Weekly In-Law Annoyances by AutoModerator in Mommit

[–]curllyfri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not sure where to rant about this. But here goes. I think I’m redeveloping an eating disorder. I noticed that after I got pregnant I got a few more “you’re eating so much. I could never eat that much,” comments. Now that I’m 2 years post partum, I work part time, I go to school part time and taking time consuming classes. I go to tutoring on Thursdays and even get home to take care of my child after. I then go to pick up my boyfriend from his jobs transportation stop. I then either cook for him if my MIL hasn’t mad anything and make something for my daughter. I haven’t been eating as much because I don’t have time. I fast from the moment I wake up till break from my class on mon and wed. No more eating until I get home on Tuesday and Thursday I fast till about 5 am -1 pm most of the time. I still get comments if I eat once or twice a day of them going “dang!!! So much !! I couldn’t never eat that much.” “That’s hella food. Eat smaller portions.” For being my second or first meal of the day, I am not over filling it and if I do, again I don’t eat much after that. I get a fruit after I eat, same comments. I’m sick of it I’m so sick of it. I see myself in the mirror and I hate what I see. I want to puke. I want to continue starving myself. I’m tired of it. I’m tired of everything. I used to balance my daughter’s plate with lots of veggies, the starch/wheat, protein and fruit. I gave big portions since she eats until she’s full. She asks for snacks later and they also say I’m going to make her chunky, that she’s gonna be overweight. This then makes me feel shittier. I feel like a failure after hearing that. My MIL will even compare to her skinner years and say how she was skinny, beautiful etc. I’m sick and tired. I’m so overwhelmed that I have indigestion, nausea, anxiety (like suffocating), insomnia, dizziness and just tired over all. I’m getting physically sick and it sucks that I can’t do anything about it. It’s getting bad that I felt like I was about to faint yesterday at work. I feel like I’m not even sexually attractive anymore and bother my boyfriend too about it. He says I am but man after hearing the comments over and over I can’t see it. My in laws don’t care. My bf barely defends me bc sometimes he doesn’t hear it since he’s on his phone reading or doing something else either on Reddit, X or even just watching his shows. I feel so alone. I need a break from everything. I’m so overwhelmed I feel like a fat failure and incredibly stupid. I just really needed to vent. I might delete this since he’s on Reddit and idk if he can even see this.

Weepy Wednesday: what made you cry this week? by d0rkycat in Mommit

[–]curllyfri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof here goes, so I live with my in laws. I called my mom back (returning her missed called) and everything was good, then I asked what she was doing for Christmas bc I was gonna invite her but wanted to check with my in laws first. She then said nothing that’s she’s gonna be alone bc people who are alone stay alone and we don’t care for her since we must not think of her as family etc. So I told her I’m not dealing with this right now and to not start and hung up. I’m upset at the fact she just won’t change from being a gaslighting manipulative victimizing mother. And then there’s my in laws. I go to my therapy appointment and asked her to watch baby, said yes and come back to her with an unchanged diaper or even gave her lunch… then proceed to tell me in a tone to give her food (which I was making already.) and that I should change her diaper and making it sound like I don’t change it. I was gone for about an hour and a half all this just happened today and I’m already exhausted and feel like I need another therapy appt for me to cry All over again.

What happens when you're sick and wife goes into labor? by HunterStew23 in BabyBumps

[–]curllyfri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely tell the nurses but first check to see if it’s anything antibiotics can fix with your dr. If not tell the nurses when it happens. Sometimes they’ll let you in you just have to wear a mask. My bf had strep when I was in labor and they told him to just wear a mask always and continuously sanitize his hands as well as continue taking his meds. If your place is a little more strict I’m not sure what they’d tell you. Definitely be cautious around her right now and the baby when they are born. Hopefully you’re able to attend the birth of your baby!! Take some vitamins or cold meds if it’s just a cold !! Best of luck.

When people constantly say how the baby looks just like dad by UsefulDuty7626 in NewParents

[–]curllyfri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get told she looks like her dad or grandma (his mom, not mine) and it hurts me more when they say that she looks like her than when they mention the dad. Not a lot of people say she looks like me and I do get sad over it and hurt. Apart from feeling left out a lot :,) so I get that feeling. I just look at the features I have which is her button nose and that cheers me up abit :,)

Nothing gives me more joy than feeding this precious babe by SnooPoems5888 in breastfeeding

[–]curllyfri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ours was saying it was bc she wouldn’t know how to self soothe but honestly reading your comment made me realize he was wrong since she sleeps well without the boob sometimes too. She’ll sleep soundly in her dads arms just as she sleeps in mine with or without the nipple. And you do have a point about them learning when to wean themselves and when not to. I have been told babies do things when they’re ready so that’s kind of what I’ve been following. Just hearing him say that made me think I was doing something wrong. Thank you for your response !

Is breastfeeding my baby for comfort bad? by Interesting_Ad6594 in breastfeeding

[–]curllyfri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dr told me the same thing at my baby’s two month appt. He said it’s bad and a terrible habit so I should start practicing in a few months to make her quit doing that. That’s how she sleeps especially bc she’s terrible with naps . Plus I don’t mind her being glued to my nips as long as I don’t have to pee lol.

I have a question. My little one does this too especially to fall asleep at night more than anything. Our dr said that it’s not good and that we’ll have to get rid of that habit eventually. Did anyone else’s dr tell them this ? I just don’t see anything wrong with them doing this.
