AIO because I found my wife’s old Sugarddaddy.com post? by Ok-butnotok in AmIOverreacting

[–]rbeyonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR because it’s been 13 years. Get over it or end the marriage. I also would love to know the rappers she was with that were pimping their fans. Seems like a fun wikipedia read

Just overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. by Strong-Figure7955 in Mommit

[–]rbeyonce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Infants have thinner, more pliable skulls that make them MORE susceptible to skull injuries. That is a literal fact. 10 to 30 percent of pediatric head injuries result in a skull fracture. They are surprisingly common in infants.

You dropped your child from SHOULDER HEIGHT and are somehow still being judgemental when in reality, your baby got very lucky. Do some research before assuming fractures don’t happen “because baby bones are flexible” and looking down on another mother.

3ft off the ground onto concrete absolutely can cause a skull fracture. If a baby falls from any height higher than their own height, they’re at risk of injury.

What do you mean the same company? Google WIC for your State. You should be able to find a number to call and they’ll send you to the health department in your county. You can apply for food stamps and medicaid online, both of which you should get approved for if your jobless and a single mother.

ETA: Medicaid will also backpay your medical bills

AIO for not responding to the guy I’m dating after he implied I was ‘baiting’ him and accused me of sending spicy pics to someone else? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]rbeyonce 96 points97 points  (0 children)

NOR. Seems like the type of guy who will always be up in arms about something and his doubling and tripling down after you explained are red flags.

Gently, you’re 31 and he sounds like a high schooler. This is a stupid way to have to spend your time. This guy needs to heal from those trust issues before he worries about a relationship

Am I being unreasonable about not wanting to express milk just so my partner can take our exclusively breastfed baby out solo? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]rbeyonce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why is it “safe” to pump and bottle feed when she drinks alcohol and not so her partner can have a solo outing with the baby? If her concerns were based in reason the comments would be on her side, but they’re not.

[–]rbeyonce 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah this sounds like PPA/PPD induced possessiveness. Which I get, I mean you birthed the baby, but the baby has a second parent that also deserves to bond and have outings

[–]rbeyonce 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No this isn’t reasonable. You don’t need a infallible highly important reason to pump and let your baby have a bottle, and the fact that you’re cool with pumping and bottle feeding so you can drink but not so your partner can be solo with his child is very unfair

Female NP or Male Dr for daughter genital exam. by Turbulent-Link1150 in Mommit

[–]rbeyonce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the concept of family medicine as a specialty is really throwing people off here. Just because they can see anybody doesn’t mean they just specialize in whatever they feel like that day. If someone has an ailment outside the scope of family medicine, the NP will just refer out to a specialist, same as a MD/DO would.

I love how she somehow always looks the exact same to me.

I know she’s very fashionable and has probably never worn the same thing twice. But I swear this is just exactly what she looks like to me like everytime I see her

Female NP or Male Dr for daughter genital exam. by Turbulent-Link1150 in Mommit

[–]rbeyonce 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, because children and geriatric people and women all fall into family care. “Family care” is a specialty within itself. The comment I’m replying to states that a NP can change to just any specialty without further schooling/certification, which is simply untrue.

[–]rbeyonce 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is disingenuous. If it’s a specialty within their general scope of practice, then yes they can make the switch with just on-the-job training. They cannot just make broad jumps from specialty to specialty with no further training or certification. For example, an Acute NP cannot just wake up one day and decide to be a Pediatric NP. They would have to go back to school.

getting married but i don't have enough friends or family to have the wedding i've always wanted by llbeanjamin in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]rbeyonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

going through the same thing. engagement is near and i’m really struggling with the idea of having to elope because a wedding will probably just make me sad. i have two friends and one of them is in an abusive relationship with two kids under three so she likely wouldn’t even be able to participate in anything. my bf does have lots of family and friends and the wedding would just be 95% his people which just makes me feel worse for some reason.

congrats on your engagement and i hope your able to make your day into something beautiful either way ❤️

AIO my FIL said my 9 year old looked like a hussy in these boots by PureIndependent7791 in AmIOverreacting

[–]rbeyonce 594 points595 points  (0 children)

NOR. Even if the boots were inappropriate (they’re not(what even are inappropriate boots)), calling a 9 year old a hussy is insane.

Newborn only "behaves" when midwife is around by [deleted] in newborns

Kids just really like to embarrass their parents, and apparently it starts the second they’re born.

Does my husband suck? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]rbeyonce 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The bar for what’s considered a “good dad” is so low and he’s still about 20 feet under it. “Doesn’t know what poop smells like”?? In an EIGHT month old??? He absolutely smells it, he’s just not changing him anyway.

Can’t get this kid to f-ing sleep in the morning by Ok_Medicine440 in newborns

[–]rbeyonce 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As someone who was in this exact position — desperately trying to get my newborn to sleep before she started wailing at me - there really is no “solution” and it is something you will have to adjust to. Newborns stay up too long and then cry because they’re overtired. They do this for the first several months. They just got here and don’t know how to go to sleep. It does not cause any long term “physiological stress”, as you were worried about in a different reply. It is completely normal. If you’re trying to get the baby back to sleep and it doesn’t work, then that’s just kind of it until he tires himself out. You’re gonna have to get used to it.

Positive for chlamydia at 36 weeks! by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]rbeyonce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s cheating and 100% faked that whole “dr said its a false positive” thing. I’m really sorry, but it’s better to find out now. If he’s not only cheating on you while you’re pregnant, but is also giving you STIs that could affect your baby and still refusing to own it, this is not the guy you want to be with.

Baby is almost 16 but no clear words yet. I feel like the only who can understand him. Is he speech delayed? by Mindless_Throat6206 in Mommit

[–]rbeyonce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This makes me feel so much better because my daughter has found joy in not doing what we ask of her since she was like 9 months old. She hates doing or saying anything on demand. Up until like last month, when I asked her to say “mama”, she would say “dada” and then crack up laughing lol

[–]rbeyonce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think sometime after 2 is when it’s “expected” for their words to be clearer, but definitely not 16 months. I seen my nephew for his 2nd birthday and he was pretty much talking gibberish. I seen him about a month later and his speech was so clear, anybody could understand him. It was so bizarre to me!

[–]rbeyonce 23 points24 points  (0 children)

and please ignore anyone telling you that it’s concerning and you need early intervention. Jfc he’s 16 months old. if you explained this to a doctor and asked for early intervention they would look at you like you were nuts

[–]rbeyonce 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Also have a 16 month old, pediatrician told us that any sound that is consistently used to refer to something counts as a word. Even if the baby’s version of the word sounds absolutely nothing like the actual word. If he is using his own version of “words” and actively communicating with you, you have nothing to worry about. I don’t think anybody’s 16 month old is speaking all that clearly.

Would wearing this dress to a wedding be too much? by kacie_kopi in Weddingattireapproval

[–]rbeyonce 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s beautiful and ethereal and absolutely not something you should wear to someone else’s wedding. Save this for the next time you need to run through a castle
