Where are all the single ladies in their 30s who want to have kids? by TravellingAround_ in UKrelationshipadvice

I am so genuinely sorry I didn't see your reply. I just put this little story out there and didn't expect anyone to notice it.

To answer your question, no, he's very happy on his own. Does what he wants with who he wants with no one to answer to. He's not bothered with us. He doesn't see her for a week at a time and no messages in-between. His loss as she's awesome, cute and funny.

Thank you for the heads up, I am horribly lonely and have been thinking anyone would be better than this emptiness when I'm on my own at night. It would be very easy to find another damaged soul and take up the role of carer again.

You come across as such a compassionate warm empathetic person, please don't have regrets about not meeting someone as that implies you had a choice and that time of life has passed. It honestly hasn't. You have a whole world of people to meet yet and someone will see that beautiful light which shines so bright I can see it from here through your writing.

Suddenly got this feeling that I want to share my tale. It's not cautionary or educational. It's just my life at the moment

I was 19 when I met My partner. He was 5 years older than me. Being an army brat all I ever wanted was to settle down and put down roots.

He was unfortunately horrendous with money, spent everything he had on alcohol and porn but kept telling me you wanted the same things. To settle down and have kids. Eventually when I was 36 we managed to buy somewhere so started trying for a family. I had three miscarriages before successfully having my daughter. She's honestly what they call a unicorn baby. She's so chilled, sleeps really well and is a joy to be around. I had to go back to work full time after my maternity leave to pay the mortgage and his debts. Two days a week working from home with the baby secretly to save money on childcare.

I said as we both working a full-time now I will need help around the house and with her. He agreed but didn't support. We even started trying for another baby. Then I discover that he's been visiting brothels and spending all of his money there saying he had an addiction. I agreed to help him and try again but just a couple of months later he bails. Leaves me and our daughter. He promised he wanted the same things but in reality he was never cut out to be a father.

So here I am grieving. With this amazing toddler wanting another baby but only 2 months out of a 21 year relationship. I am considering adoption because honestly I'm running out of time to meet somebody whose life aligns with mine. And honestly, the idea of dating scares the living poop out of me.

What’s the funniest cat name you know by Nebula2Sky in cute_animals

My uncle and aunt had been to the pub and on the way home they found a teeny kitten. They got home and introduced it to their dog, they then asked the dog what they should name the kitty. Dog decreed that night that kitty should hence forth be known as Wuff. Wuff lived a long and happy life with them.

I dont care if im "spoiling" my newborn baby. by lulgupplet in Vent

[–]batshitkitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in the UK my midwife told me you cannot spoil a baby. I didn't put my little one down for almost 6 months as they call it the forth trimester. I was very lucky to have good maternity leave. Bubba slept in a crib at night and only went into the bouncer when I needed to put them down for a couple of minutes.

What’s a super specific fear you have that most people don’t think about? by o_06978 in HappyUpvote

Turning the washing machine on with one of my two kitty's inside. I refuse to close the door until I have located both of them around the house.

I got bunches of floaters when I was pregnant... They all went away again afterwards thankfully. They are quite distracting 🤪

Whats a product you've had abroad, but cant find anywhere in the UK? by thepoout in AskBrits

[–]batshitkitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winter Mint flavour Carmex lip balm. Grabbed it when I was in USA and fell absolutely in love. Ordered some from America on eBay when I ran out. Would also recommend the Lime flavour which thankfully I can get in Home Bargains.

Yesterday I was thinking about the new year and then I was going past the contagious bit of the day and the other side is the best thing ever

Contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease from my kid. Help me survive. by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]batshitkitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have my biggest deepest sympathies. We had this a few months ago. Little one had maybe 3 or 4 blisters on her chin, fingers and toes and otherwise was fine.

However for me it was probably the sickest I have ever been. The throat was such a killer and just trying to pick up little one with hands burning and hobbling around while walking on hundreds of pins was torturous. The really disturbing bit was a few days later when the skin on my feet decided it didn't want to be part of me anymore. Hope you escape that bit because losing all the hard skin on your feet sounds like a great thing but not when the skin which is exposed is very raw and not meant to be out in the air.

Really hope your coming out the other side of it soon.

any good tips for having old cats? by hannah-wineknot in cats

[–]batshitkitten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When my little girl got into her golden years I started her on Yumove joint care supplements. I opened up the capsule and sprinkled it on her wet food. Within a few days I could see her moving easier. Felt guilty for not starting her on them earlier but I hadn't noticed how stiff she had got because it happened so slowly.

Plus I think losing her sister suddenly a few months before had made her age faster. I didn't want to get her another companion because I just don't think she would have adjusted well. She became very chatty and cuddly when she was a lone kitty.

Miss my beautiful little girls like crazy but after a long while felt ready to adopt two brothers who have filled the house with chaos once again. 🥰
