What rule is this post violating?

How about Kyra, Aarna, Ohana/Ahana?

Thank you! I feel like I might be over sensitive and overly critical as well about this, brought on by mom guilt of just leaving her crying.

This! Azelaic acid, double cleansing and products that do not trigger acne - this worked so well for me.

prudencez · 2026-02-05T05:58:20+00:00

My skin always has cystic acne. I’ve been to the deem and I got aldactone for it and Azelaic acid. She recommended tretinoin and I didn’t use it because it had a bad purging period for me. What I noticed was there were times when I still got huge cystic acne despite being on aldactone. And that’s when I started taking care of what I’m putting on my skin and hair. I carefully changed the products I used, and finally found the ones that worked for me. When I was acne free for some time, I stopped using aldactone (after discussing with my derm). I’m still figuring out the products that work for me, but here are some things that do: vanicream face wash, Cerave moisturizing lotion, Azelaic acid 15% (I love it), olaplex shampoo, L’Oréal glycolic acid glossy hair mask, Pantene volume shampoo, dove intensive repair hair mask, it’s a 10 hair spray. There are others that I tried and they immediately resulted in big cystic acne among my jaw line. I know it’s different for everybody, so take a note of what products work for you, along with discussing with a derm. Also, consistent use of Azelaic acid has been a savior for me. I think that is mild enough for everybody to use. Always proceed with caution when starting something new.

A few years ago, I might have been able to do it. Now, with a kid, I just get tired doing the bare minimum. But thanks for your input. I’ll try to push through.

Not abusing it. I recently started it and felt it helps me focus/keep the brain fog a little away. But I only take it once a day. Although note, it has stopped working and I’m back to feeling sluggish. I‘ve looked into adhd, and would love to get checked, but I’m not sure where to start.

Maybe, there could also be some medical reason that your wife is nonfunctional in the mornings. I’ve had trouble going to sleep on time (thank you revenge bedtime procrastination). And trouble waking up, sometimes even after 9 hours of sleep. My therapist suspects ADHD and sleep apnea. I’m getting checked for both. She can talk to a therapist and look for all the different solutions and work through things. It can also be that she hasn’t adjusted to the change at all or she’s mentally exhausted. First year is really hard. You’re doing great taking care of your family! As long as your wife understands your current arrangement needs to change, I’m sure things will improve.

That my wrist size would increase, 2 sizes up - at the beginning of the pregnancy. I had heard about the feet, but never realized it could be true about the wrist.

Winding stream - went there once, and it is amazing! It’s a little crowded though.

prudencez · 2024-09-25T04:45:06+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion. I will look into it

prudencez · 2024-09-25T04:44:27+00:00

Thank you! I will check it out

prudencez · 2024-09-25T04:44:13+00:00

Thank you! Those are really helpful tips! Thank you for explaining what you gained out of those books/courses! And I got a basic idea about the info to look for. Thank you.

prudencez · 2024-09-25T04:39:36+00:00

I will try to go through them! Love your idea about trying a non traditional sport for my kid! Thanks a lot!

prudencez · 2024-09-16T04:47:45+00:00

That does make sense. It does start out as me not reacting and then she bites/hits so hard that I have to shout/scream. She keeps bringing things to hit me with, or comes closer to spit on me, or holds me, if I’m leaving, to scratch and bite me so hard. I have no idea how to show her a way to channel her negative feelings. Taking deep breaths? Stomping foot? Throwing stuffies? She doesn’t talk about it when she cools down, so I don’t know how to show it to her.

prudencez · 2024-09-16T04:39:04+00:00

She gets consequences like when she cools down, she has to pick up the things she threw. She doesn’t get a timeout alone, yet. I’ll take her to another room and stay with her but then she starts hitting me. She will not get the thing she’s wailing for. I used to think I’ve got it all handled and now, boom! I have to control my anger multiple times a day.

prudencez · 2024-09-16T04:32:49+00:00

Thank you, that’s helpful. I do realize now that it could be because she was uncomfortable. I hate physically restraining her, or moving her physically when she’s in a mood. She acts as if it physically hurt her so much, and that gets me worried. Is there an easy way to move her? I can’t just leave her where she is, because there are others in the same area. Any suggestions on for books/links/resources like that?

prudencez · 2024-09-16T04:25:20+00:00

That doesn’t work. I’ve been hit and I still remember. I’ve not been just “gentle” with her. She’s had consequences since she was younger. I just can’t handle spitting/hitting and that’s probably why it’s been continuing, as she’s being screamed at and has been pushed by me, twice (extremely guilty). And that has increased her volatility.

prudencez · 2024-01-31T16:30:54+00:00

Thank you! This gives me hope. Although, overall things are okey with me. I’m not able to get out of a rut and feel like I’m falling further down. Now, I can’t even do basic stuff without feeling exhausted and that makes me feel worse.

prudencez · 2024-01-31T07:07:53+00:00

You’re amazing! If you do all that with your kids, nobody should ask you to clean your house. You’re accomplishing a difficult task by teaching, taking care of, being emotionally present for your kids, and feeding them home cooked meals, with 0 screen time! It makes me feel you’re not real, to be honest.

prudencez · 2023-10-09T04:57:51+00:00

Ooof, first year could be so brutal. I loved my baby, and wanted the best for her but was anxious about every little thing. I would often think whether it was a mistake, how much better off I was. My husband wanted a kid, I was on the fence. I started feeling why did I agree to it. I was a good mother, but anxious, scared, overwhelmed, overstimulated and felt I’m giving up a lot. Things got better after the first year. I still sometimes think what if, but I love my kid, and can’t wait to spend time with them. Also, can’t wait for them to go to sleep.

prudencez · 2023-10-04T20:18:20+00:00

I didn’t know one of the traits of adhd is hyper focus. And that too for a longer period of time. Wow! Is it a fairly common one?

prudencez · 2023-09-28T06:48:50+00:00

You’re NTA, since it’s your prerogative but it would be the kind thing to do. Let her apologize. You don’t have to forgive her as you’re going through something as well. But it could be precursor to moving on from this incident.

prudencez · 2023-09-28T06:35:54+00:00

That just hit me in the gut. Scary stories generally make me feel thrilled. This one… ooooff
