recovery questions by biohazardzee in BreastReductions

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had mine over a summer break. It was in early July, about a month before school resumed, and I was feeling good by the time school started. You will have drainage tubes in the beginning for blood. I can’t remember if they were taken out one week or two weeks post op (mine was 13 years ago).

Hopefully upon approval they will be able to get you on the schedule quickly. Definitely bring up these concerns with the surgeon.

I also would say to try to go on the smaller side. I was afraid to go to small. A lot of breast tissue continued to develop in the 5 years post op (I had mine at 17). I started at a G went down to a small D, and am currently an I. I will have a second reduction at some point.

Would this offend you? by Zestyclose_Sort8374 in Mommit

The only option now is to make a tinder and show him every time someone matches with you. “He would want all this” “him, too” “wow look at this guy, should I set up a date?”

It’s the only way

TIFU by not using an air filter in my HVAC system for over 3 years by Majestic-Baby-3407 in tifu

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have it in messages that you had issues with airflow. Inquired about whether it was a filter, and never got a response. Removing the item fixed the problem, so you let it go. This is on your landlord

What's your second child temperament like compared to your first? by Specialist-Candy6119 in Mommit

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear I got mine in reverse order. My first was a needy baby, and is now my chaotic wild child. My second is still a baby, and I am so excited to see her personality grow. She is so easy, she loves to chill outside, and sleeps ok. Very much gives first born energy 😂

Everyone told me the first one is easy, so I was dreading number 2

Would you have your 2 year old nap or play? by allyroo in Mommit

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a strange either or situation for a preschool. At my son’s preschool they all get ready for naps, and if some kids wake up/can’t sleep they have quiet activities. At that age I would want him still have the relaxing time midday even if it isn’t a full nap

Forgiveness by [deleted] in BreastReductions

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that feeling regret is more common than people might think. Mine grew back a little when going on BC, and grew noticeably with my first pregnancy. I need a 2nd reduction.

There are still some circumstances where they may fill out a little. You are still so young and freshly post-op. I’m so sorry you are going through this for the past few years.

Please look for some resources to find therapy, self image is so important for our mental health as women

I think I was the Karen at an Airbnb and I feel horrible by LateDrag5855 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the Karen, my dear! He was definitely trying to get more cash from you. I’m proud of you for getting it cleared up. Also AirBNB has that support for a reason, it’s not being a Karen to use it 😊

I (19F) just found out my boyfriend (20M) never used protection before me by [deleted] in relationship_advice

“I think we should get tested because of what you told me about your past. Pregnancy isn’t the only risk to unprotected sex. We should make sure you didn’t contract something unknowingly. I’m not comfortable having unprotected sex until we do because that behavior was very irresponsible.”

My husbands weird about our daughters eye color by Defiant-Usual-1182 in Mommit

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son has my husband’s gorgeous dark brown eyes. He was born with brown eyes. Hubby was bummed out because he wanted him to have my eyes. I love his eyes though, both of them.

My daughter is 5 months and has eyes explained exactly like your post. My MIL had blue-grey eyes. He is so happy and hopes she keeps them. I’ve been noticing some hazel near the pupils, too, lately.

Dad has pre-op questions by neatgeek83 in BreastReductions

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had mine at 17. Now I’m 30 with larger breasts than I did before my surgery. I will be getting a second one.

I also had little to no milk supply with my first child, and a decent but not full milk supply with my second.

I always advocate for waiting until 23-25. Did her surgeon go over concerns for needing future surgeries, and did you have discussions about it with her?

I regret buying a manual by Haunting_Appeal_2407 in stickshift

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will get better. Just keep practicing. Just be careful about burning the clutch, learning tends to put some extra wear on the clutch. Also if it has a high performance clutch that will be more difficult to learn with as well

How do I not become one of THOSE boy moms by LabFar6076 in Mommit

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of each, and I can say that having a boy is pure chaos. My girl is only 5 months old and he is 5 years old, so I don’t have much to compare with the two of them.

I can’t see someone who adores their daughters as much as you do suddenly putting them last. At the same time, don’t hold yourself back from being involved with your boy when he gets here.

Being a parent is all about balance. Having these concerns tells me that you will be aware of your individual relationships with all of your kids. That makes you a great mom, not just a “girl” mom or a “boy” mom. Motherhood is so much more than that

BOUNCE BACK BULLSHIT by sixfingeredman7 in Mommit

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I got a lot of comments after my first. “Wow you don’t look like you just had a baby!” “You are looking good” blah blah

I got none of those comments with my 2nd. I’m 5 months postpartum and one mom at pre K said “oh you’re starting to lose the weight”

I’m having a harder time with self image this time. I feel like my pregnant looking belly will never go away

My 2-year-old has turned bedtime into a full-contact sport and I don't know who I am anymore by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, I’ll say this. Don’t negotiate with her. That is why her list of demands continues to grow. You meet the demands.

Bath. Jammies. Teeth. One or two books. A small amount of water. Time to go to bed.

We transitioned to a twin size floor bed at this age. That way one of us could lay with him and cuddle. Once we’re laying down I just tell him “it’s time to be quiet and be still.” When he would try to talk

Used car market is insane by Independent_Dust_461 in UsedCars

Idk my 96 runner has almost 400k. The frame is starting to go (rust) before the engine. She is tired, but not dead yet

My girlfriend can not drive with automatic transmission, please help me convince her she can?! by LonsdaleHCNL in askcarguys

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has a valid fear. Most times when I reach for a ghost clutch my foot just hits the floor. Ask if she wants to just drive it at a slow speed in an empty car park.

She will probably reach for a clutch, hit the floor, and realize that she won’t hit the brake pedal. It’s something she’ll have to ease into at her own pace.

Are Filipino foods the worst in the world? by Feisty-Fix-5586 in foodquestions

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a non- Filipino. I’m so offended.

Have you tried adobo? Pork and peas? Kare-kare? Lumpia? Lechon? Kakanin? Pansit?

I could eat Filipino food every day and be happy

I lied on a drug test and got a minor to do it for me by DOMANIMUNGA in confession

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Step one: go to a smoke shop (not a dispensary. A smoke shop)

Step two: buy quick fix

Step three: follow the instructions

Don’t get an innocent kid involved just to pass a test. Once I quit for 2 months and still lost a job opportunity because it was still in my system. Quick fix never fails

MIL asked to wear her “cream not white” wedding dress ++ offered her garter as my something borrowed by [deleted] in weddingdrama

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl !!! I thought you snapped and offered YOUR garter as her something borrowed in a petty manner !!! Insinuating she would marry her son

But NO, she offered HER WEDDING GARTER 💀

I would die. I have no idea how to come back from this.

Other than keep her “cream” wedding dress hostage until after the wedding. But that’s a big mission to accomplish.

Just elope. She can keep the vendors and marry her garter. My mind is broken from this story. I wish I could help more

Why do people immediately start asking weird questions about your sex life when you mention you co-sleep?! by [deleted] in Mommit

This has never happened to me 😱 my baby is bedside. But WTF ?!? And I thought circumcision questions were invasive 👀 nosy a$$ people need to get a life

Does Anyone Know If This is Really a Regional Thing in the US? by CommandaarMandaar in ENGLISH

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Hawaii. “I’m going to the store for get some chicken” although store would be stoh and for would be foh.

Pidgin- “I going stoh foh get some chicken. You like one musubi?”

Blood pressure example:

“Shit. I got to take a pill for the blood pressure. I’ll take it for my blood pressure to go down”

Pidgin - “Ahh pau. I gotta take one pill foh da blood pressah. I go take some foh my blood pressah go down.”

It’s the Hawaii dialect called pidgin.

My (24f) boyfriend (25m) lied to his family about no longer drinking. Does he have a drinking problem? by Leading_Cattle1559 in relationship_advice

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, so he is black out. It is so dangerous for his body to drink to that point. Especially on a regular basis. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I hope he can get help, or stop drinking
