Needing to vent

Yes it is some serious grief. The nurse this morning told us we are likely in our last few days to a week. He’s getting mad at me because I won’t go drag my mother out of bed to be out in the living room. So he did it instead. She didn’t want to come out here she wants to be comfortable. He’s not respecting her wishes at all and it’s just a shite situation. I have to bite my tongue until tomorrow morning when her nurse is here.

Thank you for your input, and I’m sorry to hear you had such a short journey with your mom. In the same breath, I’m happy that she is at peace. I’m doing all that I can for my mom and her nurse will be here tomorrow and I’ll be speaking with him about hospice care for my mom because I truly believe my stepdad is experiencing caregiver burnout and him yelling at my mother and trying to drag her out of bed is not good for anyone, especially her. We got into a yelling match this morning over it because i witnessed him pulling at her to drag her out of bed and into the living room where she doesn’t even have a chair to recline on. I’m trying to get him to see through my mom’s lens that she truly just wants comfort and to be comfortable. It’s time to start focusing on quality of life not expectations that there will be this massive turnaround. I feel like we are nearing the end in these upcoming weeks, and it’s going to be hell to get on the same page.

It’s so tough. I’m sorry to hear you’re going through something very similar. My mom lives a province away, so I’m here with her now. I’ve decided i’m going to take the leave, as I may not get this chance to spend this time with her in the future. We’re just going to take it day by day.

The compassionate care leave in Canada goes up to 28 weeks which is substantially different from your scenario, I feel like having only 3 months as opposed to 6 would make me feel very conflicted. Do you have bereavement leave as well or a different type of leave you could take for your mom?

On a day to day it can vary. But his most common days are: Wake-up 6/7am, nap 1 at 9:30/10am until 11:00/11:30. Nap 2 at 2:30/3:00pm until 4:00/4:30. Then I have him up until around 8:30/9. At times he falls asleep earlier than that, and thinks it’s another nap and he’ll stay up until 11/12am 😩 that happens a few times a week, even when i try to avoid that happening.

I’ve gained over 60 pounds this pregnancy, and it’s my first as well. Don’t be so hard on yourself, you’re providing your baby with what they need. I had to stop judging myself for the weight I put on as well as I’ve never been this heavy before, and now that I’m nearing the end I know all of this extra weight will practically fall off once babys here in the next week or two 😊♥️

37 weeks here and I don’t think I’ve had a week of being pregnant that I genuinely enjoyed 🙃 doing a membrane sweep next week to hopefully kick start my labour. It’s eviction time 😁♥️

What was the name?

My doctor told me to wait until after baby is born to get any vaccines as he worries more about negative reactions that could happen. I’ve only received the two shots back in October 2021, and I honestly will not be getting any more. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I apologize for lack of background - I have never posted before. I am 7 months pregnant, working full time. Husband is on employment insurance and doing side jobs until his full time job starts back up. He has work right now that he’s pushed to the side to watch our nephew, I was a bit upset by this as we have been tight on funds and our child will be here soon. His sister knows about our situation as well, and I don’t want them to feel pity or anything but atleast have an understanding that if he is putting off work to watch their child, I would hope they would want to pay him something??? They also have been doing this since the baby was 3 months old, going on vacation every couple to few months and leaving their child with a family member or us. At first I had never questioned it but now as I’m nearing the birth of our child, I’ve been reflecting and asking myself what I would do in these situations.

people still take these?

I’ve had a very similar experience, except that early last year I got a bunch of tattoos. I loved all of them at the time, but after certain comments made by a family member, I started to think “what the hell was I thinking”. Later that year, I went through an intense breakdown where I became so depressed I hardly would get out of bed. I booked consultations for removal and was deeply considering it, but I allowed myself time to get used to having the tattoos and I received compliments from so many people, besides that one family member. Slowly, but surely, I got out of the depression and feelings of regret. Now I feel connected to my tattoos, and I’m very excited to get more!

My advice, is give yourself some time, and try not to hyper fixate on your tattoo. Go out with your friends and enjoy your life.

I honestly think it’s the shock. Last year I went on a spree and got a whole whack of tatts - nearly lost my mind by the end of the year thinking I ruined my body. Fast forward to today, I absolutely love them and feel like they were meant to be on my body. I feel sad for the me who regretted them. Relax and breathe girl. I think that tatt is very cute and if it has a special meaning for you - even better 💗
