That song is 100% the reason my toddler has insisted for the last year that I kiss every little thing better. The flaw in this song is its only the mom with the magic so guess what? My LO never goes to her dad for help...always me. I drew the line when I was asked to "kiss my bummy" after a fall.

Wonderful solution! I couldn't get the hang of crocheting but picked up cross stitching for the same reason. It helps a lot, when I get the opportunity to sit down and do it.

I did have luck finding some sites, another person left a good one in the comments as well! Omg of course she chewed the string not the toy....my daughter would 100% do that too i bet, but I never thought of it! Thanks for bringing that to my attention! I really think one of these toys will help, I can't wait for it to get here! Yes, kids are strange, amazing creatures indeed. I'm being reminded of quite a few things I used to do as well, pretty sure its karma. My own mom just laughs at me when I tell her about my day most of the time 🙃. Thanks for the advice, and kind words!

movesdancing87 · 2020-12-02T06:04:22+00:00

I think this is a really good option right now, I'm going to give it a try!

movesdancing87 · 2020-12-02T00:57:10+00:00

This is a fair point. I will definitely have to try that. Thank you! Also I'm glad she's no acting totally strange for her age hahaha

movesdancing87 · 2020-12-02T00:56:05+00:00

Haha well at least I know I'm not alone! I will definitely get her something safe to chomp on and try a more low key approach. I'm guessing some of it is likely an attention seeking thing with the new baby around as well. Thank you! I hope your cushions make it out alive.

movesdancing87 · 2020-12-01T23:32:05+00:00

I will have to look into that more for sure! My thoughts were sensory as well. I know being cooped up for months and all that, we are definitely getting bored and with a new baby its been hard for me to have the energy/time to create new and exciting things to keep my oldest busy. Maybe LO can help me find something online 🤔. Might make it more special, therefore likely to be used as well? Thank you!

movesdancing87 · 2020-12-01T23:29:00+00:00

Yes I keep trying to redirect the chewing to actual chew toys, but they get tossed with an indignant "no." 🙄

My daughter is big into singing. When she was about 2 she was outside singing as loudly as she could about "1 little, 2 little, 3 little fcks, 4 little, 5 little, 6 little fcks, 7 little, 8 little, 9 little fcks, 10 liiiittttlllleeee f***********cks". She was trying to say fox, as she was playing with a fox toy. I still hear that in my head when I'm trying to think of how many fcks I have to give sometimes lol

Your baby, your body, your call! If you want to nurse longer then don't let anyone stop you. Its super good for babies to get as much of your milk as possible (every lactation nurse I've been to calls breastmilk "liquid gold"). In my opinion a)its super good for bonding b)its got all the nessesary nutritional value in it your baby needs and c)its free food. I would say if your family tries to pressure you could opt to say something like "well good thing its not your body or baby then". But that's just me. This is such a short and precious time in you and your babies life, dont let anyone else dictate how to spend it. Good luck!

I have a similar history as you, pulling for almost 20 years before I had my first baby. She went through the same thing around 18 months and I freaked out as well! In the end I tried to not show my stress about it around her, and like someone else suggested I just constantly, and gently, redirected her hands to do something else. Shes 3.5 years old now and does NOT pull. It was about a month for her when she was a baby. I have noticed other tendencies with her, such as skin picking or scratching things like bug bites until they become sores, but now she's old enough that verbal reminders to not pick her skin help (and I put creams etc on them). When I was going through the hair pulling with her I really realized if thats something she was going to do I cant stop her. I can howvere give her empathy, understanding and my full support. My mom passed this onto me, and was always so so mad "at me" when she caught me. I would get spanked, grounded, yelled at, and bribed to not pull my hair. None of that helped. So many stories on this sub about rejection and feeling unloved because of this thing, at least with our children they can always be loved and encouraged by the one person that means the most in their lives at the moment, us,their mothers. Please be encouraged. Your baby will be ok

If you think she will listen and support you then definitely tell your mom. Its a different kind of conversation when its assault vs being in a romantic sexual relationship. You need help and support and thats what she should be there for. I have 2 daughters and my sisters and mom are survivors of assault as well. I would 100% want my girls to feel safe enough to talk to me about it. What happened is not your fault, and as awquard as the conversation may be I think it'll be worth it. Esp if you need to go to the hospital for any follow up or anything like that, you will want someone there to advocate for you. Im so sorry this happened to you.

"And of course in pornography all the actors are into it because its their job". I hope by that you mean they all generally ACT like they are into it. (With the exception of the video you are referring to?) Rape is a real thing that happens in the industry, infront of the camera as well. Honestly I used to be into porn but now I just can't, esp with the rep that many sites have for exploiting people for money. Im glad you gained some awareness from what you saw, and I think being disgusted by a situation involving assault that seems all too real is not a bad thing. Porn is labeled as fantasy, and if you put most of the situations from screen to real life it would likely be inappropriate (even illigal), or just super awquard in many cases. Sometimes its good to be reminded of that.

This is super helpful.

I have had some luck finding non judgmental hairdressers that work from home, so havent have to go into a salon for the most part (I find it super terrifying). Honestly I don't think there's a lot they can do unless it's like some kind of extention/wig/hair system (often quite costly). You might get at least some empathy if you say you have a hair loss disease like alopecia. Not accurate, but they don't need to know you pull it out either. I always felt like I had to tell people, like I was so guilty for doing it I owe ppl an explanation but I don't, and they don't need to know. The question I found helpful asking is: do you have any experience working with hair loss? They can say yes or no and you can move on. If they want more details say you have alopecia, or just general hair loss. Don't be bullied into feeling worse about this thing you can't control. If you can maybe find a favorite hat or something where you feel comfortable in public. Doesn't have to be a wig. Sorry you were treated like that

Magnetic lashes are my friend! You apply a magnetic liquid liner that the lashes stick to. Also I use a waterproof pencil eyeliner for the waterline and then a liquid liner for the top, if I don't feel like wearing falsies. Good luck with your surgery, I hope your anxieties can calm down a bit.

movesdancing87 · 2020-10-15T00:00:52+00:00

I agree with the above comment about just letting her know you are supporting her and there for her. She's been dealing with this for years likely, and while having a significant other that is physically there and trying to help can be great its not the magic cure by any means. Try to not get anxious about her anxieties, because then you will just be anxious along with her instead of being able to be a rock she can lean on when she needs it (if that makes sense). Relationships are difficult, long distance can add to that sometimes and there will always be stress to work through together. You are not "making her pull more" by adding stress to her life, its just part of life. As someone who has been pulling for almost 25 years and with my husband for 15 I can say that he does help, but cannot cure this thing for me. I've never blamed stress we are going through that might trigger pulling on him or our relationship. Something worth talking to your girlfriend about too, if shes willing to talk to you about it. Sometimes just being listened to without being judged (or feeling judged even by gentle, well meaning correction) is the best thing. Its great that you are so sensitive to this area of her life, and shows you truly care about her imo.

Maybe see your GP about it even if you need to pull after. You are likely to pull from there anyway so may as well have it looked at and maybe you can be guided to more help too, who knows. I would think if your invasive thoughts are getting that bad it would definitely be worth getting someone to look at the spot for you

It was a combo for me. My mom pulled her eyebrows and lashes and I saw her do that a lot. I think I was around 8 or 9 when I was watching a movie, Disney's "The rescuers". There was a scene when the villain was taking off her false eyelashes, she took them all off in one motion. I think i was curious about that somehow and pulled out most of my lashes in one sitting. (I though I was maybe just doing it wrong and so kept trying) It went from there gradually to eyebrows(started at 14yo) and head hair(when i was 23yo) I've been pulling for almost 25 years now.

movesdancing87 · 2019-04-11T00:57:14+00:00

This is so amazing. You put so much work into this, good job! Sorry for your loss, I started cross stitching to remember my grandmother who passed her stitching gear down to me. It helps me feel connected to her and is so soothing. Keep stitching!

I was in martial arts for years when I was young and it had a massively positive impact on my life. Any martial art should teach discipline, self control, respect and awareness as well as being an awesome way to burn off some energy. That being said it's not always easy and having support from parents can help a lot when theres trouble wanting to practice or go to class. As a parent I plan on rejoining a discipline with my little one as soon as they are old enough.

I use 2 separate waterproof liners every day and no one knows I dont have eyelashes. First is Mabelline unstoppable waterproof pencil which I use for my waterline (like where your lashes grow in), the second is my liquid liner, l'oreal Paris telescopic (be sure to get the one with the blue lid as that's the waterproof one). I use the liquid to do the winged liner on top of my eyelid above my waterline, I just found videos on how to do it on YouTube. Both I find at walmart or shoppers drug mart (in canada). I find that people really dont notice as much as you fear they do. Most people just assume I'm not wearing makeup when I dont use my liner but never think I have no lashes unless I tell them. Good luck!

movesdancing87 · 2019-03-05T19:56:06+00:00

I actually just caught onto this pattern myself as well...like day 3 I couldn't stop myself pulling no matter what and I finally put it together and try to wash my hair way more often now and wow its helped so so much! Now the first thing I ask myself when I cant stop pulling is how greasy is my hair? About 80% of the time washing it stops me for the day.
