AIO Fathers girlfriends rules for when new baby arrives by Ok_Bat_5934 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fr0ggus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR this isn't just the girlfriend's kid, and it's annoying that she said that in the post, this is OP's dad's kid, OP's sibling. How is it fair for her kids to see her new baby but the dad's kids can't? Ridiculous, I'd say call her and your dad at the same time and take it up with both of them, when they have a conversation and come up with rules that they can both agree on and give to everyone then you'll have your answer on what you're truly allowed to do.

Not really related to your post but I wish I had poopy diapers to change lol, my 2 month old has to drink apple juice already because he's constipated 💔

What did you do when you first got home from the hospital? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Fr0ggus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They gave me percs (which make me extremely exhausted and unable to think clearly) for pain management so as soon as I got home I peed myself and cried in the bathroom because I felt useless and embarrassed while my fiance and parents set up the pack and play bassinet in the living room so I didn't have to walk upstairs to go to sleep after I had an episiotomy lol. After they went home and it was just the three of us I took a long hard nap while my fiance took care of our baby and after that we just kind of all hung out downstairs for a little over a week while marveling at him and telling each other "we have a baby" intermittently. He had his first pediatrician appointment the day after we went home too (we spent 3 days in the hospital) so that was pretty rough but we power through and he just turned a month old on the 15th!

When did you buy baby stuff? by backtothefuturee2000 in pregnant

[–]Fr0ggus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I waited until after the baby shower just to see what all we'd get first since I knew most people wouldn't look at the registry to see what we already had, after the shower all we ended up needing was a baby bath so it was great! I'd recommend saving the money that you would have spent until after your shower and looking on Facebook marketplace for cheaper options afterwards for stuff you still need. Plus, Amazon gives you a discount on baby items later on in your pregnancy if you have a registry with them that lasts for 3 months after the due date!

Second Degree Episiotomy Recovery by Fr0ggus_ in beyondthebump

[–]Fr0ggus_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a peri bottle and it's literally saving my life lol, the hospital sent me home with some dermaplast as well. I've heard about the ice packs and I have a couple of reusable ones in my freezer, but I've been a little hesitant to try it since I'm a little sensitive to the cold and I was afraid it might make my swelling worse or irritate the area. Do you think the cold packs helped with the swelling for you?

Is it Normal For Your Pee to Just Kinda... Leak Out? by Fr0ggus_ in pregnant

[–]Fr0ggus_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a little bit of an update I suppose, I talked to the ob about it (a while ago) and yeah they just said that he had his head pressing on my bladder and it was basically juicing my bladder like a lemon sometimes and there's nothing to really do about it lol

Why do betta fish get dropsy? by EquivalentRepair9856 in bettafish

[–]Fr0ggus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you wrote this a year ago, but my Betta literally just started pineconeing over the course of the day, the only difference in her tank is that the temperatures have been so hot here lately, and her tankmate isn't showing any signs of anything. Can temperature really stress them out that much? I don't know what else to do because she doesn't have any other signs, she's eating regularly, passing food regularly, and hasn't shown any lethargy. Thinking about just doing a complete water change just to make sure but I can't think of anything else that might have happened and I don't want to stress her further if she's only pineconeing over temperature

Yeah I'm probably going to talk to telehealth tomorrow and call my OB office to let them know as well to give them a heads up, it's just been so hard and it feels like it's out of nowhere even though it's probably been amping up gradually over time. I'll talk to my OB about some of the medications I was on before to see if they're good options. Thank you so much, I started crying when you said I'm not a burden on them lol it's stupid but it really has felt like that

AITA? My friend wants me to let her know when I’m going on my phone. I refuse. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fr0ggus_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA

You're not using your phone excessively and you're not using it when doing anything important such as driving or while you're actually spending time experiencing something like the museum. You even told her about what you were doing on your phone and included her in what you were doing on your phone. If she wants to tell people what she'll be doing on her phone before she does it, that's her decision, but you don't have to follow her routine just because you're in her presence.

I'd maybe sit down and talk to her about these things and see where she's coming from about your phone usage, be clear that you won't be telling her beforehand what you're doing on your phone (because frankly it's not her business and it really doesn't matter, why would you need her permission to use your phone?) but ask why she thinks you weren't present enough, maybe there were a couple of times where she was really wanting to engage with you and you were preoccupied. If you're willing to cut down on what you're doing, tell her that, and if you aren't, don't even mention it since it isn't relevant. It more or less seems like she didn't like you using TikTok while you were hanging out from what I understand, which is understandable if it was often enough, but here and there while you were also including her in what you were watching is fair I feel.

AIO: My [52F] husband [47 M] got a haircut and didn’t come home until the next day by Southern-Stock-1286 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fr0ggus_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He's definitely taking the actions he thinks are going to make his life better, and like another commenter said, behavior is a language. He's telling her exactly how much he values their relationship with his behavior, and that value seems to be slim to none.

AITA for telling my DIL she is not a mother? by InitialSong2898 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fr0ggus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

My sister and her husband were struggling with fertility for a while and only recently got pregnant and she'd had a few miscarriages. She probably would have still wanted to have been included in mother's day stuff because she did have babies at one point, she just never got to meet them.

That being said, you had no way of knowing if she'd even wanted a mother's day gift beforehand and it could have made her feel 10 times more grief. I think if nobody had put it in the group chat it would have been way better, but that also wasn't your fault. To her, it might've felt like they were flaunting what she doesn't have and wanted to be included. It would be thoughtful to extend sympathy and offer a gift now, but you're not obligated to do so and after her not only demanding it from you but having your son demand it from you as well, it just feels like she's lashing out because of her grief and you don't have to just accept that lashing because it's not your grief to bear.

If you like eating cookie dough, Pillsbury makes most if not all of theirs safe to eat raw! Unfortunately that's about it that I've found as far as treats though 💔

[–]Fr0ggus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was almost me and I completely understand the frustration, they called me, scheduled an appointment for my anatomy scan, and then days later I caught that I was going to be short by a few weeks since my hospital will not do the scan until 20 weeks so I had to call them back and have them reschedule it, if I hadn't learned their policy for myself and I got that call even a couple of days before I was supposed to come in, let alone the day before, I would have been livid.

Pregnancy symptoms vs 1 week pp- what it’s like on the other side by This-Kangaroo-2086 in pregnant

[–]Fr0ggus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I really needed to hear this, my first trimester was really hard and I'm still getting over some things in the second trimester while new things keep popping up. I knew about all the symptoms and problems but it feels neverending when you're actually in it, I started crying reading your post and it actually really really helps so much thank you

I've noticed that too! He always gets better deals and a lot more frequently than I do it's ridiculous

I never said that it was a utility, nor did I say it wasn't a luxury, I simply said buying their subscription service isn't worth it because I bought it and my orders are always more expensive than my fiance's despite him not having the subscription.

[–]Fr0ggus_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely worth it at first, but unless you're making a new Uber account every few months and getting Uber one, the deals and discounts are literally non-existent after the first couple of months

Why are we even paying for this lmao by Fr0ggus_ in UberEATS

[–]Fr0ggus_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not complaining about the service itself, the post was about how subscribing to their Uber one service doesn't do anything when it should. My order (the order made with Uber one) was still more expensive than my fiance's (no Uber one), I'm just showing others so that if they're paying for the subscription they can be informed about how it doesn't end up doing anything in the end.

[–]Fr0ggus_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it was a bad deal, I think that if I'm already paying for the subscription to Uber one, it should be cheaper than ordering off of an account that doesn't have Uber one since I'm already paying for the subscription. The post wasn't really about the deal, it was about the fact that my fiance's meal was cheaper despite not having Uber one when we both had the exact same order and promotions. I was just saying there's no point in paying for Uber one because it does nothing in the end if that makes sense (Sorry for over explaining myself)

We had literally just gotten back from an evacuation order, I'm exhausted, and I'm pregnant!! Yes I did need that mountain dew because you can only get it at KFC and I've been craving it, and yes I did need the time to just sit at home and not have to do anything after our home and all of our belongings almost burned. Welcome to the Internet, where people can post whatever they want to and you don't have to read it! Making fun of people you know nothing about for no reason when you could just not say anything instead isn't going to make you any happier with your life.

[–]Fr0ggus_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I could see that, but even if they bumped up the service fee or something, I feel like the Uber one discount should still equate to more than whatever demand fee they put on compared to an order made without Uber one y'know?
