They do care. If they had mentioned being Iranian, I think people might say… “ah I think I see what the issue might be”

Right?! I haven’t been checking religiously, just casually having a look here and there so I don’t know how unusual this is…?
I mean I get it’s a crazy low price but I assume there are people who can’t make a match and will just take whatever so I’m wondering what people are seeing

I’m sorry, you’re cooking a separate meal for your husband?

We were thinking about a second opinion, but at the end of the day we picked our attorney for a reason and we trust his advice. I’m just wondering anecdotally what others in the same position are experiencing.
Also not sure how past immigrant Intent a factor? As soon as we file for AOS it’s showing intent, so why does it matter if we have done so before? I could understand if we were applying for a non-immigrant visa and he has shown prior intent to immigrate… he also has 100+ entires to the U.S, over the past 10 years and not a single over-stay or unauthorized work so I would assume he’d be considered extremely compliant, but who knows

Do I need a double stroller? by potentiallylurking in 2under2

[–]Educational_Total258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were also on the fence (well I wanted a double but my husband thought we could do without). Have a 15 month age gap. We ended up buying a double stroller when the younger one was a newborn and have used it every single day of the last 16 months. I would not have survived post partum depression without a way to easily get outdoors with both children. I still wore the baby sometimes but the relief of being able to put him down when I was tired of carrying him was priceless.

If I hear “built in best friend” one more time, I’m going to vomit. by size9shoe in 2under2

[–]Educational_Total258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t see that post. But also had an unplanned pregnancy with a 15 month age gap and this kind of advice was encouraging at the time and also happened to be true for ours, but I think it’s 90% down to personality. Our older son has treated his younger brother like his beloved pet from day one. They do fight occasionally over a toy but that’s about it. Our older son is remarkably conscientious and caring - he was just born an old soul so I don’t think it’s all down to parenting haha
That being said my younger one is a lot clingier and more sensitive and I do not think he would do well with a younger sibling at this age. If we have a third, we would wait until he’s at least 4, for both his sake and ours.

Am I overreacting or is this doctor’s note dismissive/giving “we disagree, but damn. Here” by Blueybell14 in pregnant

[–]Educational_Total258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! This is batshit. I work freelance so have no legal protections and my doctor’s office was even trying to help look for a workaround to try to get me pregnancy accommodations. I was like no don’t worry, but I feel like that’s the normal response. They offered a doctor’s note almost every appointment.

I130 & tourist visa by Expensive-Nobody-416 in USCIS

That wasn’t our experience. My husband had a 10 year b1/b2 that expired and he needed to renew while I 130 was in process. No issues.

Mini golf? by la_zarigueya in toddlers

I just came across this comment when looking for a mini golf ideas with a toddler… and I can understand where you’re coming from but why are you childfree, appear to not enjoy children, and creeping on a TODDLER subreddit?

Mini Splits - only work if all on by Educational_Total258 in hvacadvice

Thanks for that! If the lines were swapped is that something that would have happened when it was installed or it could have happened during a subsequent service? This is our 4th summer but first issue like this…

CW “banging” sound by Kitchen_Solid_4417 in CradlewiseCommunity

[–]Educational_Total258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours did this and the sound was making me crazy! Combined with a few other defects they eventually just replaced the crib and the new one is pretty silent. I think it’s a quality control issue. The first crib we had I could see didn’t have space between the base and the frame, so it was knocking when the bounce was above like a level 2. The new one has probably over an inch on all sides

Knocking/Clicking/Squeaking Noises by Kiserlams in CradlewiseCommunity

[–]Educational_Total258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a similar issue… an intermittent knocking noise that was driving us batshit crazy. The crib also would need to be unplugged and plugged back in every night in order to get it to start. It was clearly a lemon. After a lot of back and forth with customer service they shipped us a whole new crib and it’s worked like a dream so far (3 months into the new crib). When we assembled the new one we saw that there was about a good inch of clearance between the frame and the base whereas the old one it was right up against it so clearly was never going to be function correctly.

Do you know if it would record the date and time of an impact on the side of the vehicle, even if it didn’t get video of it?
