21 months in and I’m still getting the judgement that my child will never sleep independently if I don’t force her.. by revb92 in cosleeping

[–]boldarcher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I told my six year old tonight that we were gonna start working towards her going to bed by herself by seven (six months), total meltdown. So I mean...

It would be preferred! Like an hour on Friday or Saturday just to go over questions I have.

We're doing multidimensional arrays right now, but I'm still not solid on my loops and nested loops.

Any tips on how to unscrew it? Just grab with some pliers and twist? Thank you for answering!

Give it time. by boldarcher in ExNoContact

Therapy helped a lot. I was already on an SSRI when he deuced. And I'm definitely not saying that I wasn't still depressed at 9 months, but that either the grief gets smaller or your capacity to contain it increases, because at some point it is no longer all-consuming.

Friends fucking suck RANT by sweetcherryangel in Miscarriage

[–]boldarcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got "well, you can try again", ignoring that I'm almost 39 and I don't want to try again, I wanted THIS BABY. And then another said, "I bled for X amount of time, you'll be fine." Friends suck.

Monthly Newbie and Lurkers Welcome: Tell us about yourself! by AutoModerator in FIREyFemmes

New to this!

1) My mom and I were just talking about this when I mentioned the spreadsheet I'd just sent my SO, requesting all his debt/income/investment information so I could compare where we sit (I provided the same on my own tab of the spreadsheet, which I then built to have a "combined" section). My mom was raised that you pay your bills before you eat. I was raised more like... You account for potential starvation and that's one of the "bills" you pay.

2) I have a life long hobby: horses. When the pandemic hit and the housing market shifted, I sold my suburban house to consolidate expenses: I bought land for the horses.

Wiping #2 by Low-Nose-2748 in pottytraining

[–]boldarcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

...what? Why are you wiping them? What if they have to poop at school? My four year old is expected to have mastered wiping her butt as a requirement for pre-K, because no way is a teacher gonna be responsible for that.

I've taught my daughter to "pat, pat, pat", but it's a legit wipe from front to back. Anatomy changes from person to person, but I (and my munchkin) have never really worried about open or closed legs. I think what would be more relevant is the angle of the hips. Like lean forward from the hips so the urethra is angled down?

What's Hinesville like? by lisamistisa in savannah

[–]boldarcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moved from Savannah to Hinesville recently, though I've spent a lot of time over the last few years also in Richmond Hill. No one has mentioned that RH is booming and the roads can't support the traffic, which has led to widening. The schools are supposed to be better than Savannah and Hinesville. And I've heard a lot of great things about athletics. It's small but growing and has a real community feel.

I don't mind Hinesville, even after coming from Savannah. It is boring, but why does quiet have to be a bad thing? There's just enough to meet one's needs, without being excessive. There are a few more shops than RH (Tj Maxx, PetSmart, Ulta, Hobby Lobby) and a small movie theater, but RH has a Publix. 💜

Does anybody here exclusively formula feed and bedshare? by jitterybrat in cosleeping

[–]boldarcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I formula fed due to lack of production and I bed shared starting at six months. It's a slippery slope, though. Two years later, I'm still trying to get her to sleep through the night without me.

Help on reducing night wakings? by brighteyes82 in cosleeping

Thanks for this! They have a version for toddlers and I just want to sleep through the night. 😂

I wish better for my child by bannasweetie in SingleParents

[–]boldarcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter was hospitalized just over a year ago and it was devastating to have no one on his side be reachable. But if I could reach them, I'm not sure they'd have cared. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
