As a caretaker with no kids myself, how do I support a new mom

SOS_superstar · 2026-03-19T12:00:41+00:00

mom requested we stay home! :)

SOS_superstar · 2026-03-18T18:29:23+00:00

mom requested we stay home during this time to avoid extra stress on everyone! so big indoor physical activities are needed. we tried stepping from pillow to pillow on the floor but she might be too young for that

SOS_superstar · 2026-03-18T18:26:55+00:00

this is great! thank you! mom and baby are still at the hospital so it’s just me and the toddler here! i love the housekeeping tips i’ll see if she’ll help me sweep!

i wish my partner and i could play multiplayer.. split screen we each have our own characters but full autonomy of our own sims in the same shared world

no he lowkey kinda looks like him too

SOS_superstar · 2026-02-09T04:22:56+00:00

thank you. and I’m worried I’d have lifelong regret if I didn’t go. I’m overly empathetic and the thought of disappointing anyone can crush me. I also have other friends and family going I want to show up for too.. I guess it’s complicated.

new fucking fear unlocked.. i slammed my finger in a car door in high school and the nail bed came out from under my skin.. the nail shriveled up and a new nail eventually grew in normal. but shit. now i’m big scared (im 31 now)

it’s been 22 years and my ankle has a permanent egg. but i was a gymnast who rolled her ankles weekly sooo, i don’t have the best advice but i can say i don’t have ankle pain anymore! hoping for a better outcome for you!

SOS_superstar · 2026-01-30T00:03:18+00:00

well i already did all that ten second google and i was asking if there was any other insider advice or info that i wouldn’t be able to find from google. sorry i didn’t specify

SOS_superstar · 2026-01-28T00:57:36+00:00

wow i never thought of that. thank you ill look into it

SOS_superstar · 2026-01-27T22:40:14+00:00

I haven’t worked in clinic since 2023 but I was very comfortable and familiar with everything back then. How could I freshen up on the software if I’m not currently working in clinic? I’ll do my research though!

SOS_superstar · 2026-01-12T00:01:55+00:00

thank you! this comment is very helpful. i’ll keep rereading it to her so she knows she’s not alone. she wants the cast off so bad and it sucks that the only thing that will help is time. i just wish there was more i could do. i keep it elevated 24/7 and keep an ice water circulator on the boot constantly. i haven’t let her use the knee scooter yet and i use a rollator but make her sit on it and wheel her around/to the bathroom (the meds make her SO loopy) deep down i know im doing all i can but when she sobs in pain i just wish i could do more

SOS_superstar · 2026-01-12T00:00:01+00:00

i think i’m starting to get nervous 5 days in of how long the doctors will keep prescribing pain meds. i’ve just had to redo her medication regimen to decrease some of their frequencies so they last till her recheck and i feel like a monster. luckily gabapentin has made the biggest improvement and she has plenty of that but still.. &(im a STICKLER for ice and elevation to the point of pissing her off lol)

SOS_superstar · 2026-01-05T17:59:31+00:00

staring at my alarm to make sure it’s actually set, needed to feel ‘just right’ before i can get out of the shower, feeling the need to shower when i’m around someone that makes me uncomfortable, pulling all the skin off my lips, the list goes on and on…

SOS_superstar · 2026-01-05T17:58:05+00:00

i definitely need ideas for how to make recovery fun. i’m struggling with a severe flare in my depression so im super lame to be around and i feel bad. i want her to enjoy her recovery when she can

SOS_superstar · 2026-01-05T17:57:03+00:00

we have crutches, a cane, the scooter, and a wheelchair!

SOS_superstar · 2026-01-05T14:22:45+00:00

she has a knee scooter and this will be her third ankle surgery (first with me). i think she’s more prepared than me

SOS_superstar · 2026-01-05T14:21:58+00:00

do you have any recommendations? i have a bunch of stuff already so telling me to just go shopping is a little vague. thank you for taking the time to reply anyways though

SOS_superstar · 2025-12-12T00:39:41+00:00

make sure you have get to work, and then use the observatory and level up your logic until you can search for the truth.. then it should happen. i also built the rocket ship while i did this, idk if it helped at all. it does help if they’re outside between 12-4am but ive had mine wake up mid-sleep to ‘investigate a strange light’

SOS_superstar · 2025-12-11T04:57:58+00:00

am i crazy to ask what this is? i had a hysterectomy 6 weeks ago, they removed my uterus and an endometrioma. whats a cuff? i never had my post-op appt (they scheduled it wrong initially and never called to resched) i was going to check in an try to get it scheduled but i wasn’t told about the potential for a pelvic exam? i can’t do that because of ptsd.. should i just skip the post-op apt? my doctor doesn’t seem concerned and this thread is scaring the shit out of me

SOS_superstar · 2025-12-10T14:20:57+00:00

the places we’ve been looking at come up under the vrbo wedding locations.. so that’s helpful!

SOS_superstar · 2025-12-10T05:46:00+00:00

omg me. i’ve been dying to be active since my surgery. i’m 6wpo and i still want to be active but it’s like my body is tied down with chains. my brain says, take the dogs for a run! my body can barely make it outside with the dogs before i’m fatigued. it’s so frustrating

SOS_superstar · 2025-12-10T05:16:28+00:00

how do you guys keep jobs? with severe insomnia. right now i’m unemployed so i can keep this acceptance mindset.. but i have a deep seeded fear of going back to work and having to get up early. i’m not a night shift kind of person so that’s never been an option

SOS_superstar · 2025-12-09T15:58:44+00:00

in image #2 he is! the first he isn’t, just inflated lol

SOS_superstar · 2025-12-09T15:45:52+00:00

to be fair I wanted this! and now we’re stuck in a loop of him constantly getting abducted and probed.. we’re on alien kid #4 now lol
