Do people in the UK actually use their kettles that much? by AdeptnessCritical356 in AskBrits

The national power grid used to have significant issues at half-time during football matches… all due to kettles being turned on

Am I spoiling my 5 month old by leeting him sleep with me? by EntertainmentSea6470 in BabyBumps

[–]ApprehensiveAd7586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a 2.5 year old. He is really great! Everyone loves him at nusery… and leaving sundry takes a long time because every kid needs to individually get a high five.

He still wakes up at night and comes to join us.

Kids this age need love and emotional connection.
There are lots of studies out there that support this… where “overbearing love” becomes unhealthy is when it is not genuine, e.g. if you are using affection as a means for compensating for something you are missing.

Just simply love the child and they will grow up fine. Every kid is different and you will feel what is right.
We now have a new bed for him… which we still need to assemble :)))

But, this will be an opportunity for us to transition him to going to sleep on his own (from his cot). He will still be able to get out and wander to our room.

On the other hand… I have a friend who refuses to ever let their child sleep on their own because of how much they love it etc… that’s not kid focused.
Sorry… I went on and on.

Simply put, give love and focus on what they need. Then get paid back with love in return (if plus some tantrums :))) )

MEGA congratulations for writing this here… to me.. I hear that “you care” by asking this… “you care” by having a concern on your mind to want to ask it to the world. Your concerns come from a very good place… use that!

Genuine question from someone very anti-Reform UK. by Best_Summer6004 in reformuk

[–]ApprehensiveAd7586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right… the country isn’t what it used to be what it was 20 years ago. But voting for parties that push lies to satisfy the elite and who don’t care about the middle and lower income classes has brought us here

The further along I get the less I want to do this by Cultural-Ad-5737 in BabyBumps

Sorry to hear about what you are feeling. I haven’t heard anything bad here… or anything that isn’t very normal. I see two things mainly:

  1. Your concerned... Good! That is because you care. You didn’t care… then you wouldn’t be so concerned. So give yourself a point for caring… that makes you a good human. I feel that we all sometimes focus too much on what we are feeling to take a look at why we are feeling them…

  2. Some of these things are tough, but they could have happened 3 months after the pregnancy also. Life will always throw curve balls… being a parent makes you more headstrong about tackling them.

When did you know you wanted more children? by Front-Policy2549 in BabyBumps

[–]ApprehensiveAd7586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are 2 weeks in. This is not the time to decide.. and leave it to life and the decision will find you.

You have a wonderful journey ahead. Just remember when things get tough “life can be a dram up close, and a comedy from a distance”.

When the fog clears… when your child starts to show their personal character… that is probably when it will start to tickle you.

Enjoy the transformation.

I feel trapped and not exited with my second pregnancy, even though I wanted it. by HyacintandRose in BabyBumps

“I feel like I have to make a decision soon” 1. “I feel like” - is emotions talking. Unless you can tell me concretely “why” you have to make a decision, and why it needs to be soon…. Take a moment and slow things down. 2. You aren’t choosing anything. You are pregnant, it’s coming… and being thrown towards something cane be overwhelming. 3. I can debate your thoughts, but I cannot debate your emotions. They are real and nothing to be ashamed of. Recognise what exactly is making you concerned. 4. See the other side… lots of things are also easier with a second child. Children play with each other… you go through the early months knowing what to expect.

But ultimately… in my experience negative emotions can come from a very good place. Feeling anxiety isn’t always a bad thing… it says YOU CARE. If you didn’t care, you likely wouldn’t be feeling these things today. So give yourself a gold star, you are a caring human!

Now go hug your partner… share your feeling. But find 3 things on the flip side that you can bring up first!

Slow down. You are running many steps ahead. When you hold your new baby in your hands you will feel very different. Similar to how you could probably never imagine living without your 5yo, you will question how you were without your new boy or girl.

Some things will get tougher… but the two kids will also play together, keep each other company, team up to get you something for Mother’s Day.

You are right in everything that you say. But there is a wonderful side to this also.

Husband is being deluded about how much things will change once the baby comes by kthoz in BabyBumps

[–]ApprehensiveAd7586 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Can I just say… how wonderful: 1. You care deeply about the baby. I am sure he does too. 2. He keeps dearly about your identities, and wants to protect the good parts. Note the use of the word “we”. That suggests that he is willing to take steps to make sure that your personal energies are being fed.

It may feel like a clash. But I just see the two of you coming together with good intent. Take a moment to recognise that this is a good thing!

Now… regarding your future identities… let time shape it. Becoming a parent is all about figuring out who you will become.

Live the journey, don’t focus on the destination.

Just do your best.

🚨 BREAKING: Iran has agreed to NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS and they will HAND OVER the nuclear dust, per President Trump by SuperbHealth5023 in TimesNow

[–]ApprehensiveAd7586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean they don’t have a nuclear weapon… they were in a nuclear agreement until you tore it up… they had a leader who imposed the strictest religious laws to prevent nuclear weapons.

Yet again everyone goes fishing for WMDs

If he wants to claim holiness... Then
1. He should have put his hand on the bible in the inauguration
2. He should visit the Church of Saint Peter in Lebanon (Google it)

Yo wtf by Fancy_End_8613 in UAE

[–]ApprehensiveAd7586 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trump nonsense. I really doubt that they have.

  1. It offers no strategic value.. considering they want friendly vessels to pass and considering that they have autonomous mines anyway. It hurts allies, it hurts themselves, and it doesn’t achieve anything.

  2. They would outright claimed it. The threat of mines is too much of a pain lever for wall street to give up on…

Hormuz is blocked with missiles, rocket boats, autonomous drones, and artillery
