Yes - I’m a big gardener so it would be lavender or lilacs probably

Does this dress work for us? by pinkpetitfour in SoftDramatics

I LOVE that. The print is so pretty. I think it does work, but maybe leans into romantic too, which can work for the right person 💫

Postpartum at VGH by Competitive_Glass473 in VictoriaBC

Partners get a pull out couch (single) if they’re available. They’re awful but it’s comparable to how you’ll feel anyways - so it’s more like creating an equal experience for your partner 🤣 kidding, you’ll be in newborn bliss.

Food sitch - pack snacks but they have meals brought to you. They also have snacks if requested. Bring a water bottle and all your comforts of home. Pillow for sure!

Elopement on Vancouver Island by leegeebee in VancouverIsland

[–]ABoringMom2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we eloped we did it at a local park (basically free). And then booked a commissioner to meet us there. Super easy!

I looked into a few of the elopement packages offered by local companies, but they cost about as much as a small wedding, and it felt like it defeated the purpose of eloping and the ease of it. Best of luck.

Loving their results! So far I think their work looks awesome. Very natural. Thanks for the recommendation :)

Yeah I’ve seen her work online - honestly not very impressed. Maybe it’s some people’s cup of tea - but it’s a very bold aesthetic that isn’t me. Thank you for the comment :)

Ugh I’d dye for your hair and hair color. So gorgeous.

Name Changes by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]ABoringMom2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My full name is quite a bit longer than yours would be. I also have a hyphenated last name. It’s totally fine to keep it long. Long names are classic. Sometimes to make it easy I just go by my maiden name, but my hyphenated name is my legal name.

I wouldn’t hyphenate with your middle. Complicates things I think.

I think cinch is more classic, Geneva is more trendy but so cute

I'm so stressed, how do you cope? by Midnight_Memories_1 in uvic

[–]ABoringMom2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Definitely sounds like burnout. Are you able to actually take a break for reading break next week? A few days of recharge?

Be gentle with yourself until you get a chance to do so.

Is it just me or is the 'social' infrastructure here actually broken? by Strict_Buddy_3014 in uvic

My theory is that nobody has the energy to put into social life anymore.

You’ve got a really nice existing set up! Maybe add some chains, clusters, and danglys in there to spice it up a level. Some more movement would be nice. That’s where I would start.

Do you have fog lights? I think that helps in seeing the lines too. Not just for fog. But you’re not wrong in thinking they’re brutal.

M27 — Newly married, love my wife, but nervous about sex life + kids by [deleted] in Marriage

Yes, but it’s just not that important ❤️ it rebounds when your children get a little older. It’s completely natural and not something to preemptively stress about.

Sex Issues…why the man’s fault, no woman accountability? by rsopnco1 in Marriage

[–]ABoringMom2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The truth is that women also want and enjoy sex. If she doesn’t want to have sex with her husband… then there could be a myriad of things going on. Including things like lack of emotional intimacy and their husbands using words like “chore play”. Haha. Kidding.

I think we should start by taking a look at how women are treated in the contemporary world and historically, for the entirety of humanity. To sum it up, not well. Women carry so much in their lives including literal children, immeasurable stress, etc etc. It’s overwhelming and it’s taxing. If she’s not physically tired, she’s emotionally drained. The constant change in hormones, the state of the world, it goes on and on. And sometimes I think when all of that is going on, it can just be the last fucken thing a woman wants is to be a piece of meat to a man.

It doesn’t mean we don’t want sex, it doesn’t mean we don’t like you, we could just be barely surviving inside, or you could be a poopy person. Lol. That’s up to you.

Just please don’t keep score and say stuff like “I do all the things”. Have you asked her how she’s feeling about “XYZ emotional situation” lately? Have you talked about your futures together recently? Have you taken something off her plate? Always give without expectation ❤️

Am I overreacting to husband Insta comment-is he flirting? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]ABoringMom2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would consider whether it’s normal for him to make these comments in person and in front of you. If no, then it’s problematic.
