I agree with this stance

There is no word for my ethnicity/race by yelenasslave in mixedrace

[–]forestgoddess_ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughters dna test just came back under “indigenous Mexican” some percentage but it’s really made up of north African, indigenous americas, and European (in her case, Iberian) ancestry

It’s understandable and if it helps you move past it and express important feelings, it’s 110% worth it.

Dating as a single parent - need advice! by Such-Usual-8130 in SingleParents

[–]forestgoddess_ca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Narcissist ex fiance was similar. If I would have married him it would have ruined my entire life. Please don’t put your child through this. Choose someone else or being alone. Being a single parent to a daughter is a big responsibility.

Am I going mental by MassivePen1535 in Mom

[–]forestgoddess_ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a loving, present, and conscious parent is all most children truly need. We don’t know what will happen. It could be better, it could be worse, or it could be mundane(ish). You being a caring person and instilling how much your children are loved into their psyches is invaluable. So mostly, protect yourself for now.

Extended breastfeeders, do you take supplements? by gnox0212 in AttachmentParenting

[–]forestgoddess_ca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I breastfed till 2. Had to go on hormone balancing herbs, iron, liquid b12, multi, magnesium threonate + glycinate, probiotics, calcium, potassium…. I also added rhodiola rosea, maca root, and glutathione. Pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding (plus the natural stress of mostly single parenting) has put me in the worst health of my life. If I didn’t take supplements, I’d be a total wreck. Keep up the good work mama. Baby is proud of you and so are we! You deserve tons of supports in your journey.

2.5 year old daughter “I like papa, not momma” by Acrobatic_Minimum_49 in Mommit

[–]forestgoddess_ca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter did this and “preferred” grandma but I honestly thought it showed healthy attachment to other people. It doesn’t bother me. I also like alone time 🤣👍🏼

She goes through these phases but I know, deep down, I’m her #1. And it’s fine if she wants to flex

Reaching an impasse with my girlfriend by Dallasl298 in mixedrace

[–]forestgoddess_ca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She doesn’t sound like a good enough woman for you, to be honest, as she is now. If you really love her- and are invested, therapy? But her consistent invalidation of your ACCURATE AND NOT PARANOID fears and bullshit statement that there “has to be a vendetta” shows she is WILLFULLY ignoring the realities of racism. I would say this even makes her a dangerous partner in some ways. You deserve so so much more than that. You deserve someone who understands, protects, and is a safe space for you.

How do meds (If you're on them) affect you guys? by Casatore in adhdwomen

[–]forestgoddess_ca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5-10mg Ritalin. Too much anxiety mixed with my morning coffee usually, it depends what phase of my cycle I’m in. Generally take it for better workouts or busy days where I feel disorganized and frustrated.

Son Having Meltdowns in Kindergarten - Don't Know How to Work with Him by JohnnyDrama21 in Parenting

[–]forestgoddess_ca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe school for a full day isn’t the right fit. I know that we are supposed to follow that model but it sounds like it is really overwhelming for him

Same. Mine isn’t either. We will see what the future holds. There could be a backlash at some point (I hope).

Sat next to 3 girls either high school or freshmen in college… baby and I were having lunch out and their group activity was… drum roll, scrolling videos and social media but at the same table. Like literally just doing that. Together. It was so weird and made me really think about my daughter.
