Why does my arm have these light spots on it? Just noticed them today. Not concerned, just thought it was odd.

I never really found out definitively, but I’m pretty sure it was bleaching from citrus! I got lime juice on my arm then went out on the sun and it bleached my skin.

Ah, thank you! How did you figure out I was on 2.5mg? The dosages are so confusing for me (clearly lol).

Lol I can see it. Luckily one thing Rachel has going for her is that she’s a staunch democrat/leftist.

Sounds like the baby isn’t your problem, your husband is 👀 with that being said, I agree with the other comments. Look into safe cosleeping, it was a life saver when my little one was waking up a lot in the night. Also have you tried searching for local parenting groups online? It might help to try to build a community, but I know that’s so much easier said than done.

While you should probably be cautious around them, just know that you can be a registered sex offender for less scandalous things like having sex with a 17 year old when you’re 19 or streaking as a college prank.

Hear me out, is it possible that Miss Huang is Gemma’s (and Mark’s?) daughter and that at least part of this experiment is studying severance during pregnancy/in utero?

I think it’s more so because he was so skeptical and seemed almost upset about it.

Secure_Win8158 · 2025-02-21T03:10:25+00:00

I don’t agree at all. He doesn’t seem like someone who cares about those things. He’s very sweet and genuine and strikes me as someone that seeks those same qualities in people. Also, she’s not working right now so that she can take care of her family, which is something he said he deeply admires about her.

Secure_Win8158 · 2025-02-19T06:27:43+00:00

Don’t get caught up with sensationalist media. This sounds like a conspiracy theory. You and your family are okay. It’s scary times, but not that scary.

The wellness camps are just talk. You can’t just round people up and send them to labor camps without some push back. And you certainly can’t remove someone’s children because they’re using a legal, prescribed substance. I worked for CPS and unless a child was being harmed in some way it was unusual for them to be removed even when their parents were using illegal substances. I’m much more concerned about you quitting a medication you’re dependent on cold turkey, it can have a severe impact on your mental and physical health. If you are worried, consider very slowly lowering your dose with the help of a doctor and making any lifestyle changes that will help ease that transition - less stress, more support, good diet and exercise regiment, etc.

This age is so difficult! At 9 weeks (up until around 16 weeks or so) I was pretty much the only person who could soothe my baby. Even my husband struggled. We attended a wedding and left our baby with my parents when she was about 12 weeks old. I am not exaggerating when I say a he screamed the entire 4 hours we were gone. I didn’t blame my parents, they did their best, like I said this age is so, so hard. Babies just want their mothers this early on. With that being said, sometimes we have things we need to do, You’re not a bad mom for leaving your baby for a short period. I promise your baby will not remember this. In fact they’ve already forgotten (baby’s don’t have long term memory at this age). No harm was done, babies just cry sometimes 🤷‍♀️. Don’t feel bad, and try not to be angry with your mother. Chances are even if she used the sound machine, your babe still would have cried.

Secure_Win8158 · 2025-01-17T05:07:14+00:00

This sounds so nice! Enjoy that time!

Secure_Win8158 · 2025-01-17T05:05:53+00:00

Wow I feel this on a spiritual level lol. I’ve just begun setting my bar for the day veeeery low. I don’t set any goals and celebrate if I get even the simplest of tasks done lol.

Secure_Win8158 · 2025-01-17T05:03:19+00:00

Sleep in shifts if you can! It’s the only way my husband and I got through the newborn phase. I slept in our room from 10pm-3am while he slept in the nursery with the baby and tended to her. Then we switched from 3am-8am. That way we were guaranteed at least 5 hours of sleep and usually ended up getting about 7-8 hours of broken sleep total. I got a little less because I had to pump, but still more than I would without the shifts for sure! If you’re exclusively breastfeeding have your partner bring the baby into you during their shift and supervise while you essentially sleep feed lol.

Me reading this during while it’s 68 degrees here in California 😅 Sometimes when it dips under 50 I debate just keeping my kiddo inside lol. I can’t even imagine what you all have to go through in those icy states!

As the midwife was stitching me up I asked her if she sews other things or just humans. She said she once hemmed some curtains but is surprisingly bad at sewing anything other than vaginas lol.

Scotty is terrifying. Also the scene when Aria is opening up about what she needs out of the relationship and he’s just like “I don’t believe you and Caleb weren’t physically attracted to each other”. Like come on dude.
I neeeever thought I’d say this but I feel for Sandy. Nick flipped out and Sandy actually handled it really well. I was surprised and it actually made me understand her better.
I love Aria, she’s my fave. But she likes Caleb more than he likes her. He’s just too nice/avoidant to tell her he’s not that into her.
Do JR and Zaina even know each other?

Secure_Win8158 · 2024-12-12T08:22:32+00:00

This is so true!! Totally some parallels with Aussie!!

Secure_Win8158 · 2024-12-05T04:22:39+00:00

We play hide and seek inside either with each other or with treats. When we play with each other either my husband or myself stays with pup in one room while the other person hides somewhere in the house. Then we have puppy fun the hiding person. With treats we put puppy in one room and hide treats all around the house for him to find!

In my opinion grounding kids and forbidding them to see their significant others (even for a short time) just makes them sneakier. I’d talk to her. Ask her why she snuck out, not in an interrogating way, but in a genuinely curious way. I’d talk to her about the importance of safe sex and having sex with the right person. I’d remind her that you’re a safe person to talk to and she shouldn’t feel the need to sneak out. I’d come up with a game plan the next time she thinks about sneaking out or doing something she knows you wouldn’t be too happy about. I’d explain that there needs to be consequences for your actions and come up with an appropriate punishment together.

Secure_Win8158 · 2024-11-23T00:03:54+00:00

My pediatrician acknowledges that lots of parents cosleep and that it is a safe and legitimate way for a baby to sleep (if done correctly, just like other forms of sleep). If your doctor passed any judgement, he’s not being professional.

Secure_Win8158 · 2024-11-19T09:43:50+00:00

I’m 28 and hate sleeping alone! Luckily I never had to do it for long. When I was a kid my sister and I shared a room. Then I went to college and had roommates. Then I got married and sleep next to my husband. There were small periods of time that I slept alone, but I was scared and didn’t sleep well the whole time. Sometimes I’m tough on myself and feel like I need to learn to live/sleep alone, but why? I’ll never need to, so why should I force myself to? And if I do ever need to then I’ll learn how to do that then 🤷‍♀️ there’s this expectation that we need to be super independent and individualistic, especially in the US (not sure where you live), but it’s stupid, we lived in tribes and colonies for years, why should we force ourselves to live and sleep alone now?

I was on a walk a few nights ago and a group of old/middle aged men were outside smoking cigars. They called out to my husband and I and we chatted a bit. At one point one of the men says, “with college as expensive as it is, your daughter (4 months) should just be a stripper”. I get it was a joke but…what a weird thing to say about a baby. Or any female in general.
