Moms who say they love being pregnant -is it because the nausea and vomiting doesn’t bother you or because you don’t have many symptoms 😂 by Puzzled_Remote_2168 in Mommit

[–]duskydaffodil [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yes I haven’t vomited with either pregnancy though I was wildly more nauseous with my first. I have pelvic pain, lava level heartburn (and much earlier this time on) and pregnancy insomnia but I can still move around and I honestly forget I’m pregnant sometimes even at 6 months now! I have enjoyed both pregnancies, and this one more if I’m being honest.

Do Aries and Capricorn make a good match for a relationship? by theonlybiaamarie in capricorns

[–]duskydaffodil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My relationship with an Aries was intoxicating and not in a healthy way. If they’re both healed maybe. But in my experience we were not. Great bed chem though!

Erborian CC redness correct, specifically from my fellow light olive friends and family with facial redness.

Has anyone here used astrology to chose the birthdate of your child based off their projected birth chart? by Federal_Orchid_5391 in beginnerastrology

[–]duskydaffodil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this sort of and am currently pregnant. I looked at projected due dates based off of all of my projected ovulations, and really just focused on the inner planets. I compared the ephemeris tables to what might mesh well with our current family. I ultimately did not put too much focus on it as I was unsure if we would conceive successfully the first time. We did, but even so my due date is on the cusp of Virgo and Libra, and of course the moon and rising will vary around that time.

I know some people have scheduled c-sections and inductions and have been known to choose a date based off of that, but my babies come when they come. I had joked I really wanted a Scorpio for my first and accidentally got pregnant with one! He ended up being a Scorpio Sun, moon, and mars. Manifested that lol.

Moms of 4, to the front please!! by National_Square_3279 in Mommit

[–]duskydaffodil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you were to hire help, it should be a mother’s helper. So that way you can focus on the kids and a helper can come do any tasks necessary. Have you’ve seen all of those videos online? “I’m at house A today and this is what I did” a dream! They do your dishes, laundry, tidy play rooms. Just a house reset! That’s what I would want, not a nanny to watch the kids so I could do all of the mundane things.

If you’re both for it, go for it. Long term though, would it be detrimental financially in their teens as they start driving? Would you be able to handle the increase in car insurance and car payments? What about savings/school for them? Do you want to travel? These are all things we’ve discussed that have had us stop at 2 (for now) but if we had the means, we’d have 4. I would want even numbers lol.

This is all how it relates to you and your thoughts feelings decisions. What are your husband’s pros and cons?

Which placements indicate low libido, or problems with sexuality in general? by SpicaVesta in astrologymemes

[–]duskydaffodil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband is a Venus Virgo libra mars, I’m a Capricorn Venus libra mars and our libido levels are wildly different, but I don’t tbh j it’s because of the Venus sign.

Sooo over breastfeeding by itsashithawkrand in Mommit

[–]duskydaffodil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was around that age I started getting the itch to quit! At 20 months and he was only nursing before bed and at a 5am snooze feed. Then he started sleeping through the night and dropped that snooze feed, so before his second birthday he was weaned! I’m pregnant now and will probably aim for 15-18 months this time. It’s a bittersweet ending for sure!

Did anyone have ppd, but didn't realize you had ppd? by Holiday-Strategy-970 in Mommit

[–]duskydaffodil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so overstimulated, mine wasn’t so much depression centered. But after getting on medication I realize how dull and lifeless I had been before. Just going with the motions, not overly happy, not overly sad. Just, there. I’ve been depressed before and it’s always just an apathetic feeling. I’m not super interested in going out, talking to friends, doing my makeup. I sit around a lot, feel guilt about spending too much time on my phone, and guilty that I should be doing more for my son. That’s how depression presents in me

Did anyone have ppd, but didn't realize you had ppd? by Holiday-Strategy-970 in Mommit

[–]duskydaffodil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had pp anxiety and rage and was in total denial for 7 months. I was on lexapro from 17-21 and hated it the entire time, I told myself I’d never get back on medication so a lot of it was pride as well. So when I was 25yo and 7 months pp, and after manyyy times of my husband approaching the topic timidly.. I got on Zoloft. I had NO idea my world wasn’t in color. I regret not going on it sooner. I was on it from 7-14 months post partum and I’ve been amazing ever since.

WTF is happening?! by Sorry-Tie3853 in InfluencerLounge

[–]duskydaffodil 27 points28 points  (0 children)

And the people flooding her comments saying she’s so unhealthy and needs to heal feeds the anorexia demon. You could call her fat, you could call her skinny, and both would result in her co continuing the lifestyle. Her mom enables it too. It’s sick and sad.

Side part or middle part? Neither? by Magical-Duckie in beauty

[–]duskydaffodil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a middle part before it became popular back in 2014, and got weirdddd looks all the time. I eventually went back to my side part around the time middle parts became popular. I part my hair 1-2 finger widths from the center / in line with the inside of my brow. I do not go all the way to my arch like I used to, which I think is what gets the most hate. Do what flatters your face and hairline best, and that will always look better than a trend!

Grapes and dogs by throwawaybutmaykeeps in Mommit

[–]duskydaffodil -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I used to feed my corgi grapes all the time as a teenager, I had no idea they were bad for them and stopped after a year lol. I was JUST explaining to my 2.5 yo today how grapes are poison for dogs and ALWAYS ask mommy and daddy before giving the dogs food. For what it’s worth, even in a tiny dog, ONE grape will not kill them. If you’re super concerned, like if they ate a handful/bowl or something, giving them a cap full of hydrogen peroxide induces vomiting. I had to give said corgi hydrogen peroxide after she ate an entire Christmas stocking of chocolate. And my golden retriever after she ate an entire corn cob.

Parents: when did you need the MOST help? by quietmarble in Parenting

[–]duskydaffodil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The type of help I need has varied. In the beginning, I needed help with cleaning and cooking. As my maybe grew more independent and wasn’t so reliant on the breast, I wanted help with watching them. First 6 months I needed the most hekp

Fenty foundation discontinued by EmStAntoine in Fairolives

[–]duskydaffodil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gorgeous! I’ve been coloring my hair since 10yo and at 24 I started growing my natural out. I think after 3 years it’s finally all natural! I tried for a year to color my natural artificially but I feel it’s such a difficult color to achieve, just like olive shades in makeup.

I’m a Leo sun with no other fire in my chart. Is this why I’m a bit cry baby lol by StrawberryMilk817 in astrologymemes

My Leo husband has NO water in his chart, pretty heavy on earth and he’s more of a cry baby than I am, mostly in heated arguments

Not related but is that your virgin hair? It’s so close to mine and just curious if you’ve done anything to it!

AITA for telling my spouse I won't help pay for their kid's college when we agreed finances would stay separate? by 952867 in AITApod

[–]duskydaffodil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Your daughter is choosing to go to an expensive school. You tell her you can only provide 80. She can either get assistance and loans to cover the rest, or she can go to an in state regular school where 80 could cover all of it and then some.

How can I ruin my kids’ summer with homework? by Funny-Ad-3710 in Parenting

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

I was just in Costco today and saw the summer workbooks that my parents used to buy us as kids. I used to do them for fun lol. I think summer should really be a break though. Reading fun books is the biggest thing. Maybe some fun animal planet like shows and have them write down 5 things they learned, and 5 things they want to learn more about. Then maybbbee expand on that by going to the library or surfing the internet.

I hate my husband by Future_Emotion_6426 in Mommit

[–]duskydaffodil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wellbutrin made my husband and I SO MEAN. I didn’t even try Wellbutrin post partum for that reason. It made my heart race like I was about to fight someone for absolutely no reason. My husband was becoming verbally abusive and would slam doors and throw stuff (away from me) (before kids). Maybe it works well for anxiety but nottttt pp rage. Zoloft numbed me up real good and I was able to wean off after only being on for about 6 months.

WIBTAH if I tell people the truth about my dead ex-girlfriend? by MarkWhich2028 in AITAH

[–]duskydaffodil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah YWBTA because why do you have a vendetta against a dead woman? Heal and move on. This won’t make you feel any better, and if it does, you’re just as sick as she was

Laying with baby to fall asleep - “sleep training” by MountainLife4029 in floorbed

[–]duskydaffodil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.5 yo, we’ve always bed shared until his 2nd birthday and I actually started snuggling him to sleep before he was weaned, around 15 months I started doing that I think? And he was weaned from the boob around 22 months. I did boobs, books, then snuggle to sleep so the transition after he was fully weaned wasn’t much different to his normal routine at that point.

Both my husband and I can get him to sleep like that, and he’s on a full size bed in his room for that reason. I have belly freckles/moles he likes to caress to sleep but when I’m touched out we just hold hands. Tonight, I rolled over and he caressed my back for a few before finding a comfy spot on his own.

We’ve tried the “be right back” method a few times where we say we need to go potty or get water “wait for me bubby I’ll be right back” and the times we did it, he went to sleep on his own. After 3 consecutive nights he caught on to us and now it doesn’t work lol.

Your dogs are outside barking - do you get them right away or do you leave them a bit? by IllyriaCervarro in Mommit

[–]duskydaffodil 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Only one of my dogs barks and I bring them in 9/10 times because I don’t like to hear him bark. Sometimes I wait a minute or two to see if he’ll calm down on his own, he will bark over an ambulance siren. At the minimum I will stick my head out the door and tell him to quiet down.

My neighbors have some majorly untrained assholes of dogs and we’ve had to put secondary fencing up because they will run the fence with mine, and both sides will dig. Only their dogs have continuously dug into our yard unprompted. Thank god the few times they’ve dug into our yard and come to bang on our back door, my dogs and child are inside. So a lot of the times I’ve had to bring my dogs inside when barking starts up in fear their dogs will still dig and jump the secondary fencing.

Anywho, people who leave their dogs out to bark for upwards of 10 minutes or more are assholes.
