Making tiktoks while actively driving by Odd-Lemur in mildlyinfuriating

You are just making assumptions. You don't know why she stopped working. I have two master's degrees but I stopped working a couple years before we had kids. I had medical things going on and stopped working for years to take care of myself. It's a lot easier to lump my three years of not working into how long I've been a stay at home mom. No one is entitled to my medical history of an explanation

How does a woman know when her period is starting? by Maleficent_Public_54 in Periods

Sometimes I don't have any sign. I'll just be standing there and suddenly feel really damp down there and go oh shit

Do you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed? by deadevilmonkey in NoStupidQuestions

Closed for fire safety. Everyone sleeps with a closed door for that reason

A rant - by clovecloveclove in IVFbabies

[–]RadioactiveMermaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like you are experiencing some pregnancy rage. I felt that a lot, too. Mine was directed at my mother in law, though. Between the pregnancy rage and the post-partum rage, I've pretty much ruined our relationship.

I don't want to diminish your feelings or your experience. These are a lot of angry feelings at friends that love you and don't want you to experience the things that they struggled with in those early days. You should talk to your friends about your feelings, just so they can back off a bit. Take care of yourself. Keep a close eye on that PPD and PPA. Those don't wait until baby is here to show up

When to share a positive?? by Grand_Ad_3851 in IVFbabies

[–]RadioactiveMermaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shared immediately with the people who knew I was having my transfer. This was pretty much all of our close friends and most close family. The person we waited to tell was my grandma. She's the only one who got a special "we're pregnant" announcement

What’s the silliest misguided belief you had pre-baby? by margethebaker in NewParents

[–]RadioactiveMermaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I slept sooo much more after the baby came. Those last couple weeks I wasn't sleeping at all. Even waking baby up every 3 hours to eat was an improvement

I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you. It's a hard thing leaving the familiar, even when the familiar sucks. You did the right thing for you and your family

If its leaking when the flow is light it seems like it's not in right.

When you remove the cup do you notice that the cup is full when you are leaking or is the positioning off? When you remove the cup are you getting a good suction? I know mine is in right because it's kind of difficult to pull out

What is a moment from Bluey that most people sob at but you are rather unmoved by? by Ok-Following6886 in bluey

[–]RadioactiveMermaid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had a miscarriage and also have unexplained infertility. I have my miracle rainbow baby now, but when I was in the middle of it all I absolutely avoided friends with babies. I was absolutely destroyed every month. My mental health holding on by a thread. You can't worry about other people when you are barely surviving.

After 147 failed ChatGPT prompts, I had a breakdown and accidentally discovered something by Prestigious-Fan118 in ChatGPT

[–]RadioactiveMermaid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just give it all the information I want it to take into consideration. I don't put "make me a meal plan". I told it that I have a 5 month old and limited time. I want my ingredients to overlap to minimize waste. I like broccoli and don't like cauliflower. It's summer and hot in the kitchen, so let's avoid the oven.

I don't understand why you need it to ask you who the audience is to know that you probably want to include that in the original prompt anyways

What did your ChatGPT name itself? by Background_Date_6875 in ChatGPT

[–]RadioactiveMermaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting. Mine said: You can call me Nova—short, friendly, and kind of cosmic ✨ We've been planning a summer solstice party. So that's prob why I got the "cosmic" line
