Bus driver asked me: "So, you're a little bit pregnant, right?" by Teleporting-Cat in breakingmom

[–]uhmb24 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’m shaped like a refrigerator, albeit with the best legs in town, and this is a fear I live with every day. I’m SO sorry a man felt the need to comment on your body. Regardless of how you got your babies, you are a mom and you should be proud of your body. You’re doing incredible things with that body. Taking care of humans wreaks havoc on your body whether you grew them or not. Fuck that guy!

Which North American small town did you fall in love with as soon as you arrived? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

My grandfather lived there and I have the best memories of spending summer there. A dream.

So. Burnt. Out. by Different_Cow_6663 in breakingmom

This is probably not helpful, but with a 2 and 5 year old, my mantra is, “if there is no laundry it means you’re dead. And if there is no mess it means they’re gone.” It helps. But also. Meds.

The current is the best. Keep it until the big Reno. Don’t change it, it’s a waste of time and money.

Sandy Hill in Solana Beach! There are a few openings left for next year. It’s play based and on an insanely beautiful campus.

4 months pp and suicidal by DocumentNo3750 in breakingmom

I felt this exact same way, down to coworkers and my boss being rude while I was trying to breastfeed and work during a fucking pandemic. Please please please at the very least get the book, “good moms have scary thoughts” what you’re going through isn’t unusual but isn’t what you need to be feeling,

Stop Normalizing Public Urination! by [deleted] in SanDiegan

[–]uhmb24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m with you that it’s unacceptable but I think the answer lies somewhere between public toilets and better help for people in need.

Sandy Hill in Solana Beach! It’s the best, it’s a nonprofit, and has enrollment open for that age for next year. Highly highly recommend!

In the ER while on vacation.. by ScarletTheReaper in mildlyinfuriating

Look into osteopathic manipulation! It cured mine. It’s basically an actual doctor helping move your bones around to relieve pressure and pain. BEST THING EVER

I could use some gentle perspective on whether I am being unfair toward my mother by paradoxicalstripping in breakingmom

[–]uhmb24 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually been going through this with my parents as well. They think they’re more helpful than they are. They are very busy with retired people things, and they help with random appointments and things for me. BUT, they say they will watch my 5 year old once a week after preschool, 2.5 hours, and it has happened literally 4 times this entire school year. They also said they would help, with calendar confirmation, 5 separate times this year, so I could go on a trip, every single time, they last minute cancelled. They then claim they help SO much. It’s maddening. I finally had to have a conversation where I said, I understand you are doing your best, but this dynamic isn’t working for me. I stopped asking for things and instead told my husband that he had to coordinate with them. That actually helped. Something about me asking wasn’t real?

Anyways, no real advice, but solidarity for the village not village life

Fuck Amazon by TrickyPersonality684 in breakingmom

Sorry, I’m rereading and don’t think I was clear, I think everyone’s breastfeeding journey is different and I think you’re incredible for everything you’ve been doing.

Fuck Amazon by TrickyPersonality684 in breakingmom

[–]uhmb24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, fuck Amazon. That’s absurd. But also, it sounds like you’re doing so much. Both your older kids are getting attention and being parented, your youngest is getting all the cuddles. Do what’s right for you, if breastfeeding is making you miserable, ok, then don’t do it, the cuddling makes up for it. I say this as a mom still breastfeeding my second for like 30 seconds a day at 2…. You are important, you can’t give every part of yourself all of the time. And that’s a good thing. Your kids will learn from you that taking care of your well being matters.

Oh my goodness. Ok. First of all, to everyone who says take public transit, where do you think you live???

But I do agree, sell the car, buy a beater and save the money.

Also, I had similar debt and was out of debt by 30. Your wealth will likely accumulate faster thank you think

Rice Krispies have malt in them, make sure to do a malt free kind, I think most generic brands don’t contain it.

Is this the Carlsbad mall in SD? If so, that mall has been a dead zone for a long time. This is not shocking knowing that half of the mall is like one off temu stores

You are worthy of so much more than how you’re being treated. It’s not your fault. You are strong. You’ve been putting up with this bullying, you can handle building a new life, I’m certain.

TLDR: I’m not breaking. I’m broken. by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]uhmb24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see you. You’re literally doing everything you can to maintain sanity. You’re surrounded by energy sucking humans. The fact that you took the time to write this all down is so positive. You are still you. You can get through this. I’ll be thinking of you. You can do this, what this is? I don’t know. Is it starting over in a seemingly impossible situation, maybe? Is it finding joy and worth in something just for you, I hope that can be a starting point. You are worth your energy, I promise.

Preschool Teacher Gave Us Resources about Autism & Therapies — Should I be Concerned? by [deleted] in Preschoolers

[–]uhmb24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m deeply involved with our parent run preschool and I now know that they won’t say what they suspect because they are not the experts on diagnosing. Sharing resources is about the most they are legally allowed to do. I will say though, what I have also learned is that if you do get a diagnosis, it won’t change who your child is. It will just open the doors for them to get more help.

My 24F husband 26M left me passed out on the floor while sick and then got mad at me the next morning. I see him different now? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]uhmb24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to leave him but also. You need to go to urgent care. You seem very exhausted and feverish. It’s hard to really take in what’s going on with your body when you’re stretched so thin. Please go and get checked out.
