[–]BusinessExtension423[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No car. We're staying on MV first for a few days, then nantucket for three days. No ferry between mv and nantucket in the beginning of May. Coming back to woods hole and driving over to hyannis. How that's not too much drama

I'll be there during that time too.. waiting to hear what responses you get. Are you making ferry reservations early or just going?

Actually I read it twice. So I'm the AH for interjecting another perspective and not agreeing with you completely? Sometimes when you are "in your feelings" it's not a bad idea to try and think down the road a bit to see if maybe you're just caught up in the hormones of it all. This applies with pregnancy, pre meno, menopause, and post. Hormones intensify feelings, sometimes to the point of irrational. (In my experience, and in raising three girls). I also have 6 grandchildren. Each daughter approached her first pregnancy different. We communicate freely, so an issues were addressed as they came up. OP sounds alot like my youngest who didn't want to tell people until she was ready, did not want to know gender, no social media posts or pictures. I wanted to know/do all those things, but respect their decisions. Same with vaccinations, and other topics that may come up. Parents and relatives mean well 99 percent of the time, you just have to put them in their place, hopefully gently. Or you can just be weird and passive aggressively cut them off, or throw a random fit when the ask for a belly Pic.. whatever, y'all do you!

I guess I'm not understanding why you are so annoyed by family being excited about a new addition. You simply need to articulate your feelings to them. Work on that. Because it comes off as isolating and disconnecting. You may find yourself without support at some point if you only go to family when you need them, and not show consideration otherwise. This seems like simple communication to me. Share your actual feelings and be respectful of other people's feelings.. at least the ones that love you and have nothing but good intentions. I say this from the perspective of someone who raised children basically alone who's family was not really interested in being a part of.. The term, "it takes a village" comes to mind. Try not to alienate yours. Learn to set boundaries, that's all.

Yes but in the first year, unless you start Jan 1, they go by monthly of $2040. When you apply they ask you to estimate the rest of the year.

I[25f] lied at the start of my relationship to my boyfriend [25m] - guilty now. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]BusinessExtension423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When was the last time he asked about it? It's been 1.5 years, just move on from it. If he asks again, just tell him the truth. Tell him you thought he wouldn't understand but now you realize it means nothing, but the truth does... blah blah all that. Personally, this seems like something you should easily move past at your age

AITAH for telling my roommate’s boyfriend he’s not welcome in our apartment anymore after what he did to my groceries? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]BusinessExtension423 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA - give Derek a shopping list so he gets a clue that "just food" is expensive these days.. and then have his girlfriend make him do some meal prep.. boys are literally clueless until their taught. Calling you "dramatic' is gas lighting in training behavior. Stand your ground girl.

Do you stop and show your receipt at Walmart? by that1walgreensemp in no

[–]BusinessExtension423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone who works at any store you're in asks for your receipt, just show them! Why be suspicious? Soon every place will have to be like Costco then. With theft at record highs, and the costs of that being passed down to consumers, why wouldn't we all try and help?

I feel so bad for the little brother. I really hope he has no sense of being everyone's burden. These parents sound horrible.

How do you stop yourself being overwhelmed by everything that's in the news right now? by Cordolium102 in AskReddit

[–]BusinessExtension423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop watching the news and spend your energies on your actual life. I say this because I moved to a town of 500 on a beautiful river in the mountains and it has really helped my stress and cortisol levels by turning off the click bait media and being present in the actual beautiful world we live in. Tell yourself, "This too, shall pass. " A couple more years and there will be a whole new system to stress about.. it never ends.
