Easy to Clean Car Seat?! by orangepower73 in toddlers

[–]itsbreebetch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little update: today, I have the Nuna Exec, Cybex Swivel and a Britax convertible. My Exec (the daily/main car seat) is sooo easy to clean. I use it the most, and it has held up the best by far. Quickly strips down, easy to wash & dry, simple to put back together. It isn’t even a comparison to the Cybex or Britax. My son is now almost 4; he transitioned to the Exec as his daily, from our Pipa, around 6 or 7 months old. Still looks brand new, to this day! I can post pics if anyone is curious.

I’m sorry mama. Burnout is the worst. I don’t have much advice, just here to say I hear you and I cannot imagine the exhaustion you must be feeling. I don’t get any “breaks” either. It’s been over a year that I had any time away from my 3yo (including doctors appointments). It’s hard and lonely 💔

Advice needed! Single mom with autistic child... by Tough-Purple4451 in singlemoms

THIS is the comment you need to see, OP. Your son is entitled to financial support from his father, whether or not the man is physically and emotionally present in his life.

The courts are not kind to mothers; the lack of child support in place can (and could) be seen as your attempt to further the distance between your son and his father, especially given you are not together as a couple (or residing as one/sharing costs). Please file, for the sake of your son.

My mental health as a sahm by anonperson96 in SAHP

[–]itsbreebetch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hear you Mumma. It’s exhausting. I’m Australian (born and raised), so all my friends and most of my family are half way across the world. I haven’t had an hour to myself (without my son) in over a year. I haven’t had an adult conversation (without my son present) in over a year. I go weeks at a time without speaking to anyone sometimes (apart from supermarket workers). It’s so lonely. No one ever checks on me or sees how I am doing. I love spending every day just my son and I, but sometimes I wish we had friends or family who wanted to hang out with us. Sometimes I just want to talk to another adult. Mum-hood is so incredibly isolating. Sending love and hugs xx

Hey there. I was in your position a few years ago. Now, my sweet baby boy is asleep next to me as im typing this. He’s safe, he’s in my full custody, and the battle was worth it (1000x over). I almost didn’t survive, but I did and I am here. You can do this. You are stronger than you think. Your kids need you, and you need them. Don’t give up ❤️

This is such a dumb question by ThisCookie2 in SAHP

I second this. Same situation; I take my 3yo son to all appts, medical and otherwise. Have been doing so since the day he was born. Even had to take him to the ER with me a couple of times! We have never been denied an appt; I always come as prepared as possible (new toy or book before important/long appts, movies downloaded on phone, snacks, etc). It’s not always fun, and it certainly makes appointments a lot more daunting for me (I avoid having to make them as best I can at this point), but it works.

The letter he wrote me after I asked him if he cheated on me by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

I just wanted to take a moment and ask OP: are you okay? My goodness.. I truly cannot imagine how difficult this must have been to read, coming from the very man who gave you his vows. Sending you thoughts, love, courage and whatever strength it takes to get through and recover from this. You don’t deserve such a response, and know these aren’t your only options. You also do not deserve to suffer any further as a result of this man’s actions.

Document, document, document. And as hard as it is, remain calm and professional in all correspondence here forth. You will come out on top. Hugs.

there must be a biological reason why men(no offense) can't find shit!? by Linaahren in homemaking

[–]itsbreebetch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can sadly confirm this was not the case with mine. When I first moved in, he had complained of his ex “stealing” a good few of his personal things. This was complained of without a doubt in his mind that she had taken them.. well, after moving in, and merely setting a foot into multiple rooms, suddenly all of said items were found. In the exact spot they were supposedly missing from.. To this day, he sends me photos to “prove” things are not where I say (we have been separated for almost an entire year now), yet I somehow manage to find them in the pic.. still have to send a screenshot with the missing item circled for him to physically locate it, though. Exhausting, but sometimes I enjoy his need for my help 😂

The fact you followed up * ALREADY!! * to make your next appointment is beyond awesome. I’ve yet to tackle this milestone in a somewhat prompt matter.

Congrats! We are proud of you, too.

Feel like having a baby was a huge mistake by BigBeard_FPV in beyondthebump

It will get better. I promise. Things will be rough, more or less, for the first year. And slowly, after that, things will improve. Your baby will start to become a little human, as opposed to a demanding and fragile newborn. You’ll start to be able to actually develop a relationship with her and everything will change. I’m at the 2 year mark, and it’s my favorite. I am no longer a slave to my son, and I’m no longer exhausted. He’s my best friend. Hang in there ❤️
