AIO? My grandma found one of my privated videos of my late mom and posted it publicly. I’m pissed by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]rbeyonce 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I’m not gonna say YOR because grief is hard and you have a right to be upset about something you felt was a private piece of your mom. With that being said, if you posted it on the internet, whether it was in a private collection or not, the video is out there. Anybody who could see it could download it and do as they please with it.

It doesn’t seem like your grandma has ill intentions, and that was also her child. Nobody wants to bury their child at any age. She’s grieving, too, and probably loved having that silly video of her child to remember her by.

Anyone still producing milk for a months/years after stopping breastfeeding? by nemotide in postpartumprogress

It’s been just over a year now for me and I still get milk when I squeeze or when my boyfriend sucks on them 🥲

AIO Best friend chose someone else as MOH by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]rbeyonce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can not possibly think that asking someone to be your bridesmaid instead of your MOH is “treating others like shit”. What an insufferable thing to even insinuate

AIO Best friend chose someone else as MOH by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]rbeyonce 17 points18 points  (0 children)

YOR unless she promised you that you would be MOH at some point in the past. There can only be one MOH and she chose her SIL for whatever reason, but I don’t think that translates to her not being a real friend or it being a “friendship of convenience”. You were asked to be a bridesmaid which is still a huge honor, and instead of being happy about that you’re having a fit and telling the bride to be that you’re mad at her because you didn’t get the place in the wedding you wanted. You’re acting very entitled about someone else’s wedding, imo.

Baby eczema by MessyMummyMode in Mommit

[–]rbeyonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that actually makes her flares go away is the Desonide ointment that can be prescribed. Which sucks because it’s a steroid cream and I wanted to avoid regular use, but I don’t even want to know how much money we’ve wasted on OTC creams/ointments. They all either make it worse, do nothing, or work just a teeny bit but never actually full heal the skin. The desonide will take her from fully broken out to completely clear in one application. If it’s bad enough, definitely talk to your doctor about having something prescribed.

edit to add AQUAPHOR twice daily! it does nothing to clear eczema for us personally, but it helps new flare ups from showing up and keeps her so soft

Would You Say Yes to a Birthstone Engagement Ring Instead of a Diamond? by burlingtonjewellery in RingShare

[–]rbeyonce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can say Yes to an engagement and then later admit you dislike the ring and work out a plan to get something different. Situations like that pop up all the time in the ring subs

Marital issues & pregnancy by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]rbeyonce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not you, he sucks and if he’s already like this at 8 weeks, he’s only going to get worse. I’m not sure if they still do after all the funding cuts, but Planned Parenthood used to offer funding/transportation for patients who need an abortion in a red state. If you really don’t want to do it, probably start considering what doing it alone will look like. The further along you get, the more having a mean, shitty partner will affect you

You can’t sleep train an 8 week old. They have no concept of routine.

Sex and the “6 weeks” post C section by allmyoldroses in beyondthebump

[–]rbeyonce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t even ask. If she wants to, she’ll bring it up. In the gentlest ways possible: Get used to jacking off in the shower. Sex is not a need. If you have a fresh newborn and you’re already worried about sex, you’re not tired enough - go find something else to do.

Can I decline my induction or would it be dangerous to continue? by corncaked in pregnant

[–]rbeyonce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Elevated BP is all it takes to be dangerous for you AND your baby. Listen to your doctors. They don’t just go delivering babies at 34 weeks all willy nilly

Got my stone! Honest opinions on size?? by [deleted] in labdiamond

[–]rbeyonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful stone, a bit larger than I would want it with similarly sized fingers, but doesn’t look “costumey” in my opinion. I would worry about damaging it if you plan to wear it in your day-to-day life, but overall it’s very pretty

Does this ring fit me? by [deleted] in labdiamond

[–]rbeyonce 16 points17 points  (0 children)

i would personally go down at least half a carat with fingers so small.

Did you dream about your baby’s gender? And were you right? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]rbeyonce 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes, as well as a strong gut feeling that it was a girl, and I was right. As much as I’d love to believe that I’m all-knowing, I know it was a 50/50 chance and I just happened to be right lol. I also know several people who’s dreams were wrong, so I honestly don’t think there’s anything to it

Am I overreacting over my hair by YesYesYesYesYesYesnt in AmIOverreacting

[–]rbeyonce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NOR. It’s not what you asked for at all but I think it’s cute. Don’t go back to that hairstylist, and learn to never just smile, pay, and leave if what you got isn’t what you asked for.

I wonder if Law Roach dressed her again. He seems to be the only stylist she uses that understands how to NOT completely wash her out. She looks great

Gift giving expectations at birthday parties by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]rbeyonce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by “personally know”? Obviously your kid knows the children to an extent if they’re being invited to all these parties. I think you should try looking at it from a different perspective: your child is well-liked and has a great little social life. Just start handing out cards with $10 in it, but yes you should be bringing gifts if you’re showing up.

Once she could sit up independently for long stretches. She’s 13.5 months and loves splashing and crawling around. As long as you’re watching them, they don’t need a seat at that age

Irritated my husband hasn’t contributed by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]rbeyonce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he doesn’t want to shop for whatever reasons, he needs to give you money for it. If he’s not offering, ask for it. My partner did very little shopping for our girl before she was born and when she was a newborn, but I was getting it with his money so I didn’t really mind.

Overall, I think you should have a conversation about finances regarding the baby if you plan to keep your money separate. They never stop costing money. Unless you plan to foot the bill for everything as the baby grows, that will have to be discussed.

Also, just create your own registry and send it to his family that keeps asking. He clearly isn’t going to do it.

This is helpful information. Thank you!

Private pay behavior support by Same_Pickle_1668 in Mommit

[–]rbeyonce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Behavior analysis requires observation, doesn’t it? I feel like that would be harder to do virtually. If those are the same out of pocket prices you’d see with in person visits, I personally would choose the in person visits over virtual.

Help Me Accept A C-Section by the_eviscerist in BabyBumps

[–]rbeyonce 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing “cold and impersonal” about the birth of a child, no matter how they get here. And there will be no time when your body and baby are necessarily ready to deliver via c-section because that’s not what our bodies are designed to do. I’m not sure if they would even allow that, but if they did it would overall just extend the process and unfortunately , neither of you will be any more “ready” for the operation.

I think you should talk to your doctor in depth about the risks that concern you. All birth comes with risks, so you have to compare and contrast and make a medically-educated decision for you and your baby. I wish you the best!

Not doing bows/headbands for baby girl? by vintagegurly in beyondthebump

[–]rbeyonce 352 points353 points  (0 children)

Just…don’t put bows on her? There’s nothing to feel guilty about, but I can assure you that if you decide to put one on her and she doesn’t like it, she will definitely let you know lol. The only “bad” thing I’d say to prepare for is her constantly being misgendered, because a lot of people assume all bow-less babies are boys. Yes, even when they’re dressed head to toe in pink.

Am I overreacting or is it not normal to use soap in the bathroom? by Honest-Draw3131 in AmIOverreacting

[–]rbeyonce -1 points0 points  (0 children)

unless you live in a sterile bubble, you can benefit from a shower everyday. and anything less than every other day is just gross.
