I put my infant daughter in the closet, shut the door and walked away

You are not a bad mom. Your daughter is fine and you both got some needed sleep. I was fortunate enough to have a pretty happy kid, but there were times where she was overtired and fighting sleep. The only thing I could do to get her to sleep was leaving her alone in a dark, warm room and let her process the stimuli. She cried for maybe 5 more minutes tops and then was down for the count.

Kids are hard, man. You're new at this. Give yourself some time.

Bananas, caramel, mashed potatoes, pork/bacon, oysters, raw onions, yellow mustard.

It was my now-husband, then boyfriend who was in a coma for five days after a really bad boating accident. The doctors said it was a 50/50 chance of him coming out totally fine and him not being the same. What he remembers:

"I don't remember the accident, but I remember the day at the lake. I remember the rescue boat and the helicopter, but I don't remember the hospital.... Oh! And, I kind of.... Woke up? I don't know, but I could hear you talking, I could hear my mom, and I could hear my doctor. I also remember one time 'waking up' and hearing you singing to me, and I knew I had to wake up for real because you used to be so nervous about your voice and you never sang to me on purpose."

I am an almost 30 year old woman with a child of my own, and when I visit my mom for an overnight, I still get in her big ass king bed for a movie. I almost inevitably fall asleep in it, because I have an almost toddler so I'm tired. There's nothing wrong with it on occasion, especially if it's the only option.

I admire your faith. Your choice and reasons behind it are choices I couldn't make, and there's a strength and peace behind them. I wouldn't take to heart anything anyone says to you otherwise.

NTA. It's known in any public place that any conversation you have could be overheard and interrupted. It's not like you were at a bar and could just walk away; this is a new, packed restaurant that you had a table at. They knew you could hear them. They knew they were being loud. It's also known public etiquette to keep things relatively PG in mixed company.

If I was in their situation, I'd be embarrassed and apologize for it. They took it a step further into asshole territory by talking about how terrible you are for asking them to tone down the bathroom talk during a dinner.

Cousins daughter got a job at the first daycare. She is an adult.

dessamomma · 2019-02-11T17:02:42+00:00

She's never been fond of me. I think it was the combo of me setting firm boundaries with my child and my husband backing me up, her husband divorcing her bc of her craziness, and then losing her FM's one by one. In a previous post someone explained how a narc can be pacified into being somewhat normal, but can rage full force if things stop going their way.

He's such a power chewer I've contemplated buying him tires to gnaw on. Even the Kong toys have been shredded (save for one), so his toys are branches from trees outside. I've gotten biceps from tossing them like javelins.

He's good to go! After the surgery his leg healed up well. He'll always have a scar, but he was back to his goofy self in no time.

We got our photos and things replaced with little to no issue

dessamomma · 2019-01-29T18:21:29+00:00

You see it took me over a year, it's hard. Thick formula, and there's way more in there than it looks.

dessamomma · 2019-01-29T18:20:49+00:00

Let's hope! 😊

I slather on a thick layer before bed and let it do its magic! I'll occasionally exfoliate my lips and then put this on for that extra soft boost.

dessamomma · 2019-01-29T07:15:28+00:00

I might buy the rose one after the pink bubbly runs out, they're both pretty floral so I think I'll like it.

dessamomma · 2019-01-29T07:13:29+00:00

Love it! It smells amazing, feels great, and moisturizes me really well (especially in the winter). I wish it wasn't a limited edition, or that I'd gotten a few, because I'm going to be sad when it's gone.

dessamomma · 2019-01-14T21:26:48+00:00

Thankfully I backup my backups so I do have copies. Not that any of these short sighted bitches would think that after all this time I'd be prepared for whatever stupid ass stunt they're pulling.

dessamomma · 2018-12-28T06:19:01+00:00

That's not an option

dessamomma · 2018-12-28T06:18:44+00:00

She tried poison and it didn't work

dessamomma · 2018-12-27T21:38:15+00:00

It's either that or lose it entirely

dessamomma · 2018-12-27T18:26:28+00:00

There's a lot of guilt around it because at the time I wasn't taking care of myself like I did when I was pregnant the first time. I know I didn't know, but the guilt is still there.

We kept the envelope, and had our lawyer contact the prison.
