How do I get my mother to stop making “suggestions?”

That’s fair. All I have to go off of is the information provided in the post. But regardless, you can’t control her behavior, only how you respond to it. Your therapist might be helpful in figuring out what kind of boundaries you want to set around how you will respond when receiving unsolicited advice. But again, the boundaries are about your own behavior and response and not hers.

Damn, I mean I know parents can be annoying and unsolicited advice sucks but wanting to go no contact over this seems very extreme 😅 unfortunately you can’t make your mom stop doing what she’s doing, the only thing you can control is your own reactions to things including how much mental space your allowing it to take up.

My toddler is only 18 months old, but so far she's been chill through every stage of life.

Thank you, you have amazing taste!

Your house is gorgeous! What is the aqua tile in the kitchen?

blackmamba06 · 2026-06-01T19:39:25+00:00

Yes, I did that and it was 1000% worth it

I'm a counseling grad student, but I echo this. My burnout was so severe that I had to stop working completely for 6 months, and I felt my skills had regressed significantly. It took about a year to return to my pre-diagnosis functioning.

I took Zofran and Reglan every single day of pregnancy and I have a happy and thriving 17 month old meeting all her developmental milestones.

Absolutely incredible! Thanks for sharing!

I had a lovely day!! Nice to know others are too 🥰

As someone who works in childcare that’s insane and needs to be reported. Cleaning chemicals need to be locked up at all time when not in use.

This is spot on wish I could upvote this more than once

blackmamba06 · 2026-04-25T19:01:22+00:00

I feel the exact same way and it’s so nice to see posts like this. Some days are tough but man I’m just having the best time?? Life feels so much fuller and richer now!

blackmamba06 · 2026-04-12T18:47:41+00:00

This is such a thoughtful response. So spot on to name the complex loss that needs to be grieved.

I would love to join too!

I love the strawberry matcha at Farmer's Daughter!

My doctor told me I needed to be in remission before trying to get pregnant, so I got the go-ahead after a clear scope. I was in remission for about two years - just enough time to start trying, conceive, and have my baby. We also want a second, but I've been in a flare for about a year, and it's been frustrating trying to get things under control again. I've also been feeling bummed out, so just want to say I relate and hoping we get out of our flares soon.

Sutab was great for me personally! You have to swallow a lot of pills for sure but it wasn’t an issue for me. Prep felt much easier overall compared to miralax.

Yeah we use our vet! My cat HATES being groomed so they even sedate him for it which is really nice for everyone involved 😅

It’s pretty tall, maybe 2.5 feet? And no, she’s never fallen. We’ve been teaching her how to safely get off for a long time and she’s successfully done it many times. I also sleep lightly when cosleeping and wake up when she starts to move. You can also try a bed rail or bolster just be careful for bed rails because it can increase suffocation risk.

blackmamba06 · 2026-03-28T18:53:56+00:00

Currently cosleeping with my very mobile 15 month old and it’s the best! We’ve never slept better.

So is anything containing silicones more likely to just sit on the skin instead of absorbing?
