Mamas with depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders

Irritated

Never in my life have I wanted to punch an oldder person…husband and I were talking about his vasectomy he is planning to get….he said jokingly, why don’t you get the surgery….then his co worker in the background starts talking…saying “why you want her to get the surgery?? So she can go be a whore and hoe around while you’re at work.i might as well be on her list then”. The continues to verbally harass me over the phone…hubby just said “oh yea whatever” brushing it off his shoulder…like you really gonna sit there and let another man harass me…this is the same man that makes sexual comments about me….if hubby won’t stick up for me I might as well do it myself..

That is so inappropriate I’ll go there with you and punch him. (And your husband for not sticking up for you). Men are so unbelievable. Yes it would probably make things a bit difficult at work but how can he let anyone speak to or about you like this? I would be furious!

That is so inappropriate- he should be taking that to HR.

So... how did this guy get away with not being punched?

punch him? I would’ve pretend I didn’t even know him

what? he sat there and didn’t put him in his place?? you should’ve went off on your man and on his coworker wtf

Why is he even telling colleagues?

My husband does the same stuff 😭 not paying attention to his surroundings before talking about something private. He was in the store one day and called me to ask about an item then the conversation turned into "i want you to look at _______ when I get home" his no no square and went into full detail as to what was wrong and how he needs to shower....😭🤦‍♀️😭🤦‍♀️😭 he told me after he got of the phone this poor lady just tapped him on the shoulder and said "im sorry your going through that." 😂😭😂😭 and she walked off. He's never felt more embarrassed.

Also sorry I was going to comment on the original portion of your post then I read the comments and seen your replies and one of them just reminded me...

Ladies.. we ride at dawn to find this man

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

Separation Anxiety

My baby is nearly 6 months old and has just entered the separation anxiety stage… this evening I was trying to cook dinner whilst my husband was with the baby and he was just crying every time he couldn’t see me, with full blown hysterical sobbing, and as soon as he saw me again he started giggling and smiling. Any tips on how to stop this? And how long might this phase last?
My husband felt pretty disheartened and upset 😢
