I just saw the cutest little things in a kilt... and now I want a new teddy bear --- wearing a kilt, of course!!

*cleans a spot off for a new stuffie*
 
it's always nice when you bring home a new arrival:D Do you have a name yet?

I haven't bought him yet. I was looking online yesterday and fell in love with the one PB posted earlier.

But, I'm going to name him Jamie McStuffie ... maybe lmao!

I also found a Scotland figurine on ebay from my collection "Cherished Teddies". It will fit perfectly with all my others.
 
No, I think you are probably right, I just don't know yet. It feels like every time I START to get time and space to work on me thigs get upended and I lose it again.

I'm in one of those spots again. I might make progress, but then I'll be right back here to controlled chaos barely able to breathe in a couple weeks :/ shall see.
 

No doubt... I want to run away but it's too flipping hot!

In other news, I don't think of myself as a brat. Just playful and cheeky. But the other night when he told me I had to go to bed I said NO in a split second, without thought. Which got us laughing about the night we hung up the phone, and I immediately messaged 'I like you' ... and the very next morning found that post you put up, Honey!!! It's one of our priceless moments.

But, getting back to being a brat. If I am, I automatically feel remorse. Is that still bratty?

Let me put on my thinking cap and get back to you. :)
 
This thread got quiet. Is everyone Ok? I'm on my trip. My kiddo gets here soon. My birthday is tomorrow. Kinda trying to keep *up* as it turns out I'm probably not going to get to see anyone tomorrow, maybe not at all I've been counting on it, so I'm a bit bummed about it. I don't know how to speak the need without coming across as ungrateful or not being understanding. ... the downside of being how I am. Was awake all night last night replaying conversations in my head trying to figure out how I should have done it differently.

Speaking as your brother-from-another-mother, yes you can be a brat lol :D

But in this case, I don't think so :)

Sorry it may not work out for you! I can imagine how frustrating it is given your travels and all. But, it is clear he doesn't understand you or your needs in the least, so perhaps, in the long run, you are better off. It isn't you, it's him. He failed to listen carefully, saw only one thing that he liked/wanted and ignored the rest of you...

And, Happy Birthday! :rose:

I think it only matters how HE takes it right? And while some people might see it as bratty behavior, he might just see it as a charming part of you and not see it that way at all.
I've been known to stick my tongue out a time or two, and I don't consider myself a brat either.

I'm still having days where I struggle. This thread is hard for me sometimes because of that, which is odd because I think most in here understand what I feel more than others... which might be why I stay away. It's harder to lie to myself and tell myself I'm totally fine now when I know people might see through it.


Ange... maybe this is just me, but I think it's important that you remember it's ok to be disappointed and it's important to tell him you are. If it was something you were counting on, and looking forward to you have every right to speak your need about it. You can be disappointed or bummed and still understand the reasons behind it. I know that sometimes it helps if they can tell you that they are disappointed too.
I'm sorry that it isn't working out for you today, but I do hope you have a VERY, VERY happy birthday! :heart:

I like to think of it as "original"! ;)

That's a very good answer. Not just for me, but for all of us. We say it often, that two people make the relationship and it is whatever they make it.

I think I was concerned because there was someone who didn't understand my littleness, my need to still continue a conversation, and he'd get mad and say something that hurt (but only because it squashed me feelings.)

Now... there are no words for how he takes my needs and firmly and lovingly reminds me I need to sleep and he'll be around when I wake. He said it would take a lot more than me being little to make him leave. 😍

Now. You.
Please stop staying away. It's not that we will converge on you and pull out our notebooks and do therapy. But, sometimes just hanging out is a balm for your soul until you gather the strength you need, until you heal. :heart:

I think I understand. I used to be afraid with my first Daddy, I didn't want to be too needy. I called it being a brat by messaging him that I needed his attention when I knew he was working. He called it something totally different. He wanted to know my needs. He NEEDED to be needed, and said it wasn't bratty at all to speak up.

I do hope your birthday was good... that you found something wonderful to make you smile. :rose:
