Why do I think this way? Is it normal?
So my boyfriends ex and mother of his child (I DESPISE saying ‘baby momma’ for anyone, not just her)
Struggles really bad with acne all over her body.
I used to have the same exact issue, actually I think my acne was worse because it was my entire body even my BUTT, just huge giant cysts and it turned out to be hormonal so birth control helped but nothing has worked for her personally. Then it got me thinking,
My mom actually started a soap making business because she saw how badly that my acne affected my self esteem and mental health so she started making homemade soap and started with an acne soap that’s her best seller. She made it specifically for me, and even though birth control has made the issue way less severe, I can still get very bad break outs but her soap is like amazing and helps tremendously. It’s the reason I no longer have back acne.
I also noticed that their son has really bad eczema and when my mom started her business she started making soap for everything, including eczema and it has the highest reviews it’s like #2 on the best seller list besides the acne soap so I washed him in that soap last time he was over and it helped his skin calm down just after one bath and then of course his lotion after that too. (Yes i asked if I could do that) I told her about the soap worked the next day when we met up to give him back to her and she was like oh wow his skin does look better!
(They have split custody and we all meet up and get or give him back)
I thought, that the next time we pick him up and see her that I could give her a sample of the soap I use for my acne and the soap for bubs eczema and maybe if it works she could buy it from my mom. Even though my moms business is a small business it’s still super cheap and shed probably give it free for the eczema soap for bubs because she adores him.
Also yes we talk to each other like I’ve made an effort to get to know her since you know, she’s my boyfriends child’s mother and isn’t going anywhere and I think it’s important that we get along, and we talk about how we both have anxiety and stuff and she told me about her acne issues. We aren’t best buddies because I feel like that’s kinda weird but we do talk and have each other’s numbers because her son is around me a lot and she wants to know who I am. We also FaceTime each other, like if we have him she FaceTimes me and if she has him we will face time her so it’s not like no contact with their child for a whole week at a time.
I just randomly thought about how weird it was that I was walking around thinking how I could help my boyfriends child’s mother with her skin like.. is that odd or what lol I told my boyfriend about it and he said “it isn’t that weird, you met someone who’s struggling with the same kinda thing you’ve struggled with and you found something that helped you and want to share that with them. You have a nice heart.”
Usually people don’t have that nice of relationships with their boyfriends/girlfriends ex when children are involved
Please tell me if I’m being a creep or too overboard
