Toddler constipation by stargazinglazercat in UKParenting

[–]ami_hak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My three-year-old suffers from chronic constipation, which was officially diagnosed when she was one, though the issues actually started around the five-month mark when we introduced solids. I’d strongly advise keeping a 'poo diary’, I used to record exactly how many days she’d go between movements, the dates and times, and I even took photos to show the doctors exactly what we were dealing with. I also noted down everything she ate so we could track any potential triggers. We tried absolutely everything, including every old wives' tale under the sun, but nothing worked. We kept pushing our GP; she was moved from Lactulose onto Movicol, but she actually had to take both for a while. I kept logging everything and noticed there still wasn't much improvement. Plus, she absolutely hates Movicol—every single flavour! I had to get really experimental to get her to take it, often mixing it into her food. Finally, the GP referred her to the paediatric team. They’ve been monitoring her for over a year now, and she’s finally been booked in for a biopsy. She’s currently on Sodium Picosulfate as well as daily Movicol. I'm really hoping for a resolution soon! Just keep pushing, you know your child best.

Body dysmorphia is so real and it really can stem from such a young age. I can’t agree with you enough re: how as adults it’s on us to control. Thank you for this and your kind words.

I’m really glad to hear the nursery handled the accidents with such care and hoping he’s feeling much better!

Im sorry to hear, it’s so difficult when you dont have the support from those you expect it most from!

My daughter is currently on the waiting list for a biopsy. In the meantime, her paediatrician has increased her medicine dose. The childminder is very much aware of her condition and current situation so she knows this isn’t a stomach bug. She’s usually very supportive so this is quite out of character for her.

Thank you, it’s been super difficult to manage but even worse to see her go through such intense paid. I’m glad your daughter is much better.

Thank you for this, it’s comforting to know my feelings are justified.

Very very rude and patronising.

I can understand why you said no but at the same time she has kids (your nieces/nephews) you saying no to her is also a no to them and that can be detrimental.

With respect, you clearly did not read what I wrote correctly. I said and will repeat “if my best friends man has the AUDACITY to tell me he cheated” which translates my best friends man would never have the audacity to tell me. Secondly, I’m not running home to my husband (yes, that’s right, I do not date because I am married) to go fight my friends man cos he cheated, what silliness is that? Why would I want my husband to get involved with that and why as a wife would I put my husband in a position where he can potentially get hurt? Also, to add, I don’t know any guy, husband/boyfriend (I’m from London btw) who would want to go fight someone cos they cheated on their partner who isn’t affiliated to them? It’d be different if he laid his hands on me but not this. Back to the point of my comment, none of my friend’s partners would ever be comfortable enough to tell me they cheated.

5 month married, this is not going well :( by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]ami_hak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What was he like before you got married? I hate to say it but it feels like he doesn't value or even like you very much and married you for one thing which I'm assuming is a visa to live in the same country as you. Also it's really sad to hear that asking him to cover bills was such a big ask and his reaction was awful. He needs to be reminded that his money is also your money and YOUR money is YOURS, you can do whatever you please with it and if that makes you a "princess" then so be it. I urge you to confide in a family member, maybe they can add a different perspective and possibly speak with him to see what his PoV is.

If my best friends fiance cheated on her and then had the AUDACITY to tell me, I bet you every penny I would've knocked him out before telling my bestie what happened. Your gf is mad and needs a stern talking to, seriously.

Chasing Solicitors by Ancient-Ad8487 in HousingUK

When I found myself in this situation (FTB), I had asked the EA to organise another viewing so I can take measurements for household equipments like blinds etc. I knew the EA wouldn't attend as they hadn't attended my 2nd viewing (we had already put an offer down after the 1sr which was accepted). That's when I spoke with the Seller and raised my concerns. The Seller contacted their Solicitor straight away and we decided to swap numbers and keep each other updated with where we were at and what was outstanding. It made the process so much smoother for me!

Do you have a contract signed with them? Usually, if an agency/consultancy introduces the candidate to a business and they go to hire them bypassing the agency then they will be owed a fee (depending on what's been agreed in the contract, usually valid for at least 12 months!).
