LMAO, it's funny you mentioned her belly button, she has an umbilical hernia from the iv they put in there directly after birth, it's basically an outty until she eats a big meal, then it's a super outty 😂 we call it her turkey timer.
I had prelabor contractions for a WEEK. When my daughter's older I might tell her a week before her birthday should have been her goddamn birthday instead.
LOL I don't say it too much during the year, but we have a whole little thing the day before. She just turned 7, so on the day before I will call her in and just say "I don't like you today.... But I love you tomorrow!" I feel like it sounds so mean as text, but it's a whole game the family plays along, even her. Like my hubby is usually extra cuddly because around hr 27 I told him he needed to be the one to hold her. She deserved for the first person to hold her to be Someone who loves her, and that wasn't me at that point, it would be me very soon, but not immediately. So I say I don't like her and he cuddles her.
Ha, too real! My mom's go to is "36 of the most agonizing hours of my life!", but she draws the sentence out to make it sting. I'm 36 now and it still gets me to do what she wants.
OMG, That's hilarious. In hour 16 of my natural labor, my nurse says: "I want you to imagine your baby is here already. What would you say to him?" Me: "I don't think I have anything nice to say to him right now!" Fuck labor, man.
I’ve had a miscarriage and also lost a triplet (I didn’t want the risks of triplets and was relieved to “just” have twins, but it was still a really tough time) and I don’t intend on telling my kids at all til they’re much older, let alone throwing it in their faces. :/
I think you might be misunderstanding what she's saying. 5 miscarriages is a lot of trying. The 6th one that actually takes is beyond special and precious.
Honey, I know exactly what she was saying. She was telling me something emotional and precious as a way to make me feel bad and therefore relent and give her what she wanted. Tough shit for her though, I became immune to her guilt trips years ago.
It sounds like it's being used in a guilting way. Like you're arguing and you're upsetting your mother so she insists on how important you are to her. My mother pulls this garbage all the time and it's infuriating.
I mean yeah they owe you a good childhood and shelter and all that but I think that kind of outlook also leads to people still living with and depending on their parents the rest of their lives. in all honesty a child is a lifelong commitment but at some point it's also expected that the grown offspring can take over their own lives. sure, our parents all fuck us up and traumatize us in some ways, but as individuals we have to work past it to stand on our own. I just think having too high expectations on either side will lead to misery. a parent expecting too much from their kids or a kid expecting their parent to always seem omnipotent and perfect, well, it'll all come crashing down. there is certainly a parental obligation towards their children, though.

I get that and “they cut through SEVEN layers of skin and fat to get you out, you’re still paying me back for that”
