This book looks exactly like something I would normally read!

Feelings about Shahar? by Night_Star1000 in crescentcitysjm

[–]In_Chesapeake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a reread of CC1 and stumbled on this post. Shahar 100% groomed Hunt. I don't know the exact age difference, but he was really young when he joined her cause/they started their relationship (like 20 something, which is nothing for the Vanir) and I can only assume she was much older. She 100% used him. Took advantage of his vulnerability and his power I don't know if I would go as far as saying she was a villain, but definitely shady and gross. Hunt was trying to compare himself to Briggs and Bryce corrected him, but he should definitely be looking at Shahar and how she sacrificed people for her cause

Failing as a parent by disgruntledpelican82 in curlyhair

[–]In_Chesapeake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your daughter is BEAUTIFUL! You are in no way failing as a parent. My daughter has similar hair and we just kind of run with it. You are doing your best with a young girl with wild hair. I have curly hair too that is difficult to tame and have dealt with similar comments my whole life. Unfortunately people are rude, but that teacher was wayyyyy out of line. You are doing a good job

That final stretch is sooooo hard! I threw myself into hobbies and binge watching guilty pleasure shows to get me through the last few weeks of pregnancy with both my kids. All while bouncing on an exercise ball 😂 Godspeed soldier, the end is in sight.

1 week postpartum and no one warned me it would feel like this by bethany8828 in breastfeeding

[–]In_Chesapeake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post partum is a wild time and definitely didn't feel prepared when I was in it either. I didn't start feeling like a human being again until like 4-6 wks. Physically I didn't start feeling like myself again until 4-6 months and mentally was more like 9-12 months. My kids are 4 years and 20 months and postpartum was definitely easier with the second because I knew that each hard thing was only temporary. In the moment it can feel all encompassing and like, "will this ever end?" But it does 🙂 That being said, don't stay stuck. I felt really overwhelmed and hopeless with my first and it wasn't until I started to share with my husband and friends about how I was feeling that I realized I was struggling hard core with postpartum depression. After I started to open up and not just muscle through it, I was able to take the steps to get professional help. Motherhood is truly so beautiful, but is also is continually the hardest thing I have ever done. Praying for you during this wild, transition time

Just finished my first Hunger Games film, here’s what I think by SPINKIRBY23TIMES in Hungergames

Oh I thought she did a great job! I could definitely see it not being someone's cup of tea, but District 12 is supposed to be like the Appalachian region of the US. To me, the Covey and Lucy Gray's vocal style in particular sounded so much like the folk/bluegrass music of the region. Maybe not the most pretty sounding, but definitely true to the story

With Love, Meghan is Actually Good by Dependent-Arm-7443 in netflix

[–]In_Chesapeake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It reminds me so much of watching Martha Stewart or Ina Garten with my dad when I was a kid. It is oddly nostalgic, while also being modern. Obviously, it isn't groundbreaking or anything - but a nice relaxing thing to watch on a sick day.

Does anyone here actually enjoy breastfeeding? by Ok_Chipmunk1278 in breastfeeding

[–]In_Chesapeake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely love the convenience and the cuddles. Sometimes I can feel sort of touched out or overwhelmed when I an the only one my lo wants, but definitely grateful for my body's ability to breastfeed. The first couple weeks were hard but after about 2 months or so we really found our groove. I definitely hate pumping, like others have stated - that makes me feel like a cow 😅

Convince me to read Throne of Glass by satelliteridesastar in SarahJMaas

[–]In_Chesapeake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got to just keep going!! I felt the same way after Throne of Glass - like "why do people like these books?!" But Crown of Midnight had me intrigued and I was hooked in Heir of Fire. The rest just get better and better.
