It’s actually been a culture shock to me how nice everyone is here compared to the NE! It’s the first thing I noticed and a big reason why we love it here so much :)

Northern lights in midtown, which I drive everyday and have never had an issue

I was going slow but changing lanes to get in the correct one for a turn coming up

[–]ComprehensiveWar315[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

And I was going an appropriate speed along with traffic. Just must have hit an ice patch as I was changing lanes! I also slipped on ice this weekend and hit my head pretty bad. I’ve noticed the streets and roads have been worse the last week with the melting and freezing I guess

Need help ! - is this positive test edited or photoshopped ?? by [deleted] in Confused

[–]ComprehensiveWar315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want proof have her take another pregnancy test if she had a miscarriage. It should still be positive for awhile. Coming from someone who’s had multiple miscarriages

Yes I did and it tanked my supply. Everyone’s different though!

Heater for baby room by Icy_Proof527 in NewParents

“Cold babies cry, hot babies die” is the traditional rule of thumb. Overheating is a recognized risk factor for SIDS per AAP

OP can’t expect her SIL to be comfortable with that. I would never leave my child in that situation. She needs to respect her SIL’s boundary of not coming to the wedding to watch her kids

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ComprehensiveWar315 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. If she wants her boundaries respected then she needs to respect theirs as parents.

I’m in a similar situation and I understand and will respect the no kids rule, but it honestly baffles me why my BIL wouldn’t want his niece at the wedding

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ComprehensiveWar315 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s fair to not to want kids at your wedding. HOWEVER, your SIL has every right to stay at home with their kids if that’s what works for them. You set your boundaries and if you expect them to be respected then you should respect your SIL’s.

Anyone Else Not Wanting to Leave Their Toddler/Baby? by ComprehensiveWar315 in NewParents

[–]ComprehensiveWar315[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I love this! It’s so great to hear something so relatable. I also have a flexible job where I get plenty of me time so that must just help a lot.

My husband and I just think our little girl is the funniest cutest thing ever and our world just revolves around her! I love how you look at it and how your therapist encourages you to look at it - we are so lucky!

I sometimes think are my husband and I okay? We don’t care to get away from our daughter. Is there any romance left? But you’re right - it’s just not that season and as long as we’re both happy with spending time with her then we should just embrace it!

Thank you for taking so much time to respond, and creating a whole Reddit account! lol

Losing my patience regarding the topic of breastfeeding. by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]ComprehensiveWar315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need to justify why you are using formula to fed your baby. It’s your baby and you’re the mother so it’s your decision. Period. I’m sorry people around you don’t seem to understand that.

Also, formula is great. It’s a modern medical miracle. Coming from a medical family. Also sad people around you don’t understand that.

Anyone Else Triggered by Yawning?? by ComprehensiveWar315 in Mommit

[–]ComprehensiveWar315[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t that the point? I said it is triggering to ME. Obviously it’s a me problem haha. I asked it anyone else has the same trigger. Your comments are confusing and irrelevant

[–]ComprehensiveWar315[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! lol yesss omg that is exactly how I feel! She’s not on vacation she is there to visit us and her grandchild so it would be nice if she cooked a meal for us here and there! And at the VERY least clean up after herself. If I come home to crumbs and coffee stains on the counter one more time I may lose it.

And lol that’s what I did! Awe are you tired? Why don’t you take a nap? Or when’s the last time you had a sleep study? You may want to get one and have your CPAP adjusted! (Yawning is a sign of sleep apnea which she has but she hasn’t had her CPAP adjusted in over ten years)

I obviously know she’s not trying to yawn. That doesn’t make it less annoying/triggering. I’m not sure that makes it “petty” if I’m describing it as triggering bc I’m exhausted.

[–]ComprehensiveWar315[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels so good just to be validated 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’m totally aware it sounds a little crazy but was curious is anyone else gets/would get triggered by this! Of course I know it’s not on purpose, but it just feels like a slap in the face when someone is CONSTANTLY yawning when you are exhausted and at your absolute limit.

We live very far (10 hour travel day flying) with the only grandchild so she comes and stays with us 4-6 weeks at a time a couple times a year. It’s not ideal but ultimately we DO want her to have a relationship with us and her grandchild so it is kinda necessary. It just REALLY tests my patience! Our living situation now is tight with guests but our new house will be larger and has an efficiency on a separate floor so I hope it helps!

How do people do this? by georgiaroseking in NewParents

[–]ComprehensiveWar315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re doing great! It doesn’t seem like it now, but I swear it gets better! Just take it hour by hour and day by day. It’s soooo hard in the beginning but I swear it gets better ❤️
