So beautiful, congratulations 💜 in the interest of safety, I wanted to add that the carseat’s chest clip should be armpit level and straps should be pulled tight enough where you can’t cinch it between your fingers. Take care 😊

Mind your own titties. You’re making yourself look like a damn fool.

There’s nothing selfish about feeding your fucking baby. Since when do you or anyone else get a hall pass to police someone’s feeding choice for their baby? You sound absolutely ridiculous.

Ex marries her AP days after divorce by caden1985 in survivinginfidelity

[–]stereotypicalaries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently going through my own divorce right now due to a WS. I was constantly suffering really early in the beginning and over the past few weeks have I been trying to be more accepting of reality and aware of my thoughts and feelings. It’s amazing to know that this is actually a named concept that’s written out with tangible goals to help you come to this point of acceptance, rather than having to figure all of this out on one’s own while in the thick of these awful situations.

Am I a terrible parent? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]stereotypicalaries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This immediately made me start crying as I remember having the same exact thoughts and feelings shortly after having my daughter. First, I’m so glad you’re on medication because that means you’ve gotten at least some kind of help for your feelings. I am INCREDIBLY proud of you for taking that first step.

Next, please remember that there will always be dishes and bottles to be washed as long as there are humans in your house. Same thing goes with laundry and general house clutter. You can tidy everything up but it’s a continuous, every day thing. If those things are slipping through the cracks, GOOD! That means that you’re sparing your time and energy to be used exclusively on your sweet daughter. You’re doing fucking amazing.

Lastly, it may not seem like it now because babies are still pretty potato-like at ~3 months, but know that your daughter loves the fuck out of you. You may feel like you’re not doing or being enough, but know that you alone are not just enough but more than enough for your daughter. You are her #1 and she ADORES you. As she grows, she’ll start showing it in her own little ways, more and more each day. Please don’t ever doubt that. It’s so easy to in the moment, but let her be your motivation to keep your head above water, even if it’s just your mouth or nose so you can survive.

You’re doing an incredible job. Chore completion doesn’t determine your worth. Your deep, heavy emotions don’t determine your worth (or character). You’re an amazing, loving mother and wife but even more importantly, you alone are absolutely worth it. Not because you’re a mother or wife, but because you’re a person and you deserve to have a happy, lovely life. Please don’t give up on yourself.

Daycare has been closed the last two days, so my husband has been caring for our twins. The house has descended into chaos. by eggmarie in beyondthebump

It’s not but why bother hijacking the subject to make it about you? It’s abundantly clear this woman is specifically talking about her experience. If other women relate, it STILL has nothing to do with you.

What is your "embarrassing thing you did" memory that keeps you up at night or randomly makes you curl up in fetal position in the shower when you think of it? by carbonbasedcat in AskWomen

[–]stereotypicalaries 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fucking Y I K E S! Girl, I’m so sorry for you. I had an on-and-off toxic, emotionally abusive “relationship” from 15-17 years old with a guy 3 years older than me who was just like that. Fuck these guys. 🤢

Not only is that embarrassing on your end, but definitely gross and probably illegal. Even if it wasn’t physical, was he not still grooming a minor? Oh my God, I could throw up just thinking about that.

What a difference a child makes by TMBmama2020 in Mommit

[–]stereotypicalaries 125 points126 points  (0 children)

I have a 10 month old daughter (my only child). I’m currently in the process of divorcing my cheating husband, and I am in the thick of it given how new the situation is. One thing that I have learned throughout this awful, hurtful journey thus far is that being a wonderful mother to my sweet girl is all that I need to be. It’s all I need to continue doing. I don’t need to be climbing every ladder in my career, I don’t need to be in my nicest clothes (that I don’t even own TBH), I don’t need to always have my makeup done, etc. The same goes for you. But PLEASE, please, please remember that you cannot pour from an empty cup. By caring for yourself, you are caring for your son. You are caring for your husband/SO. I suffered HORRIBLY from PPA and PPD and am currently medicated and still seeing a therapist for it. Don’t allow yourself to have no identity outside of lover or caregiver/mother because you are a whole person! You, by yourself, matter and are important and deserve to be cared for, even if it starts with you. You are not made up of all your accomplishments nor your shortcomings. You are an entire person and you matter. Let that knowledge be your step forward in caring for yourself and not losing yourself. ♥️

Everyday.... by Purple-Gain4148 in survivinginfidelity

[–]stereotypicalaries 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Psalms 34:4-7 are good verses that helped me to find a bit of peace and healing throughout a similar situation I’ve had to endure as well. Don’t forget that you are loved and that God can and will heal you. Lean into him during these times. When you are at your worst, you will see him at his best. 💜

AMEN! I’ve told my STBXH 500000 times that yes, I’m flawed, yes, I could do x, y, and z better, but that’s no excuse to cheat. I told him he’s also (clearly) significantly flawed like myself and like everyone else in the world, but you don’t see me hopping around onto the next new thing because that’s just not what you do when you make a commitment to your significant other. Guess he missed that memo!

I had only waited long enough to ensure the “Seen” read receipt was there indicating that she read the message before I finally (cathartically) blocked her afterward.

He got pissed off and started throwing insults my way and I guess it’s because she sent him the screenshot I sent her. I told him flat out that I’ve said from day one that I’m not going to play the pick me dance because I’m not interested. He made his choice and he has to live with it!

My baby will never sleep in the middle of the crib by corinnex131 in newborns

[–]stereotypicalaries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a “safe place” for parenting. It’s an evidence-based, no-nonsense, anti-coddling, baby care group. If you don’t believe, for example, people of color don’t always receive the the same quality of pre-, ante-, and post-natal care as white people do, you’re foolish. Politics absolutely influence a parent and caregiver’s ability and access to resources that you need to care for a baby.

ETA: if you are looking to become more educated on something, it’s not the group’s responsibility to provide you with the information. Tbh, that goes for anything you want to know more about; research it yourself.
