Touched out dads?

Im just wondering if this is a female thing but how many of you dads get touched out and end up turning down your partner because of it? Does your desire to be intimate outweigh your desire ti never be touched ever again after a rough day?

Pants help

Im short and I have a horrible diastasis recti. I am now down 40lbs and absolutely 100% of it came off my legs and breasts and i actually appear fatter with a bigger belly, like im 9 months pregnant. I look like Mike Wazowski and my pants just keep falling down. Are they too big? Too small? Who knows, not me!

Does anyone have a style of pants that will work until my proportions even out (for the love of God, I hope)? Or should I buy maternity wear because thats literally how I look.

Note: my ass is intact, i have lost there too but its round and lifted thanks to the 3 kids im constantly doing squats and stairs all day everyday. Its just that my belly is so much bigger.

Inflammation?

I see everywhere people talking about their "inflammation" disappearing or "going down" but no one explains further.

What inflammation is everyone talking about? Are you all referring to the same thing or is it all different things?

I have been on for 4+ months and have not noted any other effects other than a slow loss of 1lb a week. I have PCOS and endometriosis. My periods are as irregular as always, and flow and length and pain etc are all the same. Really haven't noted anything other than my constant hunger go away for a bout 4 days after my dose and fully return the night before ahot day.

I guess im just curious. And also what dose are you on of you experienced this inflammation resolution?

Thought I was smart marrying an intellectual...

My husband is brilliant, has a phd and started making enough money last year for me to quit my high stress career finally. Our kids are 8yo, 5yo and 2.5yo currently.

I thought I was making a good decision. Hes extremely kind, a feminist (i was the bread winner for a bit while he was a sahd in school), intelligent, driven (he has 2 part time jobs on top of his fulltime-not out necessity-for enjoyment), hes savvy with money and is a great dad. However....he grew up in the city, a child of intellectuals and does absolutely nothing besides occasionally making dinner and doing dishes and sometimes only his own laundry. Hes either working, playing chess on his phone, or playing the piano.

We live on an acre in the suburbs. I do everything. All indoor cleaning, repairs, projects, all outdoor maintenance because he has no clue how to do it or that it even needs to be done (weeding, planting, watering, mulching, painting, repairs, deck and hot tub maintenance, pest control, etc) except we have a service that comes to mow weekly (thank god). I also do hvac maintence, keep the dehumidifiers emptied, take the cars for repairs and maintenance. Oh and I have to do it while i watch the kids. Hell watch them for short spurts if I flip out about me needing to do something that wouldn't be safe for them. He takes care of the pool.

Nowthat we are at 1 income he got even more cheap than he already was. Between all our retirement, investments and saving for the kids college-just about half his income goes into savings. So there's plenty of wiggle room (if needed) to pause a few months of SOME savings if needed. But if I try to outsource anything, carpet cleaners, painters, plumber etc he flips because its too expensive and he says he'll do it.....except he never does it. He told me he would cut back a huge bush that started growing up through the deck 3 months ago. Now its 8ft tall and ripping deck boards. That and a crap ton if other stuff made me so made I stuck the kids in front of the tv all day (they are on their 6th straight hour) while I cut that bush dowb and have been desperately going around and just fixing and doing all the things "he'll just do himself". I hired carpet cleaners ti come pick up the rugs that HAVENT VEEN CLEANED IN 10 YEARS that he says are fine and dont need cleaned.

Sorry for the long rant. Sometimes an amazing husband and father on paper doesnt translate to real life.

Oh and hes scared of bugs wild animals and im tired of having to always be the one to put on big girl panties to take care of shit.

Heat exhausted

Visiting my parents who live in the mountains. They have no air conditioning because they live in the mountains of PA and it really only gets too hot in August for a week or 2. We purposely planned a trip with them now, while its still cool and (isn't it ironic) they are having a heat wave. Its insane humidity and almost 90 degrees.

​

They do no open the windows because "its just hot air blowing in" so they keep the whole house buttoned up. I bring a thermometer for our toddler sleep and it was over 92 degrees upstairs and it was 85 but breezy outside. I just went through and flung every window open while they yelled at me for making it hotter.

​

They dont own fans. So for the past 2 days its just been stagnant, humid air to sit in. They are insane people. Thankfully there is a window AC unit in our bedroom or else we couldnt stay here. It wouldn't be safe. They think im being ridiculous and wont stop telling me how im over reacting.

​

The heat is supposed to end today and its going back to the 70s and into the 50s at night which is their usual weather in June.

​

Im just so tired of being gaslit by them for everything my entire life. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I went to the store by myself yesterday and was gone for about 2 hours. I had put sunblock on my kids as they were playing outside however I found out the got in the pool immediately after I left and neither my mom or dad put sunscreen on them (tge areas previously covered by clotges). I got home and flipped out they said it was totally fine they were not even burnt they never put sunscreen on tgeir other grand kids blah blah. Well both my kids were little lobsters last night. They were crying in pain while I loaded them up with aloe and lotion.

​

What did my parents say? "You should have put sunscreen on them before you left for the store! I dont know why you wouldn't do that! You KNEW they would want to swim!"

​

Im just. So. Tired.

Real exposure, currently on medication. Not doing well.

I was exposed to racoon poop that could contain roundworm that can kill you. My doctor contacted the health department and I am on preventative medication but they think its still low risk. I have been having a 4 day straight panic attack. I call 988 last night because I couldn't handle the panic I was in it helped. But now I feel like I can never go out on my back patio and pool. I feel like the whole house is contaminated. Its killed easily by heat (boiling water) but i cant take my pot out there to dump boiled water everywhere AND VRING IT BACK IN MY KITCHEN. The pest control company is cleaning up but just the specific area. I need to clean the shovel I was using and it is in the garage now but I cant ring myself to do it. I bought a tyvek suit. I just cant handle the insane anxiety and panic I am feeling over this because it is REAL. I honestly want to to ve sedated fir the next 3 weeks and monitored and then it will be over.

Im not sure how to break my ruminations and feelings thay absolutely nothing is clean and never will be again.

I cleaned up what I thought was cat poop on my patio area. Used gloves and bags and was careful but no mask. Triple bagged and then washed an continued working outside. Doused the are in bleach because it was in a rock bed. Realized later it was racoon poop. Docs are working on what dose and for how long (800mg fir 20 days?!l) for prophylaxis per the cdc. I played with my 2yo and held her outside nearby and while I was wearing the same clothes. I am freaking out about getting these worm as the infection eyes and brain and can kill you. But also freaking out about the medication

Has anyone had to do prophylaxis? Should I def treat my kiddo too?

I peed 13 times so far today and have been awake for 12 hours. My hands are chapped from washing and I cant get anything done because I have to pee literally constantly. Like 10 minutes after I go I have to go again. I have a phobia of public restrooms. I cant go anywhere. Its actually causing me to think about stopping.

And no, I dont have a UTI.
