Okay maybe I’m just stupid but this game is nearly unplayable for me 😭 I’m playing embalming mode since i’m not too interested in the horror aspect and there was no tutorial or anything for controls, so you just kinda had to figure it out. There’s also no real guide other than that clipboard. Trying to figure out what to do and how to do it is a HASTLE. Is anyone else having trouble with this?
This is also one of the very few games I play so maybe it’s just a me issue since i’m not too tech/game savvy

Just curious. At some point in your family tree, it’s so far back that the person listed probably has thousands of descendants and doesn’t really matter that much in terms of ancestry. What point do you usually cut off your research?

I’m posting this here because the last time I posted it to a more relevant subreddit, I was told to “just get an abortion.” Hopefully similar values can garner more understanding from people who have been through something similar.

i found out i was pregnant when i was 3 months pp.
i was just starting to finally enjoy motherhood after a hard battle with postpartum depression. i got on antidepressants and for the first time I could genuinely wake up in the morning, excited that i’d be able to spend the day with my baby.
when i found out i was pregnant, everything just came crashing down.
i lay in bed until 2 pm every day, dreading having to get up and survive until my husband gets home. that entire time my baby is screaming at me (not crying) to get up and give her attention. as soon as i finally get up, i start sobbing. i have to force myself to smile at my baby while she’s playing or talking to me, and sometimes i just break down crying from just having to do that. i don’t clean anymore, and my house looks a mess. my husband tries to pick up after me. sometimes i cook. but i hate it.
i spend my whole day zoned out, absentmindedly watching tv in order to just get through the day. i forget what im even doing when im in the middle of doing it.
i know children are a blessing and I’m supposed to be open to life. but the truth is that the idea of another baby is eating me alive.
i never wanted this pregnancy. it’s stolen everything from me. it’s stolen my motherhood. i used to be so happy looking at my baby, and now when I look at her I can only think about how miserable i will be when i have to take care of her and a newborn i never wanted. i just want to be happy again with the one baby i tried for.
i begged my husband to let me go on birth control because I felt like I had a genuine medical reason to not have more kids but he wouldn’t let me. I wasn’t and am still not in the mental space for more children. I cry at least three times a day.

If anybody has been through something similar please let me know. advice would be great. especially from a fellow catholic who could understand our values.

I’m pregnant and I’m craving one of my favorite meals from a restaurant in my hometown. Thai green curry. If you’ve ever been pregnant, you know the feeling. It literally feels like I can’t live without it. It will unfortunately be on my mind and drive me insane until I have it again. The bad part is that I live in an area with no thai restaurants and the ingredients for the curry aren’t available in any of the grocery stores either! Everything is extremely basic and whatever grows locally. I’m not thai so I don’t know any good substitutions or similar tasting meals to replace it with. Someone please help because i’m going to lose it! Are there any good “amercanized” versions of this curry that will make it taste the same?

i dont wanna write too much because it’s getting late and I feel terrible, but I have a 4 month old and my morning sickness just started at exactly 7 weeks pregnant. I’m freaking out. how will I be able to take care of her?? i have no family and no village to help. all i have is my husband who works. the last time I was pregnant I was so sick I was bedridden and had to be hospitalized because I couldn’t keep food or water down. please someone give me your best advice. i can’t do this alone

I had MISERABLE hg when I was pregnant with my daughter- almost died from dehydration and had to be admitted into a hospital for a few days. I just found out I’m pregnant again and I’m terrified. Am i cooked or were any of you able to skip a pregnancy from hg?

I had a baby a few months ago, and i don’t remember my sciatica being that bad at all. i had a few days where i was uncomfortable but it was manageable. I know a lot of women struggle with sciatica in pregnancy but I don’t remember ever struggling with it for more than a few days🤷‍♀️
fast forward to now and it feels like everything below my torso has just been destroyed. I have zero core strength, I can’t cross my legs without my pelvis aching, and worst of all, I have DEBILITATING sciatica. It hurts so f-king bad. it gets to the point where im bed-bound sometimes and debating on getting a mobility cane.
i know a lot of people say to walk it off and exercise but that’s the thing that makes it flare up. anything more than a few steps a day and i become paralyzed.
any other mothers going through/went through this? what’s your experience?

no, your badly behaved 2 year old climbing on a table and screaming isn’t “just a baby.” that’s just a result of you being selfish and not letting your kids grow up.

EDIT: for context I’m also a parent and will be holding other parents to the same standards ☺️

How would you describe your life with 2 under 2? I’ve been sobbing all day while my husband tries to console me :(

I don’t know what to do. I’m devastated right now. It honestly feels like God has abandoned me and is laughing in my face right now.

I’m currently 3 months postpartum. When I first got pregnant, I was extremely sick. I threw up close to 12 times a day and eventually had to be hospitalized because I couldn’t keep food or water down (was later diagnosed with hyperemesis graviderum). For the remainder of my pregnancy, I was always sick with something. Colds, flus, infections, etc. It was like my immune system completely disappeared. After all of that, I had a very traumatic birth. I had 3 failed epidurals and once she was born, I almost died from infection and fever. My postpartum depression was so bad I started hallucinating and had to go on antidepressants.

Safe to say, my pregnancy and birth experience was hellish to say the least. I love my baby girl so much though, and I for sure wanted to have more babies in the future. Not this soon though.

I just found out I’m pregnant again and I’ve been losing it. My husband and I were trying to use NFP as much as possible but my cycle was super irregular and it was hard to keep track.

I genuinely don’t know what I’m going to do. How am I going to take care of my baby if I’m throwing up 12 times a day? How am I going to raise 2 babies at once? I don’t even have a family around to help. How am I going to be dealing with tantrums and a newborn at the same time?? I’m not ready in the slightest. My body isn’t ready.

I know it’s wrong. I know my husband will never forgive me. I know I will never forgive myself. And I know it’s highly unlikely that God will forgive me if I knowingly commit a sin. But I can’t do this. I feel trapped and like I have no choice. It really feels like my only option right now is to terminate.

I just had a baby 11 weeks ago and finding time to do anything I enjoy has been a hassle. Art is my passion and I can’t imagine never being able to do it again ☹️ I’ve tried doing digital art to save the time and mess but I don’t enjoy it as much. How do you find the time??

So I have an 11 week old daughter that I’m pretty much solely responsible for. I have her for like 22-23 hours and my husband might take care of her for a few hours after work and during the weekend. I feel like it’s safe to say I’m really fucking tired and every day it just feels like I’m surviving, not living. I don’t have grandma or a cousin to just pass the baby to when I get a little tired like my in-laws do.

With the in-laws knowing how tired I am, they told us they wanted us to host the 4th of July. I was iffy about it but eventually decided I’d work extra hard to cook and prepare everything on top of taking care of the baby, and my husband went out of his way to pay $250 for it all. After hours of me cooking and preparing the house, only TWO of them showed up because they were “tired” (they don’t have a baby). They pretty much scammed us.

2 weeks later and they want to host a surprise birthday party on a Saturday for my husband’s grandma, the one day out of the whole week that I at least get a few hours to myself. My husband insists that we attend, but I’m going to be completely honest and blunt here- with how tired I am, I couldn’t give less of a shit whose birthday it is. You have a birthday every year. I genuinely just want to spend my Saturday taking a few hours to myself to relax. Not trying to impress in-laws who barely even like me. And with how they ditched us on the 4th of July, I feel like my decision is justified, even if the main reason is because of my exhaustion.

Is this mean? Or should I go to the party?
