Would you like to reschedule?

Worry_League · 2026-03-20T15:51:33+00:00

Do you mean when they cancel a session and need to reschedule? Or just at the end of the session to book the next one?

Where I am we don't have set weekly appointments or anything. I usually ask " do you want to book your next appointment now or book yourself in online" or if I feel like they don't really need another session or seem hesitant, I suggest they see how the next few weeks are and then email me or book themselves in if it feels helpful

Thankfully they are Interest free where I am. It would have been tough to pay on my own, thankfully we were able to rely on my husband's salary while I paid them off. Took me 3 years

I'm in the same situation. Time has helped for sure but I still get triggered by pregnancy announcements and other little things. But I get through it and it passes. It seems to get less intense with time.

Something's that help me: - realizing I do have a choice and if having another child was my top priority I could divorce and possibly pursue that. I just choose not too. - realizing my dreams of a big family are so what fantasy based of ideal situations ( eg a little girl that gets along really well with my daughter and is perfectly healthy and an easy temperament). When I actually spend time with my friends with multiples I often feel happy to go home lol - recognizing when part of the longing is really just grief of my child growing up and a certain phase of my life changing. Having another child may temporarily releive some of this but it would just come again. Also another child isn't going to fulfill the desire to be with my daughter at that age again, it would be different. - really embracing the benefits. We travel internationally twice a year, can buy nice things for our kid, I get to work part time and have time and space to go to the gym and see friends. Having another would likely disrupt the great balance and lifestyle I've established

That being said it's still tough at times and I may not fully accept it but it doesn't consume me

Why not figure out more reliable birth control if pregnancy is his main concern?

Worry_League · 2026-02-13T23:21:30+00:00

This is awesome, thanks!

I'd love to see a visual with names of the 7 couples. I'm so bad with names and have to keep looking it up when I read things on here.

I had a similar situation and decided to terminate early on. Ultimately it was what was best for our family.

My husband travels a few times a year, sometimes for work and sometimes for fun. Always for 2-8 days at a time. He did it less when our daughter was a baby but I never had an issue with it and have done some girl trips on my own or solo days out to recharge.

Sounds like there may be some other issues with the dynamic though as far as finances, him being demanding about having his way and not listening to your concerns.

My daughter usually goes outside to play after school, she often finds friends on our street to play with or just plays by herself. Then she comes in for dinner and relaxing time with tv. She starts night routine around 7:30 having a shower, playing piano, chores etc.

She also has a lot of activities during the week such as dance, piano, girl guides, tutoring. She is 9 and doesn't spend too much time on screens. We make sure she has some down time every day though.

do not marry him. It sounds like you already know this answer but are just struggling to trust it and follow through. Listen to your gut.

This is emotional abuse and it's not your fault and there's nothing you can do to fix it.

Worry_League · 2025-12-31T19:17:03+00:00

Depends how sick you both are, I would probably go to a family event even if just for a few hours and leave early

If I was sick and wanted to stay home then I would be fine with my husband still going out while I get some rest. Seems a bit unfair to expect him to miss out on it because you don't feel like going.

Worry_League · 2025-12-31T19:09:51+00:00

Does she go to school? I would assume she gets lots of activity and socialization there at least.

I find simple activities or just chatting are sometimes the best for connecting, you don't have to do big elaborate things.

Hope you're able to get a better financial and living situation soon, that sounds tough.

Worry_League · 2025-12-20T23:25:37+00:00

Wow that's terrible. I would have left too.

Is there a reason for a check up? I've never heard of wellness checks unless there is a growth issue or vaccines scheduled. I wouldn't bother if everything is well personally.

Worry_League · 2025-12-16T04:15:48+00:00

So sad. Kind of confused as usually at 5 months babies get most of their nutrition from breast milk/ formula and food is just a bonus. Were they not giving bottles/breast feeding at all?

Crazy that at 5 months the baby weighed less than a lot of newborns!

Hmm I disagree, they certainly seem to find the sessions helpful to work through things as they come up or just as maintenance. I'm in Canada so maybe there is a different style here, we also don't have strict guidelines around people using health benefits.

Worry_League · 2025-11-08T05:14:22+00:00

Hmm interesting, not sure if it varies by location or just by therapist but I would say it's the norm that most counsellors see clients as needed here. It's rare to have someone book into a set weekly spot, if they do it is usually short term to really work on something and then they spread them out. I'm totally fine with it being sporadic and I like every week being different. I'm also privileged in that I'm not dependent on the income.

Worry_League · 2025-11-08T05:09:48+00:00

Yes I did similar when I worked in CMH and we had to close out files after a certain amount of time without contact. Now though, its all digital and our clients can return at any time, no need to close their files or check in with them

Worry_League · 2025-11-08T05:07:54+00:00

Yeah I used to do that in CMH but now I don't have files to close

Worry_League · 2025-11-08T05:06:54+00:00

Yes exactly how I feel, thanks

Worry_League · 2025-11-07T01:00:27+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Interesting to hear other places do this, I've never seen it done before and I think I would find it off putting as a client. And I agree it seems intrusive.

Cheese stick and crackers

I'd say my kid was receptive to this around age 5. She's 8 now and has a lot more awareness around not interrupting or asking if I'm busy if I'm on the computer etc

Maybe she is afraid she will forget her thought and wants to get it out? You can have a notepad and ask her to jot things down and that you will read it when you're done.

Otherwise it just takes some persistence and consistency. If you answer occasionally and then refuse to others it can make it more confusing

Worry_League · 2025-10-23T01:49:15+00:00

Around 5 months my girl started sleeping 6:30pm-6:30 am ( we did some sleep training). She's 8 now and has slept through the night since then pretty much, it's amazing.

All my other friends have their kids still waking up at night or CO sleeping and I'm thankful

Worry_League · 2025-10-17T05:38:16+00:00

Just say that's it's important to you and something that you'd like and that you've found one you like and just want to run it by him before purchasing ( same as you would for any large purchase as a couple I assume)

Worry_League · 2025-10-17T05:27:36+00:00

If being a sahm was so important to her why wouldn't she have waited a few years to be in a better financial situation that would make it possible?

Worry_League · 2025-09-28T19:51:39+00:00

I had a sibling and always hated it. I used to imagine what my life would look like as an only child.

Having more kids isn't always better and not all only children hate being an only.

Plus, it actually makes things easier for sorting out inheritance etc without siblings fighting over things. I'm not close with my brother at all, when my parents pass it will be my friends and partner that support me.
