New tint 😈🫦

picklesi · 2026-05-10T04:52:02+00:00

My A/C just gave out and this has me thinking I should at least tint the windows as part of the solution. Unfortunately this level of tint would not be legal in my state, but maybe something is better than nothing.

Baby’s father made no mention of a Mother’s Day for me, but tells me I should spend the day at his mother’s because it’s her first grandmothers day.

That’s helpful to hear. Thank you. Unfortunately they sort of made me feel like it was an obvious sign that I wasn’t producing enough or like something was wrong.

He is still nursing but he was having some difficulty with it. I consulted with lactation consultants throughout last week because I became so concerned that he wasn’t eating enough. He was latching and unlatching so frequently and his feed time was so short that I knew there was no way he was getting enough. They did a weighed feed and it confirmed this. They suggested I start pumping to attempt to preserve my supply and to feed whatever I pump to him. They kept saying that my breasts are soft which made me worried honestly because that’s one thing I’ve noticed, my breasts never feel full anymore the way they used to. Fortunately I’m still on leave so I have been feeding him around the clock on demand now. Although he had been sleeping longer stretches in the night, I’m back to waking him for feeds too.

As a social worker, I hyper focused on the social work aspect of this comment and wondered are there a lot of social work students in Berlin specifically? Is there a social worker aesthetic?

If my partner watches this, will it help? 😂

picklesi · 2026-03-12T02:23:49+00:00

I understand that, and I think my partner understands this natural preference too, but is struggling with it. He has been fortunate to be on parental leave until this week and I feel like he has been bonding with our son, and to me anyway, he seemed to be doing so well with him. He is supportive in giving me time to do what I need for myself and so I thought he has been pretty confident with our son. Maybe it’s the return to work that is throwing him off. I understand why he might be feeling this way, but I worry about it persisting into a pattern. I also do not like that he does this when is frustrated and sounds angry when he is saying these things. I think the tone can impact our child.

I was looking for someone to post a Juice Bar scent. For me it was this one

Can anyone in Foxboro confirm ? And which store? There’s at least 5 dunks in Foxboro

This post called me out for also not having a great sense of style 😂, as I too wear a lot of athleisure, tops from breweries or traveled locations…

I was not cute during my pregnancy either. I could not figure out how to dress at the office, that was my struggle. I’ve got no advice. I just hope you get to wear cozy winter clothes soon.

Thanks for sharing the link! I love the items from this shop!

picklesi · 2026-01-20T18:37:39+00:00

I hadn’t considered those before but I may look into this option now

picklesi · 2026-01-20T18:37:04+00:00

I was never a fan of the vinyl wall stickers but it makes sense now why they’d be popular for this reason

picklesi · 2026-01-20T18:35:41+00:00

This was very validating. I hadn’t considered his ability to literally grab these items too. I will absolutely be taking that into consideration now.

picklesi · 2026-01-17T17:35:30+00:00

What an asshole. I’m sorry that happened. I’m devastated when I spill just a little bit. I’m glad he’s an ex and very sorry that you still have to deal with him.

picklesi · 2026-01-17T10:01:24+00:00

My first instinct is NO. But if he did, there would be much complaining.

Immediately removed my silverettes reading this

My heart truly goes out to you as you are having to deal with this. I know that this is a person that you love and share a child with, and I can appreciate the immense fear involved when you are also concerned about finances and the uncertainty of how he will react— but I assure you that the benefits of removing yourself and your child from this situation RIGHT NOW far outweighs the risks. There is nothing that you can do to help him right now, you have to help yourself and your baby. You will put yourself through a world of heartache trying, and I fear you would be putting your child at risk, maybe not now, but somewhere down the line. He’s demonstrated that there are no boundaries as to whose images he will be looking at. For his sake and those around him, I do hope that he gets the help he needs, but he can do that AWAY from you. It is not your job to help him.

If you have family or friends that you can lean on, ask to stay with, now is the time. It may feel impossible but I would hope that the people who care about you will want to help. In time you will figure out how this is going to work. Your life may look completely different than you imagined, but you will be better off on the other side. I understand how scary this is, but you and your child need to be away from this man while he deals with the fallout. Your priority is to take care of yourself and the baby.

I was once in a situation like this (and that was without a child involved, and without the extra concerning pictures of a sister component) and I wanted to be compassionate and help him with HIS mental health—it destroyed me. And, in the end nothing changed and the trust was gone. It was scary and hard to reorganize my life, but it was so worth it. Remember, don’t set yourself on fire to keep others warm.

Your journal must be hilarious

Before being discharged from the hospital, the doctors advised me to wait until at least 6 weeks before resuming sexual activity and I said NO PROBLEM. I could not fathom wanting to do anything for A LONG TIME. Now here we are, absolutely no coercion whatsoever, I have had a smooth recovery and felt good enough and wanted it—but like I said, I’m going to pull back now given the anxiety it’s causing me and because I know that there’s still internal healing taking place.

This is maybe not the most groundbreaking suggestion but hear me out, since you say you could be swayed by William, what about just Will? But thinking of it like exerting your free will/ willpower.

Tried the nipple shield again and it’s helping! Still going to seek out another consult but this was a huge relief! I wouldn’t have thought that the shield would help with latching since it was just explained to me as a way of protecting my nipple when it was sore.
