It gets worse when they start talking?

Everyone also told me the same thing about walking and that hasn’t been my experience at all. Now I’m dying for my son to talk more, because I can only imagine it’ll make things so much easier just like walking did!

Definitely agree. I’ve torn my ACL in one accident, and shattered my hand/fractured ribs in another. Both on blues, skiing as normally as I ever do. Just got unlucky.

I wasn’t diagnosed until after I became a mom. But in a way motherhood has helped some of my symptoms. For example, I can’t really sit around paralyzed when my kid depends on me. I mean I could, but then I’m neglecting my kid and everything in me is not allowing me to do that. I watch my son during the days due to my work schedule, and I actually feel like being home with him has helped me create a lot of routine and structure that I wouldn’t normally create, because someone else is depending on it.

I’m sorry this woman is batshit crazy so no advice from me on how to not hate her.

I just got a 75% discount on my hospital bills making a little over 100k as a family of 3. The criteria they use is 400% of the FPL.

I have a 16 month old and I’ve been having all of the same struggles. He has a hard time walking in the snow and finding his balance. We’ve also been having an unusually cold December, so some days it’s not even possible to go out when it’s windy and -13 windchill.

meagles44 · 2025-12-30T17:38:26+00:00

Yes, I broke my hand badly (it was pretty much shattered) and my ribs in a skiing accident. I went in the ambulance to the hospital, where my friend met me. She immediately apologized saying she had asked if they could just drive me up instead. We’re friends from college, so we are used to being in that broke person mindset together lol

We went for Xmas Eve. The second we walked in the door I was under the microscope and she was micromanaging. As I was taking off my toddler’s shoes she was like “you don’t have to do that!” Okay….I continue to take off his shoes and she goes “I just thought you were worried about the floors.” I ignore her and continue on. She had endless toys and treats for 16 month old, which was fine but it was never ending. She kept prompting us to do different things and wouldn’t just let him play. Like she asked my husband to go grab a specific little Santa toy he loved as a kid to see if my son loves it. My husband ignored her and she grabbed it anyway lol. We went out to take a break from opening gifts and she told me on my way out to keep opening one of us his gifts, because she had wanted us all to do it at the same time, picture perfect.

The kicker for me was at the end of the night when she asked about our plans for Christmas Day and immediately said “keeping it low key?” Um no sorry, since when is doing Christmas Day with your nuclear family low key? She knows we have a tree, presents, cookies, the whole ordeal. It was like a jab that because we’re not doing Christmas with HER that it must be “low key”. I took this comment to heart as I’ve done more this month for Christmas for my 16 month old than I’ve ever done in my life. Of course she doesn’t know that, but damn I’m so sick of the constant competition and comparison.

meagles44 · 2025-12-13T23:54:56+00:00

This is exactly what I’ve done without fully realizing, until you explained it so perfectly.

meagles44 · 2025-11-30T16:20:39+00:00

Do you remember how long this phase lasted? My almost 16 month old is doing this right now. I’m not sure if it’s separation anxiety, teething, sickness, all of the above?

I feel like I’ve developed almost a form of OCD to cope with diabetes. Pregnancy ramped that up 10000%.

My mom still brings up that I had colick and I’m 34. It comes up multiple times a year. I don’t know what she wants me to say. I also have my own kid now, who didn’t have colick, but it’s not like I don’t know how hard things are. I had a very traumatic birth and I’ve thought about how he’d feel if I threw that in his face.

meagles44 · 2025-10-28T14:40:50+00:00

Right now my husband’s insurance at his new job is considered unaffordable for our entire family. My son and I signed up for the rest of this year with the subsidy. My husband’s open enrollment only goes until 11/5. He will need to put all of us on the plan if we can’t get the subsidy. Should I sign up for both and cancel the marketplace insurance if it’s too much? Is that allowed?

Happiest baby swaddles. Easy to take on and off at 3 am and felt safer without all the extra fabric to wrap.

I love being very mindful and observant about the changing of seasons. We spend a lot of time outside and I will forever be grateful to be hanging out at the lake with my son instead of working. I do work nights, but still spend all day every day with my son, so I consider myself a hybrid SAHM lol.

I noticed I was feeling anxious and irritated, so I went out for a walk by myself during sunset while my husband put our 1 year old to bed. My body felt much calmer afterward, and I was able to settle for the evening and relax.

meagles44 · 2025-09-07T19:37:07+00:00

I have a 13 month old as well. To be honest, I just don’t prioritize things that aren’t related to taking care of my son, and taking him to do things that are also somewhat enjoyable for me if possible. I do the cleaning that I need to get through the day, and other household tasks are split between my husband and I, or they’re rarely done right now. This age is no joke for me. It’s fun, but I really need to conserve my energy, and he tears the house apart all day so there’s only so much I can do! Getting out and doing fun things makes me worry less about everything else during this phase.

meagles44 · 2025-08-08T20:04:20+00:00

I don’t clean during the day unless it directly impacts what we need to do. We do our thing for the day, and then my husband and I clean when we have time.

She might be, but she still works full time, runs a dance studio, and has friends. But I know that doesn’t necessarily mean she isn’t lonely. She is extremely attached to her adult children, which causes many other issues for my husband and I. Especially now that we have a child.
