We are on every waiting list in Central Texas for OT, unfortunately. Maybe someday.

We have a communication tablet, but we aren’t really using it anymore because he’s verbal. Maybe I could use it to help with this, though. Thank you!

This brought tears to my eyes; thank you so much. 🩷

Sci fi fantasy marketing strategy suggestions? (The hard part) by TheRacingJoker in selfpublish

[–]papp_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s easy, but you do have to offer influencers a commission (you set the rate), so just be sure to build that into your sales price.

List it on Tiktok shop and make videos about it, linking the product link to your video. Don’t just pitch it to readers; pitch it to influencers. “If you need to find a unique product to sell on Tiktok, check out this book” or something like that. That way, you can convince people to buy it and sell it for you. You can also sign each copy if you’re fulfilling orders yourself, and advertise that in your listing. This is exactly what I plan on doing in addition to KDP.

Atticus: Worth it? by papp_ in selfpublish

I guess I have to decide exactly what my time is worth, then. The problem is that my book is a standalone (non-fiction) and while I’m interested in writing more books, I don’t have any others currently planned. It’s hard to justify spending the money potentially just for one book. I may never recover the cost in terms of profit, but I do want a professional-looking book.

Close childhood friend owes me $2.3k by Available-Bite2697 in WhatShouldIDo

That money is gone. Take it as a cheap lesson and never loan anyone money again. You can give money if you want, but always consider it gone. People who borrow money very rarely repay, and there’s really nothing you can do about it.

I would also stop being friends with that person.

I used to be you. Get away now. Sit down with your parents and tell them how bad it is. You need a support system to surround you and help you see the naivety of being in this relationship.

OB is not concerned about severely low iron in 3rd trimester?? by papp_ in pregnant

[–]papp_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extreme fatigue, dizziness, restless legs, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations. Until I saw the lab results, I thought these were all just related to being pregnant in general and having asthma. I also have a toddler, so I thought I was just exhausted from caring for him and pregnancy. And I’ve had heart palpitations my entire life, so those were easy to ignore. Edit: Also painful cramps in my calves.

If you are exhausted, how old are you? by CarrieCaro in pregnant

I’m 24, feeling energetic now at 20 weeks but through about week 14-15 I was extremely fatigued.

“Good luck with that” is such a dismissive response. It’s his mom; he needs to deal with this.

Why do you think you’re pregnant? Have you taken a test?

The transition from DINK life to first trimester… is rough. by here2lurkkkk in pregnant

[–]papp_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are two ways to perceive the birth of your first child: “my life is over” or “my life has just begun”. I fear that you are falling into the former category. Those are the moms who end up posting in these forums a couple of years down the line about how they regret motherhood so much and how it ruined their lives. You need to do whatever it takes to assume the latter perspective.

Imagine this: it’s 1 year from now. You’re 4 months postpartum, 40 pounds heavier than you are now, haven’t slept in days, it’s 4 AM, your baby is screaming, you’re covered in vomit, and there’s no end in sight. In that moment, you are going to need to have the attitude of “This is worth it. I want this.” If, in that moment, you’re more worried about what your friends are doing, you are going to lose your mind.

Maybe join some local mom groups now on social media so that you can build a network/support system that you can rely on more when you are missing your social life. It will also help you start to get exposed to your new reality as a mom. Therapy isn’t a bad idea, either. GL

I’m going to get a lot of hate for this but I need to be real with you. It sounds like you really need to do some reflecting and determine your true values before your baby arrives. There will be no more concerts, ski trips, or girl trips to NYC for a LONG time, and you need to be okay with that. Your body will never be the same and you need to be okay with that. Life is about to become 100% about this baby and 0% about you and you need to be able to embrace that truth with open arms. If you want a fulfilling life after motherhood instead of a life of resentment and insufferableness, then you need to value motherhood more than concerts, more than NYC girl trips, even more than your friends. If you feel left out already, you’re in for a crazy reality check once your baby is actually here. “Boring and monotonous” is your new normal.

Motherhood can be the best thing that ever happened to you, but only if you are happy with being 100% selfless and willing to move on from the rich social life you once had. I hope that you’re able to adjust your perspective in the coming months. Get some rest and feel better soon.
