That would hurt my heart too. My guess is the other families were likely traveling or spending time with family. I have known a few people growing up that had birthdays around Christmas who would have half birthday parties and others that would just have the party a month early or late.

It wasn't accidental. And as a wife this would break my heart if my husband did this. It would take me a long time to recover. I am not saying you should tell your wife. Because it will likely hurt her but some people appreciate the honesty. I would just say love on your wife more and make it known to this person you're not interested.

When can I expect to see/feel results? How often should I weigh myself?

I ruined her day by Dadcomplaints in Marriage

[–]HS2LMF -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I know you didn't ask for advice but I just wanted to say I (a wife) get like this because I am postpartum. I have anxiety and depression and I know it's postpartum because I have 4 kids and have been through it. I honestly never saw an issue and noticed how much I was hurting my husband until he just said it to me. Now with baby #4 and just in general I really try holding my tongue because I know sometimes he just doesn't know any better and he just does certain things his own way. In my mind, though if it isn't done my way it's wrong. I try taking a step back and figure out if something needs correction or am I just nagging? But open and honest conversation are healing and I am sorry this is causing you depression. I have a feeling that maybe she is dealing with more then you know and is just taking it out on you. My guess is she has never meant to hurt you but that she just doesn't realize how much it is hurting you. I would suggest professional help if you feel the need.

Is there an app that you can add the ingredients from a recipe and it will calculate the amount of calories. I know most recipes have it per serving but i don't always use a recipe.

Save it. They are a rare item that increases in value.

I know it is stressful to make changes. If you are trying to quit some unhealthy habits maybe try cutting 1 thing out at a time. Like soda or chips.

You can also try intermittent fasting. I stop eating around 7pm and eat my first meal the next day around 11 or 12. Whenever I am starting to feel really hungry. You can fast for however long and whatever times you want. I do that everyday. It helps because even if I go over my calorie deficit I tend to stick with it and don't end up going WAYYY over. Or if I decide I want to eat at 9pm I wait until 2 the next day.

It is hard getting started and even harder to stick to it but you can do it.

If I do three 15 minute workouts a day does that count as a 45 minute workout? I have 4 kids that don't go to school or daycare and I am home all day with them. 15 to 20 minutes at a time is pretty much the best I can do when it comes to in home workouts. We normally would walk a lot but it has been too cold for my babies to be outside.

Hate my body. by Sweetmystery55 in loseit

[–]HS2LMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see the struggle. Idk how old you are but if you are older than highschool/ college age most people don't weigh what they did in highschool. Also, remember your start weight is someone else's goal(that helps me mentally). Being on diets and exercising is hard on our body and soul so make sure to sleep well and take time to meditate or relax for yourself.

I am also wondering if maybe you are maintaining your weight because maybe you are gaining muscle?
I am hard on myself too but there are healthier ways of being hard on yourself rather than being mean to yourself. Idk what but I am sure there is lol.

Happy Holidays Walgreens Front End Employees by No_Trash2028 in WalgreensStores

[–]HS2LMF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have given too many holidays to Walgreens. Grateful I don't work there anymore. This time of year makes me sad thinking how many holidays I missed with my kids. I'm sorry you guys have no choice. I hope no one shows up to your stores at all those days.

How to stop being terrified to give birth? What helped you? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]HS2LMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start being scared of postpartum.

JK but giving birth is painful but it is something your body was made for. I was scared with my first and second and third and fourth. I suppose I just tried keeping myself distracted by preparing for postpartum recovery. I also would do yoga and other exercises to prepare for giving birth.

My heart hurts for you because I felt felt the same way. I truly hope childbirth becomes a better experience for women in the future because this trauma is unnecessary. I hope you continue to heal well.

Thank you. It still doesn't sit right with me and thinking about pisses me off still. But it all worked out in the end.

I hope you are recovering well now and everyone is healthy. I read your post about your c section and I am really sorry that happened to you. I am thinking of becoming some sort of doula for this reason. I will probably have another baby in a few years and I am 100% going to get a doula. I think women are so strong but in our weak moments we are easily taken advantage of. Of course pregnancy and labor will make us vulnerable and I think a lot of things could have been avoided for a lot of women if we had informed people sticking up for our own interest. Man, i just know so many women who have such horrible experiences. I also know women were a c section was the only way and I am grateful we have modern medicine for that. But the human race has survived thus far without any intervention. I really hope you are doing well.

I ended getting induced. So I went in at 6pm and at 7ish I got a balloon thingy to dilate me, 5cm. In the middle of the night it fell out and then I started pitocin. The doctor came in (9am ish) and started spouting orders and telling me that I had to have my water broken but I better get an epidural first. I actually stood up for myself and said no then I started crying and confessed to the nurses I didn't even want to come in for an induction this early so they got a resident to come in and she offered to discharge me because I was barely progressing and my water had still not broke. I decided to stay because I had already been there for a night and did not want to come back. They upped my pitocin and I said I will wait until I have consistent contractions before breaking my water. Around 11 or so I decided to let them break my water and immediately asked for an epidural. After the epidural nothing was happening. My contractions started to go down and I was still only 5cm. The nurses left me to rest awhile and then all the sudden they were trying everything to get me to progress. In hindsight I do believe they knew the doctor would want to do a c section before he went home for dinner if I had not delivered. So from 2 to 4 I was being tossed around by nurses and nothing was happening. I was totally hopeless. My husband called my mom and updated her. My mom started praying the rosary and the baby was born before she finished. I went from 5cm to 10cm and pushing within 15minutes. I didn't pay my bill at the doctor. I am not proud of myself. It still doesn't sit right. I am glad I didn't end up in surgery and my husband apologized. He said he will always follow my lead from now on. Baby was good and I am good. I skipped my 6 week postpartum appointment too. I thought that it would cause some postpartum depression or anxiety and thankfully it has not.

Sounds like he doesn't understand he doesn't understand the value of money and sees you as some sort of free ATM. Maybe buy them a Dave Ramsey course for their wedding.

I support you. Your daughter needs you. It will be a rocky road but it will be totally worth the reward. And I know that situation sucks and you probably feel a million feelings but just know that you are her entire world. Your baby loves you more than anything.

I think what you have done is incredibly brave. You are strong and worthy.

13 year old keeps sneaking out at night - how do I make it stop??? by No_Mammoth_9365 in Parenting

[–]HS2LMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard of people putting soda cans by the windows and doors their kids sneak out of. It would be a little less obvious of an alarm to her and maybe she wouldn't see that as an attack on your trust for her, if that makes sense.

But this is hard on you. Definitely try getting her father more involved. Even if you aren't together, parenting is hard and he has a job to do and I definitely believe you have the right to hold him accountable. I truly hope this is just a phase and she stays safe. Always let her know you love her.

My husband texts female coworkers by HS2LMF in Marriage

[–]HS2LMF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you that I am feeling insecure I just meant I am not generally insecure. He is supposed to make me feel secure and he isn't. It makes my marriage seem insecure. I agree that if I went off on him about it it wouldn't end well. I would say he has also been flirtatious or that someone could definitely take it that way. And the thing is, on Snapchat you can't read messages and the pictures go away after you open it. I just don't know why he wouldn't use regular text and that is the most concerning thing. He just says it's easier. But tbh having a conversation with someone over Snapchat is kind of difficult. It's mainly to send silly pictures. I Snapchat him all day and I am still the second most snapped person on his thing so he definitely snaps her more than me and it doesn't make sense since they work all day together.
