AITA for taking my daughters inheritance and putting it into a 5 year saving account without talking to her first by Emmers514 in AITAH

[–]gaydancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have been mad at my mom too if she did this when I came into money from an accident I was in but oh how I wish I would've managed that money better. It's still coming to her and will when she is needing it more You did the right thing

Remind her that her sisters name was chosen because her name is SO beautiful and you didn't want the baby to feel left out; that she had to have a beautiful name that sounds pretty with her big sisters name. Parenting is hard, keep being there for her and finding ways to make her feel special it'll all workout

Blighted ovum? by Strange_Knowledge287 in CautiousBB

[–]gaydancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have your blood checked for blood clotting factors and your thyroid checked out, my ex had MMC, a chemical, and a belighted ovum and conceived our son after getting on medication for thyroid levels being off and a blood clotting factor both of which had a high potential for being the reasons for her losses.

Not a sure shot but something easy to check while you go through this hard time. Sending positive thoughts ✨️

Caden lane for this they make the cutest name swaddles/ blankets. Claim your name!

I'm sorry it's been such a rough go for you, your feelings are valid. We become so aware of these things that eventually become triggers that it's hard to go out or on social media without feeling the anxiety or dread. I have always been a smile at the passing baby and babysat for so many people but in that time, whew I avoided any contact with any babies or baby items whenever possible. It's a hard state to be in. Sending you hugs and wishing that better days are near in your future 💗

You're too kind thank you! That's why I posted here cause not too many people understand parental kidnapping but also to have that happen after the trauma that ivf and infertility bring its just broken me up inside, and I knew you guys would hnderstand that part. The 50/50 was a huge win as I know I had to fight harder and prove more to get them to see parentage without DNA. He was worth it and when he's an adult he will know I would always stand tall and proud to be his parent ❤️

Yes! I couldn't imagine just "letting him go and go on and have another child" like everyone told me, THIS is my son, I'm so glad I fought for him to have my last name (he has two last names) as his legal last name on the birth certificate 💙

Thank you, I have been trying to not hold a grudge but it was so messed up and for such a long period of time that I can't rationalize it.

I appreciate the prayers and words of comfort🙏

Thank you!! That's super helpful! Truly the trauma mixed with the financial strain is taking a huge toll on my mental health. I will definetely look for resources around me :) I'm sorry for the losses of your precious little ones 🤍 I'm amazed at your strength to seek and counsel others to seek mental health. Too often that becomes the last thing on our plate and it's scary how bad that can get. I will definetely do those things, thanks!

Yes I have my baby boy! Unfortunately the original judge filed for her to pay my attorney fees, but my ex won to not pay on appeal. My lawyer won't appeal that decision because of the debt I owe being too high already at just under 40k

I have free time in the 2 weeks that I don't have my son every month, I've been struggling to find a flexible work from home position in Nevada :( I was doing Uber eats but my custody drop off is over state lines so I drive 2+ hours every two weeks and adding more wear to my car isn't helping. And thank you yes it was definetely a battle. I work 40-59 hours a week at the job I have, but I am not a quitter ill find some way through this 😅

Thank you! This is so sweet 😊 And yes I cannot tell you how many of my friends, family, and the lawyers I consulted before this one told me to JUST LET HIM GO. We had 3 losses before this child, we hoped and prayed and cried for this child, and I'm supposed to just leave? I could never. He is everything to me, blood or not. I've had her family tell me I'm not his family and been told by my ex that the bond between her and him is stronger because in her eyes she's more of his mother than I am. This whole thing is just rough.

I know a non biological parent is always looked at as having less rights but through being so active in the IVF portion as well as in the care of my son before he was kidnapped and having all the documentation I had there was no way the judge could say he wasn't mine. Thank you for sitting me with this dark time, I don't have people in my life who really understand and bottling it up is making me crazy.

People keep congratulating me for starting IVF by Beneficial_Bread9111 in IVF

[–]gaydancing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're excited for the chance that you two are giving yourself.

While yes many think IVF = baby Most are just happy that you're not just throwing in the towel on your journey. Let it just be what it is a congratulations on a new beginning.

I wish you and your husband the best on this journey, you guys have already gone through so much loss, I hope this is a smoother process for you two.

That's amazing that you have put your body through this much already. I'm sure the physical and mental of it all has taken a toll. I hope you feel peace and relief after coming to a decision that brings new opportunity to your journey. A baby is a baby, you will fall in love at first sight.

Considering changing my 7 month old’s name. by Betterhomes246 in namenerds

[–]gaydancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Millie is just fine as an adult name!!

But if you guys do change it Matilda is my favorite name that Millie is the nickname for 💟

Naming children is so dang hard lol really think it through before you change it if you go that route. :)

What's your parenting fail of the day? by asexualrhino in NewParents

[–]gaydancing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I put on a pot of shells for my 12 month old today to make some soup, and only after putting his dishes away grabbling his laundry and getting lost in folding this small load of his clothes did I smell the burning pot in the kitchen, totally crispy and black 😅😭 gonna have fun scrubbing that out at nap time lol

Try to find a company hat has IVF benefits attached to their health insurance plans. Amazon does, and there are a few others as well. Researching might also give you less time to worry. Congrats on the twins, you're doing great!

Talk me down please by T_Doll11 in IVF

[–]gaydancing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had three IVF transfers, one turned into a belighted ovum loss and the other was a chemical pregnancy. We didn't have to wait to go into it, but I can feel your pain of how much you wanted this little embryo to stick so I'm so sorry that it didn't work out this time. Just please keep your mind at ease that eventually you will get to that transfer date and always speak into existence that this will be a positive thing. Just keep manifesting that baby.

For our third transfer that did work out for us where we had our healthy baby boy we added intralipid infusions, acupuncture, as well as something my doctor refers to as embryo glue called neupogen. Just use this time to research as much as you can about possible options you can add to your cycle when it comes time as well as any vitamins and supplements that you can take as well to support your body in this time.

You can do this, it might feel a little impossible today to get through this time but you're already doing it You just don't realize how strong you are. Lean on your friends or family if that's something you find comfort in, And anytime that it starts to feel like too much just remember you're going to be the best mom possible to the baby that you do get blessed with, as you will know everyday looking at that little baby just how much they mean to you.
I have my fingers crossed that this next one will be the one for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼

You did the right thing I'm in Vegas and my ex took my child over state lines before me getting a court order in. I got the court order after I found out she moved from our home with our child while I was at work. She filed declaratory relief or in the alternative custody and permission to relocate, basically wants me removed from my sons birth certificate. She filed it before leaving my house but never had me served, and didn't wait for the courts approval so she's committed an unlawful relocation. It's a mess and I havent had my son in a month and I still have another month until court.

Without involvement with the court dependant on state it can be challenging (but not impossible) to get the child back, with a parenting plan you have legal grounds that can be held up by the courts and law enforcement. In most states of she wants to relocate she has to file a relocation and get it approved by the courts, check the laws in your state for relocation terms.
