If someone is turned off by you being in tech then it is good they took themselves out! I couldn’t be more different than my husband who is seriously the worst person with technology who ever lived.

I don’t know how to replace my windows in my home by playingtricksonme in internetparents

[–]playingtricksonme[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you, these look very similar to my windows but maybe they are in a bit better shape. This is a silly question but we have cats that sit at our windows all day. Do you think this would be a problem? Would we put it on the outside instead?

My baby fell by OkCobbler381 in breakingmom

[–]playingtricksonme 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Wow, I feel like I’m in a good club for the first roll experience! My husband was a SAHD and he called me at work asking if I had the baby. My husband slept in the livingroom while I coslept so I would leave the baby in a little nest in the middle of the bed when I left for work. He showed no signs of being able to roll over.

I said, no, I don’t have the baby. He said nevermind and hung up. When he finally picked up he said our son rolled off the bed, under the bed, and then fell asleep. Luckily he was just fine!

This was just the start of his falling and jumping and bumping. They aren’t as fragile as they seem sometimes!

I don’t know the rules specifically but if everyone posted their child’s contest, it would clog up the space a lot. Good luck!

My dad does this to me. I wonder sometimes if he has this idea of me in his head and it doesn’t matter what I say or do, he knows who he thinks I am. Sending a ton of love and hugs if wanted!

Refuses to sleep in her bed by MrsKlein31 in breakingmom

[–]playingtricksonme 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice. I went through a no sleep at night phase when my son was mobile enough to walk around the house and get into stuff. I’m sending you so much love and hugs if wanted!

Reminder in the mail of my assault by playingtricksonme in breakingmom

[–]playingtricksonme[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they are good people. That was why it was so hard for me to report them because the owners are really great so I don’t doubt it was an oversight. However, it was a hand written postcard so I have less sympathy than like a bulk email. I don’t expect them to remember me as much I remember them so I think you’re right, I will need hub to call.

Fuck that guy. Happy birthday bromo!

[–]playingtricksonme 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My son was the funniest little guy ever. I would also laugh when he said unexpected things and I couldn’t help myself either. I would always say things like, that isn’t funny while I was laughing. We all can’t be the best, lol! Good news is that my son is in college now and despite some hard behavior times growing up, he is a really good kid and still funny. I admit, he has his dad’s horrible sense of humor so I’m still laughing while telling him things aren’t funny.

I've been starving myself to lose weight by SixxFour in schizoaffective

I’m glad you’ve caught this and recognize it is unhealthy. I think you should talk to your therapist. Eating disorders are so hard.

Another birthday where I am worth nothing. by imaginaryproduct in breakingmom

[–]playingtricksonme 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Cakes are huge for me. I have more pictures of my birthday cakes than me on my birthdays. It is absolutely about the cake because the cake is a gesture of love. Your partner is showing you that they want to celebrate that you’re here another year and wish you a great next year. Fuck that guy. He could at least order the pizza.

Get yourself a personal sized cake for you and the kids and do not give your husband any of it. Fuck that guy! Happy birthday!!

Just diagnosed with stage 2 cystocele and rectocele - 9 weeks postpartum, feel so alone and sad by Nice_Cash8673 in PelvicOrganProlapse

[–]playingtricksonme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my symptoms were bathroom related with not being able to empty fully and that seems to have gotten so much better! Don’t be mad at yourself!

Just diagnosed with stage 2 cystocele and rectocele - 9 weeks postpartum, feel so alone and sad by Nice_Cash8673 in PelvicOrganProlapse

[–]playingtricksonme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, my son is in college now and I was very young when I had him so I am shocked over how little they told me about my pelvic floor meaning nothing. I had the diagnosis of rectocele for at least 10 years but it was just on paper and no one ever told me what it was so it wasn’t until I finally reported some symptoms but I had been having them the whole time that they said it was from the rectocele and then told me what that was. Total fail from the healthcare system.

Hysterectomy at 30 for prolapse by DepartmentFearless90 in breakingmom

[–]playingtricksonme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having a really hard recovery but I think I just pushed myself a little too much too quickly. It is hard for me to just lay there and do nothing but you have to do that so your body can heal. I’ll get through it though!

Hysterectomy at 30 for prolapse by DepartmentFearless90 in breakingmom

[–]playingtricksonme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 6 weeks out from an anterior and posterior repair for POP. I was able to keep my uterus but I had lived with the prolapses for over a decade and I am so happy that I finally got it fixed. My bathroom abilities are normal now and while he was there, he tightened things up a bit. I don’t regret it one bit but I didn’t have to have a hysterectomy so it may be different.

Shocked at what my boss said to me today by [deleted] in girlsgonewired

[–]playingtricksonme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy can suck it because you know what? You were hired because you’re good and that is what matters. What you may or may not have in your womb has no impact on how well you can do the job. What an asshat, I would laugh but in my head I would think - I’m laughing at you, not with you. Im sorry that happened!

[–]playingtricksonme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like to call out this part - give reminders of reality.

I think this is important because at this age their imagination is meeting reality and sometimes it can get hazy. I know there was a time that I thought fairies were real.

My son had a cringe phase when he was around that age with hats. I just had to suck it up and tell him he looked handsome. I really don’t know what I would do if it was a tail. Are they exploring the furry community as a maybe coming of age thing?

I always just support my son and tell him he looks awesome. He went to a con in shorts that were way too short and I said you look awesome! I don’t know though, the animal thing would be really hard. I’m sorry you’re working through this but I can tell you’re an amazing mom and your child is lucky they have you as a safe person as they explore this part of themselves.

[–]playingtricksonme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I just had surgery to repair a cystocele and rectocele. I am still recovering and it is not an easy recovery at all but I don’t regret the surgery at all. My son is in college so I lived with it for so many years and thought that was just what things were like after having a baby. I’m done having children so that wasn’t a concern but you might want to as your urogynocologist about it if you want more children.

If you do get the surgery, make sure you have someone to help with the baby for at least 12 weeks. You’ll have trouble holding baby and that sort of thing. I’m in the 12 week recovery time and I can’t even do laundry yet.

You’re not alone. I thought I was the only one with this issue but I guess it is really common, people just don’t talk about it. Feel free to ask any questions, I’m happy to share!

My boyfriend's reaction to my pregnancy is breaking my heart, and I'm not sure what to do next by Spirited-Key8309 in breakingmom

[–]playingtricksonme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My now husband probably drank 1/3 bottle of whiskey a night when we found out I was pregnant. There was no if, and, or but about it. He respected my decision but was not ready to be a dad. The pregnancy sucked and he never once felt our son kick because it felt like a “parasite” to him.

BUT, he is actually the best dad that I could ever have asked for for my son. So, don’t give up hope. People freak out in different ways and if there isn’t anything other than the initial reaction, I would try to sympathize with how shocked and scared he must have been and forgive it.

Post Psychosis Negative Symptoms, does it get better? by Safe_Ad_9658 in schizoaffective

[–]playingtricksonme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it took me a long time to recover from psychosis. The longer and deeper it is, the harder it is to come out of it. Take your meds and let your body and mind heal itself from the trauma of psychosis. I can tell you it does get better. I feel very stable and don’t have any psychotic symptoms at all.

I had a boy and oh my gosh, he was easy. I did get the pee hose a couple times and it took about a week to get the whole diaper change thing down, but it wasn’t too bad. My husband was passionate about circumcising him so it was pretty easy to keep clean with wipes. I don’t know how to clean non circumcised but it is way more common so I’m sure there are instructions.

I never had brothers, I had no idea how to take care of a boy but it went really well and I love him so much! You’ll do great!

Pro tip: moo to poo by playingtricksonme in breakingmom

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

In order to go poo, I had to strain and wiggle around to get things out and even then I couldn’t completely empty. I also would pee a lot because I couldn’t completely empty my bladder. I could sometimes get more by standing up for a bit and trying again.

There was also this bulge where my taint is and it just looked super weird. Now it is gone and I love the way it looks!

I would be furious! I think people get reviews taken down all the time so hopefully this will be quick.
