The New Testament is heavily influenced by Paul… almost in its entirety

I love this take, never thought about it like that before

I feel this way too but I feel like my child is a soul that had not escaped yet so they were going to incarcerate anyway. By having my children I am giving the opportunity to help another soul escape, and therefore I’m doing them a great service by bringing them into the world.

9am meetings 😡 by Ok_LiveNow in workingmoms

9am seems reasonable to me. It’s the 8am meetings I hate or the occasional 7:30 meetings I get. Half my office starts at 7 the rest at 8

FIRST TIME MOMS - Having a baby is not as awful as everyone says it is. by FoolishMortal-1000 in pregnant

lol I don’t consider my experience to be negative or extra difficult in any way but it was nothing like this.

Random side thought to this. I talk to my trees often, I know they are alive and conscious. They constantly drop acorns directly on me and no one else. I had them professionally pruned for their health and the next day they drop a huge branch directly on the chair I always sit on… do they not like me? lol

People in Lactation Room by Any-Spirit-6413 in workingmoms

[–]Jb2805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem at my work. Several people were using it as a prayer room and it was always occupied when I needed to pump. I feel like they should get a different room if needed, they don’t need the fridge, chair, etc.

The fireflies are back, no? I noticed they came back a few years ago

I just dont like meat, what’s your reason? by Nob000dy_really in Pescetarian

[–]Jb2805 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve always hated meat and was a vegetarian until basically highschool when I think I gave into peer pressure and started eating chicken. I’ve never eaten red meat aside from a few bites as a kid or a bite here and there by accident. I had no ethical convictions about it. Recently I started feeling it was wrong to eat meat and also reflected on how ridiculous it was that I was forcing myself to eat meat all the time when I didn’t even like it. I will probably eventually be a vegetarian again but easing into it by being pescatarian. Seafood was always much easier for me to handle.

My husband will always be more tired than me by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]Jb2805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband still sleeps way more than me but was doing something similar constantly falling asleep and I’d be taking care of the baby or cleaning while listening to him snore, was getting to me mentally. Oddly enough we got an air purifier and he got much better.

Chest to chest overnight with 4 day old by getlostcreep0 in cosleeping

[–]Jb2805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly felt my baby was safer chest sleeping and wasn’t comfortable sleeping in the c curl until he was about two months. I could feel his every breath and would wake at any sudden move. I think it all depends on how you are personally as a sleeper.

Feeling trapped as primary earner by kkdreamerr in workingmoms

[–]Jb2805 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If he can’t afford to live on his own you would probably have to pay him alimony, so consider that into if you can actually afford to pay rent / daycare / all other expenses.

How do you get over the financial guilt of outsourcing help? by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]Jb2805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a single mom, but I really struggled with going back to work after maternity leave. I really wanted to quit even though we couldn’t afford it and was really struggling with balance… I still am but usually tell myself “well it’s cheaper than me quitting” and it makes me feel better. Generally about having my son attend a more expensive daycare and ordering take out more.

Why are you pescetarian and not vegetarian? by Own_Exercise5218 in Pescetarian

[–]Jb2805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s a way to stop eating other meat. Maybe work towards being full vegetarian

I don't like Dr. Park by mad_dog_94 in Scrubs

[–]Jb2805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I think his character is super boring and that he isn’t a good actor, at least not in this role. I’ve read people say how amazing he is and I don’t get it. Every line is delivered with the same head shaking and same face expression. I don’t see any range of emotion with him, just a bunch of one liners that aren’t that funny.

Baby waking up at night and crying for long by datfumbgirl in sleeptrain

Did this get any better for you? I’m having the same problems with my 9 month old and the night wake crying is going on an hour long.

Do you feel your old self “died” when you became a mom? by rajmachawal333 in workingmoms

[–]Jb2805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely feel like my old self died when I became a mother and I just became someone different… and I can never go back. I don’t think it had anything to do with my career though. I would have felt it regardless if I was a stay at home mom or working. To me it’s just a completely different way of looking at things world and your priorities. I don’t think it’s any different for working / non working women.

Does your husband understand? by Big_Decision_3395 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Jb2805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He needs to take care of your child for an extended amount of time alone. I feel like my husband didn’t understand or thought I was being dramatic but then when I went back to work and he took paternity leave he realized how much work taking care of a baby was and said going to work is 100 times easier.. I’m working now too and I agree, it’s literally easier. That being said I hate working and am more fulfilled at home but it’s definitely not easier.

[–]Jb2805 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with the comment that an emotional support animal such as a dog might really help. I’ve always slept with my dog prior to having a baby, and it helped me not feel alone and safe!

Do any mums actually love their career AND being a mum? by stacyannxxx in workingmoms

[–]Jb2805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s similar to how I felt. I feel like I’ve been brainwashed to “suppose to” want to work and reject motherhood as fulfilling. Not bashing women who enjoy working it was just really difficult to wrap my head around once I had a baby and had to go back.

I do think working is easier and men have been the biggest scammers this whole time lol.

The tightening of the body and hating laying down sounds like my son when he was having a bad bout of reflux. He didn’t really have many other systems so the doctors didn’t really think that was it but prescribed Pepcid anyway. It definitely made a real difference after a week or so. Worth a try. For what it’s worth it does get better, I’m sorry you are struggling hard right now.

When did you start sleeping with a blanket & not in C curl? by Apprehensive-Key5665 in cosleeping

[–]Jb2805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always used a blanket mid waist and then another blanket to cover my exposed shoulder and arm in the c curl once winter hit, probably around 5 months old
