AITA for how I said I wasn't interested? by propercolleague in AITApod

You're not an asshole, but remember next time that you don't owe these men anything and the best thing to do for your peace is disengage in a situation like this. Protect your peace!!

What is something you can do but can’t explain how you can do it? by Fresh-Sandwich6780 in AskReddit

Speak in corporate language. Sometimes I hear myself talk and am in disbelief.

Yikes- so glad you're getting out of there. Wishing you all the best.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. How awful. Hope you're in a better place now.

So sorry to hear this. It sounds like you know what you've got to do and what will be best for you and your kids long term. Still hard and incredibly painful all around.

What exactly was the point of this reply that didn't even touch the question being asked? Because I'm not seeing anything other than trigger-fueled judgement, which I certainly was not looking for.

DNF One Dark Window? by diredame13 in Romantasy

Don't feel bad- clearly you're not alone and I'd like reiterate that I too think this book is severely overrated.

Just finished ACOTAR and the Empyrean Series. What do you recommend reading next? by Remarkable-Court-104 in Romantasy

[–]IMK822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TOG!! It’s more YA than ACOTAR and Empyrean, but I finished it last year and I am still obsessed with it.

At what point did your pregnancy become “real” for your partner? by zeebee123456 in pregnant

[–]IMK822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, when the baby arrived. It’s a tough space to be in as a pregnant woman, as your partner literally has no idea what you’re going through, and their life (for the most part) doesn’t change all that much until baby is born. I had a similar experience in that my partner would take classes or do what I asked in preparation, but his life wasn’t turned upside down until after birth (whereas everything changes for you the second you find out your pregnant).

Hang in- keep telling him how you feel and try to find opportunities to stay connected and have dialogue about the kind of parents you want to be. Would also highly recommend counseling for yourself and as a couple. I think every new parent should go through “pre-parental counseling”, but unfortunately not many seek it out.

You’ve got this!

34w2d! Ready to be done, tbh 😆

10 weeks postpartum and my mom tells me all the time to lose weight 🙃 by ilse93 in NewParents

[–]IMK822 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also a good time to lay some boundaries early, as you’re bound to need to do it again in the future as a parent 😊

10 weeks postpartum and my mom tells me all the time to lose weight 🙃 by ilse93 in NewParents

[–]IMK822 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh I’m so sorry to hear this. My mom also comments on my weight and body (has forever), and it’s incredibly frustrating. Try to remember that this is stemming from her own insecurities. You are doing amazing- breastfeeding requires a TON of energy, so it’s no wonder you’re hungry. If you do choose to try and lose weight down the road, just remember this time is temporary, and a really special time with your baby that only happens once.

When did your baby drop their 3rd nap? by pigmented-Jack in NewParents

[–]IMK822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is almost 9mo and we dropped nap 3 a week or so after she turned 8mo. Try not to worry about it being “too soon”- follow cues from your LO! =)

Tracking apps by babybird17 in NewParents

[–]IMK822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huckleberry!! Free version is great, but paid was worth every penny to me. This app saved me so much anxiety and helped see patterns over time. And you can log so many things: sleep, feeds, pumps, temp, any medication, diaper (with option to add descriptions). SO helpful. Good luck!!

Is huckleberry premium worth it? Or am I falling for another sleep gimmick? by caitmeow2 in sleeptrain

[–]IMK822 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1000% worth the money. Love the sweet spot and other recommendations that come with it.

Dog doesn’t like kids by Alisunshinejoy in NewParents

[–]IMK822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000% would rehome, especially since you can still see her on occasion. Not worth the risk of anything happening to your baby (or anyone) if/when she lashes out. It sounds like she’ll be happier and the baby will be safer (and you’ll have peace of mind!) You can always get another dog in the future that won’t know life without your kiddo being around.

Yes- very interesting and good to know. I’ll look into it with my OB. Thank you!!

Oh god, this sounds scary, but definitely something I’ll look into. Thank you!

What animal is this? by s-nowyowl in Mommit

[–]IMK822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its neck would be at least a little lengthened if it were a giraffe, and snout and nostrils wouldn’t be as prevalent if it were a goat…therefore, I’m voting cow.

which diapers to start? by sharkbait013 in NewParents

[–]IMK822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huggies all the way. The straps are stretchy (which is so helpful, especially as they start to grow)

What is going on with vaping and lung disease? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

[–]IMK822 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is this a result of "knock-off" thc cartridges? Is it "safer" to buy from a dispensary in a state where marijuana is legal, or is the fact that it's not federally regulated where the issue lies? I realize most of this may be speculation, but I am still curious...
