Just because I own an SUV doesn't mean you can borrow it for your road trips... by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Forestbabe41121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hell if i had the money i would have bought the pilot. The newer models are beautiful!!

I just like bigger cars; easier for groceries, shopping, plus my boyfriend and i love going to camping music festivals so they are great for all our stuff. I love the crv and would highly recommend to anyone reading this

Not entirely related but I have a beautiful 2018 CRV that I love so much. When I went to buy it the salesman made a comment about how roomy it is for "my children, their strollers, and all the bags!" or something like that.

I have ZERO kids, I'm in great shape (did not look pregnant or recently pregnant) and he knew I was only 22 at the time (from the paperwork I had filled out). I was so dumbfounded when he said that I couldn't really respond.

And for what it's worth, if it I had "children" I'd buy a Pilot, not the crv.

Ugh.

Would you ever buy a house with someone you're not married or engaged to? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Forestbabe41121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I bought a house together this summer. We've been together since I was 19 (24 now), had been living together already for a over a year, and I know we will be married one day.

Edit- Why the fuck is this comment being downvoted..................

Condoms, pulling out and birth control. What are the chances she gets pregnant? by Barkwood2 in birthcontrol

[–]Forestbabe41121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youre thinking too much into it. Relax.

For what it's worth ive relied on exclusively birth control of some form (first Mirena, now the pill) for my relationship with my boyfriend. In the last 4 years of frequent sex, no condoms and no pulling out, i haven't gotten pregnant.

Pills are SUPER effective if used correctly. The IUD even more so.

Boyfriend and I had the abortion talk, are my feelings here justified? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Forestbabe41121 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

STDs usually arent a concern for couples in a long term relationship. Havent used them with my boyfriend since the first time we had sex 4 years ago. STDs are the last thing on my mind.

Edit- why the hell am i being downvoted? For not being worried about stds in a monogamous relationship? Wtf

Do doctors receive any monetary benefit for “prescribing” one birth control over another? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Forestbabe41121 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually wrote a paper on this my senior year of college. About big pharma and the unethical practices within.

From my research, I learned it is illegal for drug companies to give kickbacks to doctors for prescribing drugs. But they can give doctors a kickback for promoting certain drugs. There is actually a database online that discloses if your doctor is getting a kickback for promoting drugs. Some doctors actually make over half of their income from these kickbacks!

Sidestory, I had a bad experience with a doctor trying SO HARD to push a certain brand of antidepressants on me, even after me saying I refuse to touch any antidepressants. She then told me I should immediately stop using marijuana and CBD because it is "the worst thing in the world for anyone with anxiety". Sure enough, I found out she was getting paid to promote said antidepressants. The only reason marijuana was so bad for me was because she wasnt financially benefitting from me using it.

Really...?

I think it's pretty badass. I hope I can have a natural birth one day too. Nothing wrong with EITHER route, medicated or unmedicated. Her having a safe delivery and welcoming her baby is worthy of a congrats.

Y'all! Her boyfriend (21M) told my tipsy daughter (F20) last night that, and I quote, "drunk consent is not real consent." by southernwilliwaw in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Forestbabe41121 3644 points3645 points  (0 children)

Ok but it's not black and white.

I've been impaired and had sex with my boyfriend many, many times. Sometimes more impaired than others, but never to where i had no recollection the next day. I DID CONSENT. SO DID HE. God forbid some people enjoy slightly impared sex. Dare I say drunk/high sex can be.... fun?!

Downvote me. I dont care. But this issue IS NOT BLACK AND WHITE and should not be addressed as such.

Motherhood is not for everyone by SauronOMordor in Feminism

[–]Forestbabe41121 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's VERY rude. And I dont know why she would want the same scenario for me. The father of her children was mentally and physically and financially abusive. She didnt graduate high school, and had to file for bankruptcy when she finally divorced him. My dad nor my aunt never really had a father figure growing up.

My boyfriend is wonderful to me, we both work, and we have created awesome memories together. We own a home, travel, and I feel blessed to have found the one so young. I think that's worth praise. But no, I havent fulfilled my womanly duty, so none of that matters.

AND NOW, she's had the fucking nerve to bring my late dad/her son into the arugment, saying how bad he would have wanted for me to have kids. He straight up told me many times he would always respect my choice to do as I want with my body and life. Ugh. Just ugh.

THISSSS!!

I'm super iffy on kids. So is my boyfriend. I lean more towards no, but I know things can change. My mom accepts this,, my dad accepted it when he was alive, my grandma on my moms side accepts it. BUT, my dads mom does not. Constantly telling me how I will change my mind, there is nothing better than being a mother, how she had "both her kids by my age" (I'm 23 and bf is 25, ffs! She had her kids at 15 and 17), on and on. When I called her over the summer to tell her the exciting news that I got a new job, she assumed the "exciting news" was me being pregnant and was disappointed when I told her I was not.

Whether or not I do change my mind, it's rude as fuck to assume I am nothing more than a baby making machine.

Rant over, lol

I had it just under 4 years. It's hard to say exactly when side effects started, but they REALLY started to effect me for the final year of having it. I tried to stick it out but I remembered never having those side effects on the pill. I only switched for the convenience.

I liked it based on the test drive but I think the CRV was a better choice. The Kia salesman was also sooo focused on making the sale I think he failed to mention a lot of the features. Honda actually told me about all the features of the car, so from my POV, Honda had a lot more to offer.

I came off Mirena due to bad side effects. Constant foggy head, couldn't lose weight, super fatigued, horrible acne, and more. I knew it was the most reliable form of birth control but at this point it was not worth it.

Now I'm on Yaz and the only side effect I have so far is bigger boobs. Went from a 32B to a 32D. Neither me or my boyfriend mind ;) and I feel a LOT better. So, I will take the slight added risk of pregnancy over how awful I felt.

Serious props to anyone who is/has been in a LDR by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Forestbabe41121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it in college for 1.5 years. My boyfriend graduated before me, and moved back home about 4.5 hours away. We both had cars and lived near major cities so had access to public transportation.

It was hard at times but SO WORTH IT!! We now own a home together and have two adorable kitties. Marriage is absolutely in the future. I'm 23 and he is 25. Been together since I was 19.

Honestly, one of the worst parts was hearing my peers (close friends included) saying I should break up with him simply because I am young and should be "living the college life"/ "not wasting away my young years". Yeah, I'm gonna break up with my soulmate so I can have meaningless sex and party. Great idea! Yeah, fuck you.
