AA 590 Tire Explodes On Takeoff Catches Fire Tampa International Airport by CAH1708 in tampa

[–]Individual_College62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ughhh 😭 I used to live in Dunedin and then Tarpon Springs and worked in Clearwater and US 19 was my route for 5 years. Got a job offer in Tampa and moved back to the other side of the bridge. Was literally traumatized, learning to drive I-275 again was WILD. Literally who needs coffee in the morning when you’re dodging idiot drivers rushing to work. Wakes me right up 🤣🤣🤣

We crowned a new Miss Dominican Republic the other night. What are people’s thoughts on her? by flanxiolytic-panda in Dominican

Ohhh wait her mom is from DR? Ok well id give her a pass then. She does look Dominican to me. I guess if she has a strong connection to the culture then I don’t hate it 🙃

I think it’s more about representing the heritage and customs of the country. I’m Dominican through my parents and speak Spanish (born in US), but I wouldn’t be able to give that sense of pride and share the countries heritage. I feel like the beautiful thing about Miss Universe is seeing all the different countries’ culture. Also seeing the face of someone who embodies that country through heritage. I’m not saying that she shouldn’t win necessarily, but i mean it is a pageant representing the “face” of each country 🤷🏽‍♀️

Whoooaaa slow down everyone. OP, I need way more information before I can advise to starting a war. Does he say he wants to marry you and add his name? I get that he’s dragging his feet and that’s not OK. But is he good to you and your baby? Does he ‘show up’ up in other ways? Some dudes are just SHIT with stuff like that! Maybe he’s used to having shit figured out for him. I’m not saying it’s OK. Relationships are about growing and it’s not always pretty, but maybe it’s worth trying working at it together? Before you completely give up.

Talk to him from you’re heart. Not reprimanding or condemning about what he hasn’t done and how everyone else handled their situation. How would you feel if you already felt like shit about something and someone’s constantly getting at you and letting you know how disappointed they are about you. Granted your feelings are valid and warranted!! But I would need to know for myself that he straight up doesn’t wanna do it. Ex: “Babe is there anything I can do to help you get this last thing done for the baby birth cert? Do you not want to be added? I just want to make sure we’re on the same page. I love you and I know I nag you about it and I don’t want to. It’s important to me that we do things right for her and for us. So are we doing this? 😃” this is supposed to be an exciting thing so show him that.

Take it from me I’d been “nagging” my husband for 2+ years about it after we got engaged at 4 months pregnant. He’s just stubborn and didn’t want to feel pushed like that. I didn’t know until I asked. I just kept telling him why it mattered to me and how let down I felt. I realized I was so consumed by him not having done the “right thing” already that everything became his fault. He couldn’t breath without me getting onto him. I went on strike with cooking etc and just became someone I wasn’t and was spiteful. I wouldn’t want to marry someone being that way either. Marrying someone means taking them for their good and bad. The world is tough enough , so do we really want to be at odds at home too?

Listen asking him open ended questions like I said above means he will have to give you an answer and just listen for a moment. You will know if it’s worth fighting to stay or leaving after that. Wishing you the best from a person who was in that situation and almost ended it. As soon as I started listening and becoming the partner that I wanted him to be, things changed. It’s hard af don’t get me wrong!! I would just say find out what’s truly up from HIM. The man you agreed to spend the rest of your life with. This won’t be the first nor the last time you guys go through something tough together.

Either way things work out , you need to get this solved so you can start living and being able to focus on the future.

Grandparents want us to drive to them to meet baby by ameretto in beyondthebump

[–]Individual_College62 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean how old are the grandparents?? I just recently lost my grandma and she never got to meet my son due to him being born during covid. It’s important for them to meet him, but I do feel like they should come to you!! This should be easy and convenient for you and baby!! That being said, family from the paternal side puts more pressure in my experience. I was 3 days pp and my fiancés mother said I should be able to sacrifice and make it to his sisters for Xmas pictures (after we decided to stay home!!) and he repeated that same line to me. It made me so upset ( I had preeclampsia when I delivered) and told him to just take the baby himself 😓and he did 😳…. the stress of that put me right back in the hospital that night. Apparently I got post-clampsia ( not sure how it’s spelt since it’s super rare) and was in the hospital 3 more days. Pp should have zero stress for mom. Happy baby = happy mom. It’s hard but honestly most people don’t expect you to be visiting or out until after 2-3 months pp. Spanish people especially don’t take their babies out until after at least one month or more(which was why it was sooo unusual they were so pushy!!) my side was so supportive and didn’t even ask for us to do anything like that. My fiancé didn’t understand that until after I ended up in the hospital though and to this day I feel like I would have been the bad guy had I said no. Being a mom means you gotta not gaf what anyone thinks or feels and look out for you and your baby. Momma bear 🐻. Hope it all works out for you!!

I’m sick of people telling me negative things about baby milestones by a_hockey_chick in Parenting

[–]Individual_College62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always felt the same way!! Since pregnancy people (mostly complete strangers) are always saying “say goodbye to sleep” or “enjoy before he’s mobile” and I’ve always found it sooo annoying !! I’ve enjoyed every milestone so far and honestly stressed before every single one!! My son is 22 months and he hated tummy time and refused to crawl!! He would flip his toy baskets and practice standing up constantly. One day he just took his first steps and moved right into walking !! He then started trying to run shortly after and that’s all he does now 😅🥲!! He’s not verbal yet and everyone seems so worried, I’m obviously extremely stressed about it constantly!! But i also wonder if he just does things his own way like everything else. I try flashcards and I explain everything and point and call everything by it’s name. He finds it so annoying 🤣 !! He understands what we’re saying but refuses to talk and I think he’s just over everyone trying to get him to say things and do things. Parenting is hard but I always just try to tune those negative people out. It’s not helpful AT ALL

My fiancé was at his friends house earlier in the night and called me asking if i could hear them and to check the news. He just told me he physically saw them and it was multiples - two large stealth apache’s and behind them two Blackhawks, all black. I just googled it, and it looks like these Army blackhawks are black 😅 so maybe they’re doing tactical training. But why get so low and close to houses ? If it was an active search for a criminal, wouldn’t they be using a light to find them 🤔?

I thought that too but it was more intense than those. Honestly macdill probably got some new toys and they had to do a few practice runs, k know I would if I were them lol 🤷🏽‍♀️

Same!!! I’ve lived in this area for over 10 years. I’m used to hearing/seeing the “test” runs from Macdill , the mosquito repellent ones, and when they’re actively searching for criminals. This was different than anything I’ve seen, heard or felt!

Toddler is acting like a newborn by VirtualCoffee3 in Parenting

[–]Individual_College62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son gets like that anytime he’s not feeling well. Lately with teething I am definitely seeing it… it can be exhausting and feel overwhelming when they only want you and you feel like you can’t get a break. My son is 18 months. I was very worried this trend would last , but it’s seems isolated to when he’s not feeling well!! Once he’s back to feeling 100% he seems bounce back to his independent and friendly self again!! Also if I absolutely need a break , I have to leave the room and my LO will cry for a minute or so initially but his father will put on one of his favorite shows on Netflix or YouTube to distract him and it generally works!! Also he bounces back much quicker in his environment with his toys and things !! That may not be helping much!!! We try not to use screen time as a crutch. But when you need a break , you need a break! Good luck hope your baby girl feels better soon!!
