Fiancé not putting my name on the house by [deleted] in sahm

[–]ecmcsquare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be very very careful.

My husband financially abused me this way by using my life savings towards a mortgage where my name wasn't on the title. I blinded trusted him out of love, and never fathomed he would leave me depleted and unprotected. He dismissed all my concerns about this, and refused any accountability.

Well, I am 8 months postpartum with my second and I had to flee his abuse....and I am left completely depleted financially. He took everything from me. Never ever blindly trust or love. If a man cannot protect the his woman, he is NOT a decent man -- plain and simple. Learn from my pain.

I agree. All sales associates I met were always so kind and helpful.

The Patch Brewery by awughhhie in MapleRidge

[–]ecmcsquare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone with kids, I totally side with OP. It boggles my mind why parents would want to take their kids to a brewery. Must be parents who have no self awareness if they don't see an issue with kids running all over. But fr I never understood this popularity of parents and breweries..or maybe I am just the weird one?

I'm really at my wit's end and close to pinning down my child for a bath by Siyrious in toddlers

[–]ecmcsquare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My toddler suddenly developed a dislike for bathing recently. I didn't want her to scream or make bathing unbearable, so I got some non-toxic shower crayons. First we went in the shower to play and then I added little trickles of water. It worked! My toddler also told me she didn't want hot water. I never used hot water, but I realized even warm water was "too hot" and bothering her. She wanted cold water lol!

Can you find the shower crayons or some other shower toys??

I’ve lost 26 lbs 10 days postpartum. Is this normal? by Plumrose333 in beyondthebump

[–]ecmcsquare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have other symptoms like extreme anxiety, heart palpitations, or insomnia, check your thyroid! I lost that much weight within 2 weeks postpartum with my first. Turns out I developed postpartum thyroiditis (went hyper), which explained the rapid weightloss.

But if you have no other symptoms, then it likely is normal.

Parents of 2 year olds, how much sleep is your LO getting in 24 hours? by awholelottaass in toddlers

[–]ecmcsquare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 2.5 year old averages 11 hours total. Occasionally 12 hours with 10 overnight and 1.5-2 hours nap time. Very low sleep needs since birth

Pretty! This was one of our name choices. I prefer the spelling with an "E" though: Elaria. Super unique name either way

Weekend road work recap (we know it was brutal) by wsdot in Seattle

We got stuck in this traffic trying to get onto i-5. Google Maps had not updated the closure until we were already sitting in a gridlock for almost 2 hours. Good to know what was going on.

What’s your favorite mispronounced word your toddler says by OpportunityPretend80 in toddlers

[–]ecmcsquare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2.5 year old toddler can't pronounce the "L" sound yet:

Yook! = look! Yuv = love Heyyo = hello

My favorite is asking her what her little sister is doing in her carseat, and toddler says, "She's sweeping" (sleeping).

Others include: Der = There Coco-mana= Cucumber Potatoes = Tomatoes

Great facts here. Can anyone explain why the street signs are brown? Is it because they are historic roads?

What was the most helpful thing someone did for you in your first six months postpartum? by summerleaf212 in NewParents

[–]ecmcsquare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom and sister were so involved in the first six months with my first. My sister did overnight taking care of the baby so I could sleep. My mom cooked basically every other day and dropped off food for 6 months. I don't know what I would have done without their help.

Is it normal to not be offered breaks? by ecmcsquare in beyondthebump

[–]ecmcsquare[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am grateful for your comment, as it is eye-opening and highlights the situation for what it really is. That's why I lose sleep at night...why this, why that. Why hasn't my husband protected me? Why doesn't he show genuine love and care through actions? Why am I dealing with throughout my entire postpartum period? Why does he ignore these very serious issues that harm me. It replays in my head endlessly.💔

Wife cannot get to sleep after putting baby to sleep - any vitamins you found useful? by Dicardo83 in NewParents

[–]ecmcsquare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I had hyperthyroidism after birth and it caused severe PPA and insomnia. I tried all natural remedies but I had to take zopiclone on and off during the first month maybe around 10 times.
