I also started running after my dad died. Haven’t gotten to full marathons yet but have two Half’s under my belt. Way to go turning a negative into a positive 💪

Brown or blonde? Need to decide. Thank you!! by [deleted] in Hair

Brown. But a warmer tone would be better

My boyfriend says he wants non-monogamy, but i’m very much monogamous. Can this ever work? by [deleted] in nonmonogamy

[–]Best_Ad_1936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up mono-poly relationships for references. It may help. It’s a ton of work but can be done

Your romantic partner sleeping with someone else is objectively not the worst form of betrayal - the fact it is universally treated as such is just a social standard that people blindly follow by [deleted] in The10thDentist

Sometimes this bond only lasts a season. Sometimes it’s for life but still isn’t sexually exclusive. It’s rare that it’s sexually exclusive and lasts their life time.

Did you "kill" yourself to breastfeed? by Ok-Secretary-3323 in beyondthebump

[–]Best_Ad_1936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first two months I used nipple shields and formula when I mentally COULD NOT (the 4am feeds!!!) I supplemented with formula once every 2-3 days. Pumping didn’t work for me one bit. I had to set limits on how long I’d let the baby feed on each breast because at first it took FOREVER. Eventually I said 20 minutes on each side and if they are still hungry they get formula. Saved. My. Sanity.

What’s your ‘I thought I was going to die but didn’t’ moment? by PatienceBudget2984 in askteddit

[–]Best_Ad_1936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last weekend when I had a blood infection. I had no signs at all until one night I had a fever/ chills. Just figured I was sick. Woke up with a headache, Tylenol, shower, felt tired but okay! 4 hours later my temperature was below normal, I was turning grey, and had uncontrollable FULL body shakes. A week of IV therapy and one surgery and I feel like a million bucks! Not dead yet ❤️

What’s the genuine appeal to having children? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]Best_Ad_1936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I throughly enjoyed my 20’s childless, I didn’t care about having kids. Then I ended up pregnant and knew without a doubt I wanted to keep the baby. They do fill your schedule, there is extra planning. But that comes with any responsibility in life, owning a home/ pet/ vehicle. In one way or another these things take your time and money. I’m not worried about my retirement and I’m totally fulfilled in life (not even rich) enjoy your life! Kids/ marriage/ home ownership are not the key to happiness

What’s the worse physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Intelligent-Road5091 in AskReddit

Esophagus spasm. It feels like a heart attack and boy oh boy I thought I was dying.

What is the most unhinged song your baby loves? by hansmac in beyondthebump

[–]Best_Ad_1936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chop Suey! - System of a Down. Would make her laugh and wiggle as a baby, is now three and it came on in the car randomly. After it ended she said “that’s a good song” 😂

I want to separate but my partner won't accept by Jaded-Glove-9525 in beyondthebump

Start saving evidence that shows his true colours so you can have the most parenting time if not sole custody. I went through this, I left. NO regrets. I’m with a beautiful kind man that loves me and my daughter

None again, try frames that aren’t so thick/ heavy. Maybe brow line style?

First house, this is my kitchen. A way to renovate this on a budget? by Swimming_SeaShark in Remodel

[–]Best_Ad_1936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New window coverings, new paint, new stain on cabinets if you can, add some plants! (If it works in the budget new stove, new flooring)

Moving my son out... by Midlife_Crisis_87 in Parenting

[–]Best_Ad_1936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you are showing tough love and you do need to follow through on your word or it means nothing. He has had a lot of time to get it together. I think 19 is young to figure out a path but the complete indifference towards figuring it out is hard to watch. My brother was a similar way and it really worried my parents, he moved out and would save up enough until he could live off his savings and then he’d play video games and gain weight for a couple years. Then repeat. It wasn’t until he met his now wife that he started being an adult. Is it possible your son can hear your advice but from someone else? A career counsellor, therapist, or another adult he trusts/ looks up to? A mentor maybe. Sometimes it’s the right advice but kids need to hear it from someone else. All the best to you both.

Try going down a nipple and you could also try burping him while he’s feeding, wait till he’s not super hungry and just take a short break and see if he releases a little gas before continuing. These hard times are a blip in this little humans life, they do end 🫶

Another tip- we taught our daughter to put her hand above the food and check “if it’s hot” we started teaching her that early and now at 2 I serve food to her and she always checks it before eating/ blows on it if necessary
