Teething or smth else 😥

Our little boy is teething and today is a 3rd day I have to keep him on Tylenol and Motrin around the clock. Did anyone experience smth similar? Having to keep the baby on meds for so long just because of teething? At this point I’m getting worried it could be smth else..we went to urgent care today but they didn’t really find anything. He gets low grade fever very hot on the head and super fussy/crying when Tylenol is wearing off

We haven’t used it around the clock. Definitely have had a night or two where it’s been overnight use but even on the worst days (he’s got three teeth coming in right now) keeping him distracted from the pain is not an easy task but we (I) managed. I also haven’t had to deal with a true fever. He gets hot but after checking his temp it hasn’t been overly high. Just a lot of pain. Wish you luck. Popsicles or breastmilk sicles have worked best for us.

Have them check for an ear infection, Teething affects sinuses. My daughter had gotten sick because of her teething and ended up getting a bacterial ear infection that went unnoticed by urgent care and the emergency room until it had tried to drain into her lymph node expanding it into a big lump and, since it was bacterial, the lymph node necrosed and filled with puss. Thus, becoming an abscess. My poor baby had a fever for 3 weeks because the doctors around here suck and then she had to be life flighted in order for them to drain the abscess. It was horrifying. So, start with this.. if you genuinely feel something is wrong, go into the doctor, have them check for anything that could cause those symptoms. Do not let them "it's hard on the baby to clean their ears because of how little they are, so I can't see the ear drum so we won't check for ear infection" because that's what urgent care told me and I believed them because they are doctors, right? WRONG, mother's instinct over anything! Trust your gut mama

SAHM Allowance

For my SAHM, does your partner give you money weekly/ monthly? What’s your situation like? I just came across a post that said a SAHM has been asking her husband for $50/month and he denies it; I was so shocked.

Ok, I have a conundrum! CPS or no?

So my bestie has a cousin whom I know and this cousin has a partner (they are married) and 4 kids.

Kiddo's 1 & 2 live with a druggie, do drugs themselves and have issues. Kiddo 1 lived with my bestie for a time and struggled. He is autistic too. Kiddo 2 had been sent to live with his aunt for time due to behavioural issues and drugs.

Kiddo 1 & 2 lived together briefly (essentially kicked out as soon as they could be) in a unit owned by their parents.

They are roughly like 27 and 25 now.

Kiddo 3 is beautiful but also has some issues. He is a people pleaser and may struggle with certain adult respinsibilities but is over all well rounded, very smart and qyite self sufficient. He is studying and has a job and a gf. He is around 22.

He currently lives with my bestie in the unit his parents own.

Kiddo 4, lives with theie parents, is a round 11/12 and will not function when he becomes an adult. He happens to be autistic and may have FAS (knew the potential never got him assessed) but his parents have neglected him medically in regards to this, most of his life.

He is the golden child and his siblings know it.

He can do no wrong, never gets in trouble, never has to do anything he doesn't want to, always gets his own way. Spends a huge amount of his time playing games online with other people and cuasing and yelling while doing so.

As far as I know, no one ever spoke up about his behaviour or the parents neglect, about getting him diagnosed or any sort of help.

Basically he has been let down by everyone in his life.

So he apparently hates autistic people so they haven't told him he is autistic.

He was having severe issues at school and he has social issues so they have decided to home school him, but his Dad will work from home at the same time.

Kiddo's 1 and 2 barely see the family from my understanding and kiddo 3 doesn't like visiting much anymore due to kiddo 4's behaviour.

He isn't in therapy but apparently he is on medication for his behaviour but he is beong told it's for anxiety.

He is also overweight because he eats junk (I have an autistic kiddo and understand the struggle) but does no exercise. It was school and video games. Now it will just be video games.

I am hearing all this through my bestie and am so frustrated and heartbroken for this kid that noone has protected him. Including several mandatory reporters.

Do I report this if I can? I don't know kiddo's last name, know 1 parents but not the others, though I should br able to access that through social media. I don't even know exaxtly where they live. I know rough area.

Someone needs to stand up for this kid.

To add extra context; in the last few years they have lost both paternal grandparents and a paternal uncle and Dad was really, really sick in hospital for many months.

All 4 kids are adopted. 1 and 2 are siblings.

Both parents are AH's who use and abuse family and likely friends. Telling my bestie they where staying at the flat and bringing a cat despite her having a cat. Her cousin was angry she replaced the broken vaccuum. They expected her to parent kiddo 1 through being an adult out on his own because they couldn't be arsed.

Cousins has a sister who lives in a house he built and he holds it over her head.

Invited my besties parents for Christmas and didn't provide food or drinks and decided they where going to the sisters house (my besties cousin) and would cook there. It was apparently very weird and unwelcoming.

They are just pretty awful, self centred people.

I don't want to cause issues for my bestie or her other family though.

Anyway, CPS or no? Should I tell bestie of I do?

I can’t be the only one who thinks this is weird?!?

It irks the hell out of me when my husband doesn’t answer my calls because he’s on the phone with his sister. Or he’ll hang up with me because his sister is calling! Also, why is she calling 10 times a day???

Granted- I call my own sister 10 times a day but very rarely I’ll ever call my own brother.

…but that’s not the weirdest part. He has his sister saved as “my princess” on his phone! I’d get it if it’s his litter sister who’s 10 or something. But his sister is pushing forty!

What are you guys doing for mother's Day?

I'm just gonna preface this by saying I like my MIL but only in small doses. So basically my FIL invited up over to their place and asked that my husband and him grill for us. I understand that this day is about all mother's but I really don't feel like spending my mother's day stuck talking to my mil. If my husband is grilling than I have no buffer and that means I'm taking care of our daughter the whole time. My husband turns into a kid at his parents place and basically after eating just naps on the couch leaving me to handle my 16 month old and his mom by myself. Not to mention he has never really cared about "celebrating his mom" he really just wants to grill with his dad. Which I get, they don't spend much time together but this day is supposed to celebrate me too. Not to mention I'm pregnant and am struggling to eat meat..... So am I selfish for wanting to say no to going over there?

Give me your opinion!

Found out I was pregnant same week of my grandmother passing.
But the pregancy i haven't announced as only 5 weeks and had a miscarriage in January
But regarding my grandmother passing *my partner at the time*
Was announcing her death to people that ain't related and tried inviting them to funreal which funreal plans was left with a family member and she wanted only family.
I did call him out for it as grandchildren and great grandchildren was still to find out on her passing he didn't take any responsibility on what his just created he just stated nothing to do with.
Nothing to do with you but was disrespectful enough to try go against her wishes .
One you ain't family either
Two is private information which shouldn't be seen as gossip
And three he shouldn't then of started calling me every name under sun .
His stated I'm a disgrace when his one crossed a boundary.
His gone on to say baby I'm currently pregant with ain't his .
Which let me confirm I had a miscarriage with this lad in January and was forced to go through that alone until the very last minute until I contacted someone close to him.
What would anyone do this situation because I haven't spoken or seen him since crossing boundaries and also I don't wanna give someone access that thinks it's okay to treat a pregnant woman like a door stop.
Like is the type of person I really wanna have a baby with ?
Is the type of behaviour I wanna be putting up with early stages of pregnancy.
Is this the type of person I wanna be sharing any information with since he finds it all gossip.
Someone give me some advice on what they would do in this situation?
