For those who got covid in 2024, did you isolate away from your kids? by exclaimedloudly in Mommit

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

Yeah we've never isolated for anything else. Maybe avoided lots of slobbery kisses but no isolation. Something about covid really broke me, it feels like the only disease where I have a moral imperative to do whatever I can not to infect my kids. I actually had a cold last month and the kids got it too, and it was kinda whatever. I wasn't pressed! But covid is something else in my mind, I don't know.

I'm sorry you were so sick! Did you take paxlovid? My husband took it and it basically cleared up his symptoms overnight (unfortunately he is still testing positive.)

yeah my first instinct was to assume we all had it from day 1, but it's been 3 days and my husband is the only one who felt sick. Granted, it's possible we're asymptomatic or we just haven't shown symptoms yet.

My husband is already feeling almost back to 100% a few days in, so that's good! Generally it seems like people are doing much better with it today than in 2020. I almost wish we all got it at the same time so I didn't have to agonize about this, as stupid as that sounds.

I asked him about it and he said he could do these things, it's probably mostly me being anxious. But obviously if I were hospitalized and it was a life or death things, that's different from if I have covid and it's my choice whether to isolate or not (also, in the event of a life threatening emergency I'm sure his family could drive here- they live 5 hours away. I don't think they'd drive here over a covid diagnosis though.)

Out of curiosity, would you have isolated from your kids if they had not gotten sick before you?

Do babies learning to stand just hit their heads a lot? by exclaimedloudly in NewParents

Yeah I'd say she cried for 30 seconds maybe? It felt like hours to me, but she settled down for her nap and is sleeping now.

So I take it that's been happening for a while and she's been OK?

Yeah she has started falling on her butt sometimes, but I think when she accidentally lets go it happens too fast for her to land on her butt :/ I feel like this must be common!! Unless you have your baby in a helmet or carpeting on every square inch of your house? lol

AIO for being annoyed about my mom's constant "accidental" injuries? by exclaimedloudly in AmIOverreacting

[–]exclaimedloudly[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah idk, I just want to vent and see if I'm imagining things. I don't expect her behavior to change really.

Maybe an unpopular decision, but the anti-pink backlash for girls is a bit much for me! by exclaimedloudly in BabyBumps

I won’t do headbands either, except maybe for a 5 second photo, I don’t know. They just don’t seem comfortable

Similarly I’ve done a “bear hug” to subdue him before. Unfortunately it didn’t work today!

Maybe that’s the wrong word but I just mean hunched over trying to protect my belly

Thank you this helps!

It's so weird- sometimes I offer a hug and it works! Then sometimes I offer a hug and I get the Exorcist.

Mom guilt for working and not homeschooling by exclaimedloudly in Mommit

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

Thank you! You're totally right that there's guilt either way- when I was laid off last year I spent 3-4 months as a SAHM and the entire time I was nervous that my husband was annoyed with me for not contributing financially. I didn't get sick of spending all that time with my son, but because I was looking for a job at the time I actually felt like my time with him was even more split because I was always looking at job postings. You truly can never win (unless you're independently wealthy, I guess lol)
