So my daughter will be 6 months at the beginning of July. What are some good activities that you can do at home? She def still puts everything in her mouth. Any ideas would be great! Thanks.
​
​
So yesterday I only got 5 hours of sleep because my daughter was having a hard time. I went to work at 6:30 and got off around 3. Well my roommate wanted me to go to the animal shelter with her. (Mainly because she didn't want to take her car and she needed another roommate to go with her.) While I was hoping to be able to relax a little bit, I drove her to get a cat and then came home. Well, later that night I became overly exhausted and I could feel myself losing energy as I had been trying to put my baby asleep ever since we had gotten home.
​
​
Before the roommate then went to pick up the other roommate. I had finally gotten her settled in.
​
They came home and as I was standing in the kitchen I had asked the roommate with the cat to be quiet as my daughter was asleep.
​
She rolled her eyes and said, "Really? Your daughter has the TV on louder than me." Then she went into her room and closed the door.. two minutes later my daughter woke up crying.
​
​
I sent them a text saying basically asking or begging to be quiet. She said "I'm sorry."
​
​
Well I asked for help to watch her so I could get a break and they ignored that text.
​
​
​
I said "I'd you're not gonna help me then please be quiet"
​
They said "we'll be quiet"
​
​
​
Well fast forward a day later she wanted me to check on the kitten that she had just gotten. (It was in the roommates bedroom.) I had said no, because I didn't have the energy. The roommate said "just to take a peek?"
​
I said no once again. Then she flipped out on me saying that she's never gonna do any favors for me ever again and that she would remember that.
​
​
Then she leaves work early just to come home and check on the cat. Mind you, I am right next to her door.
​
So if I DID hear anything suspicious in her room I would have checked.
​
I actually did go in there earlier to say hello but the kitty was hiding.
I mean why should I feel bad for saying no on checking on a kitten that I knew was fine in the roommates room because..
​
​
​
​
​
What would you do in this situation?
​
Aitah for saying no ?

I just started Zoloft today because my BPD and post partum made my life and emotions on a rollercoaster. Did anyone else experience having SSRis working quickly? Because I feel really calm. I don't feel heightened in my emotions. I feel super chill and sleepy or am I just experiencing the placebo effect?
But either way I think this will be a positive experience in my life to help me pause before I react.
I liked the thought of you, but I can't stand you sometimes.
And I'm talking about my daughter I had 5 months ago.
I just can't get her to sleep. I'm so miserable.
I have BPD and get overwhelmed so easily.
She deserves a better mom.
Hello! So I need some insight
But first let me tell you about how much I HATE Morrison/ compass group aka the toxic ex that just never leaves you alone.
Currently I am on maternity leave and I am dreading going back to my job. Sure it may pay 24.95 an hour as a cook, but during my whole pregnancy they kept writing me up for stupid shit that I may or may not have done. (We all share stations. You can't blame me for a solo avocado smear. )
They also brought me into multiple meetings without asking if I wanted a union representative. They brought me into an interrogation. I spend so much time documenting their harassment towards me that I couldn't even really enjoy my pregnancy without the risk of me being fired if I didn't. They wrote me up so many times I lost track. It was so exhausting. Plus all I did all day was stay in the hot kitchen with more than half the staff missing and I didn't feel acknowledged. Everyone had gotten a gem award in the kitchen besides me, even though before my pregnancy I busted my ass off working the whole kitchen. Also my coworkers were bullies and would bully me and pretend to stab me in my pregnant belly as a joke. (Yeah that person became a lead cook) And they would make fun of me for so many reasons they could. Also majority of my friends are either fired or leaving.
As much as I LOVE the pay. It's shit. It's a shit job. I've worked there for 2 years. A union rep told me that even a manager said that I get written up a lot because I was pregnant and unable to do ALL of my job. (Sorry can't bend down to a knee high fridge at 35 weeks pregnant.)
They have extensive history of favouritism, and gossiping at the knights round table aka the cafeteria table where all the managers and the peacock white hats and coats sit. While we're running around looking for a manager in a hot ass understaffed kitchen.
I may have a new job opportunity for working with a non profit. I'd be a food coordinator it pays 20 bucks an hour. Should I just leave my current job that gives me anxiety and dread or should I take a chance on this new non profit job feeding the homeless and organizing the volunteers and coming up with food ideas for about 200 people? And a fresh start.
Hey guys, so two years ago I got my gallbladder out because it was causing a lot of discomfort and pain. When my gallbladder became inflamed I had really bad diarrhea, like fatty diarrhea, but now that it's removed it's .. worse. It just comes out like water. I'm no stranger to fiber, but has anyone else had this issue when they had theirs taken out?
Like when I say I gotta go, I gotta go. No if ands or butts. As soon as that stomach ache hits. It's game over.

In January, I went on maternal leave and I have been home since January and I go back to work in June.
I have been the only one cleaning most of the trailer.
Out of the 4 of us. I do the majority of the household work. Girl A, says that she shouldn't have to clean up the space that we all share, because it's not her garbage.
Girl B. Just assumes that someone else will do it.
My husband helps, but he also spends a lot of the time with our baby, so he doesn't clean as much either.
I feel like it's all me. I feel like that I do all the cleaning. The sweeping, the trash, the dishes, the vacuuming, the sorting, the decluttering, etc.
I've also been more critical about this, because we have mice, and they seem to be a never ending issue around here. So I have been trying to clean up more and more because I have a 4 month old daughter. (Stay away hantavirus)
I did end up getting a calender that we write down what we do on there. Whether it's a small chore or you clean the whole house.
and if you look at it, I clean every day. Girl B cleans every few days.
Girl A cleans... once every two weeks
And my husband cleans a few times a week as well.
Well tonight 5/20 I got fed up. We all went to the zoo and had a fun time together.
Girl A said that she was gonna do dishes when we got back. Well my daughter was screaming halfway home and so I had to trade spots with girl B.
I have really bad plantar and i had one shoe on trying to hop up out of the car and I saw the car door almost close on my hand. I told the girl to watch what she was doing. (I was a little snappy)
Then when we got home girl A walked into my room to say that girl B didn't like the way that I told her to watch herself because she said that she wasn't trying to close the door on my hand.
Then I got an attitude and told them I wanted an apology because they ditched me to go to the gift shop and I wanted to come too, but they didn't even after I asked them to wait up because I was feeding my baby.
Then Girl A says that I need to not be so mean and that I shouldn't bring up irrelevant problems.
Fast forward after a nap, I come out to the kitchen and I see that dishes haven't been done yet, and then I assume that no one is going to do them, so I put my daughter in a stroller and take her with me and start doing the dishes.
I keep telling my 4 month old, "Don't worry baby, mama has to do the dishes because no one else likes to clean or do dishes."
After about 20 minutes girl A returns from her cave. Aka her room.
She said that "She was going to do them" Do you guys know how many times I have heard that and it NEVER gets done? Like, ever. I picked up the Calendar book that I bought and showed her all the cleaning I do nearly everyday . and she said "Most of the dishes are yours"
As she walked away from me showing her, and I don't know what came over me. Maybe I was just fed up. Overstimulated? Overwhelmed? Resentful? And I threw the calendar at her while she was walking into her room.
While yes what I did was not healthy, but she refused to see the evidence that I do clean more and that she thinks I am doing it on purpose to rub in their faces. (We have Mice. I don't do things for sport. )
And I am tired of being "the go to cleaning" person.
I'm tired of being the only one who initiate cleaning and taking responsibility for the decluttering and cleaning and setting mouse traps and doing dishes.
I mean I have a 4 month old of course I want a clean place to live.
this shit. Hello Fellow Redditors, I came here because I am at a loss.
I live with 4 people (including myself).
In January, I went on maternal leave and I have been home since January and I go back to work in June.

Mind you, it's hard cover, but I didn't beat her with it. I was like 10 feet away. I honestly thought I was going to miss her, but it didn't and her in the head.
While yes what I did was not healthy, but she refused to see the evidence that I do clean more and that she thinks I am doing it on purpose to rub in their faces. (We have Mice. I don't do things for sport. )
Idk, im just fed up
TLDR;
Friends and I got into a fight about the cleaning and I threw a calender at her head because she refuses to see how much I actually do clean.
And I am tired of being "the go to cleaning" person.
Id move out, but my credit is terrible and my husband has some issues where he can't work.
SOOOOO.... yeah...
Finishing projects. I have a hard time with finishing anything. I take pride into starting new projects and hobbies, but I can't seem to stick to things. Either I give up because it's too hard, or I get bored and jump to the next thing. Idk how to hack into my brain to try to finish anything. It takes me 3 hours to finish cleaning the kitchen because it can't stay focused on finishing one thing.
What are some tips? Tricks? Right now I am trying to figure out how to crochet and I dont wanna give up.
Or do I just hate my job?
Hi everyone! You ever work at a job where they keep you short staffed on purpose? Where you can't take days off without either PTO or using protected time off?
Wanna take off a random Tuesday to spend time with your family? Gotta have PTO for that.
Can't go to work while a blizzard is happening and you live 20 minutes away and you're pregnant? Gotta have PSST for that. But ou wait, you can't use it for blizzards. Only if you're sick or dying.
Not even for a doctor's appointment.
I fucking HATE my job. While I was pregnant they kept writing me up for bullshit. (Imagine being called into the office over a random avocado smear.) They would even try to write me up for going to doctors appointments because PSST doesn't qualify. (To them at least.)
They're so crooked. Id look for a different job, but it's the only job that I know pays 25 an hour and has my skill set.
I'm too much in debt to go back to school.
I really wanna work from home, but I gotta pay the bills somehow.
I just want to get out of this stupid job. I am a cook, but I feel like a slave. I reported them for retaliation, I've contacted my union, but they're all just shit.
They told me I could take them to court and *maybe* get 500 dollars out of them.
I have to go back to work in June because I've been on maternity leave....
Really don't want to go back... I'd rather lick every cactus for 25 an hour in the tri state area.
That's my rant.
Fuck Morrison healthcare. 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
My daughter is 4 month old, and yesterday she had her vaccinations, well she missed her two month appointment, so they just had given her the 4 month old shots.
I am a first time mom, but is it normal for your baby to refuse to sleep after 24 hours of getting the shots? I've been giving her the liquid tylenol they gave me, but she is still so fussy and refuses to settle or sleep.
What do I do? How long does this last? I am kinda going insane here.
Hello all, so I was pregnant from may to January. I had only gained 30 pounds when I was pregnant, and after pregnancy I gained another 40 pounds. I feel kinda helpless, because I feel like whatever I do, it doesn't work.
I am 30 years old and this is my first kid.
I am shocked because I used to be SUPER athletic and a gym rat.
and now I don't have any energy to workout or leave the house.
Anyone have any tips or tricks on how to manage weight better with PCOS?
I feel like my hormones went rampant
