Babywise. I’m very type A and like to plan so this book helped me understand how to make a schedule for my baby. And she was STTN at 8 weeks.

I enjoyed Like a Mother. More about being pregnant than taking care of a baby. And I think there’s some nice tricks in happiest baby on the block- I think there might be videos on that now.

Basically just bought all of these - thanks for the recos. I’ve had so many moments the past month where I had no idea there were so many rules! I thought it was just stay away from booze! I went into a hot tub and found out after that can endanger the baby / lowers fertility in men? Other random ones like don’t dye your hair, get your nails done, more than a cup of coffee, no soft cheeses, sushi, uncooked deli meats... any others I should be aware of?

Also, no unwashed fruits and veggies especially the ones that come from the ground! No raw prosciutto, only cooked eggs (same goes for dessert that are made with raw eggs for example tiramisu). Did u get the toxoplasmosis blood test?

My fiancé will NOT stop talking about her ex. After I found out they were texting arguing she justified it by saying it was about the dogs and not them. Even though Her social media is full of his pics. She still sends him $50 a month for dog food, still goes to work right by his place and suspiciously needs keys. I try to bring it up and I get dismantled for being too mean and making “false accusations.” How much more obvious can it be?

My confession is I have always had very competetive and hardworking close friends around me with whom I felt amazing to compete, do more and be the best. A few years back we all made to different countries, now I achieve far less than my potential and find it hard to be as efficient as before. How to fix this?

Everyone who I want to like me or to hangout with doesn’t respond to my texts or tells me they are too busy. This weekend I reached out to 12 people to see if they wanted to grab coffee or a drink or go for a walk. The number of people who just didn’t respond astounded me. I ended up eating dinner in bed by myself and getting brunch on my own.

The only people who reach out to me, I don’t want to hangout with. I don’t have the same interests as them and have to try really hard… cont below

Just taking the opportunity to get current. Sober 3 years and 10 months. This past couple weeks have been stressful and my mind slipped into fantasizing about my drug of choice. Last week I flipped out at some of my wife's family. I did an amends and I think time will heal this one. It's all up to HP. Although I have neglected my morning practice this week, I'm practicing self compassion with positive self talk.

How do i find out if I will be happier divorced or more unhappily staying married. 2 kids; 2 & 4 YO. They don’t hear the arguments after bed time and don’t understand the bruises yet but I know it’s just a matter of time. It would be so much harder not seeing my kids everyday than living with the pain, loneliness and lost friendships. But I’m tired. And so sad. Lost. So alone. Does anyone have something that turned it around? He changed? You changed so he did? Ayahuasca retreat maybe?

The other para is doing 3 and I and doing 2 with IEPs!!! How am I supposed to handle this in a professional manner virtually? Plus she is frustrated b/c o can’t explain everything. I keep telling her it’s all new to me too. Grace is not a word in her vocab. And I am feeling graceless.
