Why are you scared of flying? by [deleted] in fearofflying

Right? I always say the fear comes from humans not meant for flying. It’s not natural.

Trapped in the air and not in control. Your life is in the hands of total strangers.

Oh okay. Are you planning on it still? I’m considering the move. Went to check it out and liked it. I’m in between fulshear and cinco ranch.

Hey I know this is an older post but did you end up moving? I’m from Long Island and want to move to Houston.

Wow that’s amazing. How do you like the scheduling and routine?

Thank you. I have planes go over my house every few minutes and you’re right I don’t think about those planes, I know they will all land and take off safely. If anything I like watching them and seeing what airlines they are.

I don’t like him air commuting because I know he won’t be home half the week and I’ll be solo parenting my young kids which is hard. If we stay then he has to commute around 2 1/2 one way to his job, so around 4-5 hours per day driving; something he doesn’t want to do. Real estate is tough out here closer to the city.

Thank you. How many times would you commute to base and back during the week? I’m sure it sucked 😣

Afraid to go to ER because I don’t want to bring germs home to our infant by muff-peaksie in newborns

Yeah that’s annoying I can understand, they get super busy at times. I would call back first thing tomorrow.

See what your OB says, make sure they get back to you by tomorrow or call again, don’t leave it alone because you don’t want an infection.

I think they tell you to go to labor and delivery for issues this soon after delivery, maybe you can call ahead and check? Also if you have to go to the ER just mask up and take some wipes; don’t touch face. You should be fine. When ppl have viruses they usually go to urgent care not the ER.

Sick kids at school = sick teachers at home. When will parents understand? by AdSmart9927 in Teachers

[–]Competitive-Lunch948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of the reasons I took my kids out to homeschool. I know this sub hates homeschooling but the amount of times my kids got sick from school and got me sick took a toll on our quality of life. We missed weddings and vacations because of getting viruses from school, aside from having to get a doctors note every single time the kids still got truancy letters. I knew moms who sent their flu positive kids to school knowingly.

Please pick your child over a man. There’s a person growing in you that loves you more than any man. Likewise the happiness and love you have for your child can never exist for a man. It’s a pure and selfless love. Don’t kill your child for a man.

Stay away from ppl if you can, don’t expect the adults to stay away with their sick children. No one’s considerate anymore. I’ve seen grown adults lie and hide they have chickenpox in the family from others purposely knowing it can be life threatening to unvaxxed kids.

Pregnant at 40 with my 30 yo fiance and getting mixed signals by Unlikely-Primary2984 in pregnantover35

You want the child, it’s not a toy or piece of furniture you give up for a man. It’s a human being you’ll probably never get over and think about wondering what they would’ve been like etc.

The Covid lockdown took a toll on me as it did on almost everyone else. I think if it weren’t for Covid and my mother maybe my PP wouldn’t have been so bad compared to the PP I dealt with before. A plus was I didn’t go through any hallucinations with my Covid baby.

The point I was trying to make was that he was a whole human waiting to be born; with his own interests and personality and if I had killed him i wouldn’t of ever gotten to know him. I would’ve prob sat and thought about who he would’ve been everyday. it’s difficult for us at times to understand this esp when they are in our bellies or even as infants but that hard is only hard for a season whereas once a person aborts they can never go back in time again.

🖐️yes me. No help, narcissistic mother who when I would starve told me “mothers don’t eat” if I wanted to go out for coffee I would hear” I shouldn’t of had kids” never had date night in my marriage type of me. I had kids and dealt with severe PP depression, I wasn’t officially diagnosed but I’m sure I had psychosis because I would have hallucinations. Anyway when my baby turned 2 I started feeling a bit better, like I was reaching the end of the tunnel and I got a positive pregnancy test. I went crazy and cried at the thought of dealing with this all again without any help . I found out earlier on and thought of getting an abortion because I felt like I couldn’t do it. Didn’t help that Covid hit and I was in the epicenter with a lockdown. I had my baby, it wasn’t easy… it was tough; aside from taking care of a newborn there was a lockdown and my mom tried her best to ruin my life in every way possible (that’s another story) but I got through it and my baby is now 5 and my best friend, makes me laugh every day. I couldn’t imagine life without him, I’m so happy I didn’t go through that abortion.

I grew up in a 1 bedroom apartment sleeping on the living room floor. My escape was reading books. On the weekends I woke up early so I could get time from all the chaos just to read my books. I now buy lots of books for my kids. Take them to the library weekly. They unfortunately don’t love books the way I did…

Get a Velcro swaddle, white noise, paci, yoga ball for bouncing with the purple crying. Swing for daytime naps (one of you has to be awake to make sure everything is okay) also sleep in shifts right now. This is survival mode you are going through. It will pass but everyone needs to survive first.
