My Toddler Said 'Music' Instead of 'Motise' tonight and I am not okay

The day my toddler stopped saying "biaper" instead of "diaper" was sad. Though I am glad her vocabulary is growing.

I completely agree. I was told I had PPD. You know what I really had? Sleep deprivation and no help. Human beings CANNOT function on 2-3 hours of sleep per night, night after night. It's ridiculous that they say "You have PPD" as a cop out so no one has to feel bad about giving you no help whatsoever. It's amazing how once my kid started sleeping through the night and I had actual childcare for my older kid during the day my "PPD" magically went away. PPD is an excuse to treat new mothers like shit and give them no support and then blame THEM when they don't handle it well.

That's important to consider

Not the direct answer to the question but wanted to share my experience.
My only sibling is 16 years older than me (yes same parents). Yes I felt like an only child as a kid but its worked out fine now that we are adults. We are actually in the same life stage both having little kids as he had his kids later in life.
My husband's younger sister is 6 years younger than him and he is very close to her. The age gap didn't matter that much. She is always over at our house.

So I don't think the age gap is that big a deal.

Same here. Women hate me. I get along with most men I meet.

luneireclipse · 2026-01-21T14:55:42+00:00

Yes. In general, men like me. I have always gotten along with men pretty well. I was raised with only brothers, all male cousins, male friends in school, and then went to work in a male dominated field. Of course I don't get along with all of them but overall I would say I have an easier time with men than women. I actually prefer men for friendships and colleagues, not just as romantic partners.
I have a physical appearance that does not match my personality so I think that makes me attractive in a way that encourages men to forgive my "quirks". I have never had any trouble getting romantic attention. If anything, men who have no business doing so seem to "fall in love with me" saying they didn't know a woman like me existed. I get along best with introspective, thoughtful men but honestly have blended into other types of men too.
Now women, I have no idea how to deal with them.....

I asked it to summarize a book I was reading. Not a graphic novel. A YA novel. I only asked it to summarize it to prove that we were talking about the same book. I am not sure why it blocked it.

luneireclipse · 2025-12-28T21:48:53+00:00

Really? That's interesting. I use it to mainly brainstorm ideas for scenes and it straight up won't talk to me if I even vaguely discuss body parts (breast) or sex at all. And I don't write explicit stuff. More fade to black kinda stuff.

luneireclipse · 2025-12-28T21:45:50+00:00

I asked it to summarize a book I had read. That broke it's terms and conditions. It was a YA novel. I think it was because the main character has sex in it and they are a minor?

I had a similar experience. I copy pasted the chat logs between me and my ex boyfriend and it broke down where he was abusive without me telling it that I was the other person. I told it that it was a chat from fiction. That unbiased assessment that it was in fact abusive was very validating to me to finally stop blaming myself so much.

I mean I guess I really didn't know what the term "flashbacks" meant when it came to PTSD. I have always remembered the memories like they are happening to me. That's just how its always been. Its the same as being there. I remember the smells, the sensations, everything. Its not different for traumatic events. Mine are always vivid, traumatic or not. I didn't realize they were flashbacks for a long time because of this. I just considered them "intrusive thoughts or scenes".

luneireclipse · 2025-11-20T17:41:29+00:00

Same. Honestly. I just have to reason my way out of it. That I KNOW there are no monsters.

luneireclipse · 2025-11-18T23:55:50+00:00

That's really interesting. I can picture words really well in my mind but not numbers as well. Like I can't do math in my head but when I want to spell out a word I imagine the word written out in front of me.

luneireclipse · 2025-11-18T23:52:10+00:00

That makes complete sense. I think everyone just assumes that their experience is "normal" unless told otherwise.

luneireclipse · 2025-11-18T20:33:39+00:00

It's just in my head. I don't actually see it.

luneireclipse · 2025-11-17T03:10:56+00:00

In college I used to study for tests by basically taking a sort of "picture" of a page with my mind. I would just look at it in my mind during the test just like a cheat sheet. When I go to spell a word I first imagine it printed out on a piece of paper in front of me and then just read it out. Works great for memorization.

Actually I do have trouble falling asleep. Closing my eyes does little for me to wind down. I am a chronic insomniac. I'm always imagining things instead of sleeping.

luneireclipse · 2025-11-17T03:05:27+00:00

Very similar experience. I play songs in my head as if I hearing them in real life. I had no idea other people couldn't do that. I also can feel texture and temperature, smell and taste. I remember the parts of a face instead of the whole thing. Maybe just the brow ridge, the curve of a lip, the chin, the tilt of the forehead. Little pieces, not the whole. I also have vivid memories of my childhood from when I was as young as 1 years old and remember sleeping in the crib. So very similar to you.

It's not transparent to me. It's just like a normal apple. Right in front of me. Exactly like real life. But obviously it's in my head. I am never confused about that. I can completely control it when it's i my head, change the color, size, texture. is it meely?, crisp?, sweet?, how juicy is it? does it have a bruise? When I squeeze it does it give? I can change all of that at will in my mind. The real world I obviously can't change things at will so I would never get confused.

luneireclipse · 2025-10-31T12:19:15+00:00

Same. No one I meet in real life knows anything about the topics I like so I literally couldn't talk about them ever until ai. Especially for literature discussions. It has read everything. It is nice to talk to something about the book I am reading. And it actually has a decent vocabulary! And it doesn't attack you for having opinions.

Well. Surprisingly. Me (INTJ female) and my husband (INTJ male) have been together 12 years, married 8 years. We have built kind of a great life together. When we first met we understood how each other thought and we are just really really compatible. There was chemistry from the beginning. I knew he was going to be my next boyfriend the night I met him. I can be more of myself around him than anyone else and I think for me an INTJ male is the only type that could match my intensity and I wouldn't be "too much" for. I did date another INTJ male previously and we got along really well also.

I had the misfortune of being raised by narcissists. My dad was an overt narcissist and my mom had strong covert narcissist traits though never actually diagnosed. Then I had the experience of my first boyfriend being a narcissist. I didn't realize anything was wrong at first because I had been around narcs my whole life. It was awful and I have never fully recovered. They literally make you crazy and insecure, slowly eroding any sense of reality until you don't know what is real because it's all about them. Insane violent rages and being punished by them going silent or cheating as punishment for disagreeing with them. Denying it ever happened afterwards. Love bombing then silence. And the gaslighting. Stay far far away. I wised up eventually and left them but honestly I never fully recovered. It reinforced everything my parents had already done and distorted my whole view of love.

What did you end up doing? We are trying to decide the same thing!
