question

8.5 weeks pregnant. Went for my first U/S, no heart beat and measuring at 7 weeks. My husband travels for work and will only be home for 3 days in the next week and a half which means during the time he’s gone 1-no showers 2-minimal time to sit on the toilet 3-no time to sit on the toilet alone...

I’m the parent of a 15 month old boy who has about 20-30 “words” that he’ll say unprompted, but many share the same sounds. He can say b, p, m, n, d, k, g but will use “gah” or some variation of it to refer to various things. He also doesn’t have the “ee” or “ey” or “ai” vowels and all his words...

Hey All, My girlfriend and I have been together for about 7 months and I spend a lot of time with her 10 year old daughter, V. About me I'm an assistant principal at an elementary school that serves grades K - 6. I met my gf because she asked me to tutor V. I've been tutoring her for an...

So my 18 y/o brother has always lived a very sheltered life (with the exception of living through my parents horrible relationship etc. so he’s a little scarred). My sister and I are sort of like mom figures to him, and he’s been living with us for a bit since he can’t go back to school due to...

As the title states, the more I read about how to interpret the test strips, the more confused I get. I’m new to testing and test daily from CD 12 on (I have a 31 day cycle). I am able to feel something around my ovulation and my cervical mucus changes. Last cycle, I had these symptoms on CD 21...

We recently got a family membership to the local YMCA and childcare is from 8 to 11 am and 5-7 pm. I guess I’m wondering what kind of workout routines are being done? I’ve also already checked out r/fitness for beginner tips but I’d like insight from y’all

Consistently. Online. Publicly. It’s giving emotional incest. She’s leaving a digital footprint verbalizing how she thinks her son is more handsome than her husband. To even compare the two is a thought that personally would never cross my mind, but I digress. Even if she was joking, I would...

Not a parent, and personally didn’t have this problem, my parents seemed to let go by the time I turned 18. I’ve just come across a lot of stories of parents controlling their kids well into their 30s and just less severe but similar stories of parents refusing to give up control of their...

This is a question especially for SAHP who put much time and effort into education (degrees, certifications) and/or building their careers (dedicated years and gained lots of skills and work experience). My husband and I have discussed it at length even before the birth of our child (now 2...

We have 3 kids, 1 who I gave birth to and 2 my husband had before he met me. We have had custody of them since my daughter was 2 weeks old, and because I went from mom of 0 to mom of 3 in 1 month, I didnt want anymore kids. I was 23 when I had my daughter. Now im 32, and I want to have another...

Please remove if pregnancy related questions are not allowed. Genetic testing showed I'm an intermediate carrier for fragile x - so very very low risk and child will at most be a carrier according to my genetic counselor. I'm 35, only want the one child so this feels like my only shot. I know...

Clarification, I'm 17 years old until mid December and have earned my high school diploma. My dad has been able to live comfortably recently because he went back to school later in life and is now working at a hospital as a medical professional. For the last month I've been working at a...

When I was just a mere lurker in this sub in the TTC days, I read that extremely vivid dreams were a thing in pregnancy, but wow. Typically, I barely remember my dreams. But now? I’m waking up 3-4 times a night in cold sweats and emerging from some of the most vivid and cinematic dreams that...

My son is twelve and wets the bed constantly. I thought it would start to slow down by now, but there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. He’s been to his pediatrician and urologist and everything checks out: he’s completely healthy. We’ve tried DDAVP, alarms, checked out constipation, and did a...

He talks back, doesn’t listen, fights with his 1 year old brother, has major attitude. Recently we’ve been having issues with him going into our fridge or pantry constantly while we’re sleeping and taking any foods he can find back to his room to eat. Every day I find new wrappers and trash from...

I’m [25F] live with my boyfriend, E [25M], and his family. We’ve been together for 3 years. I’ve lived with them for maybe a year. Background on me: I don’t have kids. But I love kids. In my elementary school year book it asks “what do you want to be when you grow up?” My answer “mom.”...

Me and my wife just had a baby and I have a 5 year old cat who I love (almost as much as my son) xP. My cat and I have been best buds for 5 years now and well every night he comes to sleep on me. Since we have a small apartment, our baby sleeps next to us in our crib. Well my wife loves cats...

PLEASE read the whole post, or see TLDR. I'm 18, but my sister is 4, nearly 5 in a few days. She is extremely intelligent, and so, so gifted: she can read, write some, identify every letter, number, shape, animal-- even things I don't even know. She'll talk about science concepts that no kid...
