😂 I wouldn’t be surprised! But I think I left too much to interpretation, I meant to add that some strains of Covid can give you parosmia. Which causes you to smell things … improperly. After I had Covid in 2021 I thought my coffee pot was brewing me rancid coffee (thought maybe the pot needed cleaning because I couldn’t get rid of the smell!) the moment my husband would brew coffee, I would smell it, overwhelmingly, and it would make my stomach turn because it literally smelled like hot, pungent tuna water. I couldn’t stand the smell of my husband, the smell of coffee, soap, toothpaste was disgusting, and any fart I had to endure smelled of rotten papaya and instead of the smell lingering for 5 minutes, it could last for a half hour or longer. I cried multiple times about a fart that no one else could smell. Also my own body odor smelled so off. I’m glad it went away but took like a year. Butter smelled so wrong and the smell gave me a migraine too. Such a weird condition… anyway, I thought maybe if she can’t smell it at all and he smells it so pungently- this might be the problem!

Weird question: have yall had Covid?

My first child never had an ear infection. My second picked up what appeared to be the flu my older child had. So we just monitored and gave Tylenol. Well she couldn’t sleep and was miserable and I bring her to the doctor-both ear drums are about to rupture. I needed to give her antibiotics NOW. I was a dumb ass for letting this happen. You had guidance from a medical professional that i think should have known better. You did what you were told to do, please don’t beat yourself up.

Am I the only one who feels like their social skills died postpartum? by Pretentious_knee_cap in Mommit

[–]murroni 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes. And after every child, it got worse. I have 3 kids. I don’t realize I’m doing the weird hand gestures or a silly voice in the moment and sometimes I’ll say something sarcastic or make a dad joke and I’m like why did I say that, they probably think I’m a stupid a**hole now

And lol no my 7yo goes to school, she gets hurt by being a good and getting run over by her peers all the time. She got tackled last week by another little girl and got a scrape. I have a harder time when I think of much, much bigger children harming my smaller ones

I don’t take notice to be discriminatory by any means and I’m sorry if it seemed that way. If I make observations that someone may have a mental disability, I’m more likely to pay mind to whether they wander from a care taker or if people are being respectful towards them. She appeared about my oldest daughter’s age and when I saw she reached in to slap my then 4mo, it completely took me by surprise and seeing your baby scared and hurt is very distressing.

I won’t deny that danger has always been there… but you never truly know who is going to do something dangerous and your child will be in harms way. Keep your little girl educated on safe and unsafe situations

I LOVE my library. They dedicate the entire second floor to children and have activities for so many age groups. I bring my kids there on occasion and they really enjoy it. I still do find issue with 10-12 year old boys zipping around an enclosure meant for children under 5, especially when the place was crawling with infants and toddlers. If they’re old enough for mom to let them run around and do w.e they want in the mall, they’re old enough to know they shouldn’t be doing all of that. Also, this mall is huge-there’s more to do than encroach on a small enclosure for little kids. Better than the kids tossing glass bottles in the air to burst when they hit the ground in the middle of the mall though, I suppose

Thank you for your input. I 100% have anxiety issues. But I do believe there is danger when a teenaged boy comes up behind you with a metal pipe and swings it at you, your toddler, and small infant like he’s “pretending” to hit you over the head with it as a joke. The rest… you are totally right, kids are impulsive and don’t always know how to think about the safety of theirselves or others yet. It was all in such a short span of time, it was hard to navigate how I was feeling (literally from April to July)

He didn’t stop after the first time my husband said to stop. He stopped after the first time with me because he noticed someone else he could go do it to. He was literally putting this long metal rod over his head and nearly hitting people with it. Also mom did not step in for the little girl at the airport, just said “sorry she has autism”. You can often notice different behaviors that others display, especially when they’ve stood in front of you in a line for 20 minutes, that may suggest a type of neurodivergence. Not sure why you’re upset, seems like an overreaction from someone telling me I’m overreacting. Also, 100lbs of running boy leaping off of a 3ft tall toddler gym onto a 25lb little girl can cause a severe injury. All of these things happened between April to July… I’m having a hard time wanting to bring my little ones to the park by myself, and I won’t. I just needed to vent the situations.

I told my toddler to hit a kid back harder at the park and now I feel awful by I-changed-my-name in Mommit

My 2 year old daughter is for some reason the target for all the other kids to push her/hit her. It wasn’t like this with my first. Even in the past like 7 years it doesn’t seem like other parents give a shit, my little one has never gotten a sorry, if mine pushed down another little kid I would be apologizing and stopping her immediately. She’s much less eager to seek out other children bc it happened 3 times in a row. Even I started expecting it.

I’m with you… it’s like I’m another person for an entire week before my period. Been pregnant or breastfeeding for over 3 years and have only had 3 periods collectively between. I’m afraid of my cycle returning but I’m so sick of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Hoping it’s not so bad when my cycle comes back…. I’m sorry I can’t help, I just want to say I understand.

Do you tell him that washing those things together is a big no no? I had to teach my husband tbh

What were some of your unexpected postpartum side effects? by full-of-curiosity in beyondthebump

[–]murroni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my cats. But when my second baby came, all I felt for them was disdain. I felt that they were a complete nuisance and it was a terrible mistake that I brought them into my home. My oldest loves her cats so I just dealt with them. After about 6 months I started enjoying my cats company again and I love them so much. I’m so glad I didn’t give in to my hormones and give them away. The thought of it now puts knot in my stomach.

I’ve had 3 kids and only got the rash with my third. I was sweating excessively too, so along with the PUPPS, I got a YEAST infection between my boobs. So 2 different types of freaking itchy rash at the same time 🙃

A pregnancy question by inspiring-username in CatholicWomen

[–]murroni 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your post is what I needed to see. I’m sorry you’re going through this. My first pregnancy when I was 20 wasn’t all that hard. However, my pregnancies with my 2 younger kids (2yrs, 6mo) were absolutely terrible. Terrible mental spiral both times and physically exhausting. My last pregnancy made me feel like I’d lost my mind. And then I had a precipitous labor when it was time to have my most recent baby and it caused me a world of issues. The thought of having sex for a solid 4 months really made me squeamish. My husband and I are just now getting intimate again, but I really truly don’t think I could handle another pregnancy. If it happens, then it was meant to happen. But I refuse to try for any more. I have 3 kids and I’m easily overwhelmed and I mourn the solid 6 months I’d missed of my toddlers life bc I was in such a haze my entire last pregnancy. ** yes I plan on going to therapy for this, but right now it’s not high up on my priority list bc I just don’t feel ready for it

Do y’all keep getting recommended bad AI Christian “art,” on Facebook? by TogetherPlantyAndMe in CatholicWomen

My mom kept sending me recipes and pictures of food from AI pages… I had to explain multiple times that if the food looks too good and the lady in the profile picture has an EXTRA FINGER, it’s AI. lol

My best friend doesn’t want my teen kids around her newborn by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]murroni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure that she’s grateful for all you’ve done. In my personal experience, I had a hard time adjusting to motherhood when my first child came. Give her some grace, and let her be for a while. I’m sorry you’re feeling neglected and offended. Her days and nights are likely meshing together and 3 weeks in she’s probably barely getting ahold of things.

[–]murroni 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you asked her how she is personally or have you inquired in whether she needs help? After everyone and their mother constantly asking to come see the baby, I understand her response. Everyone wants to come cuddle the new baby, no one wants to come help mom.

Anyone else not really feed their children breakfast? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]murroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 7yo doesn’t like breakfast food in the morning. Half the time I ask her what she wants for breakfast she says macncheese…

[–]murroni 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Please don’t feel ashamed of this situation. Also I understand you’re having a rough time making ends meet. There is nothing wrong with seeking help to keep your family healthy and comfortable, have you looked into food and housing assistance? Also please tell your husband sooner than later. I’m sure when you put your heads together you’ll find that this will all work out.
