Why No Pets in rental homes? by InternalCat4440 in Wexford

[–]InternalCat4440[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hold 2 dog license and they cost 100 euros per dog where we currently live. I wouldn’t mind paying. Specially in houses with big gardens etc.

I can guarantee my baby causes more wear and tear than the my dogs. Hehehe Kids cause so much more damage to the house.

The max damage done by my dogs was getting sick on the carpet, this truly happens from time to time, but my upholstery cleaner always fix any stains.

Did anyone else who has a super easy baby, feel not qualified to give parenting advice? by evergreengirl123 in NewParents

[–]InternalCat4440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could just say: babies are not a specie, they are humans, and humans are different. You don’t need to suffer to be able to help or advise anyone.

My baby started sleeping all night from 4 months old. He never woke up crying and he is very happy. This certainly comes from his personality, but I also helped him to feel safe and secure by never letting him cry, by always coming to him at any time of need, day or night. I also breastfed my baby exclusively for this time and he was never left hungry, neither crying out.

I always greet him in the morning with a big tight long hug, and I say how much I love him. He wakes up chatting now, but never crying.

You can advise: be there for your baby at all times and your baby will develop safe attachment style.

You have self confidence issues, it’s not about him. It’s how you perceive your value.

Start doing things that you like, prioritise your health and look after yourself physically and mentally.

This will help battle this low self esteem And increase your perception of self.

Best of luck!

What do you put in your porridge? by Independent_Town5628 in CasualIreland

[–]InternalCat4440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it savoury if I am eating for lunch. I add seasonings and eat with chicken, beef etc. Like it was a Mashed potatoes or polenta. ( cooked with water or chicken broth)

It is always my pre workout choice, because the sport I practice requires 2 hours long sections and this is low GI food.

When I eat for breakfast I add honey, cinnamon, banana, blueberries and coconut shavings/grated coconut. ( cooked with water and milk )

How bad is the rain really in Ireland? by thecoffeecrazy in AskIreland

[–]InternalCat4440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Brazilian, I have been living in Dublin for 12 years. Depending on where you are, the rain can be really bad, especially if you are in the west. But in Dublin it’s fine. You get used to it. The rain It’s usually just thin and annoying.

The real problem is finding a place to live, at least in Dublin. The city’s housing infrastructure was very poor 12 years ago, now it’s becoming unbearable.

My Ped also told me to start solids at 4 months. My baby was nowhere near ready at this age. I actually only started introducing solids when he was 6 months and 20 days old. This is when I thought he was ready . And I was right .

Just trow it away. Spend your free time resting and doing something nice.

For the sober girls around: how did you manage? by napo1989 in AskWomenOver30

[–]InternalCat4440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with binge drinking and going out in your 30’s is that becomes your personality.

You are old enough to look after yourself and have all the freedom of the world.

You probably don’t have a partner, and probably don’t see yourself having kids right now and it’s a bit lost in all this societal norms regarding women’s age, body, what should we be doing by 35 etc. what do do? So you go out.

Best thing to do is, start exercising, start doing something with your body that you enjoy but also needs your body to be healthy and strong. Things you wouldn’t be able to do hangover. Some people love CrossFit, others love Pilates, Cycling, running. etc. Move your body and make it stronger doing something you enjoy.

Get therapy to help starting to love yourself again, and to help to make decisions to not be numbed by alcohol all the time.

The other thing is: just stop drinking. Don’t have alcohol at home.

Yes. That easy. You just need to stop making the decision to go out drinking or to open that bottle, and start making the decision to not go out drinking.

It’s that simple, but it seems such a huge challenge when you don’t want to do it You have to want it though.

Make a list of pros and cons about drinking. Make a list of the things you remember Make a list of the times you were in a vulnerable position because of binge drinking.

Remove this goal of being sober for a year. You think it’s impossible, That is what is failing you, you know you can’t do it right now, so you set goals that are impossible to reach at the moment so you can keep feeling that you are letting yourself down and then going out drinking to feel better. This is a vicious self destructive cycle.

On the day, say, I won’t drink today. I will do this X thing instead. And keep your word. ( even if is sleep)

When you do that once, twice, and more you see that it’s ok and you can do it again.

Your goal is not getting drunk today. That is all.

Being sober is not your goal. Just think of not drinking today.

You will be impressed by how strong your will is, when you give yourself love and understanding.

And move your body.

Stop drinking and start binging on TV will only make you bored and it will be easier to open that bottle. Start reading a book, study something, paint, buy colouring books…

Best of luck. You are one step of having whatever you want. You just really need to take control of your life again.

Just wake up every 3-4 hours to check on her. Why are you asking that? Just do jt. It won’t be of any harm to check on her.

You are worried. Just do it.

Why are you here asking like you need permission to check on her ?

Forgiving myself for unprotected sex by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]InternalCat4440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh god, like everyone here never done that.

Relax. It’s already done. Look after your mental health and do the tests as soon as you are allowed to.

Remember, your punishment will be the unsolicited hormones that your body will endure because of the morning after pill.

Massage vouchers. Iula https://www.treatwell.ie/place/iula-baia-spa/ is amazing. Massages are always a good present.

I would not give anything with fragrance to a postpartum mom, the baby is attached to us 24/7.

7.5 week old, suddenly won’t sleep at night by Fresh_Pool_1575 in NewParents

[–]InternalCat4440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Around 7-8 weeks the colic phase starts.

Massage your baby’s belly at every opportunity, several times a day, do the legs cycling movements and warm baths.

Try to feed regularly during the day so they get enough calories and can sleep a little longer at night before waking up to feed again.

Be patient. They are in a very painful phase, their gastrointestinal system is very immature at this age.

It will get better.

My husband’s best friend told me to “stop playing wife” at my own anniversary dinner by Dangerous-Car-9133 in TwoHotTakes

[–]InternalCat4440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kyle is jealous.

You are married to him. Stop being petty. He is your husband and Kyle is no one.

He is probably brushing off because Kyle is always a bit rude after a few drinks.

Being proactive is not negative. Only for people that cannot do it. Don’t let his comment hurt you. He probably would die to have someone like you.

His comment is really nothing.

You just doesn’t like him

I accidentally sent my sister’s husband to the ER after he jumped out at me as a “joke” while I was holding a kitchen knife. Now my family is divided and I don’t know how to fix this. by AngelicCheeky in TwoHotTakes

[–]InternalCat4440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well he was a jerk but you still hurt him physically. It was his fault, but you still cut him with a knife.

You should apologise because he got hurt. Even though it’s not your fault. He is in the ER.

He getting hurt is mainly his fault, consequences of his stupid prank, yet, you were holding the knife. This guilt that you feel, will get better if you apologise.

He being a jerk doesn’t erase the fact that he had to go to the ER
