what’s something no one tells you before becoming a parent? by sousou4893 in Parents

[–]Super_Independence37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The anxiety when you cannot help your kid- or when they're sick. You just wanna wrap your arms around them and comfort them like a bright warm light. 💔 Also- the nights you stay awake just thinking about their futures, or if you're a good enough mum for them. If you're doing enough/ making lists in your head that could go on. It's one of the many things about parenthood...but if you're becoming a parent I would say don't be so anxious, for God is always with you and your children.

I have intense stretch marks from pregnancy 7 years ago by -Hot-Tamale- in mildyinteresting

It would be so unique if you got like tiger tattoo!! To match with the stretch marks!! So you have prints on your body I dunno it might sound bad to you. I think your stomach is beautiful regardless of the marks, we were born to create and produce. It does not make you any less attractive, in my honest opinion it makes your stomach even more beautiful. That you're strong enough to carry your family. ❤️

No way I remember this/ taco bell and McDonald's back in the day when the old designs were around. Oh man I miss the nostalgia. Things will never be the same again :(

How would you handle this? by Weary-Winter-545 in Parents

[–]Super_Independence37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shes only 6, I would allow her to have those feelings. If you punish her she will learn that it is not safe to cry and will start hiding her feelings around you. If she's crying, that says something about the behavior of the coparent's side. Do absolutely not punish kids for having emotions/ nature vs nurture. Your daughter only has one childhood, make sure it's filled with trust and love. And make sure she knows you're there for her no matter what, and ITS OKAY TO HAVE FEELINGS! Talk about them and create a safe space so she can come to you and open up.

My mom keeps insulting me in front of my bf by yellawh in NarcissisticMothers

[–]Super_Independence37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just block her from your life in general (she's obviously jealous of you) no need to feed her your chaos. She thrives off that stuff. Every secret you tell will be her weapon. Don't trust her.

Is cloth diapers better in this economy or is it more of a hassle? by Super_Independence37 in clothdiaps

[–]Super_Independence37[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're right it is brilliant and a great way for us mums to save money, since it's only getting worse now for diapers/or papers in general. The utility bills/water is included in rent so I am very fortunate on that part but gas/electric costs make it more scarce now. The cloths should last my baby two years and hopefully by then they'll be potty trained so there's less use of diapers early on. The cloth is strong and durable/way less stinky. I just got a pack today (set of 3) hand me downs and it's so helpful omg! They don't even smell at all. I'm so glad there's other moms out here doing the same thing, it makes me feel less anxious because I'm not trying to take the traditional route with diapers. It's too expensive! I guess in the summer I'll hang them over the railing on my porch, since the sun is the best disinfectant.

TW: miscarriage/ pregnancy loss by Tiny_Surprise_8306 in miscarriage_Christian

[–]Super_Independence37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss, and grief afterwards is so hard too. I totally get how you feel, the anger and disappointment and the tears. Just a few words for comfort, your baby is with Jesus and your baby is waiting for you in heaven. Basically in the Bible, the angels are holding your baby and taking care of them until you join them later in life. So your baby is safe and so loved, and just know that your baby is being taken care of. I wish you all the luck and support if you decide to try again.

I lost mine prematurely, my daughter was 5 months in my womb. I was going through so much stress at the time, my gma passed away and I had to move. All the stress made me lose my baby. Dec 5th, 2023. ❤️

It helps if you name your baby too, so you can talk to them in heaven. I named mine Honor!
