@deidremaria I am so sorry that you had to make that decision.  You are a wonderful Mom and it sounds like Dylan will still have two loving parents, that are not living together.  Hugs!

I really love and appreciate having you all as a support system. My bf and I decided to call it quits. He seems to see all these "terrible qualities" in me and I have no idea where it came from. I'm tired of trying to make it work and as much as I hate the situation, the one thing him and I agree on is that we'd rather Dylan have two happy homes instead of one miserable one. I want to cry just typing this. I am really feeling discouraged and defeated. I feel like another statistic; single black mother. It hurts but I'll get over it

@deidremaria There's no shame in that. Being a single black mother doesn't make you a statistic. You are an individual who is making a mature decision in the best interest of her child and you are going to own it. Only you know the right choice for your family. I'm just sorry that it involves any heartache for you.

@deidremaria‌ I'm super sorry, but hopefully this all works out for the better... It sounds like you are doing what's best for you and your son and that's what counts.
Also, I never knew your name was deidre maria. I always read it as diedre mama for some reason.

And even though it's not Friday, here's another confession since she's gone-it was always poopy to me. My brain cannot compute anything different.

I'm not saying this to say it: I honestly don't know how I'd cope with some of the things that have taken place in my life in the last year without this group. I am so glad I came across this site and made this group of friends. I love and appreciate you all

The group PM? I got it but have been on vacation.. Still am.

I missed the exchange looks like.. So I guess everyone can just send me one thing from where you live and I won't feel left out. Cool?

Does anyone else refer to FB "likes" as lovetits?

OMG, I did too! I know it's Maria but in my head it will always be mama. I think it took me three whole months to figure that out.

JessieAlbin

@deidremaria‌ you're a wonderful mommy and we all know you're always going to make the decisions that are best for Dylan, even when they suck. Big hugs.

AcaAwkward

@deidremaria‌ I haven't been participating in RTT since the beginning, but it's clear to me you're a strong lady who only wants what's best for your son. Lots of positive thoughts for you!

janellemj928

Happy birthday, @Bluebird2318‌!

Congrats and add me to the jealous group, @ambarnett1‌! Although DH and I just talked the other night and we are going to try for a 2 year age gap...

@deidremaria‌ doing what is best for you does not make you a statistic, it makes you a great mother. Stay strong and know we are here for you!

Also curious about all the PM flying around...

Opposite, mainly when I'm talking to my husband. I'm like "hey! I got this many likes on a comment! I'm so funny! Right?! "

@mrscrcalli Oh okay. Hope you're having all the fun!

Ashleypixie

Seriously though, where the fuck is @jellysparkles‌ ?

@ambarnett1 Congratulations on your BFP!  I can definitely see that line!

@deidremaria we are here to support you and anyone else who needs it.

This!

ambarnett1

Thank you ladies for all the well wishes. I appreciate all the support since it's going to be tough, especially because I had HG during my last pregnancy. First appt is on Oct 10th and I'll get to see the baby. Hoping that the little bean stays healthy and happy. Nervous about all the what if's as if I haven't done this already. 

Vinny, I will need a onesie to announce to our families after everything gets checked out! I'll PM you soon

@Deidremaria you're strong as shit. Hugs to you and Dylan. Don't ever be afraid of telling RTT anything. We are here to support each other ... usually. 

edoliesmom

@LuckySquare‌ How extremely inappropriate! They all deserve TPs. Melanie is beautiful!

BiggerinRealLife

@deidremaria‌ Hon, big big hugs to you. You are strong and brave. I'm sorry, because I know this can't be easy, but I'm glad you've come to a decision you think will be best for you and your beautiful baby. You don't want to be with someone who sees you that way; sooner or later you'll start to see it, too. You're amazing, and you're going to be fine.

Jelly hasn't been around much since jelly passed away. I hope she is doing ok.

Everyone send me all your PMs and secret thoughts. It's cool.

For just a moment my heart stopped...

Ashleypixie

Whoa, back up. Someone called your baby UGLY?!?! Whothewhatthewhythe actual fuck?! Who does that even jokingly? Hell, I'd be ok if my worst enemy said it to me, but some bitch I don't know says it jokingly I'd cut a bitchs throat. Not cool.

Ashleypixie

She was on FB yesterday. I just need her here too. I need all the jelly.

Oh whew that makes more sense

That's terrible @LuckySquare‌! What an ass.

Teresa1896

Hugs to Deidre. Sounds like you made the best decision you could for your family. And Dylan will know 2 loving parents whether you're together or separate.

Serenla

I'm at the pedis office and there is a 4 day old baby, this and the BFP makes me want to have all the babies!

deidremaria

That bitch needs to be slapped. Calling someone's baby ugly? Come the fuck on. That's not a joke to make

Sisimama10

Wow. All the good and bad drama today. Hi all! I'm lurking to catch up on the ten million posts I've missed.

JessieAlbin

My baby is the easy part. Even if we didn't happily decide we were one and done, I don't think my body could handle another pregnancy. From the unpleasantness of being pregnant, to the "I think my lady parts are trying to kill me" recovery after birth, and now my back feeling pretty much destroyed. I'm feeling awfully jealous of moms who bounce back quickly, not only with weight, but feeling physically strong and capable.

Ashleypixie

No, you should read them.

speechie517

You think you have seen a lot of blood after childbirth, then you witness a student split their head open on the playground....

thomas930

hugs @deidremaria. You guys had to make a tough call but you are setting up a healthy home for Dylan. He will appreciate you for that. 

Congrats @ambarnett1‌ 

Emily041285

Dallas ladies ( @KendraColeslaw‌ and @AcaAwkward‌ ) my parents want us all to go to six flags. Except they don't like rides, we're trying to explain to them they'll be bored. They think there's "shows" there bc the one by them had some. Is it worth it for people who don't like rides to go?

Is this referring to me or someone else?

DS is starting to scoot. Why didn't I baby proof earlier.

Eh, DS1 is almost 2 and we still haven't baby proofed. You're good

Twirple

@Leeroy80 I never bought toddler specific snacks.  Puffs and melts all seem like a pricey gimmick to me.  DS would snack on fruit, crackers, cheese etc.
