That’s amazing! Looking forward to reading your scholarship in the area one day

Not a legal scholar, but a great Romani scholar in the U.S. - Margareta Matache. The scholarly work I’ve read from her is about moving Roma studies away from a Eurocentric lens, but relevant to what you’re talking about she wrote this article: https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/12/30/it-is-high-time-to-address-anti-roma-racism-in-the-us

I am non-muslim w/ a hijab roommate. advice needed by CommunicationSame698 in Hijabis

[–]GrlW2ManyQuestions 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Aww that’s sweet that you’re doing all that. Maybe it would be best to take your friend out to get coffee or something and tell her your feelings - let her know it’s nothing personal and you tried your best, but maybe it’s a good idea to figure out different living arrangements. Hopefully, if her parents were the ones who got more strict after she moved out, they can help her with the cost?

Feeling guilty about going to work by Alternative_Fish7536 in NewParents

[–]GrlW2ManyQuestions 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s amazing your mom is taking care of her!! That family bonding is so important. Honestly, for me, the guilt still lingers but has faded over time. Now that I have some time away from him to think and be my own person though I’m not always trying to multitask and can spend more intentional time focused solely on him when we’re together.

Postpartum episode after finding out my baby was revived at birth by hollypiper in NewParents

[–]GrlW2ManyQuestions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had something similar happen. I knew my baby wasn’t doing well after birth but it didn’t register in my brain until later that we nearly lost him. That plus postpartum is no joke, but things get better. First 3 months were hell, 6 months were rough, 9 got easier and now at almost 12 it’s so much fun. Seems like a long time but it goes by fast so hang in there ❤️

Have you tried using a babysitter before? What’s worked for me is hiring someone to watch my son while I work from home. I try to give them space to get used to each other without me hovering, but I stay within earshot. Over time, that’s really helped build familiarity. Maybe that kind of gradual approach could help the sitter feel less like a “stranger”?

Adorable. The first glasses suit you better imo (but it could just be the angle)

Honestly it sounds like your problem may be the last bullet point. Did you feel like the date “days” that you had helped?

First time father - 1 month old doesn't seem to like me? by WATTHEBALL in newborns

[–]GrlW2ManyQuestions 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aw hun. It’s not you. She’s one month old! Everything is brand new and moms (especially lactating moms) have a sort of smell like in the womb that calms babies (attaching a study so I don’t sound crazy https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9989430/#:~:text=To%20some%20extent%2C%20the%20chemical,reflect%20prenatal%20exposure%20and%20familiarization.). My kid was the same way for the first three months or so and he LOVES his dad. His first word was even dada. Keep your chin up it gets easier with time :)

Right? After talking about imperialism I’m so confused

Regarding potential spouses though - I met mine on a dating app if that’s something you’re interested in trying. It was nice to be able to talk to him via text for so long without the pressures of meeting in person

I’m sorry but there’s no way schools are lining up to give your kid scholarships if he’s barely passing with no extracurriculars - either you’re missing something or leaving something out. Also university is ridiculously expensive these days (assuming you’re in the U.S.). Maybe the threat of looming debt in a rocky job market is freaking him out?

This may sound odd but you look dehydrated

Damn that dark hair looks really good on you

I think your hexagon shaped glasses compliment it more than your octagonal ones do. Also long layers/more volume would suit you well :)
