My 10.5 month old has begun grinding her teeth…… HEEELLLLPPLLLP😭😭😭😭😭😭
Anyone else baby hate purées/yogurt type things? Not sure why. She started them at 6m and used to love them and suddenly stopped. It makes my life a little more difficult for snacks/meals sometimes haha
Edit : she eats 3 meals a day + 2 snacks! I should have worded it better. I just meant it would help add to her meals sometimes or just for snacks. She haaaaates yogurt for some reason and those little squeezable packets I see so many moms loving them for their children!
My daughter is going through a huge fussy stage right now where she doesn’t want to do anything but free roam my house. She has a playpen area with all of her toys, and she will stay in it for about 20 minutes at a time before she gets tired of it.
She only seems content when we’re out shopping, (of course lol) or when she’s free roaming in my house and I just cannot stand having to follow her around everywhere and never getting to just have a second to relax other than when she naps. My house is not baby proofed and we’re moving next week so everything is just an absolute mess.
I don’t have a car during the day unless I bring my husband to work so we’re stuck at home all day, and live in Florida so going outside in the yard isn’t really ideal unless we have a pool 🥲 ugh.
LOCATION: Florida, US
I need legal advice on an ongoing harassment/stalking situation involving my partner’s ex….we may finally have evidence connecting her to it
My partner and his ex have a court-ordered parenting plan. She has withheld my partner’s parenting time for a very long time despite the order, and we are currently trying to figure out enforcement/modification.
There are also serious concerns about things the child has disclosed to us regarding his mother’s home. He recently visited us for the **first time in nearly two years**, and we are trying to handle those concerns through the proper channels without putting him in a worse position.
The bigger issue for me personally is his mother’s longstanding behavior & obsession toward me.
Years ago, she showed up at my workplace multiple times and was eventually trespassed. I have police documentation/logs from incidents involving her. I have also personally gone to the police station seeking advice about obtaining a stalking/harassment order. The problem has always been that although there has been a clear pattern of behavior, we never really had the kind of direct evidence that could actually get her in trouble.
I also have screenshots documenting her repeatedly **vilifying me to my partner, members of his family, and other people**, as well as making allegations about me.
At one point, she filed an **emergency custody motion containing allegations that I had sent the child pornographic images involving her, who is an adult-content performer. This accusation took place when I was 8 months pregnant, and the child was supposed to be coming to our babyshower but then wasn’t allowed because of this.** This was extremely serious, especially because my partner was already not being allowed to see the child at that point, yet these allegations were presented as a basis for emergency custody action.
Those allegations were completely false and I actually believe that she made it all up to have an excuse to withhold the child. Nothing ever came of it, despite her saying the “fbi is involved”……
Then things escalated again.
During the child’s recent visit with us, I made a Facebook post because our dog had killed a cat and I was asking for help rehoming him or determining whether euthanasia was necessary. The post resulted in people becoming extremely hostile toward me, and I received **death threats** from people online for suggesting I put my dog down. It was crazy to say the least.
Somehow, the child’s mother found that post. I’m not surprised by it though given that I know she seriously tracks my every move. The child even confirmed this completely on his own, and showed us how she uses his other mobile device he has at home to watch my tiktoks, my snapchats, etc. he showed us how frequently she searches my name. He said it weirds him out.
Around this same time, she had recently learned our **new home address through information associated with the parenting plan. Within days of learning our address, it was apparently being given to people who were attacking me online.**
We now have a **forwarded message** containing information about me/our situation. My address. My DOB. My phone number. Same with all of my husbands information. And false accusations, begging her name not be revealed as she is ‘deeply afraid of us’. The forwarded message itself does not show her name, but the person who forwarded it to us **confirmed that it came from her**, and the information in the message lines up with information that points back to her.
I understand that a forwarded message without her name displayed isn’t perfect evidence. However, this is the first time we have something that appears to directly connect her to the people/information involved.
There is also a broader history of her monitoring/searching for me online and information about our lives somehow making its way to her or from her to other people.
I am genuinely afraid at this point. She also has a lot of money, and with how far she’s taken things, I can’t lie I have thought she would go as far as hiring someone to take me out. I also need to mention I have a 10 month old baby whose safety I also need to seriously consider. This isn’t simply a custody disagreement or two people who don’t like each other. I strongly believe this woman has a mental illness.
I have years of police logs, screenshots, messages, the parenting plan, dates, documentation of the custody issues, and now this forwarded message with confirmation from the recipient that it came from her.
I’m just worried that I’m not going to be take serious and this woman will continue to get away with her sick obsession and harassment/fixation on me. I am tired of her slandering my name. I am tired of her being so fucking weird. I am tired of worrying about my daughter’s safety over this all. This has been ongoing since 2018. I have never done anything to fight back because I am just always defeated, and somehow she always 10 steps ahead and twists all this stuff that she does to me and acts like it’s ME doing it to HER. I think she has convinced herself somehow that’s what’s going on. Idk but it’s all fucked and I can’t keep fighting this and my mental health can’t take it anymore. It fucks with my head so bad. To have someone you don’t know be so fixated on you, and your every move, and details, is truly scary, and until it happens to you, you just don’t really understand the way it consumes you.

I’m looking for advice from anyone familiar with Florida harassment/stalking law, protective orders, or interstate custody issues. I’m trying to figure out what we should do next because this has been going on for years and has recently escalated.
My partner and his ex have a court-ordered parenting plan from New Hampshire. We no longer live in NH; we are in Florida, and she and their child are also in Florida. She has withheld my partner’s parenting time for a very long time despite the order, and we are currently trying to figure out enforcement/modification.

Going to try and make this as short as possible. There is this woman who I’ve unfortunately been involved with since I was 18. It goes waaayyyy back and it’s all over a man.
Last year, when I was 8 months pregnant, this woman made an accusation to my husband (it’s his ex, they have a son together who is now a preteen) saying I sent her son explicit photos of HER (she’s a pornstar) to their sons phone. I would need to go back and find the original messages, but had continuously gone and said something so serious that I never did. To my husband, and to my husband’s mother. Via text. This has prevented my husband from being able to see their son, because for a while she was saying she doesn’t want me around him. Nothing ever came of it obviously because it simply never happened. It was a way (one of her many lies) withhold their son because she was mad about who knows what. Interested to see if this could be a case at all, and any input on how I would need to approach it.
At which point did you confirm that you were one & done? Or those who DID have more, do you regret it? Currently 10 months in, and I love the idea of having 1 more when my daughter is 4, but then I think about starting over again and being postpartum. And my daughter was the EASIEST baby as a newborn. But still, I don’t think anything sounds worse than that. Not to mention, being pregnant again.
I’m very much someone who doesn’t like HUGE change, so after I had my daughter I truly went through a lot of grieving for the life I used to have with my husband, and all the feelings really. Now that we’re 10 months in, we have time together back at night to watch shows & hangout, and it doesn’t feel like survival mode. I truly don’t think anything sounds worse than having a baby again to go through ALL of that. I LOOOVE the stage we’re at now, watching my daughter love me, learn, become her own person, etc. I feel like I’m truly leaning towards one & done. I also love having some of my independence back.

This is going to be a long one…. So lock in if you need a good story.
I have been with my fiancé since 2018. When we got together, his son was only 3.5 years old. He is now 12. I have been in his life for most of his childhood, and I have always loved him like family, and he’s always told me he loves me too etc.
From the beginning, my fiancé’s relationship with his ex has been extremely high conflict. When they first had the baby, she went on a month long ‘trip’ to do ‘modeling’ while my fiance stayed at her parents to take care of the baby, only to find out she was doing porn. 😅 my fiance has lotttsssss of trauma from her and what that all did to him.
Before I was even involved, she allegedly harassed his previous girlfriend and would allwaayysss try to get him to cheat. Once we started dating, I immediately didn’t like her because the way she acted. Would be super touchy with my fiance, always trying to FaceTime him, and would wear clothes basically that made her appear naked. Just very sexual and a bit much off the bat. A few months in she then began making constant posts about us online, portraying him as a terrible person and a “deadbeat dad.” The reality I have witnessed for years is completely different. I GREW UP with no father. I would never stand for a man to not be FULLY involved in his child’s life. Nor would I have had a child with him had he ever made me question his ability being a father. He has always wanted to be involved in his son’s life, has always tried to show up, and has always fought to maintain that relationship despite how hard she’s made it.
Over the years, there have been so many incidents that have gone far beyond what I consider normal co parenting disagreements.
When his son was younger and they had a rotating parenting schedule, there were multiple times during my fiancé’s parenting weeks where his ex would show up wherever we were — grocery stores, Walmart, shopping, etc. — and literally just come up to us and TAKE him, cutting his parenting time short. There was also a time when his son was at the daycare where I worked during my fiancé’s parenting week because we were both working, and his ex showed up there trying to take him. She would always get the child all worked up before he came to us, making it seem like coming to dads was such a bad thing. It was a scene EVERY time back in the day, and she always made us do it at the police station.
One of the most upsetting situations happened when his son was at my mom’s house during my fiancé’s parenting time. His ex contacted my cousin claiming we had “kidnapped” him, saying she couldn’t find him, and asked for my mom’s address. She then showed up at my mom’s house with her husband while my mom was outside playing with him. There was a confrontation, yelling, and she took him from the yard. It was a traumatic experience for my family.
After that situation, I reacted because I was angry and overwhelmed. At this point, she had been causing HUGE problems every time it was my fiancés week with the child. I called her and messaged her repeatedly and threatened her because I was SO fucking fed up with the constant shit!!!!! Don’t involve my family!!! Oh, this was during the time there was a temporary ‘no contact order’ between her and I because I used to always message her when she would cause problems. (Dumb I know, I was 18, I had no clue what I was getting involved with. I’m just someone who will die and go to war for people I love)
Since then, fast forward to 2024/now, there have been repeated accusations made against me, my fiancé, and now even his mother. There always seems to be another allegation or another reason why we are portrayed as unsafe or bad people, despite years of us trying to be involved and maintain a relationship with him. I have always remained blocked on the kids phone, and there’s been times he’s messaged me and I couldn’t respond because I didn’t want to get in trouble for who knows what with her.
There have also been repeated issues involving the parenting plan. There have been hundreds of situations where we feel decisions were made without my fiancé’s knowledge or agreement, including major things like travel. His son has traveled internationally multiple times without my fiancé being aware beforehand, despite there being a parenting plan in place requiring my fiancé to know these important things. There is so much she hasn’t followed, but continues to come at my fiancé now for ‘financials’, they’re supposed to split all medical, but she pays THOUSANDS out of pocket (because she has it like that and uses cash for a lot of big expenses) and expects my fiance to just be able to up and pay $3,000 because she said so. That’s a whole nother story in itself. The hardest part is that we have now gone almost TWO years without seeing him.
My fiancé has continued trying to be a father, but we have not been able to have that relationship. He now has a daughter, and his son has never even met his little sister — even though he was so excited about becoming a big brother and meeting her.
A few months ago, his son reached out to my fiancés mom. He was extremely upset and said things that concerned us deeply. When we spoke with him, he told us he felt like he was constantly being sent places because he felt like his mom didn’t want him around. He told us he eats dinner alone often, feels like he is constantly being watched, and that there are cameras throughout the house.
He also told us that when he gets upset, he has been told things like his dad doesn’t love him or has been encouraged to go live with his father. He said he feels confused because he sees how much his dad tries and doesn’t understand why he has been made to feel differently.
The most heartbreaking part was him telling us that he had thoughts about wanting to kill himself because of how he was feeling. That is something we took extremely seriously.
During that phone call, we were later told that his mother and her husband were listening outside the door. According to what we were told, they came into the room during the call and confronted him, asking why he was lying. We were trying to keep the focus on him and asked if everyone could please put their issues aside in that moment because he had just disclosed very concerning things.
Instead, I was told by her husband to “shut the f*** up” and was called a derogatory name before the call was ended. When my fiancé called back, he was told to “relax.” But after hearing your child say those things, how is a parent supposed to just relax? My fiance was about to drop everything and drive 4 hours to go pick him up.
After we were unable to continue talking with him, because we were concerned about his immediate wellbeing, we contacted law enforcement for a welfare check because we wanted to make sure he was okay. My fiance tried to call the school he goes to, to get him set up with counseling there, and requested the counselor call him back and keep him posted etc. He never received a call back because the ex would not allow them to speak with my fiance. Despite my fiance having EVERY right in his parenting plan to speak with the schools and be on the schools list to call etc.
There are also concerns about the environment he is being raised in. His mother works in the adult entertainment industry and has made a very significant income from it. My concern is not simply her job or how she makes money. My concern is boundaries and the environment around a child. From what we have seen by simply searching up her actress name, a lot of the content is created from the home the child lives in & in the SHARED living spaces….couch, kitchen counter, kitchen table… and the content she has been making is giving pedophilia to say the least.
There have also been safety concerns raised in the past, including a child endangerment warning, but we continue to have concerns about certain activities still occurring, such as him riding an electric motorcycle with kids twice his age around a really busy city.
This is seriously just a very small glimpse as to what we have endured the last 8 years. Unfortunately for my fiance, it has been much longer. The other problem, is she has SO much money. And now she’s trying to tell my fiance she’s going to go to court for child support by the end of this week if he doesn’t send her $3k.
What would you do? How do you handle a situation where the other parent seems determined to keep conflict going? She just really wants him to give up so bad. I just don’t understand.
This all has deeply affected my fiance & his sons relationship, even though my fiance tries to talk to him daily, sends him Christmas and birthday gifts, and tries to remain involved.
Sincerely, an exhausted mom, scared that she’s going to fuck our family by trying to get child support when we are currently living check to check. I’m a SAHM to our baby. I’m just so drained by it all. It has never stopped. And it’s heartbreaking to see my fiance just so defeated and ready to just give up. His son hardly answers him these days. We booked him a flight to come see us in a few weeks, but she hasn’t confirmed if she will even send him. We were supposed to have the child for the entire summer, and it’s now 2 days. But that all plays into how my fiance now hasn’t seen him in almost 2 years and been denied every time.
This is going to be a long one…. So lock in if you need a good story.

When we spoke with him, he told us he felt like he was constantly being sent places because he felt like his mom didn’t want him around. He told us he eats dinner alone often, feels like he is constantly being watched, and that there are cameras throughout the house.
He also told us that when he gets upset, he has been told things like his dad doesn’t love him or has been encouraged to go live with his father. He said he feels confused because he sees how much his dad tries and doesn’t understand why he has been made to feel differently.
The most heartbreaking part was him telling us that he had thoughts about wanting to kill himself because of how he was feeling. That is something we took extremely seriously.
During that phone call, we were later told that his mother and her husband were listening outside the door. According to what we were told, they came into the room during the call and confronted him, asking why he was lying. We were trying to keep the focus on him and asked if everyone could please put their issues aside in that moment because he had just disclosed very concerning things.
Instead, I was told by her husband to “shut the f*** up” and was called a derogatory name before the call was ended. When my fiancé called back, he was told to “relax.” But after hearing your child say those things, how is a parent supposed to just relax? My fiance was about to drop everything and drive 4 hours to go pick him up.
After we were unable to continue talking with him, because we were concerned about his immediate wellbeing, we contacted law enforcement for a welfare check because we wanted to make sure he was okay. My fiance tried to call the school he goes to, to get him set up with counseling there, and requested the counselor call him back and keep him posted etc. He never received a call back because the ex would not allow them to speak with my fiance. Despite my fiance having EVERY right in his parenting plan to speak with the schools and be on the schools list to call etc.
There are also concerns about the environment he is being raised in. His mother works in the adult entertainment industry and has made a very significant income from it. My concern is not simply her job or how she makes money. My concern is boundaries and the environment around a child. From what we have seen by simply searching up her actress name, a lot of the content is created from the home the child lives in & in the SHARED living spaces….couch, kitchen counter, kitchen table… and the content she has been making is giving pedophilia to say the least.
There have also been safety concerns raised in the past, including a child endangerment warning, but we continue to have concerns about certain activities still occurring, such as him riding an electric motorcycle with kids twice his age around a really busy city.
This is seriously just a very small glimpse as to what we have endured the last 8 years. Unfortunately for my fiance, it has been much longer. The other problem, is she has SO much money. And now she’s trying to tell my fiance she’s going to go to court for child support by the end of this week if he doesn’t send her $3k.
What would you do? How do you handle a situation where the other parent seems determined to keep conflict going? She just really wants him to give up so bad. I just don’t understand.
This all has deeply affected my fiance & his sons relationship, even though my fiance tries to talk to him daily, sends him Christmas and birthday gifts, and tries to remain involved.
Sincerely, an exhausted mom, scared that she’s going to fuck our family by trying to get child support when we are currently living check to check. I’m a SAHM to our baby. I’m just so drained by it all. It has never stopped. And it’s heartbreaking to see my fiance just so defeated and ready to just give up. His son hardly answers him these days. We booked him a flight to come see us in a few weeks, but she hasn’t confirmed if she will even send him. We were supposed to have the child for the entire summer, and it’s now 2 days. But that all plays into how my fiance now hasn’t seen him in almost 2 years and been denied every time.

Did you guys see this? It was THE MOST AWKWARD THING I have ever seen 😅 I don’t care for her but it honestly was hard for me to even watch & I feel bad for how awkward she was omg. I could never recover lol
I’m so confused what this big push is lately with stassi & Alex, and stassi seems to not be hanging out with Kylie anymore…. Whatsup with all that
So, I lived in SoFlo a couple years ago and kept our house at 68. It was always ICE cold. Currently, we live in Kissimmee, and rent a house. As you can see, we keep our ac set to 67. EVERY day, it gets this hot inside. During the middle of the night it cools off and will usually get to 69 or the not so hot days it will get to 67. But the second it’s 10am, it just gets higher and higher throughout the day. I’ve told my landlord 3 times now and he INSISTS it’s just ‘houses in Florida’ and it’s ’too hot for the AC’s’ but hasn’t even had someone come and take a look. I’m so tired of sweating E V E R Y D A Y in my house.
Update: I’m not sure why me having my own preference of how I like MY home bothers people? 😅 goodness gracious. If you have nothing helpful to say, simply carry on. What is telling me 68° is just too cold? I prefer to be bundled up in my house and need it cold to sleep. My daughter is the same.
Update #2: ac guy came and replaced the capacitor. The one that was in there was set at 35 but was only getting 27. (If anyone understands lol that’s how the guy explained it & showed me) so he replaced it. So far so good!
