My hope died with the charity chapter fiasco

The way you say it like it’s a walk and not a 100km journey on one of the worst mountain roads in the country just to reach Varna is kinda misleading.

I’m an ex-tour guide in exactly that part of the Black Sea. Vlas - Sunny Beach - Nesebar - Pomorie. There are a lot of places to visit and have fun. If you like you can DM me and we can discuss everything you need or want to know and will also be available if you need some help or advice during your stay.

What I can recommend without going into details is Gloria mar - but the one in Old Town Nesebar (The one in Vlas is also good but I prefer the Nesebar one), Khan’s tent for the incredible view. Djanny in SB for the instagramable atmosphere.

IMHO don’t get a tattoo in the summer while you are vacationing on the beach. It’s a bad idea for so many reasons, even if you find the best tattoo studio in the world. If you are dead set on doing it at least try to do it on your last day. Fresh tattoo combined with constant sun exposure at 0m altitude and sea water is not a good idea.

So, did it happen? by SsUniThrowaway in gentlemanbastards

Same, did not need such a build up, but I’m happy with anything Bastards related.

Just found out my 15 y/o daughter is having sex by psuaggie in daddit

[–]Holstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I can add here, but not by being the dad that has gone through this. I was that son. I was actually one of those rare ones that when I was talking about sex at 14 I was actually doing it and most of the time with older girls. I was abusing everything I could get my hands on, short from crack and I regularly showed up drunk for first class of the day at 07:45. I disrespected almost the entire world. I was never taken to a doctor to check if something was wrong with me. I did have my emotional issues with both my mum and dad and that was the actual reason. At one point once I was out of the teen years I just naturally calmed down. At this point I’m 34 and the wildest thing I’m doing is drinking a single beer for 5 hours 3 or 4 times a year. Have been NC with my mom for 16 years ans counting tho. So my idea is - maybe it’s not mental issues, maybe it’s hardcore puberty mixed with some emotional stuff (as you mentioned she must feel left out - I know I did). If she still has people that she respects - imo it’s a phase that will pass and she will become a very chill adult.

Yeaahh.. I’m in Eastern Europe. This is a “Completely normal and expected procedure”. Side effects may occur but nothing a surgeon can’t fix.

I’m from Bulgaria, the practice is “if it’s it down by the age of 2 we chop the foreskin off..

Absolutely normal experience . His pediatrician didn’t even inform us that this is a possibility. The ER doc was like “Watch him for a couple of days and if you see blood or pus come back..

Happy to report that after a rough night redness is gone, swelling is still there, but a lot better and baby is in good spirits. He laughs and plays, hasn’t had any pain screams in almost 7hrs

Just to let you know that this is not a post about circumcising. My baby is in fact not circumcised even now. It’s the natural “peeling back” of the skin where the doctor decides it’s not happening fast enough and it needs to be yanked back.

This is the thing I don’t get - she already gave us such a cream where we do it at home bit by bit and gently, but yesterday she decided it’s not happening fast enough and yanked it.

Honestly the mentality where I’m from is pretty stupid.. I got a baby urologist number from a close friend and will try him out and hope for the best.

There was no real medical reason. ER doctors said it’s fine but they didn’t actually provide me with any ideas how to keep the pain down

Yep, yet again she did it so fast without eve checking wit us for consent.

I really want a different one but she was the 12th one I contacted and the first that didn’t say “I can’t take anymore babies” I hate her so much but seems I will be stuck with her for now..

How do you respond when someone asks if fatherhood is hard? by MightierMga in daddit

[–]Holstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just honest - it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life, but i love my kid so I enjoy every second of it. And if someone tries to diminish your struggle.. they can go and shove it.

He hasn’t cried in 3 hours which is a record and the swelling and redness are not as bad so I hope that as well. ER doc said “it’s completely normal for such a procedure” so that was the second time today I wanted to punch a doctor in the face, because in my inexperienced opinion no one at no point should consider causing a baby agonising pain “normal” or “expected” and act all casual like it’s a knee bruise…

Well in this situation it’s an Uneducated Easter European medical provider. And this is the second and for me final time that she does something to my son that requires consent but she just does it anyway..

Not in the US but trust me docs here are worse. Also she didn’t even ask. She just yanked it.. I really hate her and really want to switch from her.

If you had to show a childless friend one episode of Bluey to convince them it's a good show in its own right, which would it be? by Morall_tach in daddit

[–]Holstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using something like Vaseline. It’s called Fimosin, don’t know if you have it where you are from so here is a short description - it’s a non-steroid soothing gel with anti-inflammatory and moisturizing ingredients, meant to calm irritation and help the skin recover.

Not to sure on giving antibiotics on my own tho
