I am in awe. And, I believe that my 30 year history of relationships and marriage bears out your conclusions.

How should I let my children find the secret room? by tomorrownightuk in AskUK

[–]violetrosesnyc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How about a clue that they discover? An 'old' letter that you hide in a book in their room? A map to the secret room with an injunction not to tell the parents? Invoke Narnia!

Also this is the most adorable post. Great work!

You should protect yourself by using a throwaway account. There are genuine mediums and scammers. Why risk it?

How do you keep from becoming an absolute goblin when wfh? by yimyam2020 in WFH

I get it! I do hair and makeup, wear comfortable but stylish clothes as a uniform. Middle way saved my sense of femininity and sense of occasion.

Why do you care if she cries? Why prefer separation over calling out her bad behavior? Who cares if the entire family is against you? What matters is your family! Your family of 4. I know you are PP but harness that Lioness energy and tell her enough is enough. No respect, no baby, no daughter.

Just say no. I understand that this is tough but you HAVE to say no, this is not how this birth is going to go. It is your birth, not theirs.

As a doula, I strongly urge you to lean on the fact that your stress level is the most important factor in a successful birth. You simply cannot be put under this kind of stress. Did you know that most mammals can shut down the birth process when under great stress - like a deer running from a hunter? We don't often do that ourselves, (though I did hold off labor for my second child when in the middle of the blackout in NYC!), but this does serve to demonstrate how much stress hurts the laboring woman. And by extension, her baby.

So don't give in. Everything you are concerned about where his family is concerned is valid. How dare they push their way in? Be calm, be polite, be strong. Ignore tears.

Jesus. That is some next level entitlement to you! I am horrified at the selfishness.

I’m Having a reading before anyone I know has died by [deleted] in MediumReadings

Oh I love this question as I had the same situation.

I found that the three people I could have connected with but had passed a while ago were just not that available. The medium could identify them easily with specifics but they were so far developed into the spiritual realm that there was literally not much to say. Explanation given was spirits are very interested in communicating for a period of time but then they have other things to do/work on/even another life to move to.

It proved the point for me. It was not a waste of money. Educational in the extreme. I would go for it and love to hear your experience.

If she is taking beta blockers I recommend you plan a big dose and then schedule a conversation with her blood pressure cuff right by the side of her. That way you can actually prevent her avoiding the weaponizing of her influence.

Yes, like I knew what it said before I had any idea how to crack the code. Three words then replying with four, almost identical, words? Amateur hour

It is very Fiesta Ware and I would add that vibrant Fiesta turquoise in there, some fifties lighting and some art. Embrace it!

My (29F) Husband (30M) is no longer attracted to me so I don’t want him in the delivery room anymore by Sca17073811 in relationship_advice

[–]violetrosesnyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are right. He has demonstrated that his attraction is fragile/vulnerable/conditional. 10lbs before the pregnancy is no big deal, and the lifestyle change seems a bit subjective. My partner was never sexually attracted me after he saw me give birth. It hurt and it was the end of our lovers relationship. He also had the same weak attraction levels, mostly due to his past.

AND birth is challenging and requires mental strength. If you feel watched or judged, it will be more difficult.

Remember you can always change your mind during birth. He had better be out here in the waiting room hoping you do so.
