@searchingforameaning I think I get that... DH immigrated to the US from a then war torn country, and as you said, mental needs don't quite hit his radar.
I have also struggled with getting prenatals down and started placing each one in a bit of plain yogurt and honey. They seem to go down and stay down that waY, but who knows if it will last since my tastebuds change daily.
Okay random rant...I hate the smell of popcorn since getting pregnant and my hubby is addicted to it. I have to leave the room every time he makes it and I know he feels bad, but really fighting nausea is number one right now. I feel heartless putting my nausea prevention above snuggles, popcorn, and generally being touched by anyone, but I'm more b@$chy if I don't. Ugh!
Could he buy pre-popped popcorn (like Smartfood)? Then it wouldn't smell up the house!

@searchingforameaning I hope you find something that works for your son! My brother has ADHD and it did take a while for them to find something that worked. My parents also consulted a nutritionist because certain foods seem exasperate the symptoms.
This is not baby related, but I can't stand Adele or her music (because, you know, I am close personal friends w/ her...haha) IDK why.. For example, the song Hello... It makes me want to yell, "Get over it already! Sheesh"
I finally figured out the ticker thing! (I was so excited I thought I'd tell you all) LOL
Also, Since its confession time, I haven't been taking my prenatals very well. Which is ridiculous because I have been taking them religiously since I got pregnant in October 2014, and continued since I'm still breastfeeding my 18 month old. Its such a struggle because I have to physically get them and chew/swallow them...
I have had a hard time too =( I bought small folate pills which I have been taking but I gag/throw up when I take my other vitamins. My nurse said to take it with a milkshake/smoothie which has not helped. UGH!
@texasmama2014 I completely appreciate the comments that direct the moms to a different site or even address the fact that they shouldn't open up a new thread. I find it annoying...I just feel bad for some of these women who post and are genuinely excited. Then...the comments are not very uplifting.
Totally agree with everything you said, I just wish we as a group could do this in a mature and caring way. Which a lot of women are doing!
I just want to say that reading all of these "rules" and people freaking out about what, where & who to post what to is a little over the top. I believe that it makes it intimidating for some to post or comment after that for fear of scolding by a stranger. As if we aren't all sensitive right now anyway. I think it's also important to remember that some of us are just new to forums and don't know the lay of the land. We're just looking for understanding, compassionate people to share with, get support, vent, etc. All this about "clogging feeds"... Who cares. Get over yourselves, make it less about rules and order and more about comforting and helping one another.

There are several pinned threads at the top to help new people understand the lay of the board. The people who are already regulars and have made connections shouldn't suffer because so many people come on and post 1 time and then never come back. It's hard to be comforting to people in a genuine way if you don't know them. Civilizations since the beginning of time have established rules and protocol so why should a board designed to support be any different?

Welcome, by the way.
Sorry to be jumping in this late, but I've been away this weekend and taking a social media break. I just want to add that the reason people are concerned about clogging the board is because the posts by people who regularly contribute and provide support to others get pushed to the 2nd and 3rd page when there are 3 or 4 posts about the same thing on the front page. I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to provide more support to those who are regular posters (and who offer support regularly) vs those who come one time to ask a question and never come back to offer that same thing in return.
