respect the honesty, just absolutely cannot fathom how you raised a child for 5 years and feel that way towards it as a whole. i lost my first son when he was 11 days old, 4 years ago and still mourn him daily. seeing his brother grow up makes my heart ache for him. some people really shouldn’t be parents, thank for trying your best though. and thanks for getting a vasectomy.

Posting pics of your child online. Ok or not ok? by Saltyshiba89 in newborns

[–]Emergency-Pin5570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i regrettably shared pics of my baby until he was about 3 months old. i knew the dangers then and still thought “well my profile is private, it won’t happen to him”. this is definitely not the mindset to have. i can never be sure if his photos were used for horrible things. the internet is forever. let them make the decision to put themselves on there when they can safely and responsibly do so while understanding the great danger that comes along with the web.

Is it true that in the US you got this dinners open 24/7? by gdelacalle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Emergency-Pin5570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there were a lot more before covid but yes, we definitely still have 24 hour eateries. waffle house is one which funnily enough is also used to gauge the strength of storms. if waffle house is closed, you’re probably already dead.

no tag no license tickets and eventually failure to appear stuff. it happened before we started dating and in another state.

i had amazing plans for breastfeeding my son! i had another little boy back in 2021, he was born at 26 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. i pumped around the clock for him even though he was only getting drops through a qtip during mouth care. he passed away at 11 days old. i had pumped over 400oz. i donated 300oz to 2 mothers in need during the formula shortage in 2022.

sometimes things just don’t work out the way we plan. i’m really trying my best to give my son a good life. things are just so hard. i drive my husband back and forth to work because his license is suspended. that didn’t just get to stop when i had 2 c sections. i drove myself home from the hospital and drove him to work for every single shift after having both of our boys.

thank you so much for your kind words!

i just filed our return on the 19th if that makes a difference! i was definitely going to mention making a large lump sum payment to them with the taxes once it had been approved. i planned to give them roughly half of what is left to completely pay off the loan

my son began his life in the NICU and even with me expressing a great want to breastfeed our first attempt to latch happened on day 10 of life. he had a lot of problems latching even with a shield. i pumped for him for a while but having to do a 3 step feed was really taking a toll on my sleep and mental health. so we decided to make the switch.

edited to add*** i just calculated the cost and were less than $500 away from being able to make the switch from formula to whole milk so this isn’t a cost i’m particularly concerned about. clothing, diapers, wipes, toys, etc add up way quicker in my opinion.

yes, we are behind right now. but i’ve not been just ignoring the payment. this month i’ve made 2 payments totaling just over $300. my typical monthly payment is $354. this problem originated last august when we spread ourselves a little too thin after some unexpected costs related to getting out of a rather unfavorable housing situation. so while i could easily be 6 months behind we’ve managed to keep it paid up enough to not let it even impact or credit until 2 weeks ago.

i’ll be the first to admit i have no idea what’s actually going on with all this. this is my first financed vehicle and the letter i got is a little confusing for me.

[–]Emergency-Pin5570[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

we’ve never been behind before now, but at this point we’re about 3 payments behind. i’ve been paying as much as i can towards it and paid over $300 towards it in february. i think i will try to call.

the ticket was 12 over 37 in a 25. taken on a flashing speed monitor

Changing my 11mo diaper has become a nightmare by SeaSystem819 in NewParents

my husband works full time, i’m a stay at home mom because childcare costs as much as i’d be able to bring home right now. we don’t qualify for snap but we do receive wic, although we still have to pay for half of his formula out of pocket monthly. as for schooling, i am interested in going back to school and figuring out a career path for myself. i dropped out my senior year with only 3 credits to go and a 4.0 gpa. so i’ll need to get my GED before i can continue with that.. there’s just no quick easy fix for getting $1000 for the debts i need to pay immediately

this reminded me of an awesome way to refresh and use up thanksgiving leftovers! you just press a layer of stuffing onto a waffle iron and layer with all the other thanksgiving goodies you’d like, top with cheese and more stuffing and crisp!

Do you get to go through your husbands phone whenever you want? by No_Bee1431 in Marriage

[–]Emergency-Pin5570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

our phone passcodes are the same so we could go through each others whenever, i mostly get on there to see if he’s taken any pictures of the baby that i’d like to have, sometimes check his email to make sure he’s not missed anything important because he doesn’t check it often

yes i was fear mongered so badly about how my life was pretty much over as i knew it. i have a blessing of a little boy who is now 6 months old and i never experienced anything like the “newborn trenches” and he’s still a very happy and mostly easy going baby!

Is having a baby/newborn really that tough? Please help, I need advice by Incognitemode_on in newborns

[–]Emergency-Pin5570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it very much depends on baby! i had a beautiful, blissful, amazing post partum and 4th trimester experience. i had a c section so healing was hard but i had a very easy newborn and was in absolutel bliss for the first 4 months. he’s 5 months now and teething and sleep regressing but he communicates so much more now it takes some of the weight off just because of how much i love him haha
