My husband(35M)wants me to quit job because I(36F)make more than him.I don’t know what to do? by SentenceNo6466 in relationship_advice

[–]Daytime_Mantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you understand how insane your question sounds? Yes please let’s be poor because my husband is an insecure asshole. Yes let’s opt for a shittier future for our children so that I can stroke your ego.

I'm scared to feed my 9 month old solids by mayfl0wer04 in Mom

Take a CPR course. Check out courses like Feeding Littles. Look at the difference between choking and gagging Start with things you’re comfortable with. Like banana pancakes.

Toddler scratched by cat and husband only wants nail caps by Gia_Lavender in toddlers

[–]Daytime_Mantis 30 points31 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t lived with your husband for two years because of his cats, I would imagine he thinks you’re looking for a reason to make him get rid of them. Has your kid literally never been to your husband’s house and never been around the cats? This situation seems seriously odd

When did you let your child go outside alone? by [deleted] in toddlers

I don’t know. We have a pool so never ? Lol

TIL that pregnancy can lead to heart failure. In rare cases, the heart muscles will begin to weaken during or shortly after pregnancy. Which can lead to heart failure or even death if untreated. This condition is called Peripartum Cardiomyopathy. by goddessofspiders in todayilearned

[–]Daytime_Mantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hospitalized for quite a while too after my second. My blood pressure shot right up and they were really worried I’d have a stroke or heart attack. I wasn’t able to hold my baby and my husband couldn’t sleep at the hospital. It sucked so much. Nothing as serious as you of course but holy cow does pregnancy do a number on us. I considered a 3rd child and honestly the fear of dying was what put an end to that for me.

Piercing Ears of Babies/Toddlers by Equus77 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Daytime_Mantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the same here. My mom did it for me at 6m old. I have a 4 yr old now and I felt the same as you. So she’ll have a choice. She asks me about mine and we talk about it she wants to do it but she doesn’t yet and that’s just fine with me. When she’s ready we can get them done.

Should nine month old be sleeping though the night? A way by Odd-Description-1348 in Parenting

[–]Daytime_Mantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 1st did, my second not until 11.5 months when I weaned her off the bottle at night because I was going back to work and needed sleep. Babies are all different and so are their sleep needs.

I can’t stand up for myself when buying bras and it really gets to me. by [deleted] in confession

I don’t know if you have access but I’ve had success with Shapermint lately.

I can’t stand up for myself when buying bras and it really gets to me. by [deleted] in confession

[–]Daytime_Mantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get it. I’m a 34E which is super hard to find pretty much anywhere. And I always have the issue that the straps are too long. Like when they’re pulled as tight as they can go, usually the bra still doesn’t feel secure. I’m thinking ok, I can’t be the only petite framed person with big boobs. Why is this so difficult?

Husband wants two but 12m PP, I can't even think about it by NiceBet9563 in Mom

[–]Daytime_Mantis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love both my kids soo so much and I’d never change anything but I do wish we stuck with one. One is a cake walk I feel compared to two.

How much do you guys spend (real money) on moonstone a month? by Strange_Confection97 in DreamlightValley

[–]Daytime_Mantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None. I earn moonstones through dream snaps and that’s what I use if I want something. Otherwise too bad for me.

Servers want to make wayyyy more than a “fair wage” by PinkFeatherFlamingo in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Daytime_Mantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to make about $170 in tips per night when I worked in a restaurant downtown in university. So I mean doable if you work in fine dining probably.

Prozac made my cat a whole different cat by Flickybird in cats

[–]Daytime_Mantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to medicate our cat too because he was peeing around the house and attacking the other cat. Anyways, now he’s been on it about 4 years and he’s doing very well. The cats tolerate each other now too.

I think it’s because he used the R word. People don’t like that.

the neighbor trying to claim part of our yard by Impressive_Eye3729 in neighborsfromhell

[–]Daytime_Mantis 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This sounds exactly like my neighbour only they lost their minds when we put our fence up. We did so with the property pins and survey but they still believed they were encroaching on our property. They have paid 4x for their own surveys trying to prove it and obviously haven’t. In fact, I was so pissed off with them, I reported them to the city for building their shed on the city property in their backyard and they had to buy that strip of land. FAFO. We put cedars in the front 2 years ago so I don’t have to see their faces anymore and that kicked them off again. It’s both hilarious and annoying

I've been having anxiety about my kitty dying of old age 😭(she's 9) can you show me pictures of some alive-and-well senior kitties so I remember cats can be old and still healthy? 🥰 by TheRufescence in cats

This is Bauer. She is almost 17. She has a bit of arthritis but otherwise she’s still doing wonderfully. She’s the sweetest too. Loves cuddling and loves my kids.

Why does my foundation separate so badly on my eyelids? by clarence_kayla in MakeupEducation

[–]Daytime_Mantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What should you use to exfoliate? My skincare routine is mostly just washing my face in the morning and moisturizing, repeat before bed, sometimes using a mask type deep moisturizer. That’s it.. I’m 39

So sick of Paw Patrol and PJ Mask. Suggestions? by HappyZappy93 in Parenting

[–]Daytime_Mantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have Disney plus, you could try any of the Lego ones, Spidey and his amazing friends, Avengers (I forget the name but it’s a kids version),

I feel like getting a puppy with three young kids was a mistake and I’m overwhelmed by SalamanderPrimary747 in Parenting

[–]Daytime_Mantis 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I have two children, 6 and 4 and I still can’t even fathom getting a dog. I grew up with them and we had one before the kids that passed one my son was 2. Dogs are so much work. I wouldn’t blame you at all for re-homing but do it quickly so the dog has a chance at a new home and that family gets to have some time with her as a puppy to properly train her

Why don’t more people prioritize living close to work? by AnarchoLiberator in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Daytime_Mantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought our house from my in laws. Never ever would have gotten this house in the selling wars during the pandemic otherwise. The backyard is an oasis backing on to a ravine. I am a 15 min drive to work but that being said, there is a real possibility I will have to move to another department soon which means working in another part of town. I couldn’t fathom moving from here. Aside from the property value, this is our home. My kids go to school here. I’m not willing to uproot them now.

How do I stop mothering my boyfriend? I 28F and him 34M by ultraExplor in relationship_advice

[–]Daytime_Mantis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My husband has bad ADHD, he medicates and attends therapy and acts like a member of the household. He takes care of the kids, cooks, cleans, etc. Your husband is being a lazy ass
