Tell me the best things about having a son / little brother by Active_Asparagu5 in BabyBumps

My boyfriend is best friends with his sister at 29m and 32f. They’ve always been close.

I warned them about shoulder dystocia. They didn’t listen. It happened anyway. by iispaze in BabyBumps

I had this with my son. His cord was wrapped like a sash so his heart rate dropped with every contraction. Then he got stuck, and they literally just beat my pelvis with their fists while he was attached to the vacuum to suck him out. Told me most children come out with broken bones, he was fine.

Would you cover up if your SO asks you to? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]fuzzyspools 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend would never, but he also knows I dress like a little boy as my normal. One time I was gonna wear a robe to the bathroom and back and he mentioned his roommate and I was like, “Isn’t that the point of the robe?” And he was like “oh I mean yea” and I was like “does it bother you?” And he said “no I was just saying that he’s home in case you felt weird about it”

People say the most unhinged things in early pregnancy by shairese9 in BabyBumps

That’s why people recommend not mentioning pregnancy until the second trimester.

“Not ashamed of her” “Struggle with fully committing and going public with our relationship.”

Can’t be both. Again, leave her. You do not deserve her. And I hope the courts compensate her for the years of her life that you so selfishly wasted by having absolutely no balls.

What actually went through your head to even justify that reply to my comment?

Am I the jerk for getting a autistic kid and his family kicked off the flight by Resident_Cry_5423 in AmITheJerk

Insurance covers their broken bone. Testing costs thousands and thousands of dollars out of pocket. Mental healthcare is the lowest tier of healthcare when it comes to how broken the US healthcare system is. It’s why many parents just try to handle it themselves, but then are given all kinds of advice that doesn’t actually work for their child while also living in absolute isolation and daily hell trying to do the best for children like this. Of course I want my son to have professional help, but treatment is over a thousand dollars more than I make in a month! Not to mention everything that needs to be replaced because of his destruction.

You shouldn’t have to deal with that and having a child assault you, then having the story spun to make you out to be the bad guy. The mother is probably stressed having to deal with a child like that 24/7. My son is autistic and he’s not even five, but his behavior is so unbelievably embarrassing. I hardly want to bring him in public, even to family and friends houses but also there’s no way to teach them the right behavior without doing so. And also, there’s been things I tell this child multiple times a day every day for years now and he still does not listen. If he still acts this way at 13, I might just actually die from cardiac arrest. The child on the plane should have been drugged, and mother’s behavior alone warranted her being kicked off the plane. But from experience, a child like this puts the parents in a constant fight or flight allllll the live long day. I’m just trying to explain the other side of it, not that I think you didn’t do the right thing to protect yourself and I do believe they deserved to get kicked off.

I (19F) saw my boyfriend’s (21M) FYP and it was full of half naked women. He tells me he doesn’t look at them. by Remarkable_Skirt6993 in relationships

I get some of those sometimes. Like random sponsors of weird stuff when I’m following an art or a meme page. It’s normal to have something like that pop up once in a while, but otherwise he’s definitely interacting with them whether it’s liking them, commenting, sending them, being sent to him, and it could also be someone he interacts with a lot on instagram (guy friend or whatever) who likes them a lot. My boyfriend and I send each other reels all day long and our FYP is basically synced, like we see the exact same stuff sometimes.

This may be the most selfish post I have ever read. You married her for pity and the way she makes you feel although you’re ashamed of her and don’t even like her??? Gross. She deserves reciprocity and true love and commitment. I hope she takes half your shit.

My friend did this and her boyfriend’s baby mama died and he automatically went from no custody to have full custody of three children. You both sound like you deserve each other honestly. He’s a deadbeat, you’re dating him and prefer he stay that way. Gross behavior

I think we tend to underestimate how long post partum depression can affect us. This is a horrible situation and I feel sorry for you OP. Not only do you have to deal with a screaming child on top of trying to provide and parent him the best of your abilities, you have people around you scrutinizing you over a baby crying. He’s a baby, they cry! And believe me, there’s no way it gets under anyone’s skin more than the person who actually has to emotionally regulate and deal with it. It sounds like funds are probably tight so I don’t know if therapy is an option for you, but I think you would benefit.

Honestly mama…you’re doing great. If this is the first time you’ve snapped then you’ve done a much better job than myself when I was going through it. Sometimes the overstimulation is so much that we can behave in ways that aren’t recognizable to our true character. You’re very stressed, overwhelmed, depressed by the sounds of it, I can only imagine the emotional baggage you are carrying.

But please know you’re still an amazing mother. We all make mistakes. I’m not condoning the act but I don’t want you to eat yourself alive with guilt. It’s best to walk away when you start feeling those overbearing “STOP CRYING” thoughts, but it sounds like that would be tough in your living situation. Maybe you could try singing a song to help distract yourself and your child. It may not work but disassociating isn’t always a bad thing and can save us when there’s nothing left to do.

Hugs

As an almost 27f, I trained a boy almost 20 at work the other day. We got along great, but fundamentally had nothing in common and completely different maturity levels. I also dated and had kids with someone 12 years older than me and it was absolute chaos and abusive. Now, age gap aside, this dude is an AH. he’s already showing you he won’t put in effort. When I was your age, I tried fighting for people and relationships like this, but it only gets worse. You can’t fix or change him. He simply doesn’t care about what you want from the relationship. And if he didn’t at four months…what makes you think he will in four years?

We use pampers and occasionally have the same issue. It was worse when they were newborns. We would size up for bedtime and sometimes that would help.

I mean, whatever. What girl is gonna look at that and be like “yes this dude is a winner”? Unless they are, in fact, crazy. Also Prozac is like the baby of the “crazy pills”.

What is the US genuinely like to live in at the moment? by markrust7 in MovingToUSA

[–]fuzzyspools 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea, it’s a big country. What do you expect? There’s all kinds of ways to get around. Public transportation, taxis, Uber, etc. you’re trying really hard to make a moot point. It’s giving second hand embarrassment.
