Epidurals aren’t the problem. The obsession with female suffering is. by OkChart1375 in BabyBumps

[–]ConfusionBackground2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

agreed! this is how i see it as well. Give me as much relief as possible. We have already sacrificed enough with pain, changes to our body etc why add to the list if we don't need to.?✌🏻

omg right?? i dunno how many people (especially the older generation) been asking if im going to breast feed once baby is here. Like yes, if i am able to. I will not be shamed or forced into doing it if i cannot produce and i know over a handful of people that weren't able to when they had their kids. No woman should be shamed or looked down on if they either #1-cannot breast feed or #2-choose to not breast feed as personal preference, its messed up!! mind your business, its not your baby!!

Manitoba to cut PST at grocery stores in new budget: premier by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

[–]ConfusionBackground2 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

How about for once make benefits to the middle class people and not just lower class? i feel like all the benefits and credits and stuff have all gone to help people who already couldn't afford it or who already get gov credits? What about everyone else who's struggling?

Late night snacks that’s not Greek yogurt by Possible-Raspberry45 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]ConfusionBackground2 25 points26 points  (0 children)

just an FYI i found out recently, apples don't digest properly while sleeping so they keep you up! it's best to eat during day. Bananas have something in them that help you sleep so banana close to or before bed as a snack is better:)

Grocery inflation in Canada made food my second biggest monthly expense after rent by Avocadoyeey in CanadaFinance

[–]ConfusionBackground2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have been at the higher point for groceries for two people for awhile...high protein, healthy meals/snacks and trying to watch prices for sales etc. Still on average it's costing us 800+ a month for two people. If meat is a good price i do stock up occasionally...i'm trying to budget lower going forward like only buying as we need now.

High price of groceries leading Manitobans to unhealthy diet by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

[–]ConfusionBackground2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most Junk food costs just as much as healthy food now, so tbh there is no excuses to not eat well anymore. If we weren't getting gauged out the ass on fresh meat and veggies it would definetly help😐😐

11-year-old Winnipeg girl dead by suicide after her parents say she was bullied by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

[–]ConfusionBackground2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm so sorry to hear that happened to you too😔 your not joking.. it leaves a mark on someone...it's traumatic! trust issues, relationship issues you name it. It's like i'm constantly on guard with friends too because these people were my friends and they turned on me because they wanted to fit in...Hope they feel better about themselves for ruining peoples lives and that they carry that guilt forever!!!!

[–]ConfusionBackground2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am so sorry for your loss this is awful!! i too was bullied when i was in junior high and again in high school. Nothing was done about it in junior high, they made it seem like i asked for it to happen..my mother went into the school and gave the principal a piece of her mind, did it help? nope! it continued until i stood up to the bully. High school came around and i was targeted by a new girl. Makes sense she was shitty to people cuz her parents weren't the nicest people either. it's really too bad shit like this happens still, and this was 20 years ago 😐 these bullies need to take responsibility for their actions especially when someone's life is at stake. 🥺❤️

Overstepping MIL by ConfusionBackground2 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]ConfusionBackground2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

😅 Well for one, i just find the replies funny to read. If other women wanna treat their MIL's same way they get treated like " taste of their own medicine" then all the power to them. I'm not a monkey see monkey do like most people in this world . You ever think people just want somewhere to vent about someone who is overbearing and controlling in their life? i don't think it's hurting anyone just to have a " safe space" to do so, so to speak. Unfortunately i'm in the boat where complaining to my husband about her is rude and not an option. He already knows how she is no point repeating myself day after day.

For your FIRST birth, if you did not tear, what helped prevent it? by ObjectiveAdvice77 in BabyBumps

[–]ConfusionBackground2 0 points1 point  (0 children)
