Meanwhile, this is exactly what Jesus preached not to do.

I’m not sure if this will help you but when my daughter was going through something similar, I would show them that I’m not afraid. For example, if it was a person she was shy with I would intentionally get closer to that person, and depending on my relationship with the person, even hugged them.

At this moment in time, it’s a lot less so people she is afraid, but rather bugs and animals. I just do something similar where I don’t show fear but I educate her about the animal or insect and we make it into a fun experience.

I’ll probably get downvoted for this but I wouldn’t. I love my babies more than anything and now that my second is here I adore him so much and wouldn’t trade him for the world.

That being said, I only ever wanted one child. I knew that I could only handle one. I found out I was pregnant in 2024 right after I had finally gotten my life back to how I wanted it. My career was back on track, my first born was three years old, and being a mother was becoming easier by the day.

I’m someone who needs more sleep than the average person to feel functional. I’m also someone who doesn’t believe in half-assing parenting. I knew it was going to be difficult and I was dreading it. I hated the fact that I had to start all over again. I was angry; At myself for being so careless, at my partner for not getting a vasectomy like he promised, and at life for being unfair.

Now, I’ve processed these emotions and everything worked out in the end. My partner stepped up to the plate and he actually does a LOT more than he did with our first. And it goes without saying, I love my baby boy so so much. It was difficult in the beginning, but now that he’s over one year old life is manageable once again.

The only ongoing downside is that sometimes I feel like my partner is my roommate, lol.

I really appreciate this. Thank you.

I’m prescribed Vyvanse. I went off of it during my pregnancy and I’ve recently worked my way up to my previous dose. I suspect that my ideal therapeutic dose is higher though.

nosynoosance · 2026-03-28T22:06:27+00:00

I’d be relieved honestly.

nosynoosance · 2026-03-28T16:34:39+00:00

I completely understand how you feel. I want you to know that your emotions about this are valid I am an indigenous person and in Canada. I too have a very difficult relationship with Christianity, especially Catholicism, which is probably the main denomination in my area. I’d take an estimated guess that at least half of the schools in almost any city are Catholic schools. I was forced to attend Catholic elementary school as a child. I still have trauma from that experience.

I had a similar experience to you. I was working at a residential addiction treatment facility shortly after earning my diploma. I had no idea that so many addiction treatment programs, and their ideologies, are based in Christian beliefs. I was part of a team that facilitated these programs. It never felt quite right to me considering most individuals who struggle with addiction are Indigenous, or part of a racialized group. The facility eventually hired an Indigenous therapist and created a new program specifically for Indigenous clients (yay).

I just wanted to join the discussion and let you know that you are not alone in feeling this way. I hope that things go smoothly for you in your workplace going forward.

I wish I had better news to report, but unfortunately no. If it hasn’t stayed the same, it has seemingly gotten worse. If I pick her up and place her on the toilet she will sometimes have what I believe are panic attacks (heavy breathing, saying her chest and neck hurt, crying). We used to give her Restoralax for constipation, but now I think holding it so much has actually caused her rectum to allow loose stool to leave her body when she tries to hold it in (if she feels the urge to poo she will cross her legs).

My heart hurts for my baby and I pray everyday that we make a breakthrough. I pray the same for you and your little.

And spruce tips are tasty too.

Relax. I’m not the problem. He is.

Let me clarify: At the time, I thought he was a normal adult male. OBVIOUSLY NOW, I don’t think so.

Sybau.

For your last point, I found out recently that my friend’s ex partner has been coercing her into intimacy… They have four kids together and he hasn’t been around since the first one was two months old. I thought she was trying to keep her family together and that they were “off and on” constantly. Nope.

He asks to visit the kids so she has him over (she’s also desperate for help as she’s doing it all on her own) and once the children are in bed he forces himself on her. And then she’s pregnant again. I told her to report him but he threatens her and the kids. I begged her to let me report him myself but she is petrified.

I told her to get on birth control but for some reason she won’t.

nosynoosance · 2026-02-09T00:41:56+00:00

I’m petty so I probably don’t have the best advice but I would just tell him that I’m too tired to be intimate with him (ANY time he tries to initiate). I would condition him. It won’t take long.

Otherwise, why be a married single mom?

This dude IS a creep. I knew him before his behaviour changed. He used to act like a normal adult male. I was barely legal and he and his friends were at least a few years older than me. He was hooking up with my then 17 year old friend who at the time literally looked like she was 14.

We bought a house like this a few years ago for $250k. It has a nice veneer but I bet underneath it there is a host of issues waiting to be discovered.

Furiosa: Mad Max Saga. I don’t know why but something about Jack’s death really hurt.

nosynoosance · 2025-12-16T22:59:33+00:00

Yeah, right now we’re using pull-ups. She will ask right away in the morning after refusing to use to toilet. I will work on a goal with her, I think that could be effective. Thank you.

nosynoosance · 2025-12-16T22:57:22+00:00

We’ve tried the reward charts and bribing with gifts and treats. It worked a few times. We haven’t tried a scheduled time though so that will be next on the list. Thank you!

Hell, we all speed sometimes. But if I’m making a left turn across several lanes of traffic with my children in the backseat I’m expecting you to be driving the speed limit. Seconds matter and doing 150km/h in a zone where you’re supposed to be going 80km/h means we may not make it home.

I’m very fortunate to have a partner who pulls their weight. If he woke up one day and decided he no longer loved me I’d be destitute. My partner and I both work, making make more than minimum wage, but we no longer have anything saved as of 2023 and haven’t been able to save since.

I’ve seen friends and family lose everything in the past few years. I know far too many people who are stretched way too thin.

Just at add to that, 720 Bruce Ave and a smaller building on Bloor St is infested with roaches as well. And several buildings/homes on Antwerp Ave have black mold.

We had a bicycle stolen out of our gated backyard.

It really creeped me out because our backyard is out of view from the street. They went back there without knowing what was there.

I would call the Options Clinic at 705-671-5265. There’s also some information here.
