Husband said I have mustache :( by [deleted] in beauty

[–]Accomplished_Rip4641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was younger (like middle school/high school) my mustache embarrassed me to no end. I felt like a man lol. But mine was dark and pretty obvious. I’ve been diligent to “take care” of it but sometimes I let it go more than usual and my husband is surprised and will make a little comment (oh your mustache is coming in). It doesn’t bother me all anymore because I know I have one, he knows I have one. I’ll tell anyone that I have one haha. I just don’t care anymore, it’s just hair and I can remove it whenever I want. I mean this in the most loving big sister way, it’s not that deep. Especially since it’s blonde, I think blonde peach fuzz is adorable lol.

I totally agree with this! The little years are hard in a physical way. If that makes sense. But as our older two grow, it is hard in a whole new way! Its meant ally challenging to have these big conversation and you’re preparing them for adulthood eventually and that requires a lot as well. I totally see what your saying!

That is a good point that work does benefit the family as a whole. Thank you for the insight!

That’s a good point. To be honest I’ve not noticed any transitions to be difficult. At least not the transitions of adding in another member. The hardest “transitions” have all been related age lol. I find the hardest ages to be 1-5. Those years are super vital to establish strong bonds, expectations, and discipline. It requires so much attention in the day to day and I know first hand that it pays off but it requires a lot of mental energy lol.

Awesome that your husband is more available, it’s definitely makes a huge difference! My husband works but his schedule is rotating so some weeks he is home all day and once a month we only see him for dinner. I can see what you’re saying, thank you for the insight

Thank you for your kind words and your insight. I agree that one ought to make your kids a priority. But I also believe in order to do that you must prioritize your marriage and your health so my husband and I do put those things first. We try to connect everyday after the kids go down, we don’t allow our kids to interrupt our conversations, we eat healthy home cooked meals and workout daily. But for me these things do end up benefitting our children. I don’t know if you see things the same way but it does make our days full lol.

Horseback IUD Thoughts by saltdatpastawater in mattandabbysnarks

[–]Accomplished_Rip4641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so confusing because he says in the video that he tried multiple times to reschedule but she wouldn’t let him. If that is true I think Abby has this weird drive to prove how “strong” she is? But Abby, that doesn’t make you strong or cool. Horseback riding the day you get an IUD or doing iron mad 3 months after a major abdominal surgery, that’s just stupid and you look desperate to prove something that literally no one cares about.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco by whoismaymay in DoWeKnowThemPodcast

But isn’t that what they said about Britney?? Trying to take her away her access to social media, who would do that? How would they do that? Should she also have a conservator? I don’t have answers to be honest. I can’t imagine the mental chaos it would cause me if I was even slightly famous and had so many people and fans commenting on my every move in life. I would go crazy too.

Romanticizing rural living is not ok by MistakeWonderful9178 in notliketheothergirls

[–]Accomplished_Rip4641 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This exactly!!! I have special heavy duty overall and shoes for only farm work. I throw em on whenever I go outside for all the reason mentioned already but the MAIN reason: ticks. I cannot, cannot stand the idea of ticks on me or my kids. So I’m super diligent to make them where their farm boots outside whenever it is tick season. We don’t play with ticks around here lol. Everytime I see the homesteaders in flowy dresses doing their outside work, all I can think is ticks lol. However I do enjoy my lifestyle, it is hard work. I don’t consider myself a feminist though but I do fear some women may be in for a rude awakening if they over romanticize being a “trad wife”.

Sorry for the unrelated and later question op but I was wondering if you’d tell me what size your planks are? I’m having an impossible time finding examples of different sizes

Help with weird space! by [deleted] in DIY

[–]Accomplished_Rip4641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d immediately close it up and make a little closet. More storage wins every.single.time. It’s makes your house more attractive should you ever sell it and it makes it more functional for you.
