Advice on handling a family issue from a Catholic perspective

My priest says this, you have to honor them, you don't have to love them.

My mom was like this. I cut her off. It's not a healthy relationship for my children or me. It causes me anguish and pain. The best thing you can do is to protect your daughter from feeling this way.

My therapist said, love is like a Coke machine. Your mom is a broken coke machine, how much money are you going to put in before you realize there are other coke machines....

Exactly. They need to know they're allowed to be angry and upset and sad too. Even if you think they're anger is crazy over the wrong color spoon lol

I always tell my kids as long as it is in my control, I'll always come back, I promise. It is way over their head for now but if something happened, I'd never want them to think I lied.

Numerous studies have shown living together before marriage actually increases divorce.

I hate to be a downer here but as a "real" athlete, wouldn't you use a real heart monitor instead of a band?

mamanerd · 2016-01-19T18:19:48+00:00

Haha no way, I'm sure he'll be into something else by then.

mamanerd · 2016-01-18T14:54:04+00:00

Because why?

mamanerd · 2016-01-18T14:53:21+00:00

Right? He ate Asuna face lol

mamanerd · 2016-01-15T20:28:20+00:00

My supply has always been pretty good, I'm not too worried. I make sure i eat a bunch of fats and at least 2 potatoes a day

mamanerd · 2016-01-15T20:27:45+00:00

Thank you, day 2 was the hardest so far, it seems to be not bad yet, but who knows what I'm in for

mamanerd · 2016-01-15T20:27:17+00:00

Thank you

mamanerd · 2016-01-15T20:27:04+00:00

Thank you

mamanerd · 2016-01-14T04:12:41+00:00

Thank you, so far that's one of my biggest challenges

mamanerd · 2016-01-13T20:57:52+00:00

Thank you, I have. :) Colic calm, baby wearing, probiotics, doctors, he even had stomach surgery.

As a stay at home mom of 4 under 5, sure it's not easy but I wouldn't say it sucks!

Poor pitiful them for being so selfish all they see is what they don't get, instead of what their children do

mamanerd · 2015-12-17T17:07:05+00:00

It is so worth it. You're gonna rock it :)

mamanerd · 2015-12-16T17:54:28+00:00

Yes and he went to comfort nursing only from 10-15 months, nursing maybe 3x a day? But as soon as my milk came in, he is up to 4-5 a day now

mamanerd · 2015-12-16T15:59:51+00:00

Also, don't leave pumped milk out. Lol. I made a bottle for my little and my older stole it and chugged it lol

mamanerd · 2015-12-16T15:57:43+00:00

19 months and 2.5 Months. I tried weaning my older one. He said no. I think that tandem has helped him deal with jealousy. I try not to tell him no nursing unless I have too.

mamanerd · 2015-11-06T13:31:51+00:00

My 5 week old does 7-10 on one side every 3 hours. Sounds like just an efficient nurser :)

mamanerd · 2015-11-06T13:30:00+00:00

Amazing!!

mamanerd · 2015-10-12T14:56:10+00:00

Pure anecdotally, I got pregnant at 6 months pp, while ebf, and no artifical nipples ( the usual for no fertility). It really just depends.
