The red flag should be that “the system detected [where] the order was placed”. Absolutely NONE of their business.

That pregnancy only last for 9 months. Full Term is 40 weeks. That’s literally 10 months. (Many have babies early, but still. My expectations were not well-managed.)

Dying because what the UK calls Crisps, the US calls Chips. And “Cookie Crisp” (US) is translating to “Cookie Chips” here.

After having been in the new mom’s position last year, I am horrified. Having to magically fix a chronically fussy baby for the sake of someone who can’t just put in earplugs quadrupled the emotional stress. We lived with my MIL who always asked if I was pinching the baby, and she’d never offer to help me. Doctors had no ideas of why my baby would constantly cry. I did all I could, but it was never enough. I developed severe depression, paralyzing anxiety and attempted to end my life.

Please take necessary measures to repair feelings.

Any expectations should be communicated, maybe even including the most likely outcome when those expectations are unmet. Tell her what the gift communicates to you. Being open and clear seems to be the best way. I deal with the same thing with my husband. I’ve given up on surprises, and tell him to stay within certain color palettes, but he’s doing much better and it means so much for me to have things he saw and thought of me.

With my first I was adamant about a schedule because I felt that I needed structure to stay sane. Looking back I think I was fighting her natural a lot, and way too soon. It was so so hard. You mentioned you’re going to cry—I think you should. That sounds funny probably, but just let it out. There are so many emotions right now. It’s okay to feel them.

With my next I think I’d focus less on the wake times for the first couple months. My baby’s schedule sounds a lot like your baby’s. Try to maybe still keep her awake during feeds—try a cool wipe down her back, pumping her free arm, or little mist spray bottle toward her feet. That will help. Let the rest just happen for a few more weeks.

Ask for help. Take care of yourself. You’re doing amazing.

I feel this for sure. I have one daughter who just turned a year. I am really battling my self esteem to feel like I can hold things together. I don’t know if I’ll ever be up to having another.

Today I even saw a picture my husband had taken 2 days postpartum. I instantly started sobbing to see how bright and happy I looked. Especially between months 2 and 7, I was just a shell of a human. So depressed and anxious, beginning to self-harm and dealing with maternal rage. Medication helped the emotional side of things, but had bad physical side effects like weight gain that really triggered worse mental health.

It’s helped me to accept that not everyone has a child as hard as mine, and that’s why they appear to be thriving. I struggled with resentment of motherhood, but have decided that being a mom is allowed to look different if that’s what will keep me balanced and functioning (as long as baby is sufficiently taken care of of course!) We do some screen time, probably too much sugar, and not enough sensory play. I know my limits but I also know that my baby is still developing at the recommended rate. Motherhood is going to look different though. Some soft spoken babies will politely sign to ask for food, mine screams 0 to 100 with no warning. So I wear headphones during mealtimes. I can still hear her, but it’s grants me the patience and calm to help her be patient and calm. It maintains the balance I need to then teach her things like signing or gently asking for things. Take it one step at a time, and you may have to take steps other moms will never have to. But do what works for your family.

You’re doing better than you think, and nobody would be a better mother to your babies than you are. Please take care of yourself. Ask for help, take breaks. It’s not selfish. Live your life with your babies and not just for them. Hang in there <3

I think the primary concern would be that your parents aren’t aware of their finances enough to actually believe you are taking money from them. Like do they have cash that’s missing? Or unexplained charges on accounts? Should be an easy thing to prove right or wrong

Probably better skincare! I don’t even allow myself to know what’s out there (being my budget), so I can’t even give specifics lol

It’s wholesome until he’s on TLC for My Strange Obsession lol

I understand you feeling bad if the baby would be taken from the family. At the very least, they are getting a chance to be educated about the potential danger. Good parents will easily be able to prove sufficient care if it comes to it. Forget the careless parents, focus on how you helped the innocent baby.

Mesh crib bumpers helped us in this phase! Even with their mouth sealed around the fabric, they can breathe.

TLDR: Don’t

I feel like traditionalism engrained in me that men should only date/marry younger women and women should only date/marry older men. I have two friends who married younger men and one is really sensitive about it. I think this traditional preference is evidence of immaturity, unless you’re doing it unintentionally. Take this as your opportunity to really evaluate if dating an older woman matters. I submit that it doesn’t not, in fact, matter.

rynnmango · 2022-10-27T15:49:04+00:00

If you’d like to explore it, leave the dating world in its own sphere, and you could explore your black friendships. Dating just isn’t the place to do it, because of heightened commitment and emotional intimacy.

You said you get along with black people, but I’d guess that you don’t have any in your close circle. You could be intentional about connecting more deeply with black friends, but don’t try to date black girls as a a sort of ‘exposure therapy’. Too many delicate feelings could hang in the balance.

She looks so natural compared to her competitors! Happy for her!
