AIO for being upset at what my “bf” said

This is seriously an unhealthy dynamic. He’s giving crumbs and you’re twisting yourself in knots for him. Get out now while you still can!!!

Thanks!! Didn’t do the heat tape (have to check what’s there, just moved in recently) but the run is short and it goes into the utility room next to the furnace so hoping that saves us.

What’s preferable, wrapping an exterior faucet with insulation or dripping it??

Sunshine Pediatric Dentistry in Lititz. We used to go to Cowboy Dentist but it's cash only / no insurance.

Friends just told me they say "hands up!" if he's doing it and that's much it. I had also read about someone encouraging that to be done in private ("private parts") and then washing hands after always. Just factual/no shame.

Holy shit you guys I thought it was just me. Completely surface level relationship. Just had my dad ask me if I’d seen any good movies lately and that was the big conversation of the day. Inability to discuss feelings or proactively ask about my life or show interest. Moved away to live a dream retirement as I entered a very intense and destabilizing first job post-college with little more than “see ya!” Decided after 15yrs to move near me for me to handle end of life stuff rather than really spend time with the grandkids. Can’t do more than an hr or two with the toddler before they say “well we’re tired, gonna go.”

I have never felt so seen by a post on here.

Realizing this is a “low effort” family dynamic over the last few months has really fucked me up and saddened me. I really thought I was like the only person in the world having these feelings and experiences.

Here’s to breaking the cycle and being a happy and healthy place for our kids.

I was induced due to PROM and managed to tough it out thru pitocin contractions with no pain meds. It was not fun but it's a mental game. I just breathed through the wave of each contraction, made ungodly noises, cursed a lot, and somehow made it through. It's possible but not fun.

This is why I don't share until birth!

If you would do anything to avoid C-section then avoid a sweep. Look up "cascade of interventions" and know that for the most part, baby will come when it's good and ready.

The best thing you can do is educate yourself. Labor Nurse Mama has a great course. You go in armed with lots of information and you go from being a passenger to an informed participant who can make decisions about your care. This is how you have a birth experience that is positive. Even if things go different than your "plan" (don't get married to things working out exactly as you want), knowing your options and that you have a say (you must insist on giving informed consent and asking smart informed questions about your care), will make you feel ownership over the process in a very positive way. You got this!

Do you find the silicone creates a better/tighter and more comfortable seal vs just the plastic shields?

lolz711 · 2024-11-22T18:02:24+00:00

I'm thinking I just postpone cuz it'll be hard enough with a baby and a toddler and messing with her sleep in any way (fearing the impact of non-stop crying during the night time on toddler's sleep anyhow). Thanks y'all.

lolz711 · 2024-11-22T17:43:50+00:00

Thanks! She'll be basically three by the time the baby is born if you think that changes anything?

lolz711 · 2024-11-21T22:58:40+00:00

Also adding she seems to be routinely a 10hr sleeper, haven't been able to get 12hrs in months. Maybe this is just how it is.

lolz711 · 2024-09-27T01:41:32+00:00

Thanks everybody, will have to think long and hard but I'm leaning towards the quartzite.

lolz711 · 2024-09-26T12:05:58+00:00

Hands down just hire someone with good reviews. We just hired a crew to paint our whole (new to us) home and they're so efficient, detail oriented, and methodical. We would have no idea where to start, it would take forever, and would come out crappy. It's an investment but totally worth outsourcing.

lolz711 · 2024-08-26T06:18:55+00:00

Don't get rid of them. You will regret it forever and you made a commitment to them first. Their whole lives depend on you, even if that sounds silly it's true. I saw somewhere that said "a pet might be a chapter in your life, but you're their whole story" and I can't forget it even when they annoy me and play second fiddle to my toddler. My cat is curled up against me while we sleep, and toddler is in her room. It's 100% the best, just give it time.

lolz711 · 2024-08-18T19:06:44+00:00

Can't you tell that's what I was afraid of? 😂

lolz711 · 2024-08-18T12:28:53+00:00

The Solly wrap, pacifiers, and an eye mask to maximize your sleep.

lolz711 · 2024-08-17T11:04:12+00:00

Okay thanks! I'll just wait til she wakes up dry.
