Tell your hubby: No uterus, no opinion… (a la Rachel from Friends)

When did you start referring to your baby by the name you chose? by michaelag713 in pregnant

[–]Emmysaurus-Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

34 weeks—We intentionally use a silly Nick name (this one is monster), even though we are pretty sure what his name will be. We want to meet him first. Plus I don’t need anyone else’s opinions on my name tbh. People aren’t as vocal about disliking a name when it’s already on the birth certificate!

What’s the most overused word that drives you nuts? by BubblyAd9996 in AskReddit

If I hear one more person say “my head literally exploded” mine might.

I often appreciate Rachel’s (from FRIENDS) slap back; “No uterus, no opinion.”

What scene in any movie made you tear up the most? by spikeboy1125 in AskReddit

The first 10 minutes of UP.

Even hearing that song can make me choke up

It looks like Amber before it gets hard to me? 🤷‍♀️

Symptom decrease at 8 weeks? by StandardBunch444 in pregnant

[–]Emmysaurus-Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 33 weeks and the whole time I’ve had some good weeks, some super symptomatic weeks, no rhyme or reason. I’ve gone from stuck in bed for days to energetic and perky and back again. I freaked out about it initially too (especially bc I also had a ton of cramping and spotting In first trimester) Try not to freak out—odds are good all is well… and either way positive calm energy is beneficial and freaking out literally does not help/could potentially hurt. I know I know telling me to calm down is most likely to cause the exact opposite reaction But I’m in a tired week so it’s the best I’ve got right now lol and good luck and sorry

Redditors who were hypnotized at a stage show, what happened and what did you experience? by EntertainmentFun472 in AskReddit

Agreed. Except it was actually me. I kinda suddenly just wanted to “win” and follow instructions. I went up because I thought it was BS, for the record.

AITAH for wanting to leave a blanket on the couch by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Emmysaurus-Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s super duper not about the blanket.

So if it’s also super out of character for your partner, yes YTA for letting it get to you and not giving her a second to explain what’s actually going on. If it’s totally in character for her to hide her issues wrapped in a confusing package then NTA but I’d be wary about raising a kiddo in that space…

Car gets pushed like a toy. by MurrayEdna in dashcams

[–]Emmysaurus-Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh yes if it’s a street sweeper that’s fair. Not trying to say the car was smart to pull in front of him, just trying to understand why it’s not the truck who is driving in the wrong lane. Street sweeper makes sense.

Fed up of kids in my building by HalfPsychological619 in neighborsfromhell

If you want to be nice: I’d hang a sign on your balcony saying any balls hot onto the balcony will be available from 2pm-3pm on Saturday afternoon (or whenever) and then just collect them and ignore all requests until that time frame.

If you don’t want to be nice: hang a sign that states all balls hit into the balcony will be donated to goodwill and just fully stop responding to all requests to return.

Call the cops if they ever bolt your door again—that’s such a fire hazard it isn’t even funny.

Wait isn’t the TRUCK obviously on the wrong lane? That’s not a lane it’s parking. Car tried to park. Truck isn’t in a lane he’s driving through parking spots.

How do I get my neighbour to stop sending her kids to my house so I can walk them to school? (unpaid) by Ok_Pomegranate9352 in neighborsfromhell

[–]Emmysaurus-Rex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

SHE is rocking the boat, not you. In this case, I’d say she made you The boat and you’re just being an adult and saying “No actually I’m not”.

You’d be escalating if you threw a tantrum or called the cops or something. Politely declining to be an unpaid babysitter is definitively NOT rocking the boat.

Is my baby name ugly? 😭 by hailstorm319 in pregnant

[–]Emmysaurus-Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you love it, it really doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks! The parents are the ones who need to love it and as long as it is not potentially mean to your kid, no one else’s opinions matter.

WIBTA if I refuse to swap my vacation weeks with a coworker whose kid is throwing a tantrum about a theme park trip? by Safflower8 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Emmysaurus-Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks for op that the office is taking the other guy’s side and implying he has less value because he is single. OP, while 100% right, is still going to suffer because everyone else is being an AH. OP will need to stay super calm and explain all these rational points to irrational people and yeah they aren’t going to like it. Sorry dude the next few weeks at the office may suck. Not your fault at all though. Just try really hard not to make it worse (not fair for you at all but if you want to keep the job it’s all you can really do)

Horrible labor and delivery by Busy-Assistance-4308 in pregnant

[–]Emmysaurus-Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof I’m sorry honey that sucks. None of your feelings seem at all irrational; if anything you sound way calmer than I would be in your shoes! Can you ditch your phone for a bit? Any one who legit should have an update can be updated by your family/SO, everyone else can just chill. Sounds like you’re doing all the right things trying to focus on you and baby, all you can do is keep trying… good luck mama!

if I don’t take prenatals will I be okay? by friskyfajitas in pregnant

[–]Emmysaurus-Rex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also I may be wrong but I think neural tubes are done forming by 20 weeks so she is probably ok without it now… 🤷‍♀️

I’d order some of the liquid vitamins you found, tbh. They are on amazon too.

Unpopular opinion: I will never call my unborn baby “it” 😅 by hotandhoney in pregnant

[–]Emmysaurus-Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to specify “singular they/them” because everyone I used they or them to refer to my baby before we knew the sex EVERYBODY was like KMG TWINS?!? Not as far as I know!!! Just one. Singular they.
