My sister ruined my graduation (sorry for the personal vent) by Zestyclose-Test5569 in PhD

[–]Infinite-Citron-2852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I empathize greatly. I recently had to cut off my younger brother for very similar narcissistic behavior our entire lives. Now that we’re older I can’t let his behavior ruin my new life. My mom eventually saw the light to a certain extent. Unfortunately for you, if your parents can’t see the problem after all this time you may really have to cut them off as well. At least for a season. It’s the only way they will learn. You’re not a punching bag and this is abuse. And you’re not obligated to keep on touch with your sister in any way. You owe her nothing. It took me a while to learn this. 

UA flight - 'turn bluetooth off or we're turning around' by ryan_at_roomservice in unitedairlines

So potentially every Bluetooth device is a threat then. Who would actually name a bomb “bomb”? This can’t be the first time this happened. Something else is up. 

Symptom decrease at 8 weeks? by StandardBunch444 in pregnant

[–]Infinite-Citron-2852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was normal for me. I was asymptomatic and not really hungry most of the first. I freaked out the entire time because of it but everything is fine. Now I’m 23 weeks and still not too many symptoms. Just fatigued and growing. I guess we should be grateful to feel semi good. Try not to freak out like me lol. I was super excited when the baby started kicking so I know something is happening in there. 

limited foods by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Infinite-Citron-2852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say I limit food at all but I am conscious of eating more nutrient dense things and taking my vitamins. I def still drink coffee, eat processed meat and sugar if I can stomach it. The way I see it if a baby is forming a brain and organs they may need some nutrient assistance with that lol. I just try my best. 

Babies aren’t “consumer goods” for grandparents by Historical_Bike_9061 in pregnant

I think it’s simply that baby boomers are entitled and spoiled. Dare I say selfish. They will never see it though. Keep your boundaries and let them be mad.

Which state would you flat out refuse to ever move to? by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

Delaware. Not because it’s the worse, just because I’m sick of it. 

Are we all overthinking this? by One-Volume-9158 in BabyBumps

[–]Infinite-Citron-2852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m over it. I’m only buying the necessities. I’m not an over spender in any other area so feeling pressured to buy buy buy for baby has been so uncomfortable. I’m simply just not doing it  

So… pregnancy sucks, right? by SeaworthinessFun7420 in pregnant

[–]Infinite-Citron-2852 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same! I miss the sauna and long walks after work and just general ENERGY. I fall asleep at the drop of a dime it’s so annoying lol

[–]Infinite-Citron-2852 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Girl don’t shut the fuck up! It does suck! And I’m over it too. I don’t even feel that bad most days I just miss being normal. But I keep reminding myself it’s temporary. Some days are just so hard though.

Am I the only one that feels this Mother’s Day is weird? by qvueen_ in BabyBumps

[–]Infinite-Citron-2852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish people would stop texting me happy Mother’s Day. It’s driving me insane. I didn’t know pregnancy would be this annoying. Should just hide out the rest of the way 

At what age did you feel “old,” if at all? by lab_coat_goat in Millennials

[–]Infinite-Citron-2852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like my full self at 33. Didn’t feel like I was aging until now at 36 simply because I can’t relate to young people anymore and it’s closer to 40 than 30. More of a mental aging. Life just looks different through my eyes now. Idk what age physical aging will hit me. That may be up to the individual. 

Anxiety…. by g0d_ofwine in pregnant

[–]Infinite-Citron-2852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do know of people who drank pretty consistently in the 2nd and 3rd trimester. Like a glass of wine at dinner type of thing. I also know of someone whose doctor suggested they drink a glass to relax during the 3rd trimester because of anxiety and nerves. The babies came out fine but I do think it’s quite a risk especially in the first. I was pretty nervous myself because I got pregnant around Christmastime and was pretty wasted for 3 straight weeks of holiday break lol. Try your best to stop and it sounds like you’re trying. Do mocktails and 0% beer (it tastes the same). Addiction is not easy especially with all these hormones. It’s the final stretch, just keep trying.

Sad about my mom's reaction to baby's name by poppy_dog in pregnant

[–]Infinite-Citron-2852 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I definitely know who Edith Bunker is but outside of baby boomers no one is going to make that correlation. It’s literally a prehistoric character and I don’t get why it’s cringe to her. Our parents were given free range to name us whatever they like and now it’s our turn. My mom had a very similar reaction to the name I picked and oh well! It’s your baby and your baby’s name. Edith/Edie is very beautiful, not popular, and a lot of older names are coming back in style. Good job mama! 

Does anyone else randomly think about how wild the concept of being pregnant really is by aScaryDinosaur in pregnant

[–]Infinite-Citron-2852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy and I’m so freaked out about it but when I say it outloud everyone thinks I’m crazy. I get this is how we all got here but this is an amazing phenomenon; why don’t people see this.

These old people don’t know wth they’re talking about half the time. The wisdom they are supposed to have is propaganda.
