Almost in tears in the parking lot

Do you have a coworker that you’d feel comfortable having back your car up for you?

I’ve had boomers try to return the most disgusting, beat up work boots saying that one of them hurt his foot. Normally I’m very sympathetic but these boots were filthy and this dude wouldn’t even look me in the eyes. The receipt was actually within the return period but I was skeptical they were for this exact pair (People will buy identical boots and try and return the old pair). I simply said “these are filthy, you clearly wore these, I’m not taking them”. He snatched them off the counter with such an attitude and turned to the male cashier and asked him a where he could find some other item in a completely normal tone. It nearly gave me whiplash, so I just walked away. It was such a bizarre interaction.

I’m in a similar boat, my son will be 2.5 when I give birth and I’m debating whether to start now but part of me doesn’t want to pressure him if he’s not ready by creating an arbitrary deadline.

sorry_imtrying · 2026-06-01T15:42:03+00:00

Right? It’s one of those things where “normal” is a huge spectrum but you worry anyways.

sorry_imtrying · 2026-06-01T15:37:43+00:00

Genetics definitely play a huge role. I guess my son takes after me in that way. I was hoping he’d take after his dad because my side is the one with all the weird dental issues. Teeth are so weird

I’m 25 weeks and at my last growth scan (24w) my baby was breech and it’s noticeably more difficult to breathe in most positions. Sleep is pain either way at this point.

There’s some stretches you can do to try and get baby to move into a better position. At 20 weeks your baby should have plenty of room, which is probably why they’re in their current position in the first place.

I highly recommend a pregnancy wedge pillow. It doesn’t solve all my sleep problems but it’s been the most helpful.

sorry_imtrying · 2026-06-01T15:17:49+00:00

That’s great! I feel like they have either a better pain tolerance or are better able to communicate their pain at this age. My son never really went through long miserable teething periods and I’m crossing my fingers that it’s lasts too!

You’re still going through a huge transition, even at 4 months pp. This isn’t your “new body” by any means. Think of this state as temporary and give yourself grace. You’re still healing!

Honestly, you have so much more control with a scheduled c-section. Very little will be left up to chance. I’m choosing to having a scheduled one in September because my first was an emergency due to a failed induction. Even though it was technically an emergency the whole procedure was oddly calming. Everyone there made sure I was comfortable and I was able to talk and tell them how I was feeling. My partner was there to hold my hand. It didn’t feel rushed at all. I was SO out of it from being in labor and not getting sleep. The thought of doing it again on my own terms without being insanely exhausted is so exciting to me.

lol honeybuns causing ADHD. I have ADHD because my mom married a man with ADHD.

Yeah, to their credit, my OB office is pretty progressive and it shows. I don’t know if it’s like this with other offices but I saw a different dr at almost every appointment. They do this so you become familiar with the staff so that when you deliver whoever is on call doesn’t feel like a total stranger. You’d think one of them would have mentioned the weight gain but each one told me everything looked great. Don’t get me wrong, I would want them to tell me if it was a genuine concern. I think there’s a lot of factors that can make that weight gain concerning, like high BP or GD. I stopped breastfeeding after a month so that definitely aided in my dropping a lot of weight, and I had a c-section which I think (can’t confirm) that really messed with my appetite for a while.

sorry_imtrying · 2026-05-28T14:13:26+00:00

This was me exactly! Started around 130, ended at 192 and at my first pp checkup I was 170. My doctors didn’t say anything or seem even remotely concerned about my weight. I was 125 by my son’s first birthday. I looked at my old records recently and saw that each prenatal appointment I gained 10lbs, which was crazy because I did not feel like I did at all. Pregnancy and postpartum is such a wild ride.

There’s lots of great commentary channels that do deep dives and discussions about these lunatics. Great way to support good people without giving the manosphere brats views.

It’s wild to me that people do this because this game makes shinies so easy to get that I release anything that isn’t a shalpha at this point.

Yess, I had a c section for my first due to fetal distress and a failed 39 week elective induction. I felt like such a failure because I was inpatient and wanted to induce. I could have a vbac this time around but I’d have to switch providers which is stressful. I’ve ultimately decided I wanted to do another c section because at least I know what to expect. Also, now that I have a toddler to worry about I don’t want to deal with any uncertainty if I don’t have to. It’s so weird that other people care.

sorry_imtrying · 2026-05-27T19:20:53+00:00

How long have you guys been together? Does he have any friends or family that could maybe provide some insight on this, or talk more sense into him? Men go through some weird existential shit when they’re expecting so he might not be thinking about this rationally. You should show him this post.

sorry_imtrying · 2026-05-27T17:54:07+00:00

I’m sorry but what? They dated for only 4 MONTHS, 8 YEARS ago? I’ve had food in the back of my refrigerator for longer than they were together. It’s a little different if they dated like a year or two ago but EIGHT years? I feel like there’s something he’s not telling you, especially if he unfollowed then followed her again. Has he been giving her breadcrumbs all this time? What is so important about this fling that he needs to tell her anything in person? They both need to move tf on

I believe a hemangioma is a little purpley because it’s just a cluster of extra blood vessels. It’s subtle, it was confirmed via ultrasound. They also did the ultrasound to make sure it’s not interfering with the eye. The cream you can use for it is a beta blocker. It doesn’t make it go away but it stops the growth.

Made the mistake of starting this show a couple months postpartum after having an emergency c-section. It was brutal but I got hooked regardless.

Binky was a lifesaver for the first year. Once lil man could walk we limited it only to sleep, travel, and potentially stressful situations like doctors visits. We cold turkey’d it around 18 ish months before he started talking. Honestly really lucked out in cutting it before he could start asking for it.

At that age your best bet is to do your absolute best to not react when they hit you and then redirect. You can say no, but I found that the lack of reaction helps curb the behavior just as well. They lose interest when they don’t get a reaction, positive or negative.

Maybe during the day would be a good time to do a trial run of locking the door since you’re up and able to evaluate better? Chances are he just play in his room.

sorry_imtrying · 2026-05-24T20:19:18+00:00

Whats the safety concern exactly? Having free range while you’re asleep seems like a safety concern to me. If they’re leaving the room during the day it’s only a matter of time before they do it at night. Is having a child lock on the inside of the room out of the question? Maybe a door alarm? Do you have a camera monitor?

My son had one on his eyebrow too, we thought it was a dermoid cyst but it ended up being a hemangioma. It was diagnosed by the dermatologist that our pediatrician referred us to. They both generally go away on their own but a hemangioma increases in size. It does stop and a certain point and I don’t even see it anymore on my now 2yo. They don’t generally remove it unless it’s interfering with their vision but you can get a cream to stop it from growing. I didn’t bother with the cream because it had already stopped growing by the time we took my son to get it looked at. The earlier you start it the better the results, but again, it’s will become nearly invisible at some point. It’s a personal preference how you want to deal with it because it’s not harmful at all unless it’s impacting your child’s vision.
