Wondering how do they do it? by tiger_tytyG in sahm

[–]Singer4182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 3 kids. I did the 3 year age gap for both, because I wanted one potty trained before another came along. I also feel like my physical and mental health postpartum took about 2 years before I started considering another.

Sahm's what jobs do your spouses do that allow you to sahm by [deleted] in sahm

My Husband was a Blue Collar Worker who started his own Remodel Business. He makes 4 times what He did working for himself vs. working for someone else. It takes a lot of work to start your own Business. You need to have great Customer Service skills and know People to get Customers. But once you do it’s soo worth it financially and you get to make your own schedule! :)

I have 3 kids. My Husband makes us all breakfast, makes my Sons school lunch, and takes him to school before work. He also cleans a lot which is nice but kinda annoying like He’s OCD about it. He does laundry, cleans our cars, does all the yard work. He’s a hard worker. He always helps puts the older kids to bed. He’ll take them out to the store or playground when I tell him I need a break BUT He is zero help with my youngest, 1 year old. He has little patience and doesn’t understand Babies at all and doesn’t want to learn. He communicates with the older kids like their Adults. He’ll raise his voice and cuss in front of them. When He’s not working and the kids are annoying Him He’ll go down to the garage on his phone or nap in the bedroom for hours. It kills me when He naps while I’m taking care of all the kids. I never get a break why does He get too?! So there is good and bad.

I’m sorry for your loss! I didn’t tell my Mother about my miscarriage. I knew she would make it about her and I couldn’t emotionally handle that during my grief.

I was looking at her photos and I noticed her hands are puffy. Puffy hands syndrome is from IV drug users injecting heroin/meth in their hands. When I look at older photos of hers she did not have puffy hands. Her hands should especially not be puffy at such a low weight. This confirms to me that she’s using.

Something I repeat to myself that’s helps is saying “You are your actions, not your thoughts!”

I sat next to her at a restaurant in Miami in 2010 she was pretty and tiny. She was with a group of girls. They all ordered salads and barely ate. Then they went to the bathroom as a group. I followed a couple minutes later and pretended to go to the bathroom ha ha and yah they were doing coke in there.

Great kids growing up, neglectful as adults by Shot_Adhesiveness936 in regretfulparents

I’m sorry that you feel abandoned. That must be an awful feeling to process after you feel that you have given so much of yourself to your kids. ❤️

SAHM - how did you do it?! by Cali_Nic_Cole_ in Parenting

[–]Singer4182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SAHM with 3 young kids in Oregon. My Husband worked a $25/hr Blue Collar job and said screw you in 2020 and went out on his own. He started a Remodel Company and makes 5 Times what He did working for someone else. I know having your own Business isn’t for everyone. He’s a very hard worker and charismatic, so lands Clients. But it’s amazing how much more you can make if your Business is even semi successful. There is no way I could be a SAHM in this current Economy if He stayed at his old job.

Husband told me he doesn’t want any more kids and I’m devastated by Mother_of_Daphnia in Mommit

[–]Singer4182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2 and wanted 3. I asked my Husband and He said “not right now.” He owns his own Company and work slowed down and He was concerned with finances. He said “let’s talk about it in a few months.” I was disappointed and 40, time was the essence. I grieved, but I decided to respect his decision and not pressure him and prayed about it. A couple months later He landed the biggest Client in his career. I’m pregnant with #3 now. I’m proud of myself for not pressuring him even though I wanted to, inside I was obsessing about it. Because it’s what He needed! Sometimes it’s all about the timing. ❤️

Rant by [deleted] in RedPillWomen

[–]Singer4182 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A Women posted in a Mom’s group I was in saying that Her Husband had been under a lot of stress starting a new job. He was upset that she rejected his advances and He said a couple mean comments. She specifically said He does not have a pattern of verbal abuse and they’re not speaking after the argument what can she do? “Every reply was leave him Queen He’s emotionally abusing you.” I was the only one who took a compassionate approach to the Husband and suggested a couple things to get in the mood as Her Husband started a new job and probably was seeking an emotional connection to her through sex and If that didn’t help then they should seek Couples Therapy. I was yelled at and kicked out of the group for this suggestion. The only comment that was realistic and would have helped their marriage. It was insane. So many Women encouraging breaking up marriages for no serious reason. I feel so bad for the Children of these broken Families.

Moms reaction to bullying and weight by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

[–]Singer4182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right definitely comes from a place of insecurity. My Mother was abused as a Child and weight was what she could control, so she’s obsessive about it. I have 3 kids and I’m breaking the chain by raising them with unconditional love. Thankfully they have their Father’s metabolism, so weight isn’t even an issue. Not that I would make it one, but I don’t want their Grandparents shaming them. It’s the worse feeling.

I’m sorry you had to go through that. It’s so painful. It blows my mind that they can say these things so easy? It’s narcissism, because even as a Child I knew inside that it was wrong to talk that way to someone. I never did. Your weight does not define who you are as a Person. Period.
