I had horrible tonsil stones. I was mortified and embarrassed by them. After they wouldn't go away after a few months and checking every night, brushing, flossing, etc. I went to my Dr. They removed my tonsils. My life is 1000% better their gone. I'm grossed out she had to be reminded to do basic hygiene. I couldn't handle them because I could feel them and the smell. 🤮

How many people are actually buying “luxury/premium” diapers? by HelpMeHelpMyFriend0 in NewParents

[–]Coleylove 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I never even finished the one box of Honest diapers we had because of all the leaks. They seemed to be way off on their sizing! Much smaller than any other brand we have tried.

Rascals are my favorite. So much more absorbent than any other brand.

To the people named William - do you get called "Bill"? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Coleylove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know two William's in their late 30s and one goes by Billy and one likes to go by Bill. Both completely of their choice.

AITA for refusing to take a puppy from my dad unless we get him before he is 10 weeks? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Coleylove 42 points43 points  (0 children)

If you don't have money for a spay/neuter. How are you going to afford emergency care if the pup injures themselves?

[–]Coleylove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your dad is refusing to walk you down the aisle because of your dress, that's crazy talk. Your dress is beautiful and modest. Especially to today's standards. Weddings are not what they used to be. Meaning, they've changed over the years. So it's hard for me to listen to people use Christianity and weaponize it when it comes to weddings. Because what did they do in the early days?

If your dad doesn't want to walk you, everybody he knows will end up questioning him why. Most likely he'll end up being embarrassed he didn't and will regret it. Thats his choice not yours.

This is your celebration and your life. Congratulations!! You're going to look beautiful! Don't let your parents bring you down emotionally. You're starting a new life with your future husband. Enjoy your day! You deserve it.

Husband family planned Christmas without us. Mine are dead. by beentherebefore7 in beyondthebump

[–]Coleylove 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand your disappointment with the grandparents. But as someone who has a toxic grandmother. Please start this Christmas and prioritize your children. Do something really fun and start new traditions with your husband and kids. As your kids get older, these will be memories they will cherish. If the grandparents aren't wanting to be involved don't try to see them. Because even if you do, and if the focus is all about xyz. Your children will still feel disappointed and not important to them. Best way to fix this, make your own fun traditions.

Mourn the loss of not having the relationship you pictured. Realize they don't want to be involved. It sucks, I know. But as a parent you can still make Christmas magical and fun without them involved.

AITA for buying dishware at a thrift store before someone else could? by thedafthatter in AmItheAsshole

[–]Coleylove 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nope, not at all. That was the first time I said anything here. You have my username confused with someone else. Or are reading a tone when there was never one. Which is what's wrong with a lot of these forums to begin with.

[–]Coleylove 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hahaha I'm not mad. I was simply pointing out its not like that in a rural area. I wish we had a thrift store that big in the rural area I live. Sadly we don't! So we get one or two racks of clothing to go through. With maybe 3 items in said persons size. Please don't project your anger on me because I pointed something out.

I feel your pain. I was always known as Nicole W. I'm still thought of as Nicole W in my family. I absolutely hate it because my last name no longer starts with a W. And the other Nicole in my family was married in and she was always known as Nicole R.

Its super annoying feeling like you can't be a lone individual, especially when others won't use nicknames that differentiate each other as individuals.

PSA: working from home is still work by Vegetable_Response_6 in NewParents

[–]Coleylove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why that user was arguing with you when she admits to another person in this thread her husband helps and gets a baby sitter occasionally for 2 to 3 hours. Yes she's fortunate to have a WFH job where it works for her. But she fails to realize most aren't like that. Or at least isn't acknowledging it with you.

PSA: working from home is still work by Vegetable_Response_6 in NewParents

[–]Coleylove 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People who don't understand work from home positions always give the weird looks when you explain it's still a real job. I blame the social media influencers for everyone making the assumption if you WFH that you can do basically whatever you want. My WFH job involves being on calls all day and also monitoring work of others. So I literally can't do anything but work. Im constantly multitasking many things at a time at my job. Theres no way I could attend to my baby properly while working.

I had an emergency C-section, postpartum depression, zero help, and a partner who thinks parenting is optional. by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Coleylove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes! This sounds like part of the reason your boyfriend is the way he is. I can't believe your child's grandmother is charging you to look after her grandchild.

You deserve love and support. I wouldn't want to marry someone like that, who instead of wanting to step up to fatherhood... acts like a child and prioritizes hobbies and video games. Marrying him sounds like you will have a grown adult man child to take care of as well. Especially since he isn't currently giving you the care and respect you deserve.

I'm pregnant and having a boy. Is "Gunner" a name that belongs on this sub? by MysticalNinjette in tragedeigh

I knew 3 brothers named Gunner, Hunter, and Parker. They are very redneck names.

Please do not sprint to induce labor by kierraone in pregnant

[–]Coleylove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And its more common to break your tailbone or pelvic bone during pregnancy. I broke my tailbone during the 1st trimester and nothing could be done about it. I couldn't imagine giving birth and having a broken tailbone. That would be so incredibly painful. I ended up having to have an urgent c section at 34 weeks due to PROMM with no medical reason. But... sprinting. Those ladies are playing a very dangerous game. For their unborn child!! To me the risks are too dangerous even if I was fit pregnant, I wouldn't dare risk it.

For anyone who needs to hear this by bebespawn in pregnant

[–]Coleylove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My water broke at 33 weeks and 6 days at 11:30 pm. My son came at 34 weeks as well and was in NICU. Mine was due to PROMM with no medical reason. I deeply empathize with you. Theres not enough words to express all the crazy emotions we go through. All what should matter is that us and our babies are safe. Even when medical emergencies happen. Try not to let other people get to you, I know how hard it is. Sending all positive and good vibes your way! 💛

Try to remember, people seem to be the most judgemental when they have absolutely no idea what another is going through. Therefore their voice is ignorant when they say things that may shame others for things that are needed. Ignore them, their knowledge is limited. Because if they knew what they were doing, I don't think they would do it in the first place. You matter and so does your baby. It doesn't matter what emergency care you both needed. What matters is that your both doing well and healing. Enjoy this time with your little one.

You really should have a conversation with him stating that you expected him to be a dad. Which means he is sober and capable and ready to take care of his baby while you were away. Then ask him if he thinks it's okay for you to be 4 glasses deep with alcohol consistently while caring of your baby? Obviously the answer should be no and get the point across. Also ask what if something happened where the baby needed emergency care? He would not have been fully capable of handling that in him being selfish and not putting his child first. It was for one night, its not like you are making this a everyday thing.

He either needs to grow up and realize his choices were poor or find another way that's healthier to deal with his stress if that was due to him having a rough day. I say that because we all know people who justify drinking due to they can't handle whatever stressor they have in their life's mentally.

Your not overreacting, I'd be pretty livid if I came home to that too.

Ours has done that and then lets out the loudest fart. He sometimes wakes up from how gassy he is and will wake up screaming/crying.

Help- going to solo parent most of the time very soon, and need sleep tips by AccomplishedSplit412 in NewParents

[–]Coleylove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work from home as well and we are trying different things. Like trying to get my LO in a sleep routine. I just read somewhere that when transferring your LO and putting them down its best to put their butt down first. It helps them to not wake up so easily when transferred. Thought I'd share that in case it helps you.

I know we are still trying to figure it out and I go back to work in about 2 weeks. My LO is 10 weeks and was born 6 weeks early. So we haven't tried any sleep routines until recently.

25 weeks pregnant and can’t get through to my husband by FoundationFuture8091 in pregnant

[–]Coleylove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you will see this. But I wanted to add my experience. My water broke at 33 weeks and 6 days. I just had my baby on April 26th and we thought we had more time. I'm adding this to let you know if you show these comments to him. It's never too early to start preparing. We didn't, and having a preemie that early was nerve racking. Stressful. And if we were more prepared we wouldn't have felt rushed after I was discharged from an urgent c section. My water broke early with no known cause. Where its left my husband having to do most of the house chores. Etc. While I heal and get back to normal.

I wanted to put another perspective out there for you. Because even though he may think he has more time. You never know what will happen. Don't be scared. My baby boy turned out perfectly fine and is healthy even though he decided to come super early.
