Encounter with rude racist people

Hi all

We took our 3 year old son to an alpaca farm today.. he is the only kid at the farm and is quite excited and restless to go in to touch alpacas and feed them .. my son is quite vocal and is echolaliac ..

One of the couple from the group seemed annoyed of him .. and adding to this my son happened to bump into the same British couple who were trying to take picture while feeding the animals.. and they seemed very irritated by him ... we couldn't avoid noticing this .. they gave cold and long stares at him..

This is not first time in this country .. I had similar rude experiences from black cab drivers in london and at super markets or at other kids activities places.. cab drivers even banged our luggage on the ground .. in play grounds few mothers give long stares ..

I'm from India, i am writing this post to know the views of UK natives.. is it really tough to be kind with others.. what's your view? Am I overthinking?

No you’re not overthinking this is a real problem and something I struggle with as a Pakistani Muslim even though I’m British. You’ll come across amazing lovely people too but when I’m out with my children I definitely get treated differently to people who are of a white background. I could deal with it before kids but since being out with them it really bothers me and I wish it wasn’t this way. I’ve seen the way people look at those with a foreign accent and it’s horrendous. I was in A&E once and the doctors had foreign accents and everyone was being incredibly rude and sarcastic about them. Doctors. In A&E. There to help everyone in an emergency situation overworked etc. I could go on forever but my advice would be to smile at the rude racist people and enjoy your time with your son anyway.

I'm really surprised to not see any response on this post from people of white background.. You are right smiling and walking away is the best option..

I am a white US citizen in Michigan and this is not acceptable especially with a child. Come to US, we have Indian neighbors and we love them. My daughter’s preschool teacher is also from India, and we love her!

Re the farm, some people just don’t like children and I think that’s regardless of race.

However I am sorry that you have experienced this and feel it’s because of your race. I would agree with smiling and walking away, I’d like to think those people are the minority.

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Ovulation test

Please please someone clarify if this test is positive. Im pretty sure it is but Im in disbelief at the minute I haven’t ovulated in 8 months. I feel like crying lol. When is the best time to have sex?

Ovulation test

I know this group is for pregnancy test but just want to double check this ovulation test is positive. I haven’t had a positive ovulation test in months and months I think Im gonna cry. When is best to have sex after a positive ovulation test and how likely is it to get pregnant?
