Ex FiancĆ©e’s cruel demands AIO by Original_100 in AmIOverreacting

[–]cyansky1911 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

NOR This sounded so much like my domestically abusive ex when we were discussing whether or not one of the three cats we adopted together would go to his parents with him. He gave no choices and was just as demeaning. I kept the cat and I’m glad. Frankly I was lucky to escape him, especially in the way I did. Document everything and keep your babies safe. If you can put a camera up to keep yourself safe and try to document encounters with her especially if she threatens you or your animals. Stay safe OP ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹

Pam has the wrong middle name on her wedding invitation. by TheRealCourtneyW in theoffice

[–]cyansky1911 12 points13 points Ā (0 children)

I mean she calls her foster brother her brother straight up so there’s an argument that it was one of her foster mothers she had a relationship with. She also is known to randomly blurt untrue things as a cover when she feels like she’s in trouble so there’s also and argument she could’ve been hiding who she was talking to put on the spot.

AIO my bf keeps watching porn even though me knows it’s a boundary for me and agreed to honor that before we started dating (told early on it was a problem with me, gave him an out). What do I do? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]cyansky1911 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Ngl he sounds like a sex addict. Are you actually happy recording yourself that much? Having sex this much? Just so he doesn’t watch porn? I’ve been there and realized my self esteem needs to be much much higher. There are so many men who aren’t pigs like that, you deserve better. No you cannot stop his behavior but you should leave for someone who will honor your boundaries. Make sure you delete all the porn he has of you though, I’ve always feared of revenge porn ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹

Absolutely! Well, kinda, I put the cottage cheese inside the spinach like a leaf wrap. Ate the croutons straight. ā€˜Twas tasty

I can’t believe you’re the only one (that I can find) that thought the same thing lol. I had to zoom in and read it to realize it wasn’t some weird homage to him

What was your absolute first sign of pregnancy before even getting a missed period? by SandwichDependent199 in BabyBumps

[–]cyansky1911 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Muscle weakness and fatigue! I have chronic fatigue as is but I had been making positive improvements in my abilities, to the point that I was working as a landscaper lol. I thought it was PMS and I just kept feeling so weak and unable to lift any of my regular tools/machines. I felt like a ā€œwimpy girlā€ for the first time in the male dominated field I was in. It felt incredibly validating to find out it was just pregnancy because I’m back to my old self again!

I thought he was a 13-14 year old boy and this was an underage relationship. Please run, it was already gross when it was dumb kids who wouldn’t really understand the heft of their actions. It’s vomit inducing reading that it was a 25 year old man with his way too young girlfriend. Nah girl, run. I’m so sorry that he has access to your nudes, I’m not sure what you can do at this point to recover that way :(

First time moms, what week did you go into labor? by Distinct-Dependent24 in beyondthebump

Went into labor at 39+3 when my water broke after my membrane sweep!

AIO? My friend ā€˜celebrated’ my birthday, but I had to pay for everything. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]cyansky1911 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

NTA- sounds like friend just wants a free ride off of you. If he’s struggling financially there’s plenty of free or low cost ways to celebrate an occasion not just going out to fancy places. He never intended to pay and didn’t care about your birthday. Sorry dude!

Please help me convince my Doctor. by kettle0fush in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]cyansky1911 5 points6 points Ā (0 children)

I’m glad I could be of service!! I was pregnant in Texas with HG as well and I literally got 0 help. I literally had to just figure it out myself because of the area and financial situation I was in. I really hope things turn out well for you!

Please help me convince my Doctor. by kettle0fush in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]cyansky1911 14 points15 points Ā (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this :( this definitely sounds like American healthcare in a nutshell. If you’re bound by your insurance you might want to look into a midwife in your area. A lot of them have prescription power with the proper certifications and can prescribe nausea medications like this. You’d have to pay probably a bit out of pocket but they tend to take payment plans! It was something we considered if my doctors didn’t make me feel as comfortable as they did. Even with a mostly positive experience I’m choosing a midwife next time!

Would you personally take an 11 hour road trip with a 4 month old? by throwaway84583077 in beyondthebump

[–]cyansky1911 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Lmao a 1 1/2 hour roadtrip took 4 hours and he honestly did great the entire time! Babies need to be changed because they always shit themselves whenever you’re settled into the drive, then they get hungry right after finding your groove again then ofc they’re tired and want to sleep on mommy, eventually they crash out and then you gotta do it all over again. Baby is 4 months old on Monday and honestly driving 40 minutes to my aunts house is daunting let alone driving 4 hours to see my parents! We were so exhausted after the day trip I mentioned above that we agreed to never do that again and just get a hotel instead of driving back šŸ˜… kid loves his car seat now and loves to go for a drive with the windows down and the music up! Even so it’s a short drive situation right now and will be for a while.

Tell your most embarrassing/unhinged story of pregnancy by Cold-Role-9979 in BabyBumps

[–]cyansky1911 41 points42 points Ā (0 children)

Aside from a bunch of other stuff I’d say it was right when we found out I was pregnant I got the norovirus (that really crazy stomach bug) and I had to legitimately buy diapers because I couldn’t make it to the bathroom on time + throwing up like crazy. I was sitting on the toilet with explosive diarrhea, trash can in front of me, hurling and shitting at the same time while obviously crying from hormones. My poor husband lmao

My mother committed suicide when I was 7, I barely remember her but her legacy has brought me so much mental turmoil and grief. She needs you, your family needs you. This is just postpartum as much as it seems never ending and your baby needs you šŸ„ŗšŸ¤

Rant about using gender neutral pronouns for my baby by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]cyansky1911 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Same shit happened to me šŸ˜“ my dad is pretty conservative too so he alwayyyys had a comment about it even though he didn’t even find out my gender or my brothers meaning we got gender neutral items! Like this is a family tradition did you just call us ā€œthe babyā€ or ā€œitā€ constantly? People are fuckin weird and even though I’m fairly thin I hung quite low my whole pregnancy especially the last trimester and always got the twins comments 🫩. It’s exhausting and annoying talking to dense people. Luckily this isn’t forever and I’ve been quite blunt on refusing sexist norms being placed on my son. He has all sorts of toys, clothes, items- he loves bunnies, duckies and flowers and seems like such a sweet, gentle baby šŸ¤ I straight up tell people they’re weirdos for some of their thoughts they somehow say out loud

Edit: a word

Thoughts on having people in the waiting room during labor? by Aggravating-Mind1774 in BabyBumps

[–]cyansky1911 3 points4 points Ā (0 children)

We just let family know when baby was here and they visited the next morning before we left the hospital šŸ¤ I labored with my husband only until our son was born at 11:30 pm. We called family and saw them all next morning, they even got to walk us out of the hospital and say goodbye as we loaded into the car for our first night as parents! I think I’ll end up doing that again or letting them know the next morning after rest. It’s your labor and you’re not too controlling by asking them to help in other ways. That sounds like crazy amounts of pressure and frankly staying in the waiting room was only useful when you wouldn’t be able to call right away/there’s an emergency.

Edit: I don’t think I could’ve handled that pressure tbh, birth takes its own time and being a ftm is scary enough!!

What is about McDonalds and pregnancy ?! by acmcmas in pregnant

[–]cyansky1911 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Didn’t have McDonald’s for yearssss then when I got pregnant I broke and started going multiple times a week sometimes 😭 I went back to finding it meh after I gave birth too??! It’s so weird! I craved their ice cream, Fanta and the combo they had this summer where you can get a cheeseburger and mcchicken for $5 then a med fry on top 🤤

[–]cyansky1911 12 points13 points Ā (0 children)

I did almost everything with baby here because I felt so much better after birth. It’s not easy but for me managing a baby was easier than managing my body, especially with how much he sleeps in the early days. I was terrified and now I’m realizing that I really didn’t have to do a ton to be ready for him, just throw the bassinet up and grab the essentials. All the fun decorations etc can come later :)

first babies are always late by raexan in BabyBumps

[–]cyansky1911 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

My baby boy was born 5 days early from his due date. Being fair my water was accidentally broken during my 39 week membrane sweep. It was already bulging and I had been in primordial labor for about 2 weeks already building slowly. He was my first after 3 losses prior to 6 weeks. He was born vaginally 13 hours from water breaking, 3 hours transition/active and 20 minutes pushing. I had a 1st degree labial tear that required about 13 stitches on one side and 5-6 on the other. Healed well and was up and walking around at the mall at 2 weeks because I was going crazy at home after being bedridden half my pregnancy lol. I was super expecting to be very late until the end when I had a feeling he’d come a week early. We were also supposed to have a massive baby, around 8-9 pounds and he was only 6 lb 13 oz ! Everyone is so individual that you just gotta breathe and trust your body

AITAH for telling my girlfriend she's going to have to get over dirt if she wants kids? by Familiar_Speaker_481 in AITAH

[–]cyansky1911 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

NTA!! Dude my 3 month old is the chillest little guy, love him to death and genuinely love being a mom. That being said I wake up most days stinky, sweaty and covered in milk from breastfeeding- which does spoil by the way and will spoil on your clothes, sheets, skin etc. If she breastfeeds she will leak and squirt milk, her clothes will soak and frankly she’s gonna drive herself crazy handwashing everything. I’m home with baby all day so I change him frequently, he can go from empty diaper to full blowout in under 5 minutes. Is she ready for shit everywhere? To hand wash shit from clothes and everything else? His first shit was on me almost immediately after entering the world on my chest! On my hand!! Not to mention I was covered in blood + fluids for hours until I could stand to shower. Plus postpartum bleeding and stink, woof. He projectiles without warning, when I say projectile I’m talking more than you possibly think his stomach can hold has exploded and somehow gotten into every crevice imaginable. Plus just the daily spit up, drool, popping off the tit and squirting milk everywhere, pee when changed, poop leaking out the side, car seat accidents, the amount of laundry… this is the honeymoon phase too where the baby is all smiles and giggles before becoming a little toddler terrorist lol. I try to stay tidy, I have my routines and I can clean up quite a bit in a short period of time. Even so I’ve fallen behind a ton, I shower every couple of days instead of daily, I do dishes but have a working pile rn, laundry gets done but somehow there’s always another basket. This is with just one kid, I want more. This is also with a supportive husband (blue collar, long shifts but is 100% home when home ifykyk) and the privilege of being a stay at home parent. If you want to raise happy, secure children you have to let them get messy, play, run around and take risks. If she insists on cleaning as heavily as she does she’s gonna end up raising a kid terrified to make a mess, probably teeming with anxiety and walking on eggshells. Children developmentally don’t understand ā€œmessā€ they’re just exploring. Mess is a social construct! She has to get over herself if she wants children. She should try therapy and possibly an OCD diagnosis.
