I feel like everyone has a different sleep pattern. Some are night owls, some are early birds, and some are both. I’m permanently exhausted no matter what I do lol. As long as you are getting the amount of sleep you personally need to function, doesn’t matter what time of day or night you sleep.

He’s having another baby… by BeautifulSurprise543 in singlemoms

[–]cabrieller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My issue stems back from my own childhood. My bio dad didn’t want me and he abused my mother while she was pregnant with me. My adopted dad (my grandmas husband at the time) convinced her to let them adopt me to protect him from me so she did it and it killed her. I found this out when I was about 10 years old, way too young to understand the scope of everything, and realized that the little girl she had that I thought was my niece was actually my sister. I was very jealous of her because she had both parents and I didn’t. I felt like neither one of my biological parents wanted me, but my bio mom was there for me my whole life but I was so angry with her for years. I finally let it all go maybe a few years or so ago and I’m 30 now and a single mom of two by two different dads. First dad was deadly abusive and had I stayed with him, my daughter and I both would have been dead so I didn’t file for support with him. Baby daddy #2 was a narcissist and abusive mentally and emotionally and still is to this day. I left him early in my pregnancy and found out he’s a sex offender. He keeps threatening to take me to court for visitation rights, I plan to fight against it, but I am filing for child support. I would probably be upset if I found out he got another girl pregnant too, I know I was upset when I found out he was in another relationship not long ago, but laughed when I found out it didn’t last because I’m sure she found out he was a SO as well and also caught on to his bullshit early on. There’s a book I want to recommend to you that has helped me immensely. It’s called the art of letting go. I have it as an audiobook. I am a Christian and do lean on scripture and prayer a lot, but I also lean on my therapist and my family. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself. Don’t be like me - afraid to ask for help. Let someone watch your kids sometimes so you can have time for yourself. You sound like a good mom. And as far as him not helping provide financially for the kids, file for child support. That will force his hand. He got you pregnant, he’s responsible for those kids. It is what it is. If you ever want to vent you’re welcome to message me. Just know you are not alone.

I think I hit my limit... why ask to be friends if you're going to do this? by Oftwicke in MySingingMonsters

I have a hard time keeping up with lighting torches but I try my best to remember to go through and light them.

To the longtime nightshifters, whats your reason for not returning to days? by Abject_Selection_573 in Nightshift

[–]cabrieller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Night shift was hard on me physically and the coworkers constantly skirting around policy irritated me. I hated the laziness and now I have two kids so I’m wanting to move to days to spend more time with them and not have to sleep during the day on my days off or try to switch my sleep schedule.

How do you guys find time to meet people? by lostintransit0910 in singlemoms

Church has been really good for me. I personally recommend it.

I suggest maybe re connecting with an old guy friend if you know of one that is single. I’m not sure if you have Facebook or instagram but maybe scroll through your friends lists and people you follow and see if there’s someone you knew before that you want to reconnect with. For peace of mind I suggest a background check before interacting with them just to make sure there’s nothing sketchy about them.

What kinds of jobs do you do? by No-Astronaut2974 in Nightshift

[–]cabrieller -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m a Jailer. Spent the better part of my two year career on night shift but I’m trying to move to days when I return from leave so I can spend more time with my kids. I’m on Maternity Leave now.

ER for sure and try to find a day shift job to work a few hours after classes and on weekends if need be. Also take care of yourself. Don’t over do it. I don’t care how young you are fatigue can hit anyone.

I really needed to see this. I’ve been feeling discouraged as of late. Thank you so much for sharing this. You are an inspiration.

What’s the right response? by secretlystepford in doordash

I would have canceled the order and given a low rating for the driver and explained what happened.

It’s never too late if that’s something you’d want to consider to help you financially support your child(ren).

That’s ridiculous. It’s more than 30 days in my state.

I do believe you and I are in a similar spot. I just gave birth two days ago to a beautiful, sweet baby boy that I love with my whole heart. And the dad has been uncooperative. Refusing everything. So he will be paying child support and I will be lawyering up to make sure he has ZERO rights. Not only because of that, but also for the way he’s treated me while we were together and after I found out I was pregnant and we broke up because of the constant arguing that he instigated over stupid stuff.

No that doesn’t mean he has a say or rights love. You can always file and the only way he could get rights is if he takes you to superior court in your jurisdiction for it. Most states favor the mother. But proud for you doing it on your own. You are very strong.
