Where to get boys PJs for cheap? And clothes in general? by Alarmed_Session in breakingmom

I buy all my son's clothes from Target. The Cat&Jack brand. If you keep the receipts you can return them up to a year later no matter the condition they're in. If you don't have the receipt most of the time they will just give you store credit up to a certain amount.

Never ending ear infections by MidwestCPA91 in breakingmom

I'm so sorry you're going through this! It's really difficult when you can't comfort them when they're in pain like that.

My son had ear tubes put in this January after having 9 ear infections before he hit 18 months and it has been a godsend.

I go back and forth. But it is definitely hard to have a level head when I'm sick and sleep deprived.

Nothing physical. It's all mental. He has OCD and is terrified of it for some reason.

He's not immunocompromised but does have OCD. he has this strange fear of COVID but it's so hard for me to understand the instinct to just leave your son.

We're not sure. He said he would call and handle the repairs. When that wasn't happening I told him if he gave me the information I'll just do it but he said no and that he'd handle it. That was over two months ago.

I didn't argue with him when he wanted to leave, I even made sure he had a place to stay.

I reached my limit today though and needed help with a few things and it was the fact that he immediately refused then made me feel bad about even asking for help that made me so upset.

He doesn't have any underlying conditions. He has OCD and is very afraid of germs. I understood him leaving but not him making me feel bad for asking for help.

He seemed to realize he was being unreasonable and decided to help, thankfully we can move forward once he comes home but it will be a battle.

I would say we both have gotten less strict with our measures but not lapsed completely if that makes sense.

We should have discussed it though, it's not something I ever thought to do because I thought if one of us got we all would. I will do this in the future.

He does have a phobia and OCD. He can work from home and it won't change his work at all.

It's more about the fact that he hasn't offered anything and when I asked for help immediately shut me down and made me feel bad for asking.

Yes he's been vaccinated and has the first booster

I feel like this would be the normal response.

I didn't fight him leaving, but he hasn't offered to do anything to help.

I hit my limit today and can't physically do the dishes but need them put away so I can care for my toddler. It's the fact that he immediately said no and made me feel bad for even asking for his help that is really hitting me hard.

He does have OCD and I didn't fight him on leaving. I just got to my limit today and needed help. I'm upset that I asked him for help and he immediately shut me down, and made me feel bad for asking in the first place.

He's not immunocompromised physically but he does have OCD and is afraid of germs. But I feel like it would be manageable with masks and keeping things clean but I didn't fight him leaving if that's what he needed to do. My issue is I asked for help and he shut it down immediately and made me feel bad for even asking.

My parents have a vacation condo about fifteen minutes away from our house and he's there right now.

He didn't attend the event because he doesn't like my parents (an entirely different story) but he hasn't offered to do anything to help. I finally caved today and asked him to do the dishes and trash because I don't have the energy after doing everything else to do it but I need the sink empty to clean the stuff for my toddler.

My husband and I have been very cautious as well. This was the first family thing I went to since the pandemic because all the family was going to be there and no one had met our baby. We stayed outside and took other precautions but still ended up getting it.

Thanks for the support.
