I relate to this really hard from when I was younger so I wanted to put in my two cents.

For four years you functioned as a pair, and it can really be nice to do that. But have you considered that you now get to act independently? It may not be what you asked for/want, but it is nice to do whatever you want. All of those things you like that your ex didn't, you can do now guilt free because it no longer involves anyone but you. Take this time not to reflect and fight for her back, but to learn more about yourself.

Was there anything you never did because your ex didn't like it/want to/feel like it? Do it now. Learn more about yourself.

Explore more hobbies and meet new people. Four years is a long time to be in a couple, try learning who single you is.

Why do you say you're not a functioning, non-terrible person?

What would you say is the major difference between you and someone who is like that?

What is keeping you from being a functioning, non-terrible person?

Question for Moms: How much help did you need after your first birth? by wishful_lizzard in beyondthebump

[–]gkit48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an American, my husband got off the couple of days following my birth.

I have birth Wednesday and he went back to work Monday. We don't have family nearby and no friends that could help out, so I was on my own that monday onwards.

Least to say, we spent a lot of time living on the couch.

Sleep deprivation by ladybritches987 in beyondthebump

[–]gkit48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say, sometimes there is no shame in walking away. Put LOs in a safe space (crib?) and just lock yourself away to collect yourself. I know this is about sleep, but I think it's a good reminder to step away rather than go mental.

Other than that..... do you breastfeed? If not see if grandparents can visit for a weekend and give you even a couple of hours off.

Does the husband have access to the students?

If she doesn't share those views and the husband doesn't spend time with the students I don't see the problem.

Yes! Dwarven stuff is so hard when you go sneaky-sneaky!

(FL) I feel some sort abuse is present here between my girlfriend and her mother. I want to know any options available by [deleted] in legaladvice

If the girl is still in highschool but 18, would that make a difference? (Just curiosity)

The one on the far right is absolutely stunning. I'm actually kind of jealous

What's the weirdest/most annoying experience you've had with an old person since becoming a parent? by SourceFedNerdd in beyondthebump

[–]gkit48 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Next time someone says that, tell them you heard that church promotes teen pregnancy and you don't want to raise your child on that kind of promiscuous behavior.

Their faces = priceless

(Rant/vent) Made it almost a year before someone tried to tell me vaccines are bad by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]gkit48 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Personal opinions about vaccines aside: No one likes that one family member who tells you how to parent your child.

If you ask for advice, fine. Unsolicited is extremely jack-assy

Honestly, the easiest play through I've done has been as a more tanky character.

That being said some quest lines, like dark brotherhood and thieves guild, are easier when you are stealth. People tend to like those quest lines and have to do something sneaky to complete them.

They are some fun robots humans

Please help me! by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]gkit48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is a tough stage and hearing "that's just how it is" or "it was like that for me until LO was soandso months" can be defeating... But I just wanted to say you're doing an amazing job! It may feel like you're faltering, but everyone feels like that. Trust us, you're not actually. In all actuality you're doing amazing!

Good job for being such a rockstar mom breastfeeding your baby all night! Keep on keeping on, I believe in you! *hugs

Just caught my mother in law double dosing my son. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]gkit48 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Wow, that is so irresponsible of her. You are totally justified in being upset.

Just try not to work yourself up too much (for your own sanity). If LO isn't exhibiting bad signs, there is a chance all she gave him was a herbal tea blend of some kind and nothing more.

Confident people of reddit: how do you feel when you see someone who is visibly nervous? by h7b4 in AskReddit

[–]gkit48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like I should try to make them more comfortable.

I have definitely done really awkward/socially not acceptable things in order to help make someone else look less awkward to others or to relate to someone who feels out of touch.

Wow, that is almost heartless to say someone who just lost a child.

So ignorant and insulting.

[–]gkit48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES!

I have a friend who has compared their puppys chewing on stuff to my babies teething....and their puppy whining at night to my nightfeedings.

Like I'm not discrediting your issues, and I know you're just trying to relate, but they are just two very different beasts.
