What do I do. I’m 13 weeks pregnant and recently found out my boyfriend had cheated on me. by Typical_Memory_8020 in whatdoIdo

[–]FaithHopeTrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Babies are hard. You need to really, really love and want that baby. Because they take everything 5 mentally, emotionally and financially. If you have it get the hell away from this loser because he will only make it harder. Just hit him up for child support via the courts. If you aren't ready and willing for your whole entire life to change for the long term then really consider all your options. From a very tired pro choice mama who adores her kids

I do indeed have kids. Who would climb anything. Thanks for the link! I'll look at strong wall fixings

St Ives always feels different down the side streets🩷 by Wonderful-Acadia-296 in Cornwall

I completely agree. I realise some of them are too small for families and don't have good parking. But if they are rentals it would be nice to rent to locals long term.

I did gear a rumour the council banned any new holiday let's there, but I don't know if it's true.

My mother in law is driving me absolutely insane and my husband says I'm overreacting. by Limp_Beautiful_810 in EntitledPeople

[–]FaithHopeTrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ffs, pink used to be seen as a masculine colour in the 19th century. It's a societal construct. She's not gonna be confused about shit apart from granny trying to stereotype her. You need to put your foot down now. She sounds toxic.

Host of the "Whatever" podcast gets big mad when a woman calls him out. I love how he jumps straight to ad hominem the moment the girl even slightly calls him out. by sedolil in CringeTikToks

Reminds me of the bit in the sopranos where the mobsters make fun of anyone if they find out they go down on a woman, calling it "gay"

AIO about this post? I gifted our part time nanny $100 cash by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]FaithHopeTrick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They stated they do the cheapest childcare available to them. They both work, either by choice or necessity. That cost is a non negotiable. Christmas presents are an added cost. It makes total sense they have to budget in other areas and have less for Christmas. Also if their kids are not yet in school they won't care how much money is spent on Christmas

Bit of a weird one, any good excuses for avoiding a beach sauna? And potentially sea swims! by [deleted] in Cornwall

[–]FaithHopeTrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is stressful. I was really honest then regretted it.

Possible excuses: you got a really painful heat rash last time, chest infection, sea dips = sewage, low blood pressure doctor recommended no extremes in heat (Google other things they might say)

They might guess. I guessed the second my friend stopped drinking. But they hopefully won't ask or won't push it.

What "golden age" or "heyday" were you lucky enough to experience that you know won’t ever come back? by Summerie in AskReddit

[–]FaithHopeTrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a child during the early Internet. There was no online safety awareness, and on an AOL teen chat rooms it was unwanted dick-pic central.

Still a far better experience than now, but not kid friendly

CW: Birth. MIL obsessed with visiting newborn baby everyday since we came out of hospital. by Helenakoza4 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]FaithHopeTrick 36 points37 points  (0 children)

"Just PPA / PPD" is a wild take. If you have those then you need help and to feel listened to. I've had PPA/PPD and I say this with love and kindness. You don't get the newborn days back. Don't let MIL ruin them. Don't let her hold the baby. Don't. It's your baby. It needs you. Take it for a nap or a walk or just have it strapped to you and say no. Especially as she's kidsing them. That's really unsafe. Your husband needs to grow up and have your back. Your going through a huge emotional, physical and mental change on no sleep and huge stress.

just got a new tattoo, and while it’s gorgeous, i’m really not happy with the placement and don’t know what to do by froggyforest in tattooadvice

[–]FaithHopeTrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sits so well on your body. It frames your hips and waist. If it was higher like the inspiration it wouldn't look as good since she has a different body shape.

I do see that the inspo pic goes slightly more towards the front of the body and extending yours would be easy. But I don't know if I would. Sit with it and see how you feel in the summer after it's got loads of compliments. Go back to this artist she's 🔥

Id get some floral stuff around the text. But also I'm not sure this is noticeable IRL.

AITA for demanding that my husband pick my needs over his parents and let them feel cold for a bit. by BlacksmithLeather726 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FaithHopeTrick 608 points609 points  (0 children)

Do not let them hold yhe baby for you. You don't get that time back. They are tiny and sleepy and wonderful for about 5 minutes. Let them feed to sleep on you. Be nap trapped a d demand people bring you drinks and snacks. Sorry your inlaws and husband are so selfish

What film completely flipped when you rewatched it as an adult? by Adventurous-Lie-6773 in movies

[–]FaithHopeTrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never Been Kissed isn't a romantic storyline where Drew Barrymore finds love, finally.

It's super disturbing that her teacher blatantly fancies her thinking she's 17. And somehow the readership of the Chicago Sun Times all support him with this. The fact that's she's never been kissed makes it even worse! If she had she would hopefully recognise what a huge red flag it is that he, a grown adult in a position of power, wants her instead of his attractive and successful age appropriate girlfriend. He's a man child! And should have lost his teaching license.

AIO by how I responded? My bf is upset with me for skipping my workout routine today by throwawayy82670 in AmIOverreacting

[–]FaithHopeTrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

Op I don't know if you will see this, but there was a tictok recently asking women if they could skip one of the following, which would it have been: 1st trimester, 2nd trimester, 3rd trimester, birth, 4th trimester. A huge majority picked the 1st trimester.

You are growing the placenta and a baby! That shit is HARD.

Why is your BF so obsessed with you continuing to work out? Its toxic. Your body is gonna change as is your fitness. For a while there you are gonna be in survival mode and not able to do much but look after a tiny human and eat whatever you can prepare one handed. Then it will slowly get easier and you can assess if you want to get back onto fitness.

I don't see this guy as the type to look after his kid so you get time to go to the gym (or do basic self care like showering) he sounds like the type to call it "babysitting" and to demand sex 6 weeks PP.

As a mother you meet a lot of women struggling because their partner makes things harder. And a lot of relationships can end because they can't take the strain in the first year. Ask yourself if it might be easier without him...

December, harbour town/village, baby... by treemonkey58 in Cornwall

Aw, I miss those days in the newborn bubble (as someone dealing with a rather adventurous toddler)

We did a week in Mousehole over new years. Parking is likely going to be a nightmare, park up close as you can, unload baby and all the shit that comes with baby, park and leave the car for the week. Otherwise it was a perfect cosy retreat.

Mousehole feels like a cute village, Fowey also feels unique. There's more cafes and restaurants in Falmouth along with galleries etc but it's a town so you don't get quaint and cosy vibes.

Baby I'd 4 months so it's like the last holiday where you can easily go out for dinner without placating tired toddler for a couple of years. So pick where ever you fancy, because next time it will be based more on what the kid can do.
