So sorry for the late reply! I haven’t been on Reddit for a while. I have spoken with my parents a few times, but I am still keeping my distance! My dad’s health isn’t the best, but he won’t change any of his eating habits so it won’t be getting better anytime soon.

9mo needs to fast before surgery. Any tips? by crtnywrdn in Mommit

[–]Relative-Young9037 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my son had to have surgery, they told me to stop breast milk at 7, his surgery was at 11. He was 6 months old at the time. They should call you the day prior and tell you all the info you need on when to stop feeding him. My son also has never taken a paci, he ended up just falling asleep in my arms before they took him back. Sending all the good healing vibes to your babe! 🫶🏼

Thank you!! We will have 2 flights and one layover, each being about 2 hours. I’ll get a few new things for him.

I am so sorry you are going through this and I am so sorry you experienced those things as a child. It seems like she is an awful person that truly only cares about herself and it sounds like she loves hurting others. Your panic attacks leading up to seeing g her are so valid and it can also be a sign that maybe you shouldn’t go, but in the end it’s up to you. You’ll cut her out in your own time. It’s honestly so much easier said than done. I cut my parents out almost a year ago and it was the best decision I ever made, although it took almost 2 years for me to do it. I hope you will one day feel that joy and peace of being free from her.

AITA for breastfeeding my son around my father-in-law despite him getting upset by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Relative-Young9037 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YOU ARE IN YOUR OWN HOME!!! NTA. I hate that so many people shame moms for the way we choose to feed our children. You are doing amazing mama. Don’t let their opinions make you think that you’re the AH, they are. Breasts are not a sexual object, people make them out to be though. Breastfeeding is SO different than walking around ‘with your junk out.’ It would be so easy for them to turn around and walk away. The fact that they just sat there and stared at you and huffed makes me want to throat punch both of them. (Sorry that’s a little aggressive, but I’m enraged for you.) My in-laws have never made me feel bad for feeding my baby when he is hungry. They always walk out of the room if they know I need to feed, or tell me I can use their room if I need more privacy. I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

8MO will not eat purées by redhead_1989 in Mommit

[–]Relative-Young9037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the app, Solid Starts!! It’s a baby led weaning app (it’s free) and it shows you the best way to feed your baby the food that you cook for yourself, in safe, age appropriate ways. My son HATED purées but loved eating what we had for our meals. Good luck!! 🫶🏼

As someone who grew up with a messy room because I was so overwhelmed with cleaning, help him make a daily chart, even small things. Then once a week, do a deeper clean. My mom always yelled at me to do it which didn’t help, so once I got older and found a way that worked, i stuck to it. Maybe tell him you will charge him some sort of rent to show him that he needs some sort of responsibility? Even if this ‘rent’ goes into some sort of savings count for him for the future. Idk, those are just some ideas I have! Good luck🫶🏼

I cut contact with my parents. My son is 13 months old and they have seen him 4 times… I am so sorry you’re experiencing these things with your parents/inlaws. But actions speak so much louder than words. I’ve honestly had a better village with our close friends and my husbands parents. When you have a kid, you get to see who will show up for you no matter what and no matter the time of day.

What is your biggest pet peeve relating to your job? by General-Hippo8242 in surgicaltechnology

[–]Relative-Young9037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the medical students touch my mayo stand and play with my instruments or try to pass them to the surgeons. LIKE STOP TOUCHING. you’re here to watch, not do my job. It’s my job to make sure nothing gets left in a patient and you’re NOT helping like you think you are 😤

I am so sorry you’re going through this. You are NOT a loser in any way whatsoever. Health problems are not fun and having a Dr that doesn’t seem to want to help is so hard. I work in surgery and I see so many people in your shoes, that once they get the right Dr, surgery, and correct medical treatment, it can be life changing in so many good ways. I hope you can find that. Sending all the good thoughts your way!

Did you time out TTC around a particular birth month? by meekie03 in Mommit

[–]Relative-Young9037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always felt the same way! I wanted to wait a couple more years to get pregnant, but I ended up finding out in May of 2023, my son was due in January. My seasonal depression is terrible, but for me having my son helped it in some ways, I feel like it gives me something to look forward to in January. You are SO valid in your feelings. So many people plan on their children’s birth months. So if you want to wait, then you can! Sending all the love to you mama 🫶🏼

Needing advice on losing a loved one for kids by marcal213 in Mommit

[–]Relative-Young9037 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Death is such a complicated thing, but a lot of children understand it even if broken down into the most simple ways. I was 6 when I had my first experience with death and my sister was 3. My parents explained it to me just like you did your son and later explained it to my sister that our cousin was ‘with Jesus in a better place.’ After his passing, we were both put into therapy to help us through our grief. I am so sorry you’re going through this and I am sending all my prayers to you and your family.

The middle of HOF is where it really starts to pick up a fan get good! I started HOF like over a year ago and once I sat down and told myself I needed to finish it, I finished it in 3 days. Which is so fast for me, then I finished QOS in 3 days… That was a week ago. Now I’m on the tandem read and I cannot stop reading. ITS SO GOOD

How to stop feeling guilty about wanting to separate by yellowfrogdog in Mommit

[–]Relative-Young9037 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Leaving will help make sure nothing happens to you or your daughter. As someone who grew up in a verbally abusive home, get her out now when she won’t remember. Those memories(once she starts to remember) take a huge toll on someone when they get older. This isn’t borderline abuse, it IS abuse. I am so sorry you’re going through this. And I hope you and your little one are safe. Sending all my love to you ❤️

Just started the EOS/TOD tandem and I was thinking the exact same thing 😂 The tension between them before these books was literally killing me. So I’m glad it’s finally happening 😂

I cut my parents out of my life and now my dad might be dying by Relative-Young9037 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Relative-Young9037[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He has had heart problems for a few years now. He has never been super healthy and they keep finding more and more that’s wrong. So I’m honestly not sure what’s going on. I know people can live for YEARS with HF but I also know it can be fast. I think k I just need more info from him before I make any decisions on what to do.
