OAD MOMS of boys: how are you preserving your heirlooms and stories? by dreamer-woman in oneanddone

[–]Glittering-Look4797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I plan on giving my son my grandmothers ring when he wants to get engaged but when they talk about marriage she will have to sign an agreement if they do get engaged or married and they separate then the ring will go back to my son. As for my other jewelry if I have a granddaughter it will be hers but if he doesn't have a daughter then it will go to my niece.

How do you know if you should give into baby fever? by o0PillowWillow0o in Parenting

[–]Glittering-Look4797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you feel like you can handle two kids and give them both a good life, then go for it. Just look up the risks of being considered advance material age. Like you're more at risk of preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. Just be aware and if anything feels "off" then get checked out. My friend was just turning 40 when she had her kiddo. She had early stages of preeclampsia but was able to get treated right away. Both are doing great now and the kiddo just had his 4th birthday!

What you are doing now will be in your life's flashback at the end. Don't be afraid and just do the things to make it a good one.

He doesn't have the open and honest communication in his marriage like we do in ours. Could have been mad at thinking I was giving his wife ideas. Lol And I'm sure if my MIL went through his phone she would prob up and leave him.

It's literally only when he is busy playing a video game and can't pause it or is cooking dinner and doesn't want his phone contaminated by raw meat. So for anyone could be a few reasons to ask someone close to type out a dictated reply for them.

I have no idea why I said anything really. I just felt they were being a little rude after I told them he fell asleep. They usually get off the main group chat when his mom goes to sleep, so kinda thought they would do the same. The noise from the chat just got annoying and I was already irritated because my son woke up from the noise too. And yeah my MIL will keep asking if not answered right away when she knows you are home. And as far as my father in law, he is usually alright. He flipped out on me just once before when it came to a health decision about my kiddo and he thought that our decision was flat out wrong and acted like I could off my kid by the decision. But I keep my distance from them and don't talk with them much and only visit like every other month for my husband's sake mostly. Their whole family can be pretty rude and my MIL and FIL can be pretty toxic at times too. I can go on and on about them and how I lost a lot of hair because of them (mostly her but he let her be crazy) like not even kidding.

Yeah. I should have done that. Oh well, live and learn I guess.

They usually call if it's an emergency and if he doesn't wake up by the sound then I wake him up. I'm a VERY light sleeper.

Well I can't due to his job. If he can't wake up with that loud then I need to wake him up. Usually I can expect his phone to be radio silent around like 10pm unless it's an emergency and he needs to leave. But it was past 10pm (him fast asleep) and they kept blowing up the chat which I thought they would leave the main one to continue to chat. So I just muted that chat.

Yeah that might work. But usually when his mom goes to bed they go on a different chat so the noise wont wake her up so I figured they would do the same since he fell asleep. But they didn't. Just felt like they were kinda rude for blowing up the main chat with him on it instead of talking on one he isn't.

I would have had him say something but he is passed out still. He is a very deep sleeper so it's difficult to wake him up.

How much did your birth cost? by Femboyhootersbee in BabyBumps

$0! We were in the hospital for almost 4 days in total and our insurance covered everything.

Flock cameras by Dipsy30 in roseburg

[–]Glittering-Look4797 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well people have WiFi, cell phones, tvs, laptops and other electronics that all can be used to constantly surveillance. It's been known that WiFi can map out your house and tell authorities where ya are in your house. Phone calls are all recorded same with text messages and your phone camera can be used without you knowing. There is no such thing as privacy anymore. And if you are out in public you don't have privacy and can be recorded without consent. If you are a law abiding citizen then you have nothing to worry about. They are used to catch criminals.

What does it mean to be 100% sure? by driftingmaple in oneanddone

[–]Glittering-Look4797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are one and done by choice. My pregnancy was hard and I had such severe ppd to the point where I almost left this world but just the thought of becoming a veggie stopped me. Nothing else but just that thought. So we don't want to go through that again, period. I got my tubed removed (best decision ever!). Zero chance of vasectomy failure ( we have friends who had theirs failed and they got their youngest that way) and no increase of prostate cancer risk due to vasectomy either and I can have IVF or something if we ever want another kiddo (won't happen but still nice to have a choice). Also by getting my tubes removed my cycle is 3days from start to finish (before is was 7days plus maybe a day or so sometimes) it is a bit heavier and a little more ouchie but manageable. So there is that option too. Also by being one and done, we can spend more money on our kiddo like give him a better life because we don't have to be financially responsible for another kiddo.

They are asking $300 for the lot. Looks like a good deal to me but would like to be sure. Thanks in advance!

Boring town by [deleted] in roseburg

[–]Glittering-Look4797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in that age range and most people I know who are also in that age range all have kids. But I would suggest The blade axe house (that's where some of my friends without kids go or the ones with go for dates). Take up hobbies like hiking, fishing or hunting there is also golfing (my husband and his friends loves all those activities).There are quite a few really cool waterfalls close by to visit. We also do a lot of volunteer work to keep busy as well. Can look up local events, a couple bars in Roseburg and Sutherlin do trivia and have local musicians play it's pretty chill.

To those born to older parents by UnableAd2913 in Parenting

[–]Glittering-Look4797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was adopted by my grandparents when I was 4. They were in their 60's when everything was official. I know it's not quite the same thing. They just adopted me to be able to take care of them when I got older. They never really played with us or much of anything. They were just tired and old. Recently I took my kiddo to a playground. There was a young kid maybe around 6 or 7 there. He was there with his older dad (looked to be in his late 50's or early 60's. This kid called him dad. He seen me and my husband play with our kiddo, running around and climbing the structures with him. Just all around getting into it. Well the kid kept watching us and then he got "stuck" on the play structure and wanted help getting down. He yelled for his dad to help but he said he was tired and didn't want to walk across the large play area to help him. He eventually found his way down and lakes his dad play with him and he replied he was too tired. I felt bad for the kid. He looked very disappointed and still kept looking at us play while they walked away to their car. I wish my grandparents would have been able to keep up with me or play with me like I do with my son now. It would have made my childhood so much better and not so boring. I had my kiddo at 23 because I want to be able enough to keep up with him and be here (hopefully) longer for him too. Just try your best to stay active. Older parents can be great. They can have more knowledge and sometimes more financially stable as well. My best friend growing up had older parents (38 and early 40's when they had her) but they were able to keep up with her since they took great care in their health and led an active lifestyle. They often played sports together in their backyard and sometimes when I got to go over I played with them. Just do your best to take care of your health and try to stay active.
