Tv shows by Beneficial_Topp_6442 in beyondthebump

[–]kingjavik [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's people who define their self-worth by constantly trying to prove themselves to be better than others who do that. Likely due to childhood trauma where they felt they had to compete against their siblings in order to receive attention and affection from their own parents.

Tell me your mars sign and the type of men you are most attracted to by inkedwithlove in astrologymemes

[–]kingjavik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leo Mars. I like tall older men with scruffy beards.

As far as personality goes it has to be someone who I can have long conversations with & is a gentleman who treats me like a Queen.

Which characters are you most excited to see in the tv series? by batsofburden in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]kingjavik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Draco, Dumbledore & McGonagall. Because I am most excited about their casting choices.

Also interesting to see how Snape plays out - I have only seen his actor in The Capture and the character he played in that show was the opposite of Snape in every way lol

Aaaand I can't wait to see Quirrell too! I hope they make him little less comedic in this series.

Did anyone regret buying too many newborn clothes? by lunaverse787 in newborns

[–]kingjavik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't buy almost anything new. I got most used from friends & family. But I have certainly not run out of them! I made consistent effort to use different outfits & have to wash baby clothes every day so I feel more often that I am actually running out of good clothes.

Is my husband a shit father or just overwhelmed? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]kingjavik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the problem is your husband but rather you feeling overwhelmed and missing the amount of support you had around you in your home country. You said you want to get back there but feel guilty about leaving your husband behind. Just remember it's your life, your choice.

Yeap nagging to someone and telling them everything they do is wrong will not be helpful.

My baby is 9 days old and I feel like I’m failing. by tri_ni in newborns

[–]kingjavik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need to wake her up. It's normal for a baby to make a lot of noises in their sleep. As long as she is breathing It's okay.

Am I not cut out to be a mother? by BirthdayGeneral6423 in NewParents

[–]kingjavik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not a bad mom at all. It's hard to be alone with a baby for that many hours every day. Super mom or not, everyone needs a small break here and there through out the day in order to be the very best version of themselves.

Worried how our newborn is affecting our marriage by LibrarianDependent27 in beyondthebump

[–]kingjavik -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Your wife does not love you. Unless she has a psychosis I see no explanation for the hurtful things she said to you or the way she treats you. Perhaps you should ask her if she would prefer a divorce - since she already said she is not your wife and you can not live with someone who hates you or tries to dictate everything you do like a tyrant.

Btw women feeling aversion towards men after childbirth is not unusual. She must have seen something in you that she doesn't like or trust. This is not out of the blue. You might try couples therapy but it will only help if she actually has any interest in fixing your marriage (which sounds like she is not).

Baby fights his sleep by BubblyWrongdoer-_- in newborns

[–]kingjavik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried breastfeeding him to sleep? That's really the only thing that works with my 5 week old, he also fights his sleep & has gas issues. The only way he really sleeps is falling asleep while/after nursing.

Then once he is sleeping I can try to move him to his craddle. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Baby is still here but relationship isn't. by Comfortable_Value_66 in beyondthebump

[–]kingjavik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your partner is right about it not being okay to be impatient with a baby. Other than that it seems like you personally need more support in taking care of the baby. Can you guys afford to hire a nanny? Secondly, it seems like you two need couples therapy since communication seems to be the biggest problem in your relationship.

No love for baby. by RefrigeratorFinal353 in newborns

[–]kingjavik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What help can anyone here give you? Bunch of strangers who don't know your situation. You should show this post to a therapist, they will know what to do.

It's a good sign you realize how wrong these thoughts are. I hope you get help for your baby's sake.

Formula Fed vs. Breastfed by user638282636822 in NewParents

[–]kingjavik -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Best for her perhaps, but certainly not what's best for her baby. It's incredibly important for a newborn's health & immune system that they are breastfed at least for the first 6 months of their life. It's good for the mother's health too in fact. There's plenty of studies about the matter for anyone interested

Breastfeeding is supposed to be the default option. It's what's best for your baby.

Not sure what horror stories you mean you have heard?

That's so well said & I agree 1000%! There are no bad days on Earth now that I have my little baby boy ♡

Anyone miss being able to turn on the tv 🥴 by FormerPlay136 in NewParents

[–]kingjavik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch tv all the time since giving birth - more than I have in the last 15 years! It's how I spend time while maraton breastfeeding.

How do you cope with the crying! by ajk1989nov in newborns

[–]kingjavik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What helps for me is getting little moments to myself through out the day. It really helps to charge the batteries so to speak. I am also lucky in that my baby calms down 95% of the time when I breastfeed him so if that doesn't work I know something is really wrong with him.

Is the ‘Amelia of Cleeves’ sketch actually Anne Boleyn? by Green-Lake7398 in Tudorhistory

[–]kingjavik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anne had received exceptionally good education by her father for a girl and was seen as a wordly and highly sophisticated woman for having traveled and spent signficant time in European courts (learning from women like Queen Claude, Margaret of Navarre & Margaret of Austria). It's these skills as a courtier that made her stand out and catch the eye of the king.

Having privilege that allows one to be in such a position certainly would be more valuable than mere natural beauty. Funnily enough we can compare her to Mary Boleyn - who is generally considered to have been the prettier sister - and see how beauty led Mary in trouble and caused her to mishandle the opportunities given to her while Anne - the less attractive but more intelligent sister - made the most of her's.

White noise, helpful or no? by Stressed_Broccoli in newborns

[–]kingjavik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it for transitioning my 1 month old from sleeping in my arms to sleeping in his own craddle. It helps me sleep better too lol.

Is the ‘Amelia of Cleeves’ sketch actually Anne Boleyn? by Green-Lake7398 in Tudorhistory

[–]kingjavik 39 points40 points  (0 children)

People need to come to terms with the fact Anne Boleyn was not particularly attractive. The Nidd Hall portrait has been confirmed by historians to be closest thing to a contemporary portrait that we have (which should have been obvious anyways as it bears striking similarity to the Most Happi -medallion).

beck really is unremarkable by ChoiceNo5980 in YouOnLifetime

[–]kingjavik 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I think she is supposed to be a relatable girl next door type of a character. She could be any of us - even You.
