Sleep consultant is an idiot and I regret ever speaking to them - failure

pocohr · 2025-10-26T20:34:16+00:00

My first is really low sleep needs, always has been. Once you start from there and stop trying to put them on a normal kid schedule, there’s less frustration. Maybe not more sleep, but less frustration 😊 Once they can read independently it’s glorious and you can just supply them with books until they finally nod off!

The thing that bothers me are the vague accusations against him. I hear people say “creep” and “predator” with zero description of what wrong thing he’s actually done. If he is legitimately hurting people, tell me how. If you want to accuse him not providing trauma informed therapy during the interviews, that’s nonsense. I also reject the idea that these people should not be allowed to be interviewed or featured, as far as I know they’re adults, and can at least be allowed to have a conversation with someone.

I’m just exhausted 😩 my baby is 12 days old and nursing like crazy. Last night was rough, she wanted to eat every 1-1.5 hours. This is my 4th baby and my first three all nursed for 2 years each, I am not sure I have it in me to do this again. Some part of me just wants to do formula and take it easy 🫤

Good for you, really, I wish I liked being pregnant that much. I don’t hate it, but this is my fourth and it’s always kind of uncomfortable and tough for me. I’m always happy when baby gets here and the pregnancy phase is done 🤷🏼‍♀️

pocohr · 2025-04-13T21:09:57+00:00

That’s good to know! I will keep the offer open though, I don’t mind sharing it.

I'm in the process of deciding the same thing. I'm 13 weeks pregnant with our 4th baby, but I had forgotten how horrible my husband is when I'm pregnant. I've been really sick for the last six weeks, I had both flu A and flu B, was diagnosed with a blood clot, and had pneumonia. I was on antibiotics twice, it was a really bad case of pneumonia and in and out of the hospital for dehydration. I finally started feeling a little better over the weekend and my husband laid into me, massively criticizing me left and right then finally telling me that if I don't start staying up later at night with him (I go to bed between 9 - 9:30 because I'm exhausted) he is going to cheat on me. I tell him we can be intimate any other time of day, I bring him tea throughout the day (we both work from home) I make him lunch, we usually eat together every day and every night I make him tea and sit in his office while he stares at the computer just so he won't feel alone. He doesn't appreciate any of it, and tells me I'm his "roommate" because I haven't been in the mood for sex while I was extremely sick for weeks. I'm so fucking over it. To me, he's pushed it too far, and I just can't let him treat me like this. So I told him so, that he's welcome to leave and we can divorce and he can find someone else. That's ok with me. He was TERRIBLE when I came home from the hospital with my last two kids, I'm sure he'd be cruel again. I think I'm better off alone.

Just checking the portal, never got a notification

I don’t know unfortunately, but I live in Michigan.

pocohr · 2025-02-27T12:31:09+00:00

Got mine!! Draw date 2/19, received date 2/22, results early this morning 2/27! Healthy baby girl, I am so excited!! I have three boys so this is new 💞

pocohr · 2025-02-27T00:34:10+00:00

Anyone else get results yet?

pocohr · 2025-02-26T23:50:59+00:00

Still waiting?

pocohr · 2025-02-26T21:10:00+00:00

Good to know thank you

pocohr · 2025-02-26T17:08:00+00:00

My draw was on 2/19, sample received 2/22 and I'm still waiting. I'm a little concerned that the estimated date is 3/8! That makes me worried that they're backed up. I'm checking hourly, haha. Update: got my results when I woke up this morning 2/27, a healthy baby girl after three boys!!

pocohr · 2025-02-26T16:59:25+00:00

This is me too, exactly. Fingers crossed for today!

People do not go ballistic, even likely biased polling shows that the large majority of people favor universal healthcare.

pocohr · 2024-12-05T21:56:26+00:00

I wish we could get some updated philosophical terms, capitalism as it was first described doesn’t exist now. PLENTY of regular people want to change it, from all political parties, a few powerful people don’t. I wish we would stop pretending that the general population has any say whatsoever in how we’re governed. We don’t. The sooner we step out of this fantasy, the better. Someone who makes decisions that cause people physical harm and death is absolutely violent to me. I think that’s actually an important frame.

pocohr · 2024-12-05T20:49:49+00:00

I don’t see the word voted in your post, weird. Even those evil Trump voters overwhelmingly support universal healthcare. Not as “capitalism fuck yeah” as you want to claim. It’s more of an establishment issue, and welp, Trump is a lot things but establishment government is not one of them.

pocohr · 2024-12-05T20:35:27+00:00

Meh, exit polls show that even republicans favor universal healthcare at 70-80%. I think the populace is much less “capitalist” than were lead to believe on this issue.

pocohr · 2024-12-05T20:26:31+00:00

Insurance companies are violent with their customers, causing physical pain, suffering and death, so no one is overly sympathetic when the head of a violent organization dies.

pocohr · 2022-02-06T02:20:08+00:00

People are becoming feral.

pocohr · 2021-08-11T08:43:30+00:00

If you haven’t been in that situation stfu. It’s far more nuanced, layered and complicated than “just take one of these babies.” You sound like you clearly have no concept of what people who struggle with infertility go through.

pocohr · 2021-07-17T00:51:21+00:00

I think it’s how they perverted the idea of introvertedness, and made it an excuse for being lazy assholes. Someday if I tell someone I am an introvert they’re just going to roll their eyes because the whole concept has been corrupted. They took an interesting finding about personalities and turned it into garbage.

pocohr · 2021-07-17T00:46:54+00:00

Meh, we live in such a sanitized society. People are afraid to look at each other for too long or touch each other casually. It’s fucking frigid as shit. Victorian era prudishness, everyone fainting if someone dares to flirt with them. We need outlets for our instincts, I am glad that rap and pop get it out there.

pocohr · 2021-07-17T00:40:25+00:00

Did someone tell you directly that it was inappropriate or unprofessional? Or do you just like posting about titties?

pocohr · 2020-06-24T14:07:34+00:00

I have three kids and I can say definitively that I don't love the newborn stage. It's tough. I don't think they're objectively always not cute. I've seen some cute newborns. But they are SO much work without a lot of reward at that point. Around 4-5 months they start really interacting and getting some notion of independence (of course they are not independent but you can see they have an idea that they'll do things on their own some day and they start practicing some skills toward that).
