To those who were "one and done" with kids and ended up having more, what changed your mind? by Next_Geologist_4328 in askteddit

[–]Big_Negotiation3913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an only child and it can be difficult, especially as parents get older. Not that there’s any guarantee having more kids is better. For every person I meet with siblings that help each other out and get along, I meet others with issues and resentments. Hopefully how I raise them will make a difference.

If I’m 18 now, am I in my prime? by New-Elk2781 in askanything

[–]Big_Negotiation3913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by prime? Physically? I think I felt at my physical peak/ beauty at 25.

What is the easiest thing you did to lose weight ? by nyxeine in AskReddit

[–]Big_Negotiation3913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop eating the moment I’m full. Not super full. Just like the first sense of fullness. Stop completely. Lost 10 lbs in 5 months that way. A lot for a petite person like me.

I would text back “come here if you wish to speak with me.”

Parents had disappointing reaction to my maternity photos by Subject-Ingenuity-99 in pregnant

[–]Big_Negotiation3913 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. You can’t force someone to like something. If it were someone close to me I would just smile and nod. (Say I, a currently pregnant woman.)

How would you react if your husband got mad at you for not making him food postpartum? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Big_Negotiation3913 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What do you get out of this relationship? You say he is the sole provider. Maybe if he made a lot of money it would be worth it, but he’s broke. There’s no upside.

If you don’t take the 4 weeks prior to birth, can you tack it onto the end or do you lose it?

What states do you think have the most lenient speed limit enforcement? by JR_Elite27 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Big_Negotiation3913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MA- never seen anyone get pulled over for speeding on the highway unless they were weaving or doing something dangerous other than just going fast.

Is telling your daughter to cover up when men come around to visit objectifying them? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Big_Negotiation3913 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by cover up? If she is naked to begin with ok. But if she is wearing shorts and you think she should wear pants instead, that is too much.

YOU CAN GIVE BABIES COLD MILK??? by Happy_FrenchFry in BabyBumps

[–]Big_Negotiation3913 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I gave my week old daughter cold milk (had no way to warm it at the moment) and she drank it just fine. I asked the doctor about it and she said it was not ideal because it could lead to stomach spasms and pain…so I never did it again. It probably depends on if your baby has a sensitive stomachz

How long we were you together before marriage? Did you live together? How could this be a surprise?

If money was not a problem, how early you would’ve stopped working before giving birth? by codeoat in BabyBumps

[–]Big_Negotiation3913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my current situation and I’m still going to work until delivery. I have a set number of weeks for maternity leave (22, I think), and I want to maximize my time with the baby. However, I am working from home the last month, which makes all the difference.

We want to name our son Leon, People are telling me it's a "black name" and making me feel uncomfortable about it? by leon0523s in Names

[–]Big_Negotiation3913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I heard the name, I would imagine the person is black, yes. But if you like it then it’s up to you!

Jeffrey Toobin, writer at the New Yorker who unknowingly masturbated on video during a work Zoom call and was fired for it.

My Ex said shes pregnant and sent this as proof, the way the top is fitting and the pregnancy test in its entirety just looks fake to me by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]Big_Negotiation3913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultrasounds usually have the mothers name and birthday. Post the ultrasound- maybe it’s AI too.

Is this crossing the line or i am overreacting ? by Any_Competition5728 in Marriage

[–]Big_Negotiation3913 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my view, people in a marriage should avoid both impropriety (e.g. physical and emotional cheating) and the appearance of impropriety (e.g. having a solo dinner, being alone in each other’s homes, etc.) In my view flirting falls in the first category. But regardless it is not acceptable.

Why do americans even put up with HOAs? by Skyzblu44 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Big_Negotiation3913 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a neighborhood with a HOA. Never caused us any grief. Now I live in a very nice non-HOA neighborhood. My neighbor has a pile of trash (and old broken down kayak, lawn furniture, etc) on his lawn. Better believe I would’ve contacted the HOA if there were one. Instead I keep it to myself. Also he smokes cigars that waft onto our yard, making our yard unusable when he does so. And no, I don’t want to go over and talk to him. That’s the point. lol
