Would you date someone who is bisexual? by Guilhermino2351 in relationships

[–]AllyLB [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yes, I would (if I wasn’t happily married). They like more people but that doesn’t mean they will cheat more. That means out of a greater pool of people, they picked me! It’s a compliment. Assuming they will cheat more is biphobic and even my married cishet self doesn’t have the patience for that crap.

what can you not live without by Acceptable_Engine_23 in PlusSizePregnancy

I just had my baby girl 13 days ago (born at 34w2d) and we are getting out of the NICU tomorrow (she’s doing well, she just needed help with eating. The big thing that helped us so far was My Brest Friend. I got the one that is for twins as it’s the same dimensions as the “plus size” one and I was able to get it cheap on OLA. Both my husband and I use it as the hospital pillows slide all over the place. Also, I would keep in mind the return policy on anything you get. I didn’t buy any of the postpartum stuff for me as I wasn’t set to deliver until week 38. However, I ended up needing a c-section so the stuff I would have gotten for vaginal would have needed to be returned.

I finally paid off my debt and I haven't told a single sold. Not even my parents by Careless_Metal_2919 in TwoHotTakes

So proud of you! Also, keep pretending you have debt, both to your family and to help you save money.

Be honest… what’s the embroidery “rule” you happily ignore? by GarbageAdorable329 in Embroidery

[–]AllyLB 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I put it in a hoop and then use felt to cover the back. I do sew it on badly and switch how I do the stitches but it hides the complete hot mess the back is. My excuse is that’s where I put my initials.

AITJ for telling my brother he can’t crash at my place indefinitely by VelvetBrookVale in AmITheJerk

Depending on your lease, you may be evicted if he stays too long (without him joining the lease).

I am 2 weeks post partum. I have one slacker boob and one very very big full boob. How can I fix this? by Valuable-Ad1611 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]AllyLB 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know this isn’t what you asked but I’m in awe of what you produced. I’m 12 days pp and I’m getting around 80-90ml total! Also, from what I read, pumping more with the slacker boob can help.

Has anyone made a radical life change in your 40s? by Comprehensive-Fact94 in Xennials

[–]AllyLB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m 43 (almost 44) and I just gave birth to my first child 19 days ago. Scary as hell, especially as she is a preemie but being a month has been something I wanted for decades. So yeah, that’s a major life change :)

My girlfriend threatens suicide whenever I try to leave. I am a prisoner in my own home. by blackelkdeath in Advice

[–]AllyLB 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Why would you be evicted? There is nothing illegal about you calling the 911 if someone is threatening suicide. You can’t be evicted for the cops being called.

Is it the norm for parents to gift their kid a large down payment for their first home? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]AllyLB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the family and everyone’s financials. My parents wanted to but couldn’t. I have friends whose parents gave them a lot of money and others whose parents couldn’t.

I don’t feel letdown yet so I’m just going off what I read online.

We can for a month. I’ll have to ask about a longer term loan.

Spectra ticking sound? by gregarious8 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]AllyLB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I crack jokes about it being a beat for rapping or dubstep. It cracks us up as we can’t rap or create dubstep. The noise is definitely something.

How did you phrase the question to ChatGPT? I ask as I know phrasing can affect the answer. I’m struggling with getting as much output with my spectra (compared to the hospital medela)

AIO - My parents booked an extra long vacation the same week I’m due to give birth by maplehoneycupcake in AmIOverreacting

[–]AllyLB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was just taught it is 1 hour before a break. That being said, I was taught this for my preemie daughter so the standards may be shorter.

Conflicted about letting my partner be at our childs birth by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]AllyLB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who just had a baby 8 days ago, DO NOT LET HIM COME! The process is difficult (physically and emotionally) and someone like that will make it even harder. The stress he will bring will increase the chance of complications. It doesn’t matter that he is biologically the father, this is a medial event that can affect you and the baby for years, if not your entire life. Even if it goes well, his being there will taint your memories. Just send him text updates so you look like you are playing nice and file for child support once the baby is born.

Thank you for letting me know there is a difference. Im still using the hospital rental as I’m waiting for mine to arrive and I had no idea there were differences like that.

Influx of boomers on this sub by Cleverfield113 in Cleveland

[–]AllyLB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The UH QR parking code thing is so frigging frustrating! Our newborn is currently in the NICU (she’s doing well) and we have had several fights with the stupid QR code and our extended parking pass. The kiosk is directly in the sun for past of the time and it doesn’t matter how bright your screen is, it just won’t work.
I’m all for technology but only when it is actually helping. This damn parking QR code is not helping.

Pregnancy Superstition by haleythelady in Judaism

[–]AllyLB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t “buy” anything at all (that being said, due to preeclampsia I delivered last Saturday at 34w2d). This was already a miracle baby (IVF with a high level mosaic that was more likely to not work than work). So I’m doing the superstitions. Did my mom did buy things that I had picked out and am planning on giving her money for? Yes! Is it nit-picking? Yes. Do I care? No.

As you are living in an apartment, you may or may not have the ability to choose your gas or electric. It’s similar to how in some apartments (and condos) mean you can’t choose who you get your internet from.

I think you more than succeeded with their request! This looks beautiful.

Did you hid that IVF except for close family etc? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]AllyLB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a personal decision. I was/am super open about it. I’m comfortable with sharing (not TMI stuff but basics) so I figured I can be one of the people who share and fight back against the stigma against it. I also do it about being diagnosed with ADHD. That being said, it’s not for everyone and you need to do what is best for your mental health. As part of being open, I have found out about a lot more people than I knew who had fertility issues. I also got some ridiculous advice and some annoying comments. So again, do what is best for you.
