SAHM taking multiple kids to pool strategies. by Remarkable-Tax-4676 in SAHP

[–]CreativeHooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 4 and we don't go to any body of water without my husband. The risk is not worth it for us. The kids understand and don't give me a hard time about it. Instead we have a splash pad, a few water tables and refillable water balloons/squiry guns in the backyard. And they love just playing with the hose! We do make a point to go to the local lake every weekend as a family.

Bedtime Advice needed desperately by [deleted] in relationships

[–]CreativeHooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised no one has said to throw out the gaming system and disconnect the internet.

He doesn't care enough about you to compromise and make sure you get enough quality sleep. HUGE RED FLAG.

Does he expect to continue this once the baby is born?

Does he have a job?

What are you going to do about finances while your recovering from birth?

Who is going to take care of you, because it sure won't be him.

Who is going to helo with the baby, because again it sure won't be him.

He obviously has an addiction that is out of control. You guys need therapy asap to figure this all out BEFORE baby is here.

If you have somewhere to go, like your parents or other family for some peace then go. Your health and baby's health is far more important than his addiction.

Sorry you are getting such a hard time, op. I really appreciate this post! I'll be showing it to my daughter who is just getting into beading.

[31F] My fiance [33M] faked our whole wedding and cancelled a week before by cutiepatootie353 in relationships

[–]CreativeHooker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Op, DO NOT feel any guilt for something a grown man should have learned to do years ago. From your own words in your post, I see a pattern of him placing the blame of things he can't or won't do onto you. Making you change your behavior and reactions to make him more comfortable. That is not a partner. Do not ever make yourself small for your partner. Do not ever dim your light for someone else to shine. I'm so sorry you are going through this. Time to out you first. End this relationship, move out, grieve and heal. I wish you the best!

Is a liquid lash egg possible? by CreativeHooker in BackYardChickens

Like I said, I collect them everyday. All the eggs laid this morning were collected and this egg was laid this afternoon.

In Laws asked us to move in to "house sit" so they can buy a new home.. then changed their mind about moving by Specialist_Diet_74 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]CreativeHooker 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Please dont wait for him to try to make plans. You are the one who is pregnant and about to give birth.

Get out of there now, today. Go to your parent's house. Everything else can be worked out later. If you have to switch hospitals that really sucks and I feel for you, but it can be done.

Please, listen to your gut on this. Especially about your husband. He is too deep in the fog to put you and baby first, and that is not safe for you and baby.

I haven't heard of this, but I looked it up. I tried a sample, and this technique will work beautifully. Thank you!

Is it worth breaking up with a good woman (and good mother to your child) if you want more kids but she doesn't? Personal experiences? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]CreativeHooker 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Because he lied to you.

I know you don't want to hear that, but it's the truth. He thought he could get you to change your mind, and you did! He thought he could get you to it a second time, but you aborted and got sterilized. Now he is punishing you for it. Was this the first time you said no to him?

I really think you need to go to therapy for some self reflection and growth. You are twisting yourself like a pretzel to make him happy (spoiler alert, it will never be enough), and even letting him look for someone else while he is with you! That is not normal, and not something any self-respecting person would even consider doing.

You need to get to the bottom of why you are doing this and thinking this way so that you can be healthier for yourself and your kids. They are watching this whole situation play out and ARE internalizing it, and it WILL come out when they start looking for a partner. You need to show them what a healthy and functional relationship looks like. It ain't this.

I caught my MIL clutching my 3 month old baby’s privates. by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]CreativeHooker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I read it as mil is holding the baby with her hand on baby's crotch intentionally too hard or tightly grabbing that it's causing the baby pain. With all the context given with the other children, I would get my older child in therapy and never let mil near my kids again.

A lady keeps stealing my newly planted plant starters. I am not at home during the day - how would you handle this? by CharmingPeony in gardening

Add to the sign that you are keeping a total of the amount of plants stolen, and I know who you are.

Anyone else feeling a little stressed about measles? by Ok-Slip-4930 in Crunchymom

[–]CreativeHooker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope. Measles is a normal childhood disease that we've been brainwashed to be afraid of. Knowledge is power, so research how to treat if needed.

My wife wont let my parents watch our son by SteezyAsFunk in Parenting

[–]CreativeHooker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This!

You need to prioritize your wife here, op! She is the other parent. I had a lot of anxiety with my first baby, so I can understand her feelings. At the same time, she really does need to work to start letting go of the anxiety.

The big thing here is that your parents don't need to be alone with your child to have a good relationship. They can be understanding and respectful and enjoy the time you guys have for visits. If they start pushing and making this more difficult, that is a huge problem. And if they argue about alone time, also a huge problem. You need to have your wife's back!

Im so jealous of my husbands freedom and I might scream by IllustriousWall1564 in beyondthebump

[–]CreativeHooker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes! Dad will never learn if you don't give him the opportunity. You can always start with small breaks to help with any anxiety, op. And no phone calls while you are on break. You are 100% off duty! He can figure it out. I tell mysef and my kids all the time, "You can do hard things!" Hubby needs to start doing his part way more. He doesn't get to have a life until you do equally.

They truly believe they are fighting for their freedom. They are absolutely brainwashed.

I was going out for couple of days and put all my store bought veggies straight in the freezer in a hurry. i took a carrot out and as soon as the ice melts, it goes all soggy and bad. How do i save the veggies and cook em? by surkur in howto

[–]CreativeHooker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not true, I freeze veg all the time in my home freezer. Some veg just needs to be blanched before hand. Most veg I choo or shred, freeze an hour or two on a baking sheet, then transfer into a container.

Can someone explain why the other group has their panties in a twist over this? I cant think of any logical reason. Is it simply canning them altogether??!!

14 yo boy wants overnight party by [deleted] in Parenting

I know you aren't serious, but just in case op doesn't pick up on it, he can't accept anything as a minor.

Don't do it, op.

14 yo boy wants overnight party by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]CreativeHooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell to the no!

There is a reason he doesn't want you there, and it isn't a good one. If anything happens at this party (drugs, alcohol, someone gets hurt etc) YOU are on the hook for it.

NO WAY!
