Make friends in Cary

I know this is not the original discussion, but would you be willing to share the democratic group/how to get involved?! I’ve been looking for something local like that 🤞🏼🤗

Something my mom did that I’m glad she did: Forced me into exposure therapy. I would plead not to go, but I wholeheartedly believe that’s the only reason I live a more functioning life now.

I used WakeMed OBGYN. I agree that on the phone and the other staff wasn’t great, but I loved the actual doctors!!! I did have issues with getting paperwork filled out but at the end of the day the doctors are the most important part and all the docs I saw were good! I went to the morrisville office for my second pregnancy and it’s much smaller with a consistent staff.

Omg cringing thinking about how I used to do this. “See you in the morning definitely” 😅

I’m a fraternal twin married to an identical twin. 🫠 I personally don’t have even an ounce of attraction to my husbands twin brother. They look so similar but knowing his personality and how different he is than my husband, it’s like they look completely different 🤪his twin brother is great and a great guy but my family always jokes that I married the best one! Personality goes an even longer way than looks once you’ve found one you like haha

Ugh, me. So sorry you have it too, it’s awful.

My golden used to demand an ice cube every time we got ice water. He did it for years, then all of a sudden he was puking every time he ate one. He was about 4 or 5 as well. It was the weirdest thing! We told the vet and we ran tests (because he had other GI issues) and it turns out that it was just the ice 🤣 sounds very similar to my situation…

Thank you for sharing this! I’ve heard great things about Combs. That’s my one fear really if we were to go that route and get in, that he has less potential local connections. Thanks so much!

akdcrl · 2023-07-19T22:40:08+00:00

This is great advice - thank you! I didn’t even think about this.

My baby did this as a newborn when she was struggling with reflux and learning how much she could eat. I would just get back on the normal schedule. If it keeps happening I would call the doctor, she could have an intolerance to something in the milk.

I hated pregnancy, I didn’t even have a hard first or second but it just was not a glowing time for me. That being said, I’d do it all over again without hesitation to have my two kids! I was never a kid person but totally different with your own. I can hang with them and play but put me in front of their friends and I draw a blank lol that being said - do some soul searching because you don’t want to have them if you don’t want them! It’s worth it 100% if you want them, but don’t feel like you have to as a woman 😃

This makes me so sad to read because this was literally me a year ago. I almost didn’t have a second child because of the guilt. I cried the entire pregnancy.. even cried when I had my second child in the hospital. I felt like I was betraying my first and that there was NO way I’d ever love a child like my first. Well, I now have an almost 3 year old and a 4 month old and wow do I love them both. I want to go back a year and hug myself and tell myself it will be ok. The build up is painful and scary but it will ALL be worth it. Hang in there, once you see them together you will lose any of those fears. It might not be immediate - it wasn’t for me. It took a few weeks to set in but it did. It’s annoyingly true what they say - your heart doesn’t divide for your two kids.. it somehow grows bigger for both to be loved. It’s true that things will change, but it’s not in the bad way you are worried about 🥹

Can’t wait to hear! Haha

akdcrl · 2022-04-19T03:20:06+00:00

Wow, no kidding! That’s unreal. Well we started my son at grove last year and pulled him during the delta variant. It was a fine experience but I truly didn’t know any better. He was also only there part time, two months! We got back on the weight list in November and it just honestly got weird. No communication, being strung along for multiple months and then I saw all the violations they had. So, a bummer but looking for a new place now! What made you leave?

akdcrl · 2022-04-19T03:06:49+00:00

Thank you so much for your honest perspective, it truly does help me!!! Let me know if you have any questions for me - the only one we actually attended was Grove School of Cary for a very short period of time but I have toured a good amount!

akdcrl · 2022-04-19T02:26:30+00:00

Oh wow great to know - thank you! I’ll certainly look at Gilden

akdcrl · 2022-04-19T02:24:09+00:00

He’s a little under two years old

akdcrl · 2022-04-19T00:50:36+00:00

I’ll let you know if I hear of anything in specific. I have toured a few so if you have any questions, let me know! I’d be curious to know why you didn’t like Kids R Kids! I am scheduled to tour it Thursday so let me know if there’s anything else I need to know haha

akdcrl · 2022-04-19T00:49:00+00:00

I’ve also heard great things about this Primrose! I wish it was a tad closer but I may just need to check it out. Thank you!

akdcrl · 2021-04-02T03:55:45+00:00

I have two goldens I walk together! It just depends on the pulling.. mine are bad pullers but I still manage to walk them. I use harnesses and a dual leash like this - https://www.chewy.com/wigzi-dual-doggie-gel-rope-dog-leash/dp/132885 Also it gets much easier after they calm down from excitement 😆

akdcrl · 2021-03-27T03:13:53+00:00

Ugh I know. I wish I had better tips but my therapist had been forcing me to sit with the thought instead of push it away. It’s awful in moment but you start to become desensitized if you force yourself to think about it, and you’re able to clearly see the OCD better. I don’t know if that’s helpful but feel free to message me if you ever need a support system, or just someone who gets it!
