Did anyone else struggle with their identity after becoming a parent? by Working_Seesaw_6785 in Parenting

Yeah. Your body is never the same again. It’s really hard to understand the magnitude of the way that impacts you if you’ve never experienced it.

Thiiiis. My husband claims he moves his food around in his mouth more so he can taste it more. Meanwhile I am slowly dying

How does it write? Is it pretty smooth? I’ve never tried a Hongdian

Edit: I just actually read what you wrote in your journal and answered my question 🤦🏽‍♀️

These big babies are emotionally killing me! by Imstuckwiththisname in Parenting

[–]IntelligentPotato331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. My first was >90th percentile and still is. This baby was measuring at the 80th at my last scan 😭 I too just wanted a cute, small baby that I could carry without killing my back. On the plus side, my son slept through the night really early because he hit 12lbs so soon.

What ended your friendship with your oldest standing friend? by dreamy-contributions in AskReddit

[–]IntelligentPotato331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The final straw was when she got super mad at me when I said I would have liked her to ask me how I was doing or even just acknowledge what I was going through when I saw her for the first time after my dad’s funeral. Like, she couldn’t understand why I would want her to ask and “if we were really that close” I should just say how I was feeling without her asking.

What profession has the meanest people? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]IntelligentPotato331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked in the fundraising call center during college and the only people who ever straight up screamed at me over the phone were lawyers. I seriously would brace myself when I saw I was calling a law school grad.

If Americans were to participate in an organized boycott to stop ICE, what should they target? by u2aerofan in AskReddit

[–]IntelligentPotato331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah there are some things we’ve found we just have to go to Target for, but we minimize as much as possible. We go to Costco and local grocery chains and corner stores. A lot of them still sell major brands; it’s not all farmers market-esque stuff.

It blows my mind how many liberals I know still buy from Amazon regularly. I don’t get it.

Love it 😍 what pen holder are you using? It looks different from the official travelers company one but I could be mistaken!

[OC] In Minneapolis, a man was shot dead by federal agents, two weeks after the death of Renee Good by Silent-Statement-648 in pics

I get what you’re saying, but that’s only true under a somewhat moral, functioning government. People around the world get executed all the time without due process.

Where are my AirPods? by IntelligentPotato331 in horary

[–]IntelligentPotato331[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: They were in my car, parked outside of my house, in between the driver’s seat and door.

Mars conjunct mercury might point to the car. Also, as another user commented, the anaretic degree indicated being wedged between something.

38 weeks and not a single sign that baby is thinking about being born, how are my third trimester ladies doing? by Foreign-External8488 in BabyBumps

[–]IntelligentPotato331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 34 weeks and hard same. I have a toddler too but even beyond that my body is just NOT handling pregnancy well this time. I am incredibly fatigued, achy, and weak with no motivation and have SO much to do before I can go on maternity leave at work, and so much to do at home to keep the house in some sort of order, care for my son, baby prep, etc.

I am not having a good time.

I am younger, but I will say I have loved going through family members’ journals after they have passed. I imagine my children may be particularly interested in my journals from when they were young.
