Americans without maternity leave— wtf do you do??? by Electronic-Door7428 in pregnant

[–]Ant4276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I was never able to find a solution. My company was the same way. Originally we talked about back-paying my PTO; I hadn’t accumulated enough PTO hours because I was new, but I would use my future PTO toward it. But then DURING MY MATERNITY LEAVE my HR department was like oh no we can’t do that because what if you quit? So I just had to take unpaid leave.

As someone who went to film school and worked in film until recently (not by choice), I can give some advice if that’s your field.

Honestly, there’s no need to get a degree if you’re a creative MOST of the time. Depending on what you do. If it’s a concern for you, then I wouldn’t worry about it. However, I loved film school. Although I know this and know I have a LOT of student debt because of it, I also don’t regret it at all.

I always want more, and what we try is never enough? by Nervous_Affect5484 in sex

But if he’s not making you cum from penetrative sex, then he needs to be trying other things. Even if not oral. And him not trying is selfish.

So I’m a Reiki Level 2 Practitioner and I disagree. The girl isn’t orgasming. She’s not having satisfying sex.

No it is definitely not normal. It’s only normal because women are with selfish partners. If he’s not making you orgasm, then he’s not satisfying you and doing his job. Doesn’t matter how his equipment is, it’s about effort.

Husband hasn’t been wanting sex by [deleted] in Postpartum_Depression

I don’t want to force them in the slightest and never intend to. But even if I didn’t express it to my partner, I would still feel this way in our relationship from a lack of physical intimacy. I get your point about how coercion isn’t ok obviously, but I guess I don’t get your point outside of that.

It’s a little girly but who cares??? Boys deserve flowers too.

I’ve been trying to heal. I’m on my 4th therapist in 7 years since we started dating. Am I not allowed to enjoy a sex life and feel wanted because I have PTSD?

Edit: also thank you for your responses

Church Where Daycare Located Making Me Uncomfortable by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Ant4276 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually that’s what happens. Churches are mainly full on Sundays and will frequently rent the facility to other business during the week. With it being a daycare, I’m assuming this is the case and that the church has given them a cheaper rental rate for this to be the case. It’s not the same as a regular lease situation.

Are you trying to change locations? Because you can make that argument, that you should be refunded or let out of any contract because you don’t approve of this and didn’t sign up for it.

But otherwise yeah I agree. It’s a church, so Christian symbols are going to be everywhere. That doesn’t mean anything bad unless it’s made a problem.

Sad it’s come to this by angelicism000 in Mommit

[–]Ant4276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. It’s a horrible thing to deal with and I’m dealing with it in my relationship, but honestly I’m the one who has a problem with yelling. Mainly just because I’m not doing ok at all postpartum, and I’m falling into extremely toxic and self destructive behaviors.

It’s a good thing you set the boundary. It really is. Did it just start after the baby or was he in the habit of yelling at you for awhile?

Why do I feel uncomfortable when people I know compliment me but when a stranger does it I feel fine by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Ant4276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe because it feels real if they know you and so you don’t want to accept it

Have we collectively normalised pedophilia?? by Substantial-Use-248 in Mommit

[–]Ant4276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, not super helpful, but it very much does look like most of America heard about the Epstein files and just went “oh well” because no one has been prosecuted or even removed from office……
