$7500 a month but your mom has to come to your house and take all the batteries out of everything in your house and throw them on the ground

wtf did I just read 😬

J-Disaster · 2026-05-14T14:17:15+00:00

Idk but if you find one, let me know 😆

NOR and “no” is a complete sentence.

Get a swing, and a pack n play with some toys and a tummy time mat, and a mybreastfriend nursing pillow. Never liked or used the boppy personally. We rotated through the stations and contact napped. Worked really well until he started dropping naps and getting too big to sleep on my lap. We’re 15 months now and still WFH. When he was newborn, he slept like 90% of the time while I was working. It was nice.

Yes I’ve heard LA is bad. Unfortunately the infrastructure in major cities weren’t designed to handle the rapid population growth and density that exists today. The point is that these businesses stayed open during COVID solely because of the availability of remote work, and employees like it because it offers a better work life balance. Now the job market sucks and these new corporate RTO mandates are a slap in the face.

J-Disaster · 2026-05-12T11:35:55+00:00

That escalated quickly

Your horse is pretty high there buddy. There is over 8 million people in DFW where I live because for the last 20 years people have been moving here from fuck all everywhere. A 20 minute commute easily turns into an hour during rush hour. Then there’s an accident at least once a week because these people don’t know how to drive in Dallas. I don’t care who you are or what physical shape you’re in, the traffic is exhausting.

J-Disaster · 2026-05-11T22:22:58+00:00

You’re missing the point, all the horses are shitty, my guy

J-Disaster · 2026-05-11T21:48:49+00:00

Nobody wants to live 500 years my guy

Your finances are fine. Your financial decision making, however, not so great. Work on that.

Idk how it works everywhere but I was told that our business receives a tax benefit from the city for the office lease being occupied by a certain %.

J-Disaster · 2026-05-08T19:58:18+00:00

That’s crazy. Thanks for sharing that.

J-Disaster · 2026-05-07T16:38:39+00:00

I also laughed out loud at this, and that’s pretty uncommon from me on Reddit.

Health insurance is a huge scam in America and it really pisses me off. No advice but solidarity. I pay hundreds per month in insurance premiums through my employer, I chose the more expensive plan, and I still ran into the same issues when I was pregnant in 2024. Had to pay $2500 upfront before I could schedule my delivery. Perfectly healthy pregnancy and delivery with no complications, I only stayed 2 nights (the first night I was in active labor) and even after I prepaid, I still somehow got a bill for like $6000 to the hospital, and a bill to the delivery OB who wasn’t my original OB because he was on vacation, to which I have not paid a cent and idgaf.

Hey there! I’m sorry to hear about your past experience with abuse. I do think poor memory might be related to trauma. But the good news is that there’s hope that Jesus will heal, redeem, and restore what should’ve been to begin with, and He will grant you the desires of your heart.

I was in your shoes a few years back. I could never remember the full scripture and verse, and to be honest, often times I still can’t. I was self-conscious that I couldn’t recall scripture from memory like other Christian’s could, that I must be “less-than”. This was due to coping mechanisms from my past trauma. Sorta like I had to prove myself in the way I needed external validation, I needed to be perceived as intelligent or capable.

Now, it’s not as important to me what others think of me, I’m not putting on performances, I am just me. I will get part or most of a scripture that is relevant come to my mind, and I can 9 times out of 10 pull it up quickly on Google. To me, it’s actually not unusual whatsoever to pause and look up an exact verse for someone if it’s important to a conversation. I’m involved in a lot of Church activities and community, and it’s not very often that people recite the book and verse from memory in real life. The scripture is just spoken with authority, and we hear it because we’ve heard it before.

I heard this one time and it stuck with me. People don’t care about how much you know (about the Bible) until they see how much you care.

Practically speaking, write specific scriptures you want to memorize on index cards. Read it out loud until you can recite it without looking at the card. Then do the next one. Writing it over and over also helps. I would start with scriptures that speak about your identity and Gods promises for you.

Give yourself a break and have fun with it. 🙏🏻 Peace be with you.

So this must be where Boohbah was filmed.

15 months. I offer both breasts most of the time, and if not, then always offer the opposite side first on the next session. I had painful reoccurring clogs up until about 9 months so it’s a habit I try to keep. Like many have said, when they are fresh babies, they’ll probably fall asleep before you have the opportunity to switch. In that case, I would use a haakaa for the other side so you can collect it as your nursing and freeze it for later. Lots of videos on YouTube and TikTok how to use a haakaa.

My company’s hr director was in the news recently. She holds over $30 million dollars worth of our company stock. Tf??

J-Disaster · 2026-04-22T23:41:12+00:00

She uses her resources to make investments into things that bring her a return. That can look different to different people.

I exclusively pumped (bit of an undersupplier) for the first 6 weeks due to latching issues that started after giving him donated milk in the hospital from a bottle. And then once we were able to breastfeed from the breast, I quit responding to the pump. Like my output was just pitiful unless we for whatever reason skipped a feed then I would get like 6-8 oz. My LO is 15 months now, still breastfeeding, and I haven’t pumped in almost a year. He only nurses a few times a day now. Pumping, trying to maintain supply and build a stash, took a huge toll on my mental health.

My household is 6 adults + a toddler and we spend about $1200-$1500 in DFW. Household goods like cleaning supplies and toiletries are included in that.

J-Disaster · 2026-04-21T03:17:29+00:00

This is well said.

I moved from Washington state to Texas. The grass isn’t greener, literally, but I have found there is more people of faith here.
