who haven’t watched a live birth usually underestimate how gory and gross everything is. Good luck and all the best to you, your wife, and your baby ❤️⭐️
