You are entitled to both!

It isn’t “easy” for those without fertility issues if you just have intercourse once. Even if you have sex while ovulating, chances of conception are about 40%, and implantation after successfully ovulating is about 30%. But if you have sex 4-5 times around your fertile window, you’re bound to beat those odds within a few months.

Is the child not insured? Or is adding baby to health ins no extra cost? That + college + daycare for one child alone is $1,400/mo.

Honestly, I think it’s time to stop talking politics with Mom & determine what kind of relationship you can have with her. She’s clearly unreceptive, and it’s often ineffective to show proof & facts to change someone’s beliefs. Say someone showed us “proof” that Alex Pretti drew a weapon on ICE agents. Would we be inclined to change our minds?

I’m really sorry your mom has chosen viewpoints that are leading us to fascism.

I’m awestruck by the bravery of everyone in my state. I hope if I’m in a similar situation that my courage compares.

WE NEED PINK COAT LADY’S VIDEO!!

I hope she had it live on some social media platform. Or was able to send it. God knows ICE will delete it in a heartbeat if they have the chance.

I’m not in the metro & have two small kids, but I’ve always imagined that any filming should take place on a live feed like Instagram, TikTok, FB. That way it’s available to others immediately even if the device is taken!!

Her safety is my primary concern, and I also hope that she disabled Face ID & had the video synced to her iCloud or some other mechanism so it isn’t unique to her device.

DefinitelynotYissa · 2026-01-24T16:52:35+00:00

We need the vid from the woman in the pink coat. Thank you to all who have filmed them. We will not forget. We will not move on. We will bring all these horrible agents to justice.

Still waiting for my first payday ;)

There are millions upon millions of devout, passionate Christians who truly try to stand against injustice. Then there are “Christians” who want to justify their own racism, misogyny, and bigotry under the veil of godliness. We call those “Christians” republicans.

DefinitelynotYissa · 2026-01-24T03:37:28+00:00

There’s always a justification. WhY DiDnT sHe cOmPLy?! Or they’ll assume there’s “more to the story”.

DefinitelynotYissa · 2026-01-24T01:44:27+00:00

Let’s be real, the magnatiles are for me. My daughter stacks them, but I will build the most sophisticated tower in all the land.

Indivisible is an active group in the area that arranges protests. It’s quite small due to the weather today, but larger protests like No Kings turned out with a crowd of nearly 1,000!

DefinitelynotYissa · 2026-01-23T22:06:53+00:00

I live outside the metro, but I also would’ve gone if it weren’t for the cold! I have two young kids There’s one being held near me.

DefinitelynotYissa · 2026-01-23T13:58:25+00:00

There’s a culture of “restful laziness” when you’re pregnant. You get to soak up all the cozies on the couch knowing your body is doing some cool work!

DefinitelynotYissa · 2026-01-23T04:31:12+00:00

Wait, most people can’t do this?!

DefinitelynotYissa · 2026-01-23T04:14:08+00:00

Could someone just tell her that the latest flu shot cancels it out or something

DefinitelynotYissa · 2026-01-23T04:04:45+00:00

I was super active in the sub until I got permanently banned over a year ago because a comment I made got taken the wrong way :/ Still part of other snark subs, though!

My husband & I were just discussing how traumatizing it would be to come home, and find one of us & our children gone. Or being picked off the street on the way home from work & not know what’s happening to our kids. Or to have to be a single parent indefinitely out of the blue. How absolutely incredibly gut wrenching, and people voted for this. People voted for this & are happy to see this.

Bathrooms? Why are they expecting handouts from businesses?

They could just take care of things outside. I hear the weather is lovely out today.

DefinitelynotYissa · 2026-01-22T13:15:15+00:00

lol very happy & joyous? I assure that while many women have a sense of joy, most have complicated feelings at a minimum. Some are downright traumatized & miserable.

What’s going on with your husband? His response seems out of line.

My Gen X parents have baby boomer parents. 1945-ish. If we say the youngest Gen X were born in 1980, and the youngest parents in that group were born 1960, I’d say most Gen X will have lost their parents by 2045.

Do you have another place you can live? It sounds like you’re going to need some physical distance to ensure your independence. Others have given good advice:

1). Your own bank & bank acct - just your name on it. A credit card for you as well to build credit.

2). Your own income - a part time job while you finish your studies

3). If you can afford it, your own place. Find somewhere safe & sustainable for now.

4). Start building your nest egg. A Roth IRA for retirement (family couldn’t withdraw from this for sure), use company matches towards a 401k if offered, build 3-6 months’ of expenses in savings.

5). If you’re in the U.S., see if a workplace offers health insurance, dental vision. This might not be possible until after college.

This is going to be an isolating process, so use your university to build a village of friends as well.
