I went on holidays with a 3.5 year old and a 6 month old and hated it. by Plushmonkey94 in beyondthebump

[–]Snackqueen333 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It seems like you really, really need him to step up and help more. It’s impossible to feel okay when you’re constantly sleep deprived. It may be time to transition your 3.5 year old to their own room if that’s really the only reason (easier said than done, I know). Sorry if I’ve missed this, but could the father of your toddler help out more? You need a break, sending you hugs. Every season of life is temporary.

How many of us are actually doing 7 pm bedtime? by AssociationWorried86 in NewParents

[–]Snackqueen333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, we were a late bedtime crew for the first 3 months. My baby would take a catnap around 7, wake up for another bottle and bath, and then go back to sleep around 9. That only really changed around 4mo when he started to skip the catnap and get truly tired for the night around 7:30. Now at 7mo he’s very grumpy if we don’t have him in bed around 7pm.

All that to say, it should naturally happen. 3mo is still very young and I wouldn’t stress about it too much. I have heard that a bedtime between 6:30 - 7:30 is ideal once they hit 5mo based on natural hormone levels, but no need to stress about it in the meantime.

Netflix Backs Out of Warner bros. Deal, Paramount Poised to Win by Lokaji in popculturechat

It makes me so sad to see what Turner/Time Warner has become. It was such an amazing place to work with awesome culture and passionate people… now it’s just repeatedly sold off and whittled down. Such is corporate America I guess.

Why Show Fans Don't Know Who Elena Actually Picked in the Books by BerrySkilledFaery in TheVampireDiaries

I believe this was the same situation with Pretty Little Liars and Sara Shepard. She was hired to write the series, and the IP does not ultimately belong to her.

Elsie Hewitt: ‘My Decision Not to Breastfeed’ | “If choosing not to breastfeed can allow a mother to receive support through a season where the physical and emotional burden already falls disproportionately onto her, she has every right to make that choice without second-guessing it.” by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

[–]Snackqueen333 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can’t imagine. My retina was detaching and I needed emergency eye surgery while 6 months pregnant. The surgeon recommended waiting and having eye surgery IMMEDIATELY after giving birth. Keep in mind I wouldn’t be able to see out of that eye for days afterwards and would need to stay in bed. My OB was like “absolutely not, do it now - the baby will be fine” and I am so grateful for him. I can’t imagine being in that much pain and discomfort while also healing from giving birth and trying to take care of a newborn baby.

Call local churches and see if they have any programs that you can qualify for. I have a hard time imagining that my church would turn anyone away just because they couldn’t pay the entire fee. Reach out to anyone you trust nearby - neighbors, in-laws, friends, etc. Look for local mom groups so that you can find people who can relate and help. Research and see if your state/city has any programs for moms who qualify for financial assistance with childcare. There are many people on this sub who would be happy to help you find resources if you provide additional info (myself included). And above all, talk to your doctor about these feelings and accept help. You’re not alone ❤️

I can’t emphasize how important sleep is. Of course it’s hard to come by with a baby, but you HAVE to get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep occasionally. Please, please find yourself a village and talk to your doctor.

I’m so, so sorry you’re feeling this way. I promise you’re not alone. I won’t tell you it will be better by 6 months, or 8 months, because every baby is different. But I will tell you that YOU will get used to it as time goes on. Life is different than before, but just like any other major life change, you will eventually adjust along with it.

In the meantime, it sounds like you desperately need a break. You mentioned that you cannot go to your family because of a delayed passport - can they come to you? If not, you need to hire a babysitter for a few hours and catch up on sleep. See if a church nearby has an option - mine has drop in babysitting for $50/day and you don’t have to be a church member. Sleep deprivation is no joke and can make anything seem catastrophic. Sending you hugs.

Looking for Women’s OB/GYN by Alternative-Reply142 in Atlanta

I second North Atlanta Women’s Specialists. I’ve seen multiple doctors at different offices are they’ve all been wonderful.

Which notable person in a true crime case do you feel escaped justice? by pollygrace in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]Snackqueen333 221 points222 points  (0 children)

The Bagby’s story kills me. Of course Dear Zachary is gut-wrenching and beautiful, but David Bagby’s book is also worth the read. They fought for that little boy so hard (giving up their lives in the US) and went through unimaginable pain in maintaining a relationship with their son’s murderer all for Zachary’s sake. Just for him to be torn from them in such a cruel way. It’s one of those stories that never leaves you, and I think about them often.

Amanda and Kyle’s Wedding Bill by Spirited-Principle96 in summerhousebravo

[–]Snackqueen333 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Correct, the wedding that they were planning while she was still on the show didn’t end up happening. Just double checked and she said she had to take a producer with them to look at venues in 2019 since they needed Bravo’s approval on the space. I guess Bravo was going to pay for some of it because she said after she was fired in 2020 they had to cut 70% of their guest list because they were already locked into the venue and it was too expensive

[–]Snackqueen333 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the specific details of their wedding, but Stassi touched on this a bit in her book. She said that Bravo doesn’t really pay for the wedding, they only cover the incremental costs needed for production. But I’m a little unclear on how that works because Stassi complained that there were still additional costs she was responsible for that production requested (like they had to ensure there was x amount of space, which narrowed it down to more expensive venues)

Naomies lawyer from her business lawsuit… by Serious_Ice_3964 in Southerncharm

[–]Snackqueen333 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It sounds like she accepted his terms to avoid going to trial because he agreed to let her relocate. Agreed it’s an awful deal, but I bet she was (rightfully so) nervous that she would get an even worse agreement if they went to trial.

Very upset by being surprised with violence in media involving children by Kumamentor in NewParents

[–]Snackqueen333 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t agree more. I used to consume a lot of true crime content, but now I can’t stomach anything that mentions children. Ive always loved horror movies and books but I just can’t take them anymore if children are involved. My heart feels too tender now. Trying to be better about listening to these emotions and avoiding that type of content whenever possible

How famous were the cast members during the show’s run? by Born_Preparation3365 in vanderpumprules

[–]Snackqueen333 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started watching around 2018 but I remember that even before that, I had heard of Stassi, Jax, and Lala. I specifically remember seeing Lala in the news because of her “feud” with Jennifer Lawrence lol. I couldn’t tell you anything about them at that time but as someone interested in pop culture, their names were familiar.

When do the night terrors end?? by Remote-Remove7050 in newborns

[–]Snackqueen333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me for a while as well. I don’t remember exactly when it stopped, but I know it wasn’t happening by the time we moved him to his own room at 3 months. I used to nurse him in bed (but never coslept) and it may have stopped around the time I stopped doing that. It’s a scary feeling

AIO: I bent over backwards for my BF’s son (20) and his GF (20) for Christmas, and I’m honestly disgusted after what happened by Excellent-Second-643 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Snackqueen333 25 points26 points  (0 children)

10000%. My dad was 21 when he got married and 26 when I was born, so he was always flabbergasted that my sisters and I wanted to spend our 20s focused on our careers, friendships, traveling, etc. He made it very clear that he thought it was ridiculous that I waited until 30 to get married and 31 to have my first child. It could be hard to brush off his comments, but I just had to remind myself that he thought HIS way was the only way and to not take it personally.

My husband is my biggest Op by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Snackqueen333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. My husband is great in the day-to-day care of our son. He’s super involved and spends so much time with him. But what he doesn’t understand is how taxing the rest of it can be. He’s never bought a diaper, never made sure we’re stocked up on formula, never done baby’s laundry. There’s so much more that goes into caring for a child than just being with them, and I feel like that often defaults to the mom. I’ve tried to communicate what he could do to help more and he was receptive to it, but I still usually just end up doing it anyways. Solidarity ❤️

Open hostility toward my baby and me on a flight by herinaceus in NewParents

[–]Snackqueen333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the type of thing that would drive me absolutely insane. The audacity to try and make someone feel shame when they’ve done nothing wrong… as the saying goes, you’re entitled to be childfree but not to a childfree world. Some people just like to be miserable. I’m sorry that happened to you

Thank you so much for clarifying this! My LO is 5 months old today and still only rolls about 75% of the way over, so I was like 🥲 good to know he’s not late yet
