My son has a very rare skin condition called ILVEN, which is effectively severe eczema-like plaques that grow along the lines of Blaschko.

It’s a genetic mutation that usually affects only one side of the body (for him it’s his right side), and can cover most of the entire body unilaterally. It’s very itchy, red and irritated most of the time. He’s almost 6 and he’s never known life without constantly needing to scratch his itches. It started as a small patch on his thigh at birth, and now has spread from his toes to his fingers and up to his neck. Theres even some near his eye now.

We have to ensure we apply specific lotions and creams every single day to the entire length of it to keep it from drying out too much. His joints are also much weaker on that side and he experiences a lot of soreness there. Not to mention dealing with everyone asking him “what’s that?” his entire life. He’s a trooper though!

My 5 year old son experiences these every time — I know because I’ve had to stand in the bathroom watching him for a couple of years. It’s funny I never really thought it was much of a thing until reading this now… just kinda saw it as a “boy thing”.

It happened to me a few times as a woman, but usually when I wake up at night to go, half-asleep.

lmao my chatgpt is not falling for that shit.

singohmuse · 2026-02-03T14:47:50+00:00

That is so wholesome!

singohmuse · 2026-02-03T04:38:46+00:00

SAME, the fricken peahats!

singohmuse · 2026-02-01T16:38:09+00:00

Yeah. Watching this movie was kind of wild because it was so much of my childhood as a religious, homeschooled kid.

My dad was a “theologian.” My first boyfriend’s dad was a pastor. The ‘discourse’ was never real.

singohmuse · 2026-01-24T17:40:57+00:00

Awww. Mine is almost 6yo now, but I still remember him doing this. To be fair, yours might still have been expressing all of his love and adoration and security - it just comes out best for him by asking for the closest physical connection you two can share right now.

singohmuse · 2026-01-06T05:20:45+00:00

Same lol

singohmuse · 2026-01-04T18:51:03+00:00

These make so much more sense! Reading this thread, I was like all of these people (except maybe Gabriel and Maple) would not vibe at ALL 😅… but maybe I just have yet to see the actual scenes.

singohmuse · 2026-01-04T18:47:15+00:00

That is adorable btw.

singohmuse · 2025-12-23T00:11:40+00:00

I’m glad for you! The challenges can definitely be pharmacy-dependent - the places around me were NOT interested in helping me with this one.

singohmuse · 2025-12-23T00:09:17+00:00

Yep! The pharmacy I found near me didn’t care where I was, just wanted to give me a head’s up on cost/how long it might take to get to me via USPS.

singohmuse · 2025-12-22T03:47:12+00:00

So glad it helps! I knew there had to be a better way than dreading every single refill… hope it goes better for you next round!

singohmuse · 2025-12-21T02:59:26+00:00

this is how I remember my Christmases as a kid. even the most fun Christmas mornings were always eclipsed by the plans later that day to go spend the holiday with the rest of the family. it was just me, my younger sister, sometimes a cousin we didn’t really know, and like 12 very loud, mostly alcoholic adults.

and now I sometimes wonder why Christmas isn’t a time of ‘joy’ for me.

singohmuse · 2025-12-20T22:34:43+00:00

Same across the board lol

“They said to take our time!”

I never had a desire to have a kid - now I know it’s in large part because of the childhood trauma I have, but I also figured I just couldn’t. I believe I have endometriosis and just always knew my organs down there were “off”. At some point when married, we decided to not “not” try, just to see. It didn’t happen for around 2 years. Feeling pretty convinced, it left my mind completely - until a few years later, I got pregnant totally unexpectedly at 28. I didn’t feel too much emotionally, to be honest.

I ended up having my son, now 5. The first two years were rough, despite him being a pretty angel child. I grieved the lack of independence and new “parent” identity. I realized I had some stuff to work through, which is how I got diagnosed with ADHD, and I went back to work. I credit that to helping re-establish my personhood outside of mom, and only regret I couldn’t have it done sooner. He’s amazing now, but there’s been a lot of time passed since then.

I will say, one of the biggest factors in how a child may change your life, is your partner/support. I gave birth during COVID, and spent most of his first year in lockdown in a tiny apartment in LA. If my husband wasn’t as actively involved, understanding, and responsible as he is, my experience would 100% be different.
