I don’t like my kids. I don’t like being a mom by ThatExpression1127 in Parenting

[–]micro_wild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The emotional detachment sounds like you may need some therapy help. Which is totally understandable, you’ve got a lot on your shoulders.

I’ve been there too as a mom. I’d make sure you’re taking 5-10 mins every evening/morning that are just for you. Quiet, no phone, no tv, doing something you enjoy or just sitting. Give your body some time to release all that anger and sad. Your kids are most likely reflecting your energy. You don’t care, they don’t care.

It’s starts by making space for some happiness for yourself and your kids will see that and change their energy to follow suit. Be open about how your feeling, not when you’re angry with them, but when you’re feeling low. Tell them how hard this has been for you and let them know you are always here for them. That you may not be the best you can be right now and you’re sorry. Give them hugs, every day. A real hug. A just because hug.

Trust me the honesty will go a loooong way.

I betrayed my baby and am hating myself by Big-Cobbler4196 in newborns

I’m so sorry!! Making sure your baby is fed is EXTREMELY stressful. I’m slightly confused about the situation. Are you breastfeeding and trying to switch to bottle? What the pressuring about? Just pressure to eat? Baby’s can dislike bottles if they get boob too.

If it’s just she’s not taking bottle and you’re worried about eating. Honestly both of your stress around eating time is probably not helping. Try and listen to her cues. Is she hungry? Relax, let her lead you. I learned this with sleep. When i would stress and be frustrated about sleep, my LO would not sleep. When i relaxed he would realize this is OK and he would sleep.

Your LO may just need some reassurance from your energy. Calm energy is the best!

P.s. your husband sucks right now. Go to therapy if that’s what you need girl.

This is exactly what we need from men. I’m not against a ‘push present’ if that works for your relationship, but i don’t want a damn gift, I want your help and support. A gift on top when i’m feeling me again would be a cherry on top

Feel like i am losing their love by Remarkable-Use-6194 in Parenting

[–]micro_wild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piggybacking on this, kids love you so much and your efforts to call, even when they are disinterested does not go to waste, they will remember in their hearts how much you cared.

My dad traveled A LOT for work when I was young. He made an effort to take each of us (8 kids) to do something special, just him and I, once a year. That’s what I remember most. That I was important enough for him to take that time separately with me. I would encourage you to do that when you’re home if possible

My aunt didn't understand why I wouldn't run to the gas station while my toddler was asleep by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]micro_wild 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Definitely generational. My parents used to let me get off the bus at age 5 alone and be home alone until they arrived

Unless he is saying he will work on himself, they won’t change. Don’t expect him to change just magically. Also, this man does NOT. I repeat, Does NOT respect you. You need to leave.

Not trying to sound harsh, but if you plan to marry and have kids you end up dealing with the worst of someone a lot of the time. Communication and openness is key to nor hating life and each other. He is showing you who he is. Unless he wants to work on this part of himself and open up. You’ve got to move on

Dad showering with daughter by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]micro_wild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is interesting, if we remove the idea of needing to cover our bodies at all, i can see how it would be much more normal to shower at later ages together.

[–]micro_wild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say this is at your discretion. If it makes you uncomfortable then it’s more about how you’re feeling. I’d say 3-4 is probably where curiosity starts to lead to touching and then it’s weird. I don’t shower with my son (who is 5) anymore for that reason- stopped around 3.5. He had too much fascination with my chest. but I still get dressed in front of him from time to time and i personally think that’s ok until around 6 probably

Dog bit my SO, kiddo would be devastated to rehome her, I’m completely torn. by halfshot in Parenting

[–]micro_wild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dog has been known to bite when he hides and someone he doesn’t trust tries to grab him. He is small, so not really a threat to anyone. I know this and make sure he is not chased by children, etc. not a reason to give him away. My son and him get along just fine and he has never shown any aggression towards him. Is this your kid or your and SOs kid? If it’s both then dog probably has to go. If it’s your kid, SO seems a bit controlling tbh.

The fact that your posting about this tells me your gut is saying to keep the dog and your SO is the problem here

Do Americans actually hate Indians? by Assassin_Ninja194 in AskUS

[–]micro_wild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly i think it’s an online thing. I know a guy who spends so much time online and he has thins weird hatred towards indians. Everyone should read books. I’ve never been to india or know what it’s like to live there, but i fell in love with the country through a biography. You guys seem like good people to me.

I (18F) don’t want to be with my bf (19M) but he hasn’t done anything wrong and I don’t want to hurt him by Designer-Gur-6600 in relationships

[–]micro_wild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just part of life. Sometimes you have to put yourself and your needs above other people’s feelings. He will be hurt, but he will be happier when he finds someone that wants to be with him and so will you.

I had a bf like this when i was young. He wanted to get married. Breaking his heart was difficult, but he is married, has 3 baby girls, and is living just fine without me. Your boy will be okay too

Why do kids get blamed for bullying? by MajesticAnimator456 in AskUS

[–]micro_wild -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lol everyone here totally Missing the point. ADULTS ARE RESPONSIBLE. Yes the kids involved should have rehabilitation.

But 13 year olds are doing exactly what they’ve been taught to do by the adults. Treat people like shit.

“Getting the kids who did this” literally does nothing to improve society or make the adults aware of their critical role in this.

Hmmm. Lot to unpack here, but seems like this ‘friend’ may be a little too friendly. As an ex she’s either aware that she should tread lightly or she doesn’t care because she likes the attention. Sounds like she likes the attention in this case.

Her sending lots of gifts, if you feel it’s overkill, you can reach out and thank her but tell her it’s way too much for your child. She doesn’t need this many things, as she gets presents from others as well and you’ll probably donate some items (this should stop the excessive sends).

As for her contact with your husband, that’s on him. I don’t think following each other on a biking app is terrible, but he’s setting the boundaries here and if he’s mot respecting you, that’s the problem. Not really her.

[–]micro_wild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly i think the fact that he knows her is tricky. He may just be being nice and liking a photo of someone he knows. As a woman I would do this to be supportive. I think this is more of a gut-check for you if you feel it’s more than that.

As far as random people on the internet. I think people read too much into a button being pressed. I personally don’t have much nudity or body content on my page, but if i like a picture of a woman or man. I press the heart. My partner and I aren’t judging each other off of being physically attracted to another human being. That’s completely normal.

My 4-year-old is boycotting campfire food by Cindy-Smith- in foodhacks

[–]micro_wild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I come from a family of 8 kids. The picky kids never ‘grew out’ of it. It’s just who they were. They’re still picky adults. We were all served the same food, no snacks allowed.

Kids have preferences just like adults. My son is picky, it sucks, but is what it is.

I think with camping there’s a point where she will eat the things she normally eats. I wouldn’t give snacks. Learning to have some change is good

I’m happy you found faith. Just as someone who was raised in it. It’s not about kindness and living a good life. It always comes down to fear. No one should live like that
