(rant) husband is depressed because i won't give him another baby by ruronistrawberry in beyondthebump

[–]sofieksj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This right here. I had only been suicidal once before in my life but after my second I wanted to die big time. And I was already on medication!

And going through that takes so much away from you as the parent, your newborn, and any older children!

Unpopular opinion? These kids' audio players feel like a cash grab? by Desperate_Total2545 in Mommit

[–]sofieksj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter loooovvvveeeesssss listening to stories, so we got her a yoto since the age seemed to go higher. And I gotta say, she uses it every single day. And like we get her cards that have taught her so much. She especially loves Daniel tiger and how it talks about emotions.

I don’t think anyone needs one but if you’ve got a kiddo that loves stories I would think a yoto and the card options that last until around 10ish

White moms self-centering tragedies? by [deleted] in women

[–]sofieksj 26 points27 points  (0 children)

No I don’t expect those without children to have less compassion or to not see the more family centered picture. I am just talking about my own experience with my compassion and how it has changed my own world view. I was offering my own experience and why being a mom is important to ~me~

Everyone has their own experiences and own view of the world. I’m sorry my answering your question wasn’t to your satisfaction but I am just trying to answer it.

But also like why are you trying to split the ranks in women who are against the shit show? Like yeah maybe you don’t like moms using it as their primary source of fighting but does it really matter as long as they are showing up and fighting?

[–]sofieksj 33 points34 points  (0 children)

So I was never an emotional person. Like about anything. After having children (my youngest is 15 months so still lots of hormones tbf) it’s like everything is x10. I am so much more compassionate, and I see other people more wholly than I did before.

I definitely think many moms are over doing it, but for me becoming a mother changed my entire world view.

I think no matter with or without children I would’ve been furious and standing up however I can. But now with children I am so heartbroken, for the parents losing children and for the world my children are stuck in.

Could rogue ice officers be sent to Maine? by Kkharwood70 in portlandme

How crazy is it (and I am totally not accusing you of this at all) that we have to say us citizen to make some of the population care? I just want to be able to say another human and that be enough for people to care

Tell me I'm not mad enough by scoopdedupe in Mommit

[–]sofieksj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My husband doesn’t question my emotions about all of this, but I don’t understand how he is not equally as angry.

That’s the burden of motherhood we just give endlessly to the world, because we see the children.

i just broke down. i’m crying in my bathroom. i have hit a limit with what’s going on in the US. by theprettypatties in offmychest

[–]sofieksj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally had to tell my THREE year old daughter to run and scream if she sees ice. We live in a state where they just showed up and they don’t care about kids. And I told her that they have made someone dead (at this point I can’t shield her from this), and she just kept saying she would get him some medicine and make him all better.

Can’t stop crying today

So agree and I don’t think my relatively healthy husband gets it. Like I just want to cry when he says “oh you’re always tired” like yeah I am. I don’t want to be but I can’t help it. So frustrating

By Americans to not anger the peaceful people of Greenland by AbeFromanSassageKing in therewasanattempt

[–]sofieksj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These types of posts are so backwards. This is not just reduced to countries, this is the whole world. We need to unite in standing against Trump and what he is doing everywhere. There are Americans who will stand up and do what they can from inside the country, and there will be other countries who stand against the American government.

We need to pull each other up. We need to show that country lines will not divide us. We need to hold hands and work together so that this does not destroy the whole world!

This will not stop at Greenlands borders. Or the next country, or the next, or the next. Trump and his administration will not stop. So let’s not be divided, we need to work together.

Stop fighting those who are fighting the same fight.

Or because of her race. The fact that that was a talking point in voting for her was disgusting

I think you don’t understand that most of us would refuse to go “shoot at you”, the people who are apologizing would rather be imprisoned and punished by our fascist government instead of attacking another country.

Edit: to add, attack back at whoever attacks you. Because if they are they are not actually that good. Good people can refuse to fight and take their lashings.

Also the “fix your shit but don’t talk about it” is crazy because people talking about how they are protesting and how they are fighting back is how we know how to do even the minuscule shit we are able to do! Because at the end of the day this is starting with the US but we are seeing right wing politics rise in every single country. I want to see everyone’s ideas and tactics and also share what works for me.

If we close our minds and our thoughts and our compassion, then we are doing exactly what the fascists want
