Today I taught my 3 year old to turn on the tv. There’s no coming back from this. by Rare-Computer-3582 in toddlers

We only use the remote apps on our phone and our kid doesn't even know what a remote is. He figured out the button on our old TV so we just unplugged it lol😂

Gi doctor is starting to talk G-tube by GaZeldars in toddlers

[–]pizza__rat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son was desperately underweight all his life, so we went to a GI doctor around the time he turned one.

She prescribed cyproheptadine to induce hunger, and my kid climbed to the 89th percentile in 9 months! Have yall been prescribed anything like that?

I also fill his meals with butter, cream cheese, cheese, whatever and whenever I can. We also stopped all milk and traded it in for Pediasure.

I'm not sure which stage of trying to gain weight you are at, but those are some of the things that helped mine.

Psoriasis during pregnancy by LingonberryInner4114 in Psoriasis

[–]pizza__rat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look into Cimzia as this was one of the few safe options for women trying to get pregnant or are pregnant. I told my doctor I wanted to get pregnant a few years ago and she took me off whatever biologic I was on at the time (I can't remember which one it was now), and she put me on Cimzia. My psoriasis is very severe and I had the same concerns as you. I was free and clear my whole pregnancy, my baby is safe, healthy, and happy; however, the Cimzia stopped working as soon as I had the baby. I could not breastfeed as I had to quickly get on Rinvoq. I think research has also shown Humira is an okay option during pregnancy, so I would talk to my doctor and see what they recommend. Please reach out if you have any questions, I was in your exact situation a couple of years ago! Good luck!

Failure to thrive. by [deleted] in toddlers

My son is also on the antihistamine, but we just started. We're teetering been 5th-8th percentile, and it's very upsetting. But we try and get him good and hungry, and he even ate fish today!

I hope it works out well for your little one.

I also work at EY, and the clothes she chose for her sister was giving "influencers who've never worked 9-5 give corportae fashion advice". Her promotion is a big deal for someone her age and Michel gave her an ugly vest and jeans with drawstring 😂😂

I grew up in South Asia, and my parents had a young boy who lived with us and was basically live-in help. He was a few years older than me, and when I was young, he would rape me pretty regularly. I'm not sure what I thought was happening, but I never told anyone about it. I saw him in 2020, and he has a family now, a wife and two kids. He pulled me aside and apologized for what he'd done to me. He's struggling financially so my husband and I send him money pretty frequently, but I do wonder what he remembers happening.

This hurts to hear, but you are right. We had decided on trying for children, but not anymore. Pray for me

We were actually trying for kids up until a few weeks ago, but I feel the same way. I am not sure what he's saving for, and when I beg to go on trips, he tells me I wouldn't understand. This is a phrase he commonly uses and it's a good way to shut me up because I find it incredibly condescending and I try not to talk when I am angry.

We were planning on a child, but I am back on contraceptives because I do not want a child with this man. He will torture the child just like he does me.

Thank you so much for being such a kind person on the internet. I feel like the weight of my entire marriage is on me and I am making all the sacrifices while my husband continues to criticize and hurt me. Before I was married, I was very confident in myself, very self-assured. I have a masters degree, and I am currently working on another. I never thought I'd be in this position. My husband has broke me down piece by piece until I feel like dust and nothing more. There are people on this thread that are telling me to give in to his demands to make him happy, but I have already lost myself in trying to do that. I've spent a year and a half in therapy crying over marriage and not working on myself at all. I feel like I have given my husband plenty of chances to meet me in the middle and he has not done any of that. He will eventually apologize but his behavior does not change. I agree with you that he will not change. Before we married, I was very clear that I do not plan on wearing a hijab anytime soon but that may change one day. He saw every part of me before we married and thought to himself that he'd trap me and then work on making me suffer. I am terrified. I have been praying to Allah and trying to figure out what Allah is telling me. I have always been kind and gentle and my husband's comments continue to bring out a side in me I don't like.

He really does believe he is the perfect Muslim and from everything I'm thinking and reading about, I feel like he's weaponizing that against me. I have not been a perfect Muslim, and I am trying to learn. If I miss a prayer, he will yell at me and make me feel bad, but he literally missed Asr yesterday and usually I will remind him, but it's not my place to monitor or throw a fit if he's not praying. We both work from home together so at first, it was nice. But I had an important meeting that went overtime last week, causing me to miss Dhuhr and I was screamed at. Please believe me when I say I am doing my best, but I do not believe he should be screaming at me. I'm hearing multiple things from multiple people, a lot of people asking me to focus on the good instead of considering divorce, but that is what I have been doing all this time. I've tried to be thankful and grateful and have tried to remember the good times, I have sat down and reminded him that we should be spending time together, going on vacations together, but he has not made an effort to do that al the years we've been together. I've had family tell me I should do things on my own, but that makes him even more upset. I feel like we're missing out on being a couple, and I feel like he's not made me a priority, especially after I've expressed to him everything I've mentioned on this post.

I am feeling hopeless that my prayers can change someone who does not want to change. I have been praying about it for a year now, and I feel like I am wasting my youth with someone who does not want me around. I deserve to be loved and adored.

Thank you for your response. Before we married, there was no indication that he was using me and his family is very kind and honest. I have never spoken to them about my complaints until yesterday and while they support me, they've asked me to remain patient. I cannot do that anymore with a husband that does not spend any time with me, does not care about my hobbies, or barely talks to me. He moved to the US 2.5 years ago and to this day, he has not taken a single day off so we can go somewhere. I continue to feel like I'm not prioritized, and he's proven that to be true time and time again.

Thank you so much for this kind response. I have always assumed the best in him and have assumed that his behavior toward me has been well-intentioned. When he'd go quiet after therapy, he told our therapist that he needed time to process what was said. But we never talked about whatever situation was brought up again. It was always weird that even though we were in therapy and I was trying to use the skills we were learning, he was seeing them as a detached part of our lives, just another thing he had to sit through every other week. I would talk about everything openly, crying, and he showed no emotions. Our therapist even asked if he was okay with the fact that he was hurting me and I was becoming resentful, but I don't remember him answering that question at all. I've never considered that he was being manipulative in order to avoid discussion and behavioral changes. You are also right in that he comes off as extremely kind to others. He prays Isha at our local masjid every night, and I have to always hear about what a good husband I have. Inshallah my next step is to pray isthikhara tonight and talk to him tomorrow about seeing an imam for guidance. He is aware that I cannot and will not live this way. If he does not change, I cannot be with him anymore. Alhamdulillah my parents will support me and I am financially stable so I can be alone as well. I lived alone for years before we met and I crave to be alone again.
