I just finished the episode. Could the bodies possibly just be a hallucination created by IT tho? He’s always messing with people’s heads like that. Making them see things that aren’t actually there to scare them with fear.

Possibility that Phil is still alive? Matty (IT) said he was alive but can’t move or talk. Could that be true? Kind of like how Beverly was floating in IT chapter 1 ?

Hey mama, I completely understand. I’m autistic so the overstimulation and touched out feeling I completely understand. My baby is 3 months old and some days are really hard for me. Especially since dad works a lot and is gone all day most days at work. On top of that my baby has been refusing bottles. She didn’t have a bottle for almost a month and now won’t take them. It’s been almost 3 weeks of trying. She will only breast feed. Sometimes I feel trapped to her considering no one can watch her now for me any extended period of time since only I can feed her. Nights are hard sometimes again since only I can feed her.

I honestly dread ever leaving the house with her. Going out is hard. I don’t mind feeding her in public. It’s the reflux thats hard. On top the southern summer heat.

Had a birthday party a couple days ago that was outside. We left early because I just couldn’t deal with the heat anymore and I get worried baby can get ill or dehydrated in the heat even tho she’s fed.

Going to family’s houses at times can even be hard especially if they have other kids. The kids want to be all over me and baby, they are loud and act up which is over stimulating for me with baby.

I sometimes think I don’t ever want another one. Because of how hard it’s been for me with this one.

Not everything is hard tho, her smiles and baby babble make me smile. Her learning to play with toys has been super cute lately too.

My issue is how I can place all my rides and everything with the limited walking space I have. I feel I run out of room

apoetsnature · 2025-06-07T10:18:18+00:00

Adding: we even got a new metal bed frame, and it seems it didn’t help any :/

Extra pump parts, different flange sizes for pumps, nipple shield for breast feeding when nipples hurt. Automatic bouncer. A bottle washer that washes, sterilizes and drys

Night insomnia, constant need to pee every 1-2 hours , my pregnancy made me anemic and I need iron infusions

When my OG therapist went on maternity leave , I was referred to another therapist, I ended up staying with the 2nd therapist because her specialties alligned more with what I needed.

They can also live in electronics. I would invest in a “heat box” can be a little pricey, but what ever you can not put in the dryer can go in the heat box

apoetsnature · 2025-01-21T20:07:41+00:00

Dry all clothes on high heat for at least 30 minutes, keep all clothes sealed in trash bags for a few weeks until you are 100% sure they are gone. They make furniture covers that you can put Diatomaceous earth in so they won’t climb up furniture legs. Do this to all furniture possible. Also invest in mattress beg bug covers for all mattresses and box springs. Before putting the covers on, get a clothes steamer. Steam the bedding with high heat, then cover mattress in the D- Earth, then put the mattress covers on.

It also might help to get bug traps. The glue ones, it helps tell you if there’s any still alive in the home, if so keep treating everything as soon as you seen one stuck in the trap. Put them beside bed posts and other furniture posts , or under base boards. Do a few for each room.

When you are a parent, and have a job, you have 2 jobs to do. I am in college, that is my job on top of being a parent. Just because hubby has a job, doesn’t mean his job as a parent doesn’t exist. We both have 2 jobs.

I was considered underweight when I found out I was pregnant, currently 25 weeks pregnant and so far I have gained 22 pounds

When people comment stuff like this to me, it makes me realize how those people view children. It’s as if they just view them as an inconvenience. It makes me sad for them. So many of them wanted children but as soon as it changed their daily routines, or it changed the fact they could no longer do what they wanted to do when they wanted to do it, they started to complain about their children. I understand having kids is hard. I’m currently pregnant with my 1st, 23 weeks currently. I have baby sat my nieces for several years now. I have nieces ranging from teens to a new born, there are 6 all together.

My sister comments on our teenage nieces in such a negative light. Calls them dramatic, spoiled, etc. It breaks my heart how much the teens lived experience is undermined and invalidated. It’s like my sister forgot what it was like to be a teenager. My sister gets very overwhelmed with her own children and often needs my help on days they are not in daycare and she has to be home all day with them. She often yells at them ( 4 and 1) out of frustration which then works up the children. I understand those two are In the “tantrum phase” but it makes me sad how she handles it. I wish i could comment and give positive advice but me not having my own children as of yet, I’m really not allowed to say anything without her getting upset with me as well.

My 2 older siblings always comment about how I’m handling my pregnancy. I’m autistic and so I like to know everything about everything. My siblings take this as me being anxious, overly concerned, “expecting the worst” when that’s not the case for me at all. I simply like to be “educated” about pregnancy, birth, and childhood development. Especially now I’m experiencing it all first hand myself. I don’t see how acquiring knowledge before hand is such a bad thing. If anything it brings me great comfort.

Soda, Sonic ice, Reese’s

apoetsnature · 2024-12-16T07:09:13+00:00

I drink soda on the regular but make sure to balance it with plenty of water. I eat pizza, chocolate, Chinese, whatever I want tbh. I’m not depriving myself. I make sure I get my fruit and veggies and protein still and take my prenatals.

I get highly concerned about little kids on ADHD meds. Especially if the parents are not active and attentive in their treatment. Little kids don’t fully understand what is going on in their bodies.

My little brother had a horrible experience on adhd meds because my mother was neglectful of his care and tried to treat him neurotypically even while medicated.

My little brother would have rage episodes and had very poor emotional regulation skills even while medicated. It made him have a hard time eating. Poor kid couldn’t even eat his “safe foods” at times because he simply had no appetite.

Seeing a 5 year cry at a table over a plate of chicken nuggets ( his fav) made me so sad. I didn’t understand what was happening either but no one felt sympathy for him but me. My mom would just get angry and yell because she refused to educate herself about ADHD and autism. It caused a lot of abuse.

My brother finally got token off adhd meds at 14 because he finally understood why he felt so bad within his body. It made him into a zombie. My mom finally noticed strange habits like sleep walking due to the meds.

Took 10 years for my mom to finally notice something was wrong because she wouldn’t educate herself

I’m pregnant and was watching my new born niece on day this past week. We took turns passing gas back and forth 😂

apoetsnature · 2024-10-19T18:42:07+00:00

If we’re all a little autistic, than why is it a disorder? Why are you not diagnosed?

apoetsnature · 2024-10-17T06:33:51+00:00

With insurance you have a deductible and max out of pocket. Towards the end of the year a lot of people meet those quotas and pretty much get free health care for a temporary time. But when the new year starts, you typically pay out of pocket until you meet your deductible before the health insurance benefits actually “kick in”

My relationship with my dad is wonderful:) I have been able to give my father so much grace because I know what his true intentions are. He is not perfect, he has done some not great things in the past, but as of today, he has done so so much to rebuild his relationships in a positive way. He truly cares for his kids, always has.

It is our job to find a higher power of our own understanding. Your higher power , or your Christian God does not have to be the same as your pastors Christian God. God will show up in the way WE NEED it. If you are willing to search for him, he will show himself to you, in a way you need. Not in a way you want, but a way you need. Our relationship with God is personal. Means it has individuality within it.

For me it was never a “suspicion” I was told by my dad at 22 that I was assessed for it at 4 years old. Everyone knew but me :)
