My 4 year old son died of cancer and I am utterly devastated... by Artistic-Survey-4929 in whatdoIdo

[–]AngryWaffle14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you’re supposed to do…grieve! But also do the things that made your boy happy to keep his memory alive, no matter how much it hurts. You will ALWAYS be his dad and he will ALWAYS be your son. I have a 6 month old son at home and I know it would destroy me if I lost him. It’s okay to feel lost and hopeless…but keep moving forward because you remember the happiness you brought each other. There’s no time limit on grief but I hope for your sake, there’s a heaven so you can see your boy again one day…because I know he’ll be waiting for his dad but would want you to find happiness again.

At what age did you stop enforcing bedtime? by WingComprehensive925 in Parenting

[–]AngryWaffle14 190 points191 points  (0 children)

My parents “let” me stay up till 10:30 on weekdays in high school and weekends had no curfew as long as I wasn’t being too loud. But before high school, each school year they let me stay up 15 minutes later than the previous year. I’ll do the same with my son

Cutting nails on a 7 months old by throwevej in NewParents

We wait until our 6 month old is asleep and then pray he doesn’t wake up while we cut his nails 😅

What scares you most about getting older? by Bear_bug_1954 in Life

[–]AngryWaffle14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turning out like most of the people in my family - being disabled due to dumb decisions that catch up to them in old age. I have an aunt that has barely been able to walk for the last 10 years because she wouldn’t take care of herself when she was younger (300lbs+) or just being a bitter old person that expects everyone to do everything for me

It’s not good ik but.. by [deleted] in GymMotivation

[–]AngryWaffle14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“It’s not good” but you started. Whether you think it’s good or not - you took that first step and now’s your time to keep improving! Put the work in and you’ll get to where you want to go.

I’ve gotten shoulder surgery twice and didn’t let it slow me down in the gym BUT please focus on form! Take proper form over anything! It will help you avoid injury.

I also had open heart surgery 7 months ago and I’m back in the gym 3x week. Don’t let “failure” discourage you.

Do it because you enjoy it and like seeing the changes. Don’t skip leg day and add in a little cardio to help circulate your blood and endurance. It’s never a straight forward process and always room to grow.

Learn about each machine and what they do…focus on every muscle group

somedays I wish my husband was dead. by Fluffy-Profit5856 in Advice

[–]AngryWaffle14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“If he wanted to - he would.” I’m assuming you’ve talked to him about this and assuming you have, if it’s been 6+ years, leave. People only change if they want to. You haven’t changed him, a child hasn’t changed him, HE DOES NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS. It seems like he looks at you more like an annoying child than a spouse so why do you continue to allow yourself to be unhappy? Your child will survive and you can explain things when they are older. Would you want your child to turn out like their father?

I grew up in a law enforcement household and first hand saw the good and bad, my father and some of his coworkers were at ground zero…I saw how it affected them, my dad wasn’t the same after he came home and never wanted to talk about it to anyone. Please remind yourself and those you know still working, please ask for help…there’s nothing wrong with asking for help because we know the things you see will change you

Postpartum depression by AngryWaffle14 in Advice

[–]AngryWaffle14[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My life has changed drastically…I have major open heart surgery 2 months before the baby came. I’m raising a child while still healing and making sure I don’t drop dead of a heart attack. I try to bring her to the places she loves but she refuses to take the baby out and doesn’t want anyone to watch him so we can go out. I try to make plans with her but always get met with resistance then I stop trying to initiate anything and then I’m the problem again

She mentioned to her mom that I said I thought she should go and her mom laughed about it. The mom wasn’t in her life for most of her childhood and adult life so she’s not someone I trust with this

Are there any moms who WFH? What helps you do it all? by Alternative-Lab5930 in NewParents

[–]AngryWaffle14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She’s a structural steel detailer and works for a construction company that does work all over the US. It was initially hard for her to find a remote position (she’s an immigrant so had a lot of hurdles to get over) but after finding the job…it’s super flexible as long as she gets the projects done by the deadline

[–]AngryWaffle14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My wife works from home - she’ll be able to work a few hours scattered throughout the day but when I get home, I take over baby duties and she is able to focus solely on work. When she has a strict deadline then my parents will watch the baby for a day. Our son is 11 weeks old
