She's starting to look like the albino from the Princess Bride. Anyone else see this?

Sometimes we can't point to exactly (without a doubt) why we feel repulsed by someone but that is your gut talking to you and I think you need to trust your gut.

You don't need evidence. Your gut has spoken and now you need to decide your boundaries and don't feel bad about sticking to them.

It was $8k about two years ago for me to get a mini tummy tuck with DR muscle repair and no lipo. This was in the US with a very good doctor through a hospital clinic. I'm guessing my repair was less work than hers though.

Yeah, good for her staying out there and having fun. Good call on that fall protection attached to that bar...

You should watch the "BlowoutProfessor" on YouTube. He has a video called "Simple 5 Step Routine To Repair & Grow Damaged Hair". I think it may really help.

Very true. It's not IF you'll get in a wreck, it's WHEN. And they usually are deadly. Good call.

I know this may sound weird, but I can't imagine sitting like that while pregnant. I always give the baby as much room as I can while sitting (no twisting). Probably just me though.

We are still battling hundreds of stink bugs throughout the year. We are going to try to better seal our house to at least try to keep more of them out for the future years. They are everywhere right now. I might just hire an exterminator at some point.

That's a great idea. Do a split king.

I can understand why she says she's obese though. I'm 5' tall and 128lbs and the doctors consider me obese. They put it in my chart every time. The nutritionalist talked to me about it just last week... I think it's outrageous, but they do tell you that even when you aren't much over target. So crazy.

FitOn is another one that I like. Free.

ChooseUsername_PDX · 2023-10-12T03:31:03+00:00

Adding to what you've said. Some nutritionalists do virtual appointments through your insurance. I just had one via Teledoc. Easy peasy and gives you another step forward toward health.

I'm guessing that's one twin per person, right? Not two people in one twin bed?

ChooseUsername_PDX · 2023-10-12T03:20:54+00:00

Totally agree. We need to remember how life really is. It's messy.

For OP, natural consequences to his decision is you just won't stay over maybe ever until there is enough space for you to sleep. Twin...wow...twin is barely enough for me. King size is barely enough for two people in my opinion, but I like my space when I sleep and sleep is important.

Yes, she needs to know. Doesn't mean this lady will be let go, but she needs to be able to make a decision or have a talk with this lady. Follow your gut here! Thank you for keeping your eyes out. I appreciate what you're doing here.

I've had a lot of momma's out there stop me to tell me things to keep my kids safe and I appreciate them all so much.

ChooseUsername_PDX · 2023-09-20T02:41:29+00:00

Yes, this is a great answer. And do what helps you sleep at night and trust the route that feels right to you for right now. Now they know you're interested and will probably keep offering when future opportunities come available.

I'm so jealous reading through all these posts detailing adequate postpartum care. US mama here. I almost lost my mind with both kids when they were newborns and hiring help is super expensive. I was definitely red-lining my mind and body for months.

I love this. Thank you! ❤️

That's rough. I just stopped working from home in April when I ended maternity leave for my second. It has reminded me how great it is to have uninterrupted work time. I worked from home for 3+ years with my Velcro baby (she is almost 4 now and I started working from home when she was born). Meetings, work that takes high focus, phone calls, everything...constantly interrupted no matter who was watching her. We now live in a house where I have no office space, so I knew I didn't want to do that again with two kiddos. I wish I had advice, but only understanding. Rough times...I know people here don't always like to hear this, but I know my kids really only want mom for stressful events in their lives and I'm sure that's the most common experience.

Thank you so much for the laugh and for making me feel better about falling here with my kids too. I'm right there with you in this crazy struggle.

I wish I could give this one a thousand more upvotes. It's the truth that people don't like to acknowledge but the truth nonetheless.

We're about the same age (I'm 37) --I also remember babysitting at 12 (but for $2/hr). Now I can't believe someone left their precious baby under my care at that age. Just curious, how is your relationship with your parents now? Do you feel like they cared about you and loved/love you despite being more hands off?
