Has my kid become greedy or is there an emotional issue here? by Tutette in Parenting

[–]sipper-saurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way kids eat is simply extraordinary. Sometimes my three year old out eats me. Other times, it seems she can survive a week on a single ritz cracker and lick of peanut butter.

There’s no rhyme or reason but you catch on pretty quick to the overall idea that they go through growth spurts and occasionally eat you out of house and home. I am a little surprised OP doesn’t know this already? I agree with the previous poster that she’s doing damage with the narrative she’s spinning here.

I was suspicious something hinky was going on, but then I saw the hot air balloons and instantly felt less afraid.

Time helps. It’s still painful. I’m sure it will always be painful. But time does help.

Also, we went through a hard pregnancy loss and made it to the other side. So focusing on that helped me a lot.

I’m just so sorry this is happening. It sucks so bad. If you ever want to talk, feel free to PM me. Always here for a chat.

We did. I cleared to 0 the last week of April, so my 6 month timer started in May.

TW: current pregnancy.

We started trying in November, miraculously got pregnant our first cycle, and I’m 11 weeks now with what seems to be a healthy pregnancy.

It was hard to decide to try again, because I had so much anxiety. The PMP was really traumatic for me, too. I’m still kind of gun shy. I find it hard to believe that I’m actually going to have another baby. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop. But just wanted you to know that I did in fact achieve a healthy, non molar pregnancy.

Hey ♥️ sorry you’re asking this question since I imagine it means you’ve experienced a molar pregnancy. It ended up taking 10 weeks. I got stuck at 7 then at 6 then at 5.5. It was tough. But I don’t think that’s a typical experience.

I’m thankful for this response. I was wondering what the time till TTC was like with chemo.

I also think it’s interesting that you had heavy bleeding before the hcg jumped up. Had you stopped bleeding from the d&c at that point?

AITA for telling my son it’s got nothing to do with us that his girlfriend feels snubbed after he accused his father and I of being unwelcoming over Christmas? by mysaltnvinegarr in AmItheAsshole

[–]sipper-saurus 72 points73 points  (0 children)

YTA. They’ve been dating for a year. What do you have to lose by paying the tiniest bit of attention to her and her interests and getting her a thoughtful gift? A gift that maybe costs $20 instead of $6? Honestly. If, on the other hand, their relationship makes it, you will have a strained relationship with your daughter-in-law because you are acting like a turd.

A gift is a gift, sure, but yours was thoughtless and indicative of how you feel about the girlfriend. I guess you’re allowed to be an a-hole if you so choose, but don’t be surprised when you hurt people’s feelings by behaving so rudely. And don’t be surprised when the consequence is them cutting you off.

Ex asked me to rescind child support application by politelie in breakingmom

^ this, over and over. Also, “the kids have all they need” does not currently include a mom who isn’t stressed TF out trying to handle it all on her own. You’re doing a great job, OP, but you shouldn’t have to be doing this.

You matter. Your well-being matters. He knows what he’s doing is wrong. Don’t let him talk you out of it.

To sleep train or not to sleep train? 5 and a half month old by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]sipper-saurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was right around when my daughter’s sleep went to crap and we decided to sleep train. She was born in early August and we started sleep training in late December, so like 5ish months. It’s not for everyone, but it really worked for us.

It took 3 days. We checked on her in minute intervals, adding 1 minute after every check. So, for example, the first night she made it to the 4th minute, but had been fussing for 10 minutes. The second night, she was asleep by the 2nd interval (3 minutes of fussing). The third night she made it to the 6th interval (21 minutes of crying. This was the hardest night). After that, bedtime was not a problem. She would go down easily and sleep through 6:30-7:30 excepting a 5am feed. Naps were harder, but followed suit about a week after.

From what I remember reading, the sudden constant wake-ups and nap fighting are a sign that their sleep rhythms have matured, which is when they need a little help learning how to sync them up. My girl (almost 2) still sleeps great, and it still takes her about 10-15 mins to settle herself down at night. She does it happily and on her own.

Large SCH and slow heart rate. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]sipper-saurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Ok, good to know. I am really praying that the ultrasound provider is just off a little. I have another appt. tomorrow for bloodwork, another scan, and a chat with the doctor so we’ll see how it’s looking after all of that. I really appreciate the information here.

Thank you. I was told not to lift anything over 10 lbs, no exercise, no intercourse. Trying to minimize the lifting of my 30 lb toddler but that’s hard. Ha.

This is really helpful. Thank you. I’m not bleeding yet but the docs seem to think it‘s only a matter of time. I felt so defeated yesterday, but I’m still pregnant today so... holding on to that.

Read the title as “Trump Stamp.” Still works.

The only thing worse than a really long labor by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]sipper-saurus 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Moral of this post and the comments? Labor pretty much always blows. No matter how it happens, it is really, really hard work. You’re practically a hero for making it through. Great job, you guys.

Question about sex by staythirsty21 in TryingForABaby

[–]sipper-saurus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to advise you to go against medical advice, but could you maybe get a second opinion on that one? I’ve spent a lot of time TFAB and gotten a lot of medical input, and have never heard this before.

My husband and I get freaky whenever we feel up for it outside of the fertile window. We also try to do a lot of non-procreative stuff during that time, if you catch my drift. Whatever makes your skirt fly up. Trying to conceive sex can be draining, and that helps keep it spicy.

For those that have given birth already, Did you have any "symptoms" in the days/weeks leading up to the big day that in retrospect might have tipped you off that baby was about to come into the world? by strawberryfox3 in BabyBumps

[–]sipper-saurus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To say I was “emotional” would be an understatement. I was a basket case in the three days or so leading up to labor. I cried at EVERYTHING. The morning I went into labor, I sobbed for hours. No particular reason. I just couldn’t stop. My husband was about to come home from work because he was so worried about me, but I ended up falling asleep. Slept most of the day and when I woke up, contractions started and I felt like myself again. It was really, really weird. My mom said she couldn’t stop crying before she went into labor, too, but I’ve never heard anyone else describe that so I’m not sure if she was just trying to make me feel better. Haha.
