I’ve been telling my devices small lies every day. Harmless lies.. like I’ll research symptoms I don’t have. I ask ChatGPT to provide an itinerary for my friends coming overseas from Lebanon when no one is visiting. Now I am pretending to be interested in sewing. Things like that here and there. In around 6 months, I should give birth to a fake baby.

I don’t if this helps the cause. I’m just sick of feeling so predictable to these devices. It’s soo suffocating.

When my son was born, he wouldn’t latch on. In the chaos of the first 24 hours, he got dehydrated, lost weight and when he cried no sound came out. His skin got dry. I gave him formula. I saw my hungry baby get full after a feeding and it healed my heart.

Ya Allahhhh please heal the broken souls that are carrying out these unfathomable horrors.

I had another miscarriage ladies.

First one 6weeks, second one at 8weeks

I failed at pregnancy and I even managed to fail the miscarriage.

A whole week of bleeding, 2 ER visits and lots of misoprostol and still no clue if my uterus is clean.

I am useless at work and leaning on people to cover my butt.

I am wanting to get back into self-destructive habits to cope.

Yesterday he was hysterical after we told him YouTube. He got addicted to Paw Patrol and it started impacting his ability to enjoy other fun activities. He wanted it in the morning to eat and after school and before bedtime. Constant fights about 5 more minutes.

The next day he woke and hasn’t even asked about it! The teachers said he had great behavior at school, his after school nanny said they enjoyed a great time at the park and he wasn’t rushing her to go home for paw patrol.

After work we had the best time ever exploring the woods near our house. His laughter was louder, tiny stuff entertained him like sticks and rocks.

It’s so easy. Just delete it, get through the initial fight

I got a positive pregnancy test and shared it with few people and them the word spread. Then I had my period today (5 weeks) and then I got a negative pregnancy test and I’m so dissappointed. The worst part is that I have to share the bad news with all these people. I am a moron.

Just curious how many of us are moving that way because watching suffering on our smartphones drove us to insanity? I know we all have different algorithms so just curious if anyone else is here for this reason.

He rolls into bed late as usual and we end up chatting and laughing. I turn around to start snuggling up to him and he unleashes the most annoying jokes ever. Reminding me of cringey moments I hate remembering, pulling on my hair like we’re kids, annoying tickling, non stop questions. He was literally trying to kill the mood to snap me out of it because he can read me like a book. I know he understood what I was up to. I know why he did all this.. it’s not the third Saturday of the month so we can’t have sex. I just masturbated right before this whole incident and was still horny. I’m still horny now even through all my seething and anger. I just want a fucking sex life.

On my journey through parenthood, I learnt how to Mom “the millenial way” so to speak. I scour the internet for the perfect, reviewed content to give me the “TLDR” of what the best practice is.

TCB for newborn sleep advice, solid starts for feeding, speech sisters for speech, big little feelings to navigate toddlerhood, safe in the seat for car safetly...

Short catchy videos, straight to the point, takes into account we’re busy...

Is there something that’s easily digestable for couple’s therapy? I don’t have the energy to read Gottman’s book about the 4 horseman and I don’t have the time/money for a full blown customizable weekly counselling session.

Is there any generic content geared

In between full time jobs, child care troubles, housework, and trying to sneak in 30 min a day for ourselves, our marriage has died. I don’t think he cares. With what little energy I had left, I took a nice hot bath and wore something nice. He comes to bed 2 hours later and doesn’t even look at me, just plops over and turns his back to me... It’s not like I have infinite energy to make more and more efforts. That was it. That was my best. I didn’t interrupt his shows, I waited patiently so he could get his hobbies in. Every single night is a missed opportunity. I could have sex every night if I had a willing partner. This is not me. I’m a shell of myself now. Just an undesirable mother with

Update: I told her I noticed she placed him on his side with his arm tucked in and explained that babies should always be placed oh their back unswaddled at this age. If they choose to roll, they can stay that way but we shouldn’t trap his arm like that. She got offended that I replayed the footage. I told her that wail was unsettling to me and I did replay the footage. She basically double down that in her “professional” opinion this is fine. I said ok then if her “years of experience” are trumping my rules then nothing further to discuss. Thank you all for the advice. So hard to listen to your gut when you really need childcare but this is definitely no longer acceptable. This has been bui

I love my baby so much! Every moment I am looking at him is joyful. Especially now in the summer, walks are just more beautiful. 6 months in and he keeps changing and getting cuter. Does it ever get old? Even when I’m exhausted I still always wants to kiss him. It’s like butterflies you get in the beginning of a new relationship but they seem to be getting stronger each day with new memories.

Title says it all really. Whenever someone is watching my 6 month old I work at a very intense pace. I don’t fuck around. My husband walks into my office for a chit chat I ask him politely to leave. I only have 6 hours in the day for work so I make every second count. I’m always prioritizing so that when my shift ends I don’t need to log back on. Most days I do put him to bed and continue working while exhausted. Is this how life as a working mom is supposed to be? I can’t be on facebook for 5 minutes without missing a deliverable?
