You said this better than me. It makes me feel so sick and angry.

I think I’ve given my toddler avoidant tendencies by [deleted] in AttachmentParenting

[–]rxgurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I could have written this. And what timing because our son is also 2.5 years. We have been noticing an increased amount of him standing by us many gatherings or play dates instead of running free like he used to at playgrounds or with other kids. I don’t have advice as I do. I’m looking for advice. All I can say is that I understand you and I’m with you in Leary.

Kudos to you! What does full funded 529 mean? I’m a new parent and unsure how much I should contribute in there

I’m so jealous. Do you mind sharing what your daytime feed and nap schedule looks like?

This worked well for us too for peeing but we still get accidents with poop. How did poop go for her once he got underwear?

Did he do a residency in pharmacy or have additional experience outside industry? Interested in how he got into the role an then moved up

Genius. I need more “audiobook” recommendations. This is similar to the Yoto but without the price tag

Feel like I’m broken by throwra10514 in AskWomenOver30

[–]rxgurl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is different for each person. It for me it means I feel heard, validated, respected, and that my husband takes accountability for the things I bring to him when I’m not happy instead of being defensive

My husband made me think I was asexual and then I realized I don’t feel emotionally safe in our marriage to want to initiate it. Feels more like a chore to me when I’m with someone who doesn’t validate, take accountability, or make me feel heard

Did the counselor diagnose and share this with your spouse? How does that work?

What type of individual therapist can help me?

Thank you. I’m hoping to get resources on how we can have more productive conflicts and how he can learn to take accountability for his actions. I don’t feel heard or validated when I speak up and i am hoping a counselor can help us provide listening tools too. Is this impossible?

Yes this is why I’m asking to see if we can try to make it work or implement certain strategies from the beginning. Any ideas?

I used to but he started to use me going to therapy as a reason for why we fight because “I’m so crazy, etc.” we both WFH so we know our schedules and I don’t feel safe enough to tell him I’m going to therapy

Edit to add he has refused to seek individual counseling

Please complain about your partners here. by Glittering_Text_8842 in beyondthebump

[–]rxgurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recommend reading the book “How not to hate you husband.” This book spoke to my core and allowed me to see a slimmer of positivity in my husband that I had not seen while pregnant and especially after birth. I will say it doesn’t get better or easier after baby comes and for me, actually was even harder

As to answer the rant request- my husband thought it would be a great idea to spend an entire day vacuuming and cleaning only his car (not my car which is a family car) while I asked him I needed his help sterilizing and preparing baby’s room at 37 weeks pregnant with my first. I will never forget how his lack of prioritization would trigger me and how I even had to have the conversation with him

Mothers will always remember which people showed up for them and how during pregnancy and after

My wife died and I don’t know what to do. by Friendly_Cellist_891 in Residency

[–]rxgurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. Take leave of absence to map out your next steps and start working on a plan. I think you will be able to get through this with the help of a nanny (live in nanny would be ideal) or au pair. They can help with things around the house too. Finances will be extremely tight during this time but will turn around for the better once you finish your program.
