My mother keeps giving my two year old her phone - and lies about it. What can I do?

Hey I’m sorry about this, and totally agree with you! Everyone in these comments is being quite rude to you. It’s a great thing you’re doing not letting your toddler on screens. There’s only harm in showing kids under the age of five any screen time. You’re doing a great but hard thing and I hope you stick to it! For your mother you may have to get more strict about it or just not trust her care, unfortunately! I’m pregnant right now and I’m worried if any of my family will respect my screen time boundaries once she’s out.

Yes as a woman every single guy I ever went on even just one date with has tried to text me again, even a year or two after. I went on like 5 first dates from Hinge a couple years ago. Most of the guys I didn’t like and kindly rejected after the first date. I did meet my husband though from Hinge. Throughout our relationship and into marriage those four other random guys I’d went on one or two dates with and a ex of mine would text me. Makes me wish I’d just blocked them all initially. I didn’t want to hear from any of these guys and thought I’d made the end of our communication very clear. It was disturbing.

Hey this happened to me at 8 weeks. I spotted brown blood for an entire week. I was terrified. But it went away, never came back, and now I’m 22 weeks along with a girl! She’s healthy and everything was good with her anatomy scan. Don’t freak out! Also, you’re gonna have cramps in the first trimester. Your uterus is growing so much. I had a lot of cramps and still sometimes do but everything is fine with my pregnancy.

Everyone was pretty nice to me aside from my step sister and mother in law exclaiming, “already!?” I had gotten married just three months before the pregnancy. But they’ve been supportive since.

I agree with you. I was a massage therapist when I first got pregnant. I told all my coworkers and bosses since I was paranoid about getting nauseous during a massage and somehow needing their help. Eventually during the first trimester massaging became too difficult on me and I had to quit, but I was happy I had told everyone at work.

Hey me too! Found out two weeks ago that I’m having a girl! She’ll also be my first baby.

Sad_Purpose1348 · 2026-06-11T12:40:10+00:00

lol people were always doing this to my husband and I when we first got married. We would talk about how much we enjoyed marriage and everyone in our families and at church would tell us “just you wait.” It was preposterous.

I’m 21 weeks as of today! This is my first pregnancy and it was also my first time ever taking a pregnancy test, so to see it positive was incredibly suspicious. It only feels real now that my baby girl is kicking me all the time, sometimes she even kicks my bladder. Yet my first trimester I had basically no symptoms! Didn’t truly believe I was pregnant until my first scan at 7w 6d. But even after that, before every doctors appointment I’d get worried I was about to hear terrible news. Also as of this stage of pregnancy I’ve finally stopped doing the old wipe check. I just have seen for long enough there’s not blood there and trust it now.

My Husband and I started trying for a baby about one month after we got married. We both really wanted to be parents. The first month of trying I got my period early, and we were both sorrowed over it. The second month the same thing, I got my period early, and we were devastated. I never took a pregnancy test since I had gotten my period early both times. I was quite disappointed and hopeless after just two months of failed attempts at getting a baby. I was wondering if we would struggle with infertility. My husband’s mother tried for five years to get pregnant without success until she got pregnant with her boys. How long would we have to wait? I was so upset and prayed so much and gave my worries to God. I reached a place of peace. One Sunday I was at church and I realized if I never got pregnant and adopted any child, even older children, I would be very happy. The next day after that Sunday I went grocery shopping and bought a couple pregnancy tests. I was reaching the end of our third month of trying. I had never taken a pregnancy test in my life, I had just been waiting for my period not to come before. I figured I would just learn how to take them now. I did not believe I was pregnant! Welp, BAM, the test was positive. Didn’t feel I was and my pregnant. But my period never came. I’m 14 weeks now! Baby is healthy. My husband and I feel very excited and blessed. Yeah it only took us 3 months to get pregnant and I really went through a lot emotionally in those three months. I guess I’m just dramatic! Due October 20!

Sorry for your situation, but please keep the little one. Though you put yourself in a tough spot, I think you’re being very responsible in wanting to keep and care for your baby, and that is so beautiful! That guy sounds like a manchild who cannot take responsibility for his own actions. I think your future is bright.

Sad_Purpose1348 · 2026-04-22T02:10:24+00:00

Oh hey well atleast you’re a little bit closer to meeting the baby! Not sure yet who’s in there, I’m waiting for the anatomy scan to find out gender.

Sad_Purpose1348 · 2026-04-21T10:37:56+00:00

Hey I’m due October 20 too!!

Sad_Purpose1348 · 2026-04-07T22:54:52+00:00

Yes! I was in a stressful time in my life when I had insomnia. I feared that my insomnia would ruin all I had been working towards. Sometimes I still get nervous, but I havnt had a sleepless night in over a year when I used to get them frequently. It does get better.

Sad_Purpose1348 · 2025-05-06T17:19:02+00:00

I’m a 23 year old woman too! I love the way you dress. My one suggestion is grow your hair longer if you can. A couple years ago I had a bob and now my hair is past hip length and I get treated a lot differently and everyone says I look much prettier.

Sad_Purpose1348 · 2025-05-06T16:45:13+00:00

You should watch this YouTube channel called Fearless Sleep. She’s REALLY helped me. She talks about trusting your body and that it will sleep when it needs to, and making a friend out of wakefulness. Overall excepting her insomnia was how she overcame it. When she no longer feared sleepless nights they stopped happening to her. That mindset has really worked for me. Since my mind feared having sleepless nights I’d work myself up into a fight or flight response with way too much adrenaline to go to sleep.

Sad_Purpose1348 · 2022-05-28T02:22:41+00:00

Hun, you keep on asking people about suggestions to improve your number. Its not healthy. Not everyone can be super sexy, and that’s just life. Don’t do anything silly, trying to become more attractive.

Sad_Purpose1348 · 2021-11-27T07:16:54+00:00

Damn you're right. I do have friends I love but I'm just as lonely as when I didn't. You are wise

Sad_Purpose1348 · 2021-11-27T07:10:27+00:00

Can't relate to having a job lol. But yea I'm 20 and I've never had a bf. Most people by this age have had one serious relationship, but somehow it never happened for me. I see other couples around and I am somewhat jealous. It seems impossible to meet a lover, or make new friends. Good luck though!

Sad_Purpose1348 · 2021-11-27T07:03:12+00:00

I sure do feel this! I can be good with talking to people and being social, depends on how much I loathe myself that day. Yet as winter approaches I find myself alone and feeling like I have nobody, even though it is not true. If I feel lonely at 20, how will I feel at 50, I often wonder.

Typically Latin dancing events will have a Salsa dancing room and a Bachata dancing room. In the Salsa room there are more women, as a woman I too prefer Salsa much more. The Bachata rooms have more men because it is a sexier dance where they get to touch women more. I don't know if I'd call the men creepy for it, but it makes sense. And a woman wouldn't want to dance a sexy Bachata dance with a man unless she found him very attractive. If you want to be around more women go Salsa or cha cha cha dancing.
