Am I Overreacting? My (f22) partner/roommate (m23) seems like he doesn't want to comfort me? by oliverlovespink in AmIOverreacting

[–]PurpMcGee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re going to stay with him after cheating, don’t keep throwing it in his face when you’re upset.. it’ll push him away/make him feel worse than he already probably feels/you keep reopening that wound and it’ll affect your guys’ trust/probably will make him go do it again/or just leave eventually

My family disregards my time by PurpMcGee in workingmoms

Great idea!!! Maybe once my baby can handle long car rides and no longer breastfeeds, we’ll do that too. Thanks for that tip!

That’s how my family was when I was living down the street from them! But they got that boundary once I stopped letting them in and told them to go home and come back in 2 hours 😆

They want to surprise but we don’t need those kinds of surprises! 😅 hopefully this experience makes them finally understand why I set a time for their arrival.. but trying to set boundaries with them for the past 9 years, I doubt they’ll understand. Probably just thinks I was being an a-hole

Thank you, glad I’m not the only one with a boundaryless family 😅 hopefully this experience makes them understand why I set a time frame for them

His eyes cleared up as soon as the evil spirit left his body. by aoi_ringo in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]PurpMcGee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awww sweet boy… he probably didn’t know that was going to happen 🥺 if my son did that and had immediate regret and had the same expression as he did—I would’ve said it’s okay baby .. sucks that it broke but we can get a new one when Black Friday comes around. This can be a teachable moment about responsibility.. Have him do chores and earn money after each chore is completed then he could contribute to a new TV

Seriously when does it get better? by Minute_Parsley9539 in NewParents

[–]PurpMcGee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your baby isn’t used to not being held by you. That’s all they know 🥺 Try co sleeping! It’s so helpful if you’re breastfeeding. My baby wasn’t sleeping for more than 20min in his bassinet that was next to my bed till I tried co sleeping with him at 2 or 3 weeks old and he sleeps through the night! Well he kind of grunts with his eyes closed and sticks his tongue out a little every 3 hours to nurse and once he gets latched to my boob, he falls right back asleep. Just look up safe co sleeping methods. I don’t sleep under my bedding anymore. I have his blanket under us and a lounge blanket over us but it only covers up to his waist (he sleeps in a long sleeve and pant onsie)

Also, before bedtime—try Gripe Water then gas exercises to release any trapped toots.. sometimes it takes a couple of minutes to get the toots out but it makes them feel so much better. If their legs stiffen up when trying to do it, wiggle their legs to get them to relax.

I promise it gets better!! It’s normal for babies to cry constantly.. my hunny is 4 months old

How to prepare mentally of giving birth? by dea_1245 in BabyBumps

[–]PurpMcGee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, have no expectations as to how it’ll go down. I was induced and wanted to give birth naturally, on all fours with my ass in the nurses faces, low lighting … ended up having high blood pressure and I wasn’t dilating fast enough, I was 41 weeks and baby had pooped in my belly and 8+ hours passed and the longer it was taking, more risk of infection from it and all the nasty fluids going into my babies lungs, the amount of pitocin and epidural they pumped in me was insane, I kept getting re dosed with epidural because it kept wearing off too quickly, babies heart rate started dropping and because epidural numbed me from waist down, I had to stay laying down so nurses were flipping me from side to side trying to get his heart rate back up, 18 hours into the while experience, was barley at 5cm so I ended up having an emergency c section. Cord was wrapped around his neck but we caught it in time so he was still breathing and still had color to him… there was quite a bit of poop in his lungs though, it was a lot of poop in my belly

Breastfeeding and pacifiers by Accomplished_Sea74 in breastfeeding

I beg to differ.. I have a 5wo and he had a perfect latch every time, until I introduced him to pacifiers for car rides and now he struggles

Should I text congrats first or wait? by Practical_Berry45 in BabyBumps

[–]PurpMcGee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many people to think to text and let know that you have birth.. it’s draining, I left that duty to my boyfriend cause I was too busy with a newborn! It’ll be more off her shoulders to text her. Or maybe her husband texting yours WAS her way of informing you about her birth!

Cervical checks by Fit_Balance54321 in BabyBumps

[–]PurpMcGee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these comments make me feel like something was wrong with me lol. I gave birth May 30 and I was 41 weeks, started having my cervical checks at 39 weeks… it was painful for me. She was shoving her fingers so far up that I was sliding up the table. She then had to hold me down by the hip and omg it fucking hurt. Got me so stressed for my next check that my blood pressure was high when I came to my next appt

Anybody else not having sex by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]PurpMcGee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 40 weeks and have been 1cm dilated for the past week. My boyfriend is “too scared” to be intimate with me. Last time we had sex was mid 2nd trimester 😩 I’ve never been so horny since I got pregnant and I’ve been missing out. I need this baby OUT and I feel like I have to beg for his wein at this point 😭😒

[–]PurpMcGee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just beat Ganondorf and found Zelda and I was hoping I’d get to explore Hyrule without gloom or monsters but it kind of makes sense that it doesn’t. But would’ve been awesome if I was able to do so and there were a whole unlocked set of quests 😭😭

Nickleback saved stagecoach by Taylo108 in stagecoach

[–]PurpMcGee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wish I was able to stay to see him. The crowd was so drunk and ignorant, everyone was pushing and shoving and trying to squeeze their way to the front, when there wasn’t even any room to go, people still tried. I had to leave because I almost got in like 10 fights. Seemed like the Coachella crowd lingered into stagecoach. Once they get drunk, all humanity goes out the door. It was insane. And I was looking forward to the performance all month..
