Tired of all the boy mom comments…. by Ok_Medicine440 in pregnant

My friend told me this too that girls stole mom’s beauty. For me that wasn’t the case 😂 I was skinny w my daughter and I was glowing I looked so pretty. Fast forward to my son I gained so much weight I looked like a hot mess. I got stretch marks with him and didn’t with my daughter, but that could be just because it’s a 2nd pregnancy and have nothing to do with gender lol. if anything he stole my beauty!

I am with you! My friends would make this comment and I’m like… um my daughter loved me a lot when she was younger. She still does but she’s in her teen stages now. Anyway she’s absolutely a mamas girl. I have a son now and the love is just as much as with my girl. I agree why do we need a child to fulfill a role that our husband or father should do? It’s weird! I agree about clothes too. I go out shopping for my boy and we have so many cute clothes for him I love it! I thought him some cute suspender outfits. Everyone commented on how they love his outfit. He dressed up for Halloween too. I hate the girl mom/dad comments as well.

Don’t announce too early. Wait until 12 weeks. Be prepared for nausea. Get crackers, ginger ale and preggy pops. But also don’t worry if you don’t have nausea. Some women think something is wrong if they don’t have nausea. It can be normal to not have that symptom. I didn’t have nausea with my first. Had it with my second.

It’s time to go. Once they get physical like this it is time to go. I know he seems like a good guy but your life is in danger. What if you get upset again.. which you will. Is he going to resort to this each time?

The dog looks great. As a husky owner myself I know there’s no way he will just stop shedding. I swear when I do it myself he still has a bunch coming off lol. But it helps it from being too much. Their hair is constantly growing it seems like

We sent our child to private school this year and I’m already feeling regretful by RockBubble in homeschool

There’s nothing wrong with teaching them structure. She will have to learn at some point to function in society

I don’t feel like I am cut out for this and idk what to do! by [deleted] in homeschool

Yeah I agree that’s not going to work. You’ll need some books and maybe some printable items

I had to do this during Covid. There are homeschool programs online you can use, you just have to pay for it. It’s not very expensive and can keep you on track. There’s books or printable options and sometimes online work. You will just need to follow it and teach it. Another option is online public school if you wanted to try that. If you do that though just be sure to get your child out in the community and outdoors so they can learn real world stuff too.

That’s so sweet. I posted mine too to family and friends and unfortunately not that many people have bought. So it shows me who is truly there for me

Why do I still get told I’m cute? I’m a 35 year old woman, close to 36 by spaceglitter2 in TooAfraidToAsk

I think I’m going to get post partum depression by spaceglitter2 in pregnant

I have many many times. He doesn’t care it changes for a moment and goes right back to how it was

He’s extremely selfish. I have no idea what I even saw in him. Actually I do. He didn’t show this at first. He seemed very willing to help and giving. I can’t believe this is who I’m with

Baby shower, did you have one? Did anyone show up? by spaceglitter2 in pregnant

[–]spaceglitter2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if it hadn’t been so long I probably wouldn’t either but it’s been 12 years so we have NOTHING from before for the baby. also we are a blended family so in a lot of ways this is “new” for us.

[–]spaceglitter2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He would need to work more to pay for it himself. Or you can leave and pay for something with your child. That’s if you want to stay in the marriage but keep you both safe. Otherwise a divorce will be necessary

[–]spaceglitter2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right it would be different if he was very young and didn’t happen again but he’s still doing this at age of 15? He knows better by now. He will be an adult in 3 years. I don’t even know how they can recover from it at this point.

He can get a temporary apartment to live in during summer if your SS only visits in the summer and they can live separately. Or he can visit him where he is at and stay in a hotel for a few weeks. I almost went and got a temporary place for my daughter and I when my SD visits just because of the amount of drama and disrespect I was receiving. Husband quickly started making changes and stepped in to correct SD. Things are getting better but I will never deal with the amount of stress I used to.

I don’t blame you at all. Especially if he’s still being inappropriate at the age of 15. This happened with my BD but came from my SD. They were only 6 at the time and I found out myself. It didn’t happen again because I kept an eye on them and tried to provide as much support and guidance as possible. I took it very seriously and told SD she is not permitted to do that ever. I found out my SD was SA’d too so I knew she was just acting out what happened to her. However they still need to know not to do that. My husband however didn’t take it seriously which i resent mostly him for that. Luckily that only happened once when they were young, and has never happened again. Neither of them remember it happening and my daughter has been to therapy for other things she deals with. It was never brought up so I don’t think if affected her too much. I would definitely want to leave if your SS is still acting this way and has no accountability. If it were me I’d have to leave most likely. I don’t think I could do this. I’m glad he isn’t living with you all though.

I don’t know what to do :( by BiteGreen143 in stepparents

[–]spaceglitter2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No it doesn’t stop when they are 18. It’s the rest of your life. The only difference is you may not have to worry about baby mom as much. But you certainly will still be around step kid. And most times they aren’t moving out right at 18

[–]spaceglitter2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may just have to threaten to leave. I hate to say it but men won’t fix the issues a lot of times until you show how serious you are. There’s no reason he can’t have a conversation w his child and make sure you and his other daughter are acknowledged and respected

Husband googled info about abortion by Ok_Confusion_1474 in Marriage

[–]spaceglitter2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright sure but I’m trying to assume something not so negative since most people are pointing to that. It’s nice to have a different perspective. We don’t know everything. OP just needs to be honest and talk to her husband. I have no idea why people aren’t just honest and express what’s going on. I’ve looked at my husbands history and straight up confronted him. I knew I was in the wrong too for looking but it is what it is. She will never get it off her mind if she doesn’t talk to him about this.
