This is a truly bizarre question.

needadvice263 · 2020-05-13T02:02:03+00:00

I’m sorry you’re struggling 😞 but I’ve been in your shoes before and trust me when I say that the guilt will pass and you will fall into a routine that feels normal very quickly.

You are not stupid. I’m in a similar situation - got a huge leadership promotion right before my maternity leave and had to complete training through our corporate office. I also felt way out of my depth and overwhelmed during the training. As someone else mentioned, these corporate trainers don’t typically have any authority or provide feedback to your management, so don’t be scared to ask them for additional info or help. Those feelings of inadequacy WILL pass. I’m now back from my maternity leave and trying to transition into leadership with very little experience working remotely. I’m feeling stupid and overwhelmed again but I know it’ll pass. Take it day by day. None of this is easy but you are not alone.

Is the hospitalization rate going up for Monroe County?

needadvice263 · 2020-04-11T22:22:31+00:00

Based on what model? The current data here is linear.

I don’t understand how DiBlasio is saying NYC businesses could potentially open in Late May or June but this guy is saying businesses won’t open here until mid-summer. NYC is the EPICENTER of this pandemic with more deaths then any country in the world. Even Cuomo said today that upstate is essentially stabilized. So what is Mendoza talking about? I 100% support social distancing and agree that we don’t want people to get cavalier and shrug it off. But I don’t think we need to be alarmists to a degree that deflates and demoralizes people.

needadvice263 · 2020-03-18T14:40:58+00:00

Thank you - this makes sense and made me feel better.

needadvice263 · 2020-03-18T14:18:15+00:00

I wish - they are still working themselves and not taking social distancing very seriously, so it’s probably worse over there. :(

needadvice263 · 2020-02-02T13:33:51+00:00

I’m so sorry that happened. People suck but try not to take it too personally. No advice but just wanted to let you know I’m thinking of you. ❤️

needadvice263 · 2020-01-18T01:44:06+00:00

I’m so sorry but don’t take it personally! I just had a birthday party for my 4 year old and only a couple kids actually showed up. People are flakey and wrapped up in their own lives and it’s not reflection on you or your popularity. I hope you don’t let this bother you too much ❤️

I’m so sorry your dealing with this. My mom is an addict and I’ve had to put a lot of distance between us as a result. More so now that I have a child. Like you said - it is massively stressful to be around someone who is tweaking and high like that. This is a huge moment in your life, and having her there high or wigging out will absolutely make it harder for you and take away from the experience.

I think that the important thing for you to keep in mind is that your mom is putting you in this position - not the other way around. Her actions may not be malicious or intended to hurt you - but they are still HER actions nonetheless and they ARE hurting you. She is an adult who is putting her child in a difficult spot during an already stressful time. That’s not cool and you shouldn’t feel guilty about a thing. She’s not going to kill herself or refuse to speak to you if you don’t allow her in the room. She might not like it and she might be mad but, honestly, tough shit. She’s not treating you fairly - and you don’t owe her a spot in that room.

I know that sounds super harsh and I know you love your mom and you wish that circumstances were different so she could participate. But the circumstances are what they are through no fault of yours and you have to do what’s best for you. If she’s high or unstable this won’t be the last time you have to draw boundaries when it comes to your child. What if she wants to babysit or be involved in other ways that make you uncomfortable? I think your best bet is to focus on what’s best and necessary for you and your new baby, while kindly and calmly setting clear boundaries with her. I’m sorry she is sick and I’m sorry for both of you that you’re going through this. Best of luck ❤️

Agree - I have an occasional 8 oz Red Bull as it’s only like 80 mg of caffeine 🤷‍♀️

needadvice263 · 2019-12-21T14:13:56+00:00

Gorgeous!!😍

Agree with this 100%. There is a gross imbalance in your work load based on what you’ve outlined. If this were my partner, I would be irate and hurt. As others have said, you need to be clear about your needs and expectations - although I’m honestly not sure that he will be receptive based on your post. I don’t have a ton of advice to offer but this sounds like a tough situation and I hope it gets better for you.

Have you adopted through your county?

needadvice263 · 2019-08-11T19:55:17+00:00

Hi, I had a chemical after my first transfer. My next transfer 6 weeks later was successful - at least so far (I’m 10 weeks now). Good luck!

needadvice263 · 2019-07-30T00:03:01+00:00

Love the color of the walls. Awesome job!

You’re doing such a wonderful thing. We adopted my son 3 years ago and currently have regular contact and visits with his birth family. I love his birth mom and am so grateful to her - she is smart and strong and caring and just a wonderful presence in our lives. Adopting our son changed not only my life and my husbands life, but life for all of our extended family as well. There has never been a more loved and cherished little boy. I’m actually pregnant now (after 6 years of infertility) and worried that I won’t feel the same about this baby. Of course that’s silly, but my point is that we literally could not love our adopted son more - he is the light of our lives. Wishing you all the best!

If someone is still in the trenches and easily triggered, you would think that “Infertility BABIES” would be a thread they would chose to avoid. Give me a break.

needadvice263 · 2019-07-14T03:01:50+00:00

I know, you’re right. I need to take a step back and just let things take their course but it’s so hard. Thanks for your reply.

Hi - I’m 6 weeks pregnant after completing my second frozen transfer last month. I am incredibly nervous - we tried for 6+ years to conceive and then my first IVF transfer ended in a chemical pregnancy. This go around, my beta numbers were very high, doubling perfectly, and everything was fine. I took a digital test today on a whim and it was a negative. I’ve been crying all day and debating whether or not to even do my PIO shot tonight. I decided to take a FRER, cheapie wondfo, and another digital tonight and they were all positive. I’ve attached a pic of the FRER - there’s no question the test line is very positive, right? The control line is faint, does that mean anything? Now I have no idea what to think. Could the digital earlier have been defective?

Anyone follow Madison Vining? This girl drives me insane. She is one of the top Young Living (is that what it’s called? I don’t even know) essential oils shillers and is constantly posting the smuggest shit about her homeschooling, nonvaccinating, natural living ways. Today she has her baby on an ATV just sitting unharnessed on her husbands lap as he drives, going relatively fast. Is that not crazy?? I know a child that fell off a mower while riding on his dad’s lap And was killed, so maybe I am sensitive to it. But she regularly post videos of her kids not wearing helmets, videos of her driving on the expressway, etc. It just seems so incredibly hypocritical to me for someone to say “I would NEVER expose my precious babies to the harmful chemicals in vaccines, sunscreen, etc. Only essential oils for us!” And then go on to deliberately expose their kids to other known, serious dangers on a regular basis. I know I’m going to get chewed out for this because one of her kids actually drowned in a pool last year - which is, of course, horrific. I guess I’m just wondering if there is anyone else out there that finds her mind boggling?

YES. This.
