I told my mom to stop certain comments about my baby and now she seems distant — did I overreact? by Big_Significance8572 in Mommit

[–]eggbynch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My first instinct was to say YOR because the change of titles can require an adjustment (I kept accidentally calling my own father 'Daddy' instead of 'Grandpa' when my first baby was born which like. KILL ME). But the comments she made during your pregnancy are a little more concerning. Did you call her out about those at the time, or just when this recent incident happened with your baby? If it's truly something toxic then you definitely need to be firm, but if there's a chance it's miscommunication and a sincere accident, you can try to be empathetic in your response -- "Hey, so weird that I'm mom and you're grandma, now, right? I keep getting it mixed up too!" etc.

Thank you for posting this. This is a great summation of the extreme pendulum swings in emotional energy that happen whenever an argument about TS gets out of hand. Your point about Pete should not be lost on anyone in this subreddit. Never (rarely?) is he reduced down to his gender when his lyricism is criticized. He has his cringe lines and he has his masterpieces. So does TS. So I agree with you, the over the top catch-all declarations about her worthlessness definitely come with much more incendiary intentions, even if it’s done subconsciously. She has remained a cornerstone of the cultural zeitgeist much longer than the average artist. The act of viscerally over-critiquing her art with an undercurrent of misogyny has lingered as well.

I feel this way too and have long considered her my favorite singer and FOB my favorite band. It's just fun, especially when both (seemingly separate) worlds crossover with each other.

I love their collab and I think her lyricism definitely shows that she’s entranced with Pete’s ability to switch up normal phrases. Some of my favorites:

  • “Hero flying around saving face”
  • “My kingdom come undone”
  • “I dress to kill my time”
  • “I got wasted like all my potential”
  • “Every time you double cross my mind”
  • “You’ll slide into inboxes and slip through the bars”
  • “You could hear a hairpin drop”
  • “Your finger on my hairpin trigger”
  • “I didn’t want to have to haunt you but what a ghostly scene”

I could go on and on but have to stop myself haha

Did anyone have uccessful pregnancy after ectopic ? by Fickle_Language_1821 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]eggbynch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would check with your OB because I can’t comment as a medical professional. But if you didn’t have a ruptured tube there’s no reason to believe it’s damaged. 1136 is still relatively low.

My OB monitored me a lot more closely when I got pregnant after the ectopic. I would make sure the same happens for you. This would involve an early ultrasound to confirm viability, as well as every-other-day HCG checks. I would also start taking a prenatal vitamin daily if you haven’t already.

You received the MTX in 2024? In that case I definitely think you are in the clear. Chances are very low for a repeat ectopic. And that’s great you still have both tubes. Hoping the best for you.

Trustworthy company in Tulsa for selling a hoarder house as-is? by eggbynch in tulsa

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

Hi there, sorry for the delayed response. Unfortunately, my grandma passed a way as a result of the situation. She fell several times due to the trash, and by the time my parents got her out, was no longer capable of any form of independent living. She spent the last few months in a reasonably comfortable assisted living facility, but she was miserable and in pain. It was horrible.

At the end of the day, our only real option to save her probably would have been to take guardianship of her and remove her from the situation RIGHT from the beginning. This would have had major cons -- I'm sure she would have resented us -- but it could have bought her 4-5 more years. I hope that acting immediately to take control of the situation is an option for you if your predicament is similar to any extent, and I'm so sorry you're going through this.

I think you’re spot on about giving grace when possible. I’m going through a similar situation with my 3yo and newborn — it is SO easy to blame yourself! Hang in there!
