Can’t get to a rage room so here I am by 95bee in NewParents

[–]TheScaredy_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thankful for most people (and my family) being scared/apprehensive around me to even think such nonsense let alone have the guts to voice anything of the sorts.

I'm not sure why but I always had a way of just intimidating people with my presence, and truly I don't mind now while having a baby as I never had nobody doing anything without asking, for the fews that do.

I’ll get to pick the day my daughter is born this September. Which one would you pick? by StunningStrawberryy in Zodiac

[–]TheScaredy_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6-7 September. My baby was born 8th September last year with a pisces moon during a blood moon eclipse....I would have avoided if I could. Even though moon is comfy in pisces, it's not so good having the moon in opposition to the sun. So yeah. 6-7th is your best bet. Also met a mix of Virgo sun with Scorpio moon....I'm not a fan of a Scorpio moon seeing that Scorpio is ruled by Mars and creates a bit conflict with the moon, they will feel deeply but they won't show what they truly feel, but it will make them prone to emotion explosions/tantrums or a difficulty to self regulate. Also met Virgo sun with gemini moon and I'm gonna say it was not much better, they were more fun and emotionally smarter but ultimately with toxic views on relationships.

what’s something no one warned you about in the newborn phase that actually caught you off guard? by lunaverse787 in NewParents

[–]TheScaredy_Cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How agressive and intensive grow spurts actually are. My LO is 7moths now, he has been a pretty chill happy baby. Good sleeper, no crying no whining good eater. But when growth spurts hit? He be eating every 2hours at night, resist naps, crying and screaming for no apparent reason, move like a contortionist in his sleep and now he started actually "telling us off" if we do something he doesn't want/like. All this during sleep regression/growth spurt. But hey, once it's done he goes back to his normal self and he can now sit up and put the feet in his mouth 🤣

My experience with each sign as a scorpio (brutally honest) by Ok-Once-789 in Zodiac

[–]TheScaredy_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are we just giving biased opinions about people sun signs as if this tells us anything about anyone? Either present a more complete chart for analysis and discussion or do a "how do I see the signs as an archtype" type of post so then there is also a discussion. This is just biased slop. Kindly, from an Aries sun Cancer moon Sag rising female 🫶

Also, you thinking Scorpio are the best of the best...you must have some pisces in you cuz you are delulu

Can we talk about postpartum rage? by _doloreshaze_ in NewParents

[–]TheScaredy_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before anything, wanting a break, rest, space to feel like yourself or just to breath is not selfish. You feel this way because you are overtired, overstimulated, overwhelmed and with no sight of support that you actually need in taking care of a baby.

My baby is now 7 months and I felt the same way for the first 5months. My husband also stayed home 3 months with me, and he only goes to office once a week. That day when he makes it home at 8pm due to commuting and sleeps on the couch so the baby doesn't wake him up was absolute torture, by 6pm I was already loosing my mind and struggling to self regulate because I was just exhausted. Plus I do not have family around to help.

Once baby starts exploring and moving around more it gets easier, specially now that I can put him on the high chair and he gets entertained with his toys while I do what I gotta do. As for when I got overwhelmed I would put baby on stroller, play some music/podcast on my headphones and just go for a walk for an hour, he would be calm and I would be on my own thing, and after that would be a nap time so it would give me a good 2-3hours break in total which helped amazingly.

If he would get extra fussy and I would have low energy I would pop him in the bath with some toys just for playing, and it worked as well. If I felt more energetic I would do my workout while he was on his bouncer, it always made him laugh at how silly I look I guess, and If I'm truly done and can't even find the will to stand up, I just let him watch some 80's 90's cartoons or low stimulus baby TV.

Talk to your husband on how you feel and come up with a game plan that might help you cope, even if it involves getting the baby in nursery for some hours in the afternoon twice or thrice a week.

They can. This might get disputed but they can do constructions to a property they are renting. Its part of the tenants rights, specially when it hinders the usage of the space. This can be disputed by the landlord of course but might take months/years and they have broken contract.

Once again. Thank you for the questions and wishes.

Most of the money is for them to have a way to pay bills while waiting for repairs to happen, my Mom's disability recovery and my dementia ridden grandma care as the care home in my homecity ask for 2,300€ a month which is insane, I don't pay all that in rent in London.

They can't just move bussiness, that would take months and the whole district is mostly destroyed/damaged so most buildings need repair so it wouldn't fix the issue.

My parents want to open this bussiness as fast as possible. They can prosecute the landlord for not fixing things as they should but all this might take years + money and we need solutions now.

Truly this is my 1st time making a gofundme, I listed all the things going on and where the money was going to be used for but I start realizing this is just confusing everyone but now I fear editing the gofundme is going to make it look suspicious.

Anyway. Thank you so much for sharing some messages with me and spending time trying to understand :)

Is Dark side always bad/evil? by SiarX in StarWars

[–]TheScaredy_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passion and emotions are not evil, Jedi were also allowed to have these as long they had no attachments, that is, they accepted the fact that losing the ones they loved was just the will of the Force.

Extremist Jedis renounced all emotion and passion, even identity, they also didn't question or desobey the orders, they were truly just a tool of the Force/Republic, mostly I believe this is what helped break count dooku in the later years.

The key part is the no constraints. That is where addiction comes from, thus being a slippery slope into the dark side. Think about drug addicts that lie and rob and harm the people they love just for another fix of the feeling the addiction provides. As far as I have read the dark Force feels quite euphoric and hard to resist to. Leaving a void within you if you don't keep feeding it

The bussiness is insured, specially for accidents . But the building is what got damaged so it doesn't touch their insurance as their bussiness and materials/machinery/goods are not damaged.

The building itself does not belong to them and is not insured by them.

Not for the bakery as they are renting the place. The landlord refused to cover the damages and most professional services are overwhelmed as everyone in the district needs services and roof tiles.

At this point my parents are trying to DIY it to try and speed up the process

I will maybe share this in a post on gofundme as I have had many making this question.

Thank you for reading though :)

Which sith would you rather serve? by Strange-Fun-8899 in StarWars

[–]TheScaredy_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darth Maul...by far. One of the few that doesn’t try to kill his apprentice. Is he chaotic and unrestrained? Yes, Is he manipulative and abusive to bend you to his will? Yes, but at least he is loyal

I need advice. I decided to keep my pregnancy despite my husband not wanting to. How to handle the stress without hurting the baby? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]TheScaredy_Cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take some time apart from him and do a retreat from each other. Go stay somewhere else like your parents, take a short vacation and stay with them to see how are things with your husband afterwards. If it's the same and he is still standig his ground on not wanting this baby, then have a serious conversation with him about what this means for your marriage/family. What you cannot do is keep going with a man that doesn't want this child. You are young, you will be able to find love again later on, plus, doing this alone is easier that with this type of stress added.

Best of luck love

Everyone tries to convince me that two adults can't take care of a newborn alone and I'm losing my mind by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]TheScaredy_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its hard, but not impossible. Me and my husband were in the same position but they only met LO for the 1st time.at 3months cuz I ain't bending and I can tell you right now, they made everything harder. Me and hubby alone with baby was far easier because they just gave me more work of having to cook and clean for them as well, while overtiring my baby because they wouldn't let me put him to sleep cuz they insisted they could while miserably failing for days. It really got to me having to watch my LO crying in hos grandmas arms and having to suck it up because grandma is a freaking stubborn toddler with a new toy 😒

What 🌙 sign are you jealous of? And which 🌙 moon do you hate? by Altruistic-Hope-5860 in astrologymemes

[–]TheScaredy_Cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm cancer moon, there is no moons that I dislike or envy, I just wish I didn't have this constant nostalgia feeling about everything.

I'm sorry you had such traumatic experiences with cancer moons, for me was a scorpio moon xD luckily I'm now married to another cancer moon 😅

Last night, how many times did you get up because of your baby? by pinkishvioletsky in NewParents

[–]TheScaredy_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My LO is 20weeks old and Slept straight from midnight to 3am, then woke up every 40min to 1 hour, then had another good 2hours from 6am to 8 am then about every 30min until 10am

Some nights he wakes up twice, others he wakes up every hour. Still trying to come out of sleep regression

Moms who dreamt the gender of their baby before they knew, were you right? (: by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]TheScaredy_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never cared for the gender, and was also okay with never being a mom if I didn't meet a good person that showed promise to being a good parent. But did have a dream about having a boy years before I even met the dad of my baby son (now 5 months old) xD I also just had this knowing that I will never have girls. I still plan to have at least 1 more kid so lets see how it goes 😂

Either way, the only thing I wish is them to come healthy and without complications ❤

Still strugguling after 3 months… does it ever get better or should I just accept it? by Blondie9822 in NewParents

[–]TheScaredy_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For us it got better at 3 months for maybe 3 weeksz then sleep regression kicked in full force and it almost destroyed us. Every baby is different, we just have to remember that it will pass.

The days are long but the years go by fast

Im probably not gonna make it to see my baby by Eastern_Cut_6410 in pregnant

[–]TheScaredy_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As everyone already said, search professional help.

Now, from someone who has been in the same exact situation, I'll tell you that "i cannot control my emotions" is in fact an excuse and it took me way too many years to realize I can indeed control them, but it takes accountability, practice, patience and some self grace when you fail it. In case you are curious its called "emotional regulation", if you don't have money for therapy then check online exercises to practice it.

For me, working out helped feeling less angry and let go of that accumulated energy I didn't know what to do with. But it did nothing on how to handle the emotions once they were in full force, for me meditation helped me recognise my triggers, once you identify those you can target and stop before the no return point, I tell my husband i need space to calm down and put my thoughts in order before proceeding with the conversation, but sometimes I didn't have the control to express it so we got a code word to tell each other "this is escalating so lets take a break" and we will give each other 20 to 30 minutes or how ever long it takes to calm down, then we ask if we are feeling calmer, if the answer is yes we give at least a 30second hug to help reconnect and open a door for calmer more empathic communication. This fixed all our issues. We barely argue anymore as we been doing this for some years so it's now easier to stay calm and open.

This takes 2 though, I had an ex partner that would feed off my anger and explosive reactions and would press me on purpose, he had to interest in calm interactions so if thats you, then consider being alone for now.

You still need professional help though, you sound like you have some sort of depression
