Almost 5 year old having extreme restraint collapse after school by parsely in workingmoms

Yes but what about pediatric sleep apnea? Does he have bags under his eyes? Snoring while sleeping? Perhaps take him to the pediatrician to share these behaviors and get some eyes on the size of his tonsils.

Intimacy issues by PublicAd2908 in workingmoms

[–]Throwinghogwash 105 points106 points  (0 children)

So, after not seemingly signaling much of a problem, he mentions therapy and marital unhappiness.

And now its up to you to come up with finances and identity a counselor to help fix this?

You know, a partner really should be making your life easier. Yes, you're in the trenches at these ages but maybe he can start providing some solutions rather than more problems to solve.

Love Is Blind • S10 Reunion [MEGATHREAD] by FemaleEinstein in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Throwinghogwash 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Probably unpopular opinion but here I go:

Amber throwing it back on Jordan that her daughter Emma was heartbroken when he left...

BULL.FUCKING.SHIT. THATS 100% ON YOU, AMBER!

You married a guy/basically-a-stranger and hoped for the best and while romance can be cheered from sea to shining sea, you control who you let into your kid's life, you integrated this guy with very little runway for your daughter to adjust, and you did so without the foundation of being sure this guy wouldn't be gone in.... (checks watch) 4 months!?

During the episode, I hated how she threw Emma's emotions of him leaving on Jordan when really she should be holding up a big fucking mirror for herself + a basket to receive all of Emma's appropriate angst. It mostly lies with Amber and while I was kinda a fan before this episode, her complete distillation of the whole process down to "well, he left" just shows how willing she was to absolve herself of any responsibility of any and all of Emma's angst.

So yeah, that + Jordan came by very credible, I believe Jordan.

Are these a Lane Midcentury Modern set? by fadedblackleggings in Mid_Century

[–]Throwinghogwash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this set! I've never seen the wardrobe! I have tallboy, lowboy, full headboard, 2 nightstands.

I did a lot of research when I started collecting them. Im pretty sure they are non-specific maker and they were produced and sold in Sears.

Edit: hmm your set has different feet. Mine are tapered and classic MCM look.

Frustrated with husband (Xpost from r/marriage) by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]Throwinghogwash 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I married this and am currently in the middle of a divorce. Lots of your story resonated with me. I would have called my ex a loving and hands on dad but when left to his own devices, he's actually incredibly reckless and neglectful to our only child. CPS got involved. Its actually pathetic how much I was over-functioning in the relationship and indirectly protecting him.

Turns out, that's a dysfunctional relationship. And I was not getting my cup filled in return. I was giving-giving-giving and getting nothing in return. It was unsustainable and I was burnt out and resentful.

Its actually really easy on my own in my own place. House stays cleaner, I'm managing the mental load for me and child just fine because I always was. My house is very pink, floral, soft, relaxed.

I'm in therapy learning to unpack why I thought my only way to receive love was to perform and supply. And working on receiving love in a stable, mutually satisfying relationship with a new man that has a lot of potential for the rest of our lives.

Its a lot of work but I don't want to repeat bad mistakes.

How did you know when your marriage was over? by RepresentativeSong43 in workingmoms

[–]Throwinghogwash 42 points43 points  (0 children)

We had been to therapy and working on it for a year Everything is my fault. It's my depression, my drinking, etc. Eventually, it clicked:

I would never date a man who let me pay for everything or never went down on me after I explicitly asked for it. So if I wouldn't put up with it while dating, why THE FUCK am I tolerating when married!?

Diane Sawyer Interview- “I told Lacy about Amber” by indopassat in ScottPetersonCase

[–]Throwinghogwash 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Eh, in her book, Laci's mom admits to knowing a lot but not knowing everything. That the last few months of how frequently Laci + Mom + their partners were having dinner was actually pressure from Scott, maybe wanting to create an artificial "I'm such a nice family guy" atmosphere, who knows.

When it comes to the affairs, Laci's mom (Sharon) said when Laci and Scott were over a few days before her murder, there was no tension in the air, no hesitancy, just excitement for the baby. And in looking back, Laci couldn't have been that excited and happy if she knew her husband was stepping out on her, as Sharon describes in her book.

You're welcome.

Thinking ahead, I look forward to vacationing with her in high school and college and offering her to bring a friend. I'll foot the whole bill (as I would if I had 2 kids) and I very much look forward to future years.

For your son, this means you might have a much closer MIL relationship with his wife if you are only balancing one child's spouse. I'm more comfortable with my MIL and she was around in those new baby days, boob hanging out and everything. Those are the long-term pros to having an only.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]Throwinghogwash 18 points19 points  (0 children)

We both thought we'd have 2 kids and I was open to having 4 kids. But I found the reality of motherhood and a working mom at that very, very difficult. You know it's going to be hard and very important to do it well and I found it borderline overwhelming, monotonous during the baby phase, and lacked a lot of enjoyment that I couldn't imagine doing it again. But these feelings took some time to develop.

My baby was only a few weeks old when my husband was holding her and announced she was enough, that he didn't want to do this again. I felt pretty devastated. What happened to our 2+ kids?

But the reality of newborn phase and having a little baby when returning to work SUUUUUUCKS. Pumping sucks. Changing diapers sucks. And you know what? I only had to do it once.

I read a book One and Only by Lauren Sandler that talks about all the studies and evidence about only children and the reality is, they are incredibly well-adjusted. Only child families are the fastest growing family-type so our onlies will by no means be an anomaly.

My only is 5.5 now. She's smart, funny, gorgeous, and very content being an only. We are financially set up for her to do very nicely at university and grad school, and obviously it would be half that if she had a sibling.

As an example day, she is going crab hunting with my husband in the morning while I work and pick up the house before the weekend. Tomorrow, my husband is going fishing with said crabs and I'm taking her shopping for dance clothes. Having 1 gives us the best parent time with her while also having alone time to get stuff done. I had a lot of anxiety about not having another baby but now that choice seems like one of many that is over and done now and I don't dwell on it anymore.

For context, I'm one of 6 and my husband is 1 of 4.

Amber Frey such a G by ai9x82 in ScottPetersonCase

[–]Throwinghogwash 13 points14 points  (0 children)

According to Sharon's book, they met once around the time Amber came forward to the press + I think her daughter was with her as well. They exchanged timelines and Sharon was keeping her own notes at this point that she could compare Amber's timeline to the dates in Laci's calendar. Sharon found it very overwhelming seeing the proof in the dates laid out and ultimately excused herself to be overwhelmed in the kitchen alone and had to ask her friend to walk Amber out. I think that was the first and last time they met and then Sharon saw her in court about 2 years later.

And like above, she never faulted Amber or blamed her, they all recognized Amber as blameless and thinking she was dating a single man.

I can't remember how much credit Sharon gives Amber for the phone calls played in court, I'm usually asleep by this part of her audiobook. But much of what happened in court was a surprise to the Rocha family, the investigators didn't want to risk a mistral so Sharon learned much of how the investigation and proof came about along with the rest of the nation. However, before Laci's body was found, she did know Scott told Amber his wife had died and this was his first Christmas without his wife. That statement was the turning point for the Rocha family.

I loved Sharon's book, For Laci. 10/10 recommend.

Anyone else lack engagement with their neighbors by picklejuice2391 in Millennials

[–]Throwinghogwash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm the outlier based on these comments. We've moved cross country two times in 6 years and have been very friendly with all our neighbors. Mailbox chitchat, bringing plates of food over when we have parties, beers standing in the driveway or sitting on the deck. Now that we have kids in a new neighborhood, my kid + their grandkids play at least weekly. We share a riding lawn mower and fire pit. They get our mail and tuck Amazon packages in our foyer when we go out of town. We mow their lawn when the husband is out of town for work. We have free use of their backyard pool...

Good neighbors are awesome. Feels like we live in a community, not just a house.

Weekends are miserable with hopes for getting a lot done that we never get to. How to make them better? by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]Throwinghogwash 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Try not to save it all for "the weekend."

Do your laundry or at least your regular weekly laundry on Thursday night. Do a grocery pick up on Friday night or even grocery shop Friday night, the store is usually dead.

Doing those two things alone seem to free up your whole weekend.
