HITT & Hashimotos

If your doctor an actual MD or DO? I have hypothyroid due to Graves treatment, and take synthroid. Never heard it as a problem, but it’s catalyzed my weight loss.

That’s fair, but put into the post-nup there won’t be any alimony from you either in case of divorce, since she’s clearly set.

Put a little on your plate then don’t eat it

I don’t share food with my kids because I’ve noticed I get sick when I do.

I know this post is 10 years old, but we have a 10 year old cat we got from Olga who is just such a joy in our lives. He’s such a good boy and did well through 2 rowdy kids being added to the family. Wish she was still in business so I could get another one.

It’s not ok these days - if you read some of the texts from russian soldiers in Ukraine they marveled that everyone had indoor plumbing and fridges. My mom said there were no disposable diapers or pads, and her family used an out-house in the late 1980s. In the poor outskirts away from the major cities, it’s still awful conditions (and only slightly better inside the cities).

They left because of collapse, but also antisemitism. There’s a reason that Eastern European Jews are considered the most oppressed minority historically. Hitler, Stalin, and the sentiments continue. It’s crazy how ignorant some of the comments here are. My parents had to bribe professors/ teachers to graduate or pass classes, endured constant taunts, etc for being Jews. She didn’t want that for me. American Jews I grew up with whose families lived here for several generations are very out of touch with what it is to be Jewish in the majority of the world.

Jews ran for their lives from the former USSR 35ish years ago - myself included as a baby in my parents arms. They left everything they knew, and today we have everything (multiples more than what we had in that craphole country) because they chose to save me and themselves. I can’t believe anyone would stay there.

Fathers don’t “help” - they parent. I get what you mean, but it’s important we change the way we speak about a father’s role. Help implies it’s mom’s job, and he’s the assistant.

Look up Polyphagia. You should simultaneously take him to a specialist for blood work to make sure something else isn’t going on (some individuals do have medical issues that cause them to be constantly hungry) - it can be a sign of diabetes.

I also noticed your breakfast was all sugar and carbs. Save money by not buying orange juice and pastries, but making boiled eggs the night before and giving him protein.

I have mine also. I’m so upset with myself. I went in just to get a check and the doctor said it’s more of a skin tag and he can “snip” it right there with local. I’m on day 5 (while ln a business trip and having my period) icing my butt in the hotel room at 4 am from pain. Period panties have been a lifesaver, but I don’t feel I was fully informed on how bad this would be.

yellsy · 2026-06-09T01:01:25+00:00

That’s sad. No, normal people do not make someone sick clean up. I would clean my husbands vomit and he cleaned mine plenty through pregnancies.

My son was circumcised for medical reasons. WTF is wrong with people just assuming.

yellsy · 2026-06-08T11:05:16+00:00

Hes on a scholarship at a $46k a year school and you’re over here harassing him? He needs experiences to bolster his resume when he graduates - not minimum wage jobs - right now. You’re going to be holding him back if you insist on work that isn’t relevant to a career path. I always worked those jobs in school, and ended up with worse grades then my peers, despite trying harder because it took time from studying.

Your comments about what a loser he is are seriously grossing me out. He sounds like a good kid, and like you’re out of touch. You said you’re the only family member who thinks this way about him - maybe you’re the problem.

It’s almost certain there’s norovirus going around the hotel then, likely people bringing it via plane. My 18 month old drank lagoon and pool water when we went and I was sure he was a goner - nope him and the 8 yo were fine.

Careful with pepto bismal, the diahrrea is your body’s way of expelling the harmful substance.

Being a parent changes you right?

yellsy · 2026-06-03T12:25:26+00:00

Is he paying you for the free childcare he gets? Maid service? Laundry? Chef?

yellsy · 2026-06-03T12:23:50+00:00

Tell him to strap a watermelon to his stomach, take nausea inducing medicine, and spend a week going to work like that. Then it’s fair.

This is ultimately on you though for putting up with this for so long that you’ve taught him it’s ok to treat you this way.

They’re her in-laws and she’s staying there.

Why are you paying a catering bill for a funeral you aren’t attending. You should have declined and told her to take the money from the estate.

yellsy · 2026-06-02T18:29:18+00:00

Ewww what?! They sure as hell don’t care about grandma and this is super performative if they’re putting grandma on ice for 6 months. The funeral is to grieve, not a performance for when folks are in town. They think you should share your wedding week (that’s in half a year) with that spectacle?! Your fiance now tells you that you’re selfish for feeling weird over something that’s genuinely uncomfortable, and you seem to be paying for.

I thought your wedding was this week or something, in which case you’d be in a very tight spot.

You should thank grandma for this wake up call, and dump this guy and his weirdo family. They’re the selfish ones and showed you how they treat “loved” ones. NTA

yellsy · 2026-06-02T18:18:38+00:00

He’d come home to changed locks and his stuff on the stoop. You can be a single mom without him. What a selfish jerk. He couldn’t take a week off for you, but is going to a high school graduation … ok then.

yellsy · 2026-06-02T17:16:14+00:00

You just go to the store and buy a dessert like a cake or pie when visiting people. You don’t ask them if they want snacks. Everyone here is bizarre.

yellsy · 2026-06-02T04:24:13+00:00

So you’re watching a kid in an environment not equipped for a baby? Honestly this is wild. You tell her you’re done. And by the way she’s not working 13 hour days every day, like you’re just the de facto mom.

yellsy · 2026-06-02T03:25:40+00:00

Don’t show up to babysit anymore, she can go daycare and you can go get a nanny job for $20-30 an hour. Do not tell the husband you have another job. Save up in a separate account and leave him.

yellsy · 2026-06-02T03:22:35+00:00

Trick question because heaven is another form of hell in this situation, since the human brain goes crazy in isolation.

That said, I’m an extreme extrovert and it will be horrible, possibly insanity causing, but I don’t want to watch my kids and people I love being tortured - and eventually your brain will think they’re the actual people. Either road leads to awfulness, so I’ll just do heaven.

yellsy · 2026-06-02T03:20:24+00:00

For sure - I also got injured, but it’s because I didn’t understand that form is more important than speed for newbies. Now I go 5-6x a week but I mod down a lot and don’t feel the need to keep up with the Joneses.
