Someone please help! I hate the feeling of glasses on my face. My eyes often swap from looking through the lense to looking at the lense when I’m wearing them. I also find that while driving the glare is often too much and I definitely can’t drive at night with how the lights reflect off the lenses. I currently wear contacts but my eyes are getting so dry and tired.

I’m in the process of saving up for LASIK, but I’d really love to know if there is a lightweight glasses brand that won’t hurt behind my ears, or put pressure on the bridge of my nose, or cause the focus swapping. I’ve tried about 5-10 different pairs of glasses but they’ve all ended up giving me headaches, even ones professionally fitted. I get my glasses covered by my insurance so I’m willing to spend a good chunk of change to find the right fit. My prescription is -5.00 on both eyes so I usually need a frame that can support that prescription (or get the thinner lenses).

Please help a girl with dry, wrinkly eyeballs

My mother in law is a kind lady, but she’s dumb as a bag of hammers. I’m not even exaggerating, she doesn’t know the difference between, ‘specifically and pacifically’. She thinks juice is healthy because the packaging says 100% juice, and she thinks Africa is a Country. When my baby was about 3 months old we were driving in the car. My husband in the passenger seat, me driving and my MIL in the back next to the car seat. My daughter started crying. Usually when this happens I just try to talk softly to her, or put on soothing music. My daughter didn’t have a good latch from birth and never took to soothers. For some reason my MIL decided to stick a soother I had in my diaper bag into her mouth. My daughter didn’t take it, she just started crying harder. I told her that my daughter doesn’t take soothers and she continued to hold it onto my daughter mouth until she was gagging and crying uncontrollably to the point where I had to find somewhere to pull over- but I was on the highway so I couldn’t. I asked her to stop again and she said, “all babies need to suck.” My husband then told her to take it out of her mouth, and she did for about 2 minutes. Once my daughter started to calm slightly my MIL popped the soother back into her mouth again. By this point we were almost home so I grit my teeth and tried to ignore the situation because I needed to get us home safe.

After this incident anytime my MIL held my daughter she would freak out. I didn’t think babies had the capabilities to remember this sort of thing, but even at 8 month- my daughter will not let me leave her alone with her grandma, and tbh I don’t want to.

Am I overreacting by not letting my child be alone with her grandma?
