Meaning, does it mean I’m doing something that is reinforcing the whining somehow and he is not (aka I’m doing something wrong), or does it mean she is “masking/positive” more with him but feels she can fall apart more with me (aka he is doing something wrong)?
I want to fix this and don’t feel like I’m reinforcing the whining 90% of the time (I ignore, time out etc.), but the pattern is apparent and idk how to fix.
32 year old female.
Since having my kid 5 years ago, I’ve struggled with new onset motion sickness. I mildly struggle in a car if I’m not the driver- mild nausea and headaches. I never had this before. That time was also when COVID and the vaccine came into the world.
In December of this past year (2025), I suddenly started getting migraines with visual aura like clockwork every month during ovulation , sometimes 3 days in a row. I’ve never had migraines in my life before having a kid, and I only had probably 2 migraines in the 5 years after having a kid, before this cluster began in December. (Very classic migraine) They were triggered by caffeine is all I could put together, aside from the ovulation piece. I stopped caffeine in January but They continued for 3 months (a little better tho) until I realized it might be related to a med I was taking (GLP1). I stopped that med and this past month didn’t get any but ….
This month I feel like the dizziness/vertigo has been more noticeable. Especially when I try to use my phone, I almost get dizzy when I transition from looking at my phone to looking around, and vice versa. Today it’s been bad and guess what, I’m around ovulation.
I’ve never struggled with any of this in my life until recently. I’ve used my phone a LOT more since having a kid too and your posture changes so much with a baby.
I have a neurologist appt coming up but I have a LOOOONNNG history of being dismissed for medical things, only for it to be a real issue discovered later, so I really want to advocate for myself.
Does this sound like vestibular migraines? Any other leads ?
She has basically never in her existence had a joyful shower or bath. Every single time, it’s a fight to get in, it’s a sob fest or whine fest during it, it’s a cry fest afterward. we just try to stay calm and let her cry, but it is truly exhausting. It’s not painful or the pain of it but it is nonstop complaining or honest genuine crying with tears coming down.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this some kind of diagnosis? I will take literally any insight at this point .
The worst part is she has incredibly thick and tangly hair and some early adrenarche so she needs frequent baths or showers or hair washing, at least every other day if not every day.
It was a checkup to make sure everything is fine before the crown goes on. The periodontist sort of dismissed this pain as normal, saying that it can be sore as it irritates the tissue going back in. But it definitely didn’t feel like surface level pain, it felt deeper in the screw or jawbone, it was a sudden soreness specifically with the screwing in. There was a little bit of pain with the unscrewing but very minor and I would describe it more as discomfort, it was at a level I expected. But to be honest, the screwing back in was a sudden pain and painful enough it made me concerned about the crown procedure and made me concerned something is wrong.
I feel like in general I’m a more sensitive person, it took tons of numbing injections to get me numb and they kept wearing off quickly.
Is this not unexpected or is it a red flag?
It’s hard to ask this clearly, but my daughter is now 5yo. Last summer we met someone who we learned was going to be at her school in the fall. We were hopeful their daughter and ours might want to be friends because us as parents connected well. We tried a couple of play dates before the school year started, but immediately upon starting the play date, their girl avoided ours and didn’t really engage. This happened both play dates, when they had never interacted before.
I figured maybe they needed some time to warm up, but they’ve now been through the entire school year together, and their kid still won’t play with ours—not just doesn’t seek them out, but actively says no to playing with them. The other girl is friends with most of the girls in the class, and so unfortunately my daughter hasn’t been able to make many friends because she’s not in the “in group.” My daughter is friends with all the other kids in the class who aren’t in that “group.”
My kid must be more sad than they’re letting on because apparently, my kid told that girl that she would give her her doll if she played with her. It broke my heart.
I 100% get sometimes kids dont click and I never force it. But this kid seemed to not want to be my kid’s friend before any interaction at all??? Is that normal for kids this age?
We had been debating whether to put her in a different school next year and this situation with this girl is almost a factor, which feels insane to me??? This was never an issue in her old school.
