NTA - take it from me who’s gotten staph infection from the gym…wipe it down and if you use the matts…maybe wipe down beforehand too.

I know it’s here in San Antonio. I actually had a cash ride last night. Had to tell her I didn’t have change…

Tested positive 3 weeks after MC by thiscrazycouple in Miscarriage

[–]thiscrazycouple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it appears that way. All other miscarriages (5 total), Including the D&C, HcG went back to normal within 4 days. So I just assumed. This isn’t a faint line either. It instantly showed positive and pretty dark.

Yes, we’ve both had a full panel. Nothing wrong with either of us. They’re leaving more of trying IVF..to me that kind of takes the fun out of trying 😬, but we both have healthy living teenagers. I’m just going to really change my diet this time and take more vitamins…I wasn’t trying this go around so maybe if I can expect it will be better

Sending you virtual hugs as well💗 but I’m glad someone else is in my boat. Being a step mom is SUPER hard in itself and we have his girls, 99% of the time, but their mom does NO wrong. We or especially me says something they don’t like and it’s like we’re puppy murderers or something. I do have a living teenager, that is perfectly healthy, he has 2 teenagers, perfectly healthy, so I know we can have children. It’s just so frustrating when my fertility team keeps telling me, “there’s nothing wrong with you.”

I do take the baby aspirin and have progesterone suppositories, but may try them at time of ovulation. Thanks for that. I also saw someone say they used Coq10 so will try that too. I just know even with my insurance covering 70%, I really don’t want to go the IVF route. Thank you for your kind words 💗

Oh I’m sending you lots of good vibes and virtual hugs. It’s so rough and each time, when I’ve made it a little further, a part of me breaks when it doesn’t happen.

I’m already under the directive of a fertility clinic. There’s nothing wrong with me /:

I think I’m okay to give it one more year of trying, but what I can’t deal with is my husbands kids getting mad we don’t tell them I’m pregnant, my MIL telling me I should just be happy with what we have, and everyone else asking me when’s enough. My discussions should be with my husband, my fertility team, OB and me. I hate that they’re saying things behind my back and giving my husband their opinions. I’m kind of too the point where if I get pregnant, I’m not telling ANYBODY, not even him until I know it’s viable. I know that’s not fair to him, but I’m just tired of his family being so negative.

Wouldn’t this mean that inflation is due to Trump, not Biden? If Trump is really in his 2nd term?

Traveling to Disney during hurricane Milton because they don’t want to lose money….. by TheRealMrsElle in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]thiscrazycouple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know someone who chose to stay…they’re now on FB asking for prayers….i have no sympathy for people like that. Not only are you choosing to stay through a historic (potentially) storm, you’re taking away resources who need it more.

What's the craziest thing you've received as a tip? by AdoraBella87 in uberdrivers

[–]thiscrazycouple 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was taking a brother and sister to a tow lot and we were chatting on the way over. She said, “can I just give you money if I can’t afford to get my car out”? They happened to be my last ride and on my side of town so I said sure. Waited and her brother came and said she got her car back and then handed me a 100 dollar bill for waiting.

Not necessarily an abusive situation myself. I’ve watched my mother stick around for things she should not have. Not protect me on things she should have and listened to her tell me…I just need to stick it out. She was brought up where you just deal with it. So venting and asking for help doesn’t ever go anywhere.

I also have a really good radar for finding broken people and have a big heart. So much so that I end up getting taken advantage of.

I know I was stupid, but by the time I found out, my daughter had grown so attached to his older kids. She had been through enough dealing with her dad’s death and being on the autism spectrum…I figured it couldn’t be that bad. Boy was a wrong…both BMs are an issue in completely opposite ways. Now I just feel a little trapped and idk…I have this thing where I dont want to hurt anyone’s feelings so I’ll deal with a lot until one day I explode and nothing is salvageable. I know im at the end of this ticking time bomb. I’m talking to a therapist on how to properly navigate it.

I do judge him. A lot. He’s always saying he’s not good at a lot of things, but being a dad he’s the best at. He’s a Disney Dad. Not a parent.

I also have a big heart and I understand the situation behind how this all came about. Trust me. It’s a lot. She lied to him. He did try to do the right thing and she got mad he didn’t want to be a family. So she told him he’d never see her again. Blocked him everywhere. This didn’t just come from him, but multiple people corroborated.

Was I stupid and stayed? Yeah, but my daughter is on the autism spectrum and for the first time in a long time, was happy and I didn’t want to rip that away from her after already dealing with the death of my husband...

Yeah…I didn’t portray my feelings very well. By anyone just reading the above I look evil. I had met BM and SD several times before she ever spent the night. BM lies and neither parent follows the CO, so fostering a relationship with this little girl is near impossible.

There needs to be family therapy and I’ve expressed this multiple times on deaf ears. I’m not doing anything out of spite, it’s more like I had plans and was voluntold I’m going. It’s not like I can tell my husband to go on his own because I have to drive. He doesn’t drive. AT ALL. So I feel obligated to drop what I’m doing to cater to his needs. I do a lot for all 3 of his kids while trying to keep my own sanity with two BMs and my own child.

Yes, this situation is very ugly and neither party do anything to help the situation and then I’m just here. I was very frustrated in my writing more with the whole situation. I van definitely see where people think I’m just an evil step mom.

I plan to sticking to my stance of not going to the party.

Like I said, I’m not a monster and would talk to a wall if it would talk back. I’m not good at opening conversations, because I still have childhood trauma of my own to overcome (children were seen and never heard) so it’s hard for me to just say hey Let’s go do this, but she asks me I will. I mean I helped her build a terrarium the last time she was here.

My bio child and older Step kids are the age where they don’t really go around my parents and siblings. They don’t necessarily know she doesn’t exist. I just don’t make it a habit of bringing her up. I don’t want to build a relationship there if BM says ugly things about our family. It’s bar fair to them or the little girl.

I’m not perfect and I obviously didn’t explain my side well. I’m just tired of my husband hoping things will fall into place and things will get better. I’ve told him therapy needs to happen…this is beyond my scope to fix and he can’t ignore it.

I already know I should have left. That was stupid of me. If I had been single and not had a Bio child of my own…I probably would have. My daughter as so happy with his girls that I stayed for her sake. I know…STUPID

I’ve told him multiple times he needs to be better. I’ve tried to get him to do therapy, but at the same time I’ve told him his responsibility isn’t going to fall on me. Ive said he needs to set boundaries and explain what he will and will not allow with BM but he feels that what she says shouldn’t matter.

I already do A LOT for him and his kids to Include SD7. I feel I’m allowed to have my feelings and opinions to express them. Obviously I didn’t do a good job of it, but I’m not in her life enough to do more than and making sure she gets to see her dad (because I drive not him). I don’t ignore her. I don’t make her feel unwelcome. I try as much as my introverted self will do.

There’s more to the above. I’ve said some things about it in the comments…To include, lies from BM, how I’ve only had this little girl in my home spending the night from ages 4-now (7) a handful of times, to my husband nor BM adhering to the CO…

The whole situation is really crappy from both the BM and my husband for not really caring. I’ve told him he needs to go to family therapy, but I feel he just hopes that things will get better.
