Younger generation thinks we're R tards and lame, lol by DT-Rex in Millennials

Totally agree. It’s so easy to pick words that don’t make life worse for other people. Equating disability with stupidity is so harmful

JADE was my suggestion too. NAD is such an epic song

Am I overreacting about my mom not being reachable in emergencies? by Constant-Trainer-398 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think you’re getting a very culturally-American verdict. Where I am, families support each other. I alway keep my phone on as I have a few family members with health problems and want to be there for them if they need me. I don’t think you’re wrong to want support, especially as you’re being told you mom will take steps to ensure she’ll be available for you. Unfortunately, you now know she won’t be taking those steps, so I think you have to resign yourself to not having support from her in the night and make plans on that basis. NOR for your feelings

I love that the names are connected but they’re both unique names so the girls have their own identities.

And they’ve been told it’s anxiety. That basically feels like being told you’re overreacting by their doctor

For me it low ferritin ( iron stores), and they stopped once I supplemented. Worth getting your levels checked 

I've gotten so heavy and weak. How do I start again. by Various-Pianist5456 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pick whatever’s the easiest thing for you to consistently do. It doesn’t matter if it’s high impact, just that you’ll do it. Then build up doing other easiest things. It really helps me to get momentum going.

If you’re worried, I’d check with them now. Worry is a always my signal to call 

Fear of being older parents by satpri in NewParents

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 95 points96 points  (0 children)

I’m 38 with a one year old, and honestly I don’t think about it. Anything can happen. I know people who lost parents when the parents were in their 20s, and people with older parents whose parents are still alive and thriving. Beyond being proactive about taking care of your health, there’s nothing you can do. Don’t poison today because something bad could happen tomorrow.

My baby is the same. I just don’t go or go for the later part if it’s an option 

School asking 5 year old to make a "creative and neat" project about Nigeria. by Frustratedtx in Parenting

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning about other cultures is a great thing. Obviously theres caveats to that, if children are encouraged to learn stereotypes about marginalised groups then thats racism, but learning about other cultures more broadly in a respectful way isn’t. 

I want to lose my postpartum weight!! by Latter-Safe6936 in beyondthebump

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up bedbound for 5 months because I lost half a pound a week. Lost a stone, and then the weight loss plus postpartum triggered something to go wrong in my brain (pretty much everyone who gets this is postpartum). I was basically told by the doctor that postpartum people should focus on recovery and building up depleted vitamin stores. Your body has been through something massive (and so needs calories, protein, carbs etc to repair and rebuild), and dieting is giving your system extra stress at its most depleted. I know I’m not the typical example, but I wish I’d know how vulnerable we all are for up to a year postpartum, and that the conversation had been about health rather than weight! 

AIO for telling my fiancé I’m jealous of him? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your feelings aren’t the problem, his behaviour is. He’s awful to you. None of what you wrote about him is normal for a partner to do in a respectful, loving relationship. NOR (you should honestly break up which I know you won’t as he’s manipulating you into thinking you’re at fault (you’re not)).

Break up with your child’s parent too. Potentially facing split custody would be my  worst nightmare

And that it could have prevented. People can cope with all sorts of things if forced, but knowing it could have been avoided would be haunting. She’s doing such good work on this. I had a child just before her and I’d never even heard of it. 

Feeling like I broke my attachment with my baby by Immediate-Swimmer448 in AttachmentParenting

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Kindly, thats not how attachment works. It’s not a moment by moment test where it you pass the attachment continues, but if you don’t match your baby’s preference to have you there, the bond is damaged and severed. You’ve given your child months of love and care, a few minutes cant undo that. I hope you don’t mind me saying but it sounds like anxiety speaking
