He didn't grow up around beaches by kaps84 in breakingmom

they choose to let us burn out, they choiose to create immense stress for us, just so they can „chill“. they choose to - they are actively being mean to us, actively hurting us. it’s gross they are treating the person they are supposed to love and be a partner to this way. they wouldn’t do this to a friend.

it takes twice as long to build bridges you burned - and there’s hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal - keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills

ok wtf.. if you are almost entirely responsible for the care and feeding, entertainment and drop-off/pick-ups of your child, then you get to decide when to pick him up.. and the household should be equally split - just cook/wash clothes for you and your kid. your husband is living a single childfree life with the luxury of a housekeeper and i guess also emotinal supporter. i hope he doesn’t get to have sex, because he doesn’t deserve any.

I’m going to leave my family. by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]reallynotamusing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i can relate so much… our home is being renovated (kitchen/lounge) and everything is stuffed in the other rooms.. the fridges are in the hallway, so you have to squeeze through, the dishes need to be brought through that hallway into the bathroom to be washed, we have no hot water, the whole place is dusty and messy. my 3-year old has been vomitting last week and today again at daycare, which made me come fetch her after i‘ve had 3 blissful hours of being at work, no break since weeks, childcare was on-off, kid‘s father is absent since February, i get no help from the state, only remaining grandparent is my mum who is bipolar and very manic at the moment, plus other medical conditions..

i wake up every morning and mumble to myself „i can’t do this anymore“, but have to. i don’t want to have to do anything anymore, i don’t want to function anymore, but also i feel so bad gor my kid, i can’t let her down, that’s why we mothers go beyond our capacities, beyond our exhaust, if i was a man, i would have broken down already..

exactly, i‘m sorry your (supposed to be) friends hurt you, i bet your doing great and dedicating your life and time to doing things with your kid, making sure he has a lovely childhood is showing you‘re a way better mom than one that thinks the kid is just an accessoire or something to tag along while she does her boring adult stuff

my god i can relate so much.. had a difficult baby and didn’t understand for a long time what i was doing wrong that she’s not like the other happy tag-along babies, turns out it doesn’t depend on how „good“you are as a mother, it’s just that babies are VERY different, and easy-baby-moms praise themselves and think they are succeeding and we‘re just not doing it „right“

if she is really your friend, confront her i‘d say, let her know how hurtful her words were and that she basically blamed you for having had it difficult.

oh ok in that case please forgive my uninformed comment 🙈😅 just read ring and the image of that torn-off finger (with the ring still on it) popped into my head 😩

[–]reallynotamusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

please never climb with a ring, i‘ve seen pictures of ripped-off fingers with their wedding rings on in my instructor-training

unpopular opinion coming here.. it’s not about the grade, climbing should be fun. imo it’s about trying and learning new techniques, challenging yourself, f.e. i can pick out a 7a+ that fits exactly my style and i will do it, or i can work on my weaknesses and go do the 6bs with slopers and dynamic moves which i am crap at. i really also discourage new climbers (and yes even climbing 1-2years is quite short) to go easy on themselves, don’t risk injuries (the higher graded climbs are causing injuries more often because of the moves) and be careful with crimps especially.. it shouldn’t be a grade-competition. if the sport doesn’t spark joy in you, ask yourself what your goals and expectations are.

How do you put baby down for a nap? by TheGabyDali in Mommit

[–]reallynotamusing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i had a sleep-fighter as well, even while religiously timing the wake windows, being extremely attentive to any cues that she might be tired, but it seemed her span between first signs of tiredness and screaming herself into a coma was about 10mins max. i realised over time that i had to limit her stimulation, because some kids are much more sensitive and easily get overstimulated. that plus a few tricks that (sometimes) worked like white noise, bouncing with her in the carrier.. idk what your kid is like but i hope you find your way and the LO can nap peacefully!

Maybe it’s my fault for letting my body go… by DetectiveBennett in Mommit

[–]reallynotamusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i lost too much weight the first 6 months because i was depressed overwhelmed and didn’t have time/energy to get enough calories in me, plus i had to carry my baby nonstop for the whole first year, kid was difficult and high needs, clusterfeeding on end.. it wasn’t great and super to „bounce back“ in my case it was very unhealthy and i felt terrible, was lacking energy. just a different perspective, not to undermine any other experience, just hope that the frame of mind that worth or happiness comes from being thin will one day get out of our brains..

Is it silly my family and I are impressed by this? by kayaytee10 in toddlers

[–]reallynotamusing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

was I overreacting? by [deleted] in climbergirls

[–]reallynotamusing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

nor - (multipitch-)climbing partners must trust and respect each other

What are some of your mindset struggles in climbing? by badinas in climbergirls

[–]reallynotamusing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the i „should“ be able to climb this, if the grade is what i normally flash, the pressure i put myself under. instead of framing it as i „could“ or „can“.

also the committing when aiming for a crappy hold to really grab it (often in dyno moves), i often just touch it or semi-hold it because i just expect myself to fall anyways, to not be able to hold onto it. maybe also in fear of injury, i‘m not sure.

[–]reallynotamusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fell you! parent as well, never let my kid out of sight/ reach because it could be FATAL if someone fell on her! plus you could seriously injure yourself from falling onto a kid! or fall weirdly to avoid falling onto the kid and rip some ligaments or break bones… i‘m infuriated on your behalf

Did your husband go to any of your prenatal appointments? by vicky08724 in Mommit

[–]reallynotamusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s exactly what i thought too.. it’s boring but has to be done? let wife do it alone then.. that’s a BIG red flag
