xolastunicornxo Thanks for sharing your experience, the thing is in all honesty I am ok with this stage of my life being all about the kids. I had an awesome time in my 20's travelling, partying, doing everything I wanted on my time. I just look at this stage as one that's not about me. It'll get easier as the kids get older, as you said, and I'm looking forward to that but it's not like I'm crying about not having a bazillion friends like I did in other stages in life. But her dig was 'see what you're like, that's why you don't have friends' which is bullshit and rude. But of course she wouldn't know that about me, because she never takes the time to get to know me. At this point I know I'm not going to change her, it's mostly coming up with coping mechanisms for me to deal for the 'in the moment' shit from her.

I read a really good book about how to cope with having a shitty mom, it's called Will I Ever Be Good Enough? by Karyl McBride, Ph D. Reading it, I felt very validated. There's so much pressure in society to have a perfect relationship with your mother. That's not always possible and that's ok.

Thanks guys. This is actually a pretty hard day for me this year, so I appreciate all the Birthday wishes. I'm not doing anything today. Got my oil changed and bank stuff done, now I'm just laying on the couch binge watching oitnb.

lfig I think it depends how you respond to probiotics. After surgery they had me take Miralax and probiotics for a month. I had no problems. But maybe wait it out to see. What ever happened with your acid thing? Or is this all related?

If I hear "why?" again today I may just lose every single one of my marbles. I fully understand the "because I said so" answer now.

This is making me LOL, I don't know why. It's like they are drunk dancing at a frat party.

If you guys have a neighborhood pool, can I suggest you all join it? I feel like I'm killing it in the Parenting game by laying around the zero-entry area like a beached whale and eating popsicles.

I wish! There is a free baby pool like a mile and a half from my house. Unfortunately I don't get to just lay by the side because one year old.

I think we go to the same gym pool as you only the one in Montvale NJ. I always have to chase Z around as she goes headfirst in the water.
