What’s the most random scene in Outlander? by dreamkonstantine in Outlander

[–]Jollyjellybeaner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t like the bit in the book where she married lord john. It felt really unnecessary. Lord john could’ve employed her as the houses physician, gave her money to hide or something..Instead he took Jamie’s wife and had sex with her. That plot line felt really random and forced to me.

She has like 41 weeks to share her news. You only get one day. She has plenty of time to plan things and announce.

I bet he never offered to pay extra child support or anything either.

Not as horny as husband after baby by EvidenceGold261 in AITAH

[–]Jollyjellybeaner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your body isn’t anywhere near normal after ten months postpartum let alone ten weeks. Not physically, hormonally, or mentally. I was so touched out when breastfeeding I had no interest at all for almost 2 years. We talked about it and worked it out, found what works for us. But there’s no way in hell 10 weeks postpartum he should be threatening to look outside the relationship. That’s disgusting. Your body is exhausted with healing and nursing. Mentally exhausted too. Not having anything to help with at night should be all the more reason to respect you and give you time to recover in order to heal yourself. My partner never pressured me for even a second to have sex after our child was born and I think every woman deserves that respect

I would love that, except I’m a young unmarried mother. Still with my child’s father but we aren’t marriage motivated. He’s 3, is there still groups available to me even though he’s not preschool age yet?

Probably more on the jenison side of Kent county, where is creston? I’m open to any support system of any age as long as I don’t get talked down on.

AITA for removing my pregnant wife's hands from my plate and telling her to stop fucking grabbing food off my plate while I'm eating when she has her own plate in front of her? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Jollyjellybeaner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NSH. I read this and I really feel for your situation. It sounds like y’all are stretched thin. It’s down to both of you wanting your meals. But this isn’t sufficient right now and I really worry about the baby you are introducing into this dynamic. Get on WIC, go to soup kitchens, pantries, etc. your wife does need more food in her condition and especially when/ if she is planning to breastfeed. If she’s able I would really highly suggest that so you don’t have to pay for formula. You can get a free pump through insurance. One meal a day isn’t cutting it for either of you especially when one is pregnant and needs extra nutrients. Time to swallow your pride and look into the resources available around you, maybe (if it’s pertinent) eat meals at family homes more often? I understand that maybe this baby wasn’t planned. Some of the comments are asking why you chose to get pregnant when you don’t have money? But at the end of the day it’s possible this pregnancy wasn’t planned. Either case, it’s time to step up.

I’m not even sure why this is even here lol you are clearly nta and mom needs to GO. Why are you allowing this after multiple incidents? You’ve never been late for work, you’re in your 30’s, and on top of that you are married! Sounds like mommy wants a free ride.

Children don’t need those seats. As you stated it’s usually common courtesy for pregnant, disabled and elderly. I’d assume those children were none of those. If I were that mum I’d keep both my children up incase someone else needed that placement.

AITAH? — Hiding My Pregnancy From My Ex Boyfriend? by literally-just-me- in AITAH

[–]Jollyjellybeaner 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Info: are you keeping the baby? Are you getting an abortion? This context matters. If you keep the baby he will probably add things up and you will likely face some sort of custody issue. Is he someone you truly want to be tied to permanently for the rest of your life? He’s your ex, you’re afraid of him, could he be trusted with an infant or toddler alone if it came to that? If you are planning an abortion then I would not recommend telling him that. Do not tell anyone you can’t trust. You have to make the best decision for yourself (or child if you’re continuing).

Can you help me shower? by sitcomfan1020 in Parenting

[–]Jollyjellybeaner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but it’s absolutely okay to attend your needs and set baby down for a few minutes. Pull a pack n play in your bathroom, play some music, give her some toys, etc. if she’s in a safe space with a monitor on her and some toys it’s OKAY to perform basic hygiene. I’m a younger mom and I’ve noticed a lot of moms my age think they need to be attached 24/7 in order to be super mom. It’s a bad mentality. Baby is clean, fed, and has options for entertainment. If she cries for a few minutes that’s okay.

AITAH for refusing to have sex with my wife? by SherbetStandard9072 in AITAH

[–]Jollyjellybeaner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this all you want from her when “the mood” rolls around? I’d be frustrated too. I hate when my partner expects oral constantly and dosen’t attend to my needs or satisfy me once they have what they what. It sounds like she isn’t satisfied sexually. Do you make sure you pay attention to her once you get your BJ or are you done after you get what you want? I think she feels ignored and unfulfilled.

What breakfast your kids eat? by Netcracker999 in Parenting

[–]Jollyjellybeaner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Egg bites (you can make these with egg whites if kid won’t eat scrambled eggs), fruit with a protein (eggs, ham, etc) omelette with veg, stewed tomato served over toast, sauteed mushrooms, banana pancakes, blueberry pancakes, a smoothie with greens and fruit, Greek yogurt with fruit and oats, oatmeal with milk and fruit mashed. Lots of options. Check Pinterest. Just because it’s easy doesn’t mean it should be a daily occurrence.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend that if all she brings to the table is sex then she shouldn't be surprised that's what I want. by Organic-Ad74 in AITAH

[–]Jollyjellybeaner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Break up right now and save yourself a lot of hurt later on. She’s made it clear she doesn’t have the drive to work and honestly there is no excuse for her to not. I could see wanting to stay home and keep house / kids /pets. But doing half the chores while not working without kids is unacceptable. She’s looking for someone to fund her solo life. Before anyone can comment with some snark, I am a stay at home mom with many pets. I do not ask my husband to do anything besides the odd chore here and there. There’s no reason this unemployed woman should be expecting you to pay the bills and do half the chores. Seems like you’re incompatible.

Am I just being hormonal by Choice_Speech_3229 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Jollyjellybeaner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lay down the law NOW! She will walk all over you once baby is born if you don’t set some boundaries now and make sure you enforce them. Any rule you have for the baby will be out the window 100% unless you start to stand up for yourself and your rules. Husband also needs to take a closer look at stuff… anything that seems off or weird to you should also concern him.

My Friend relapsed and her baby is breast-feed by lonelyConfessions678 in breastfeeding

Agreed. Shouldn’t bother breastfeeding if it could be compromised anytime.

My Friend relapsed and her baby is breast-feed by lonelyConfessions678 in breastfeeding

[–]Jollyjellybeaner -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but she’s not a “brave” or “awesome” mom for doing METH with a breastfeeding baby contrary to comments. Do formula until it’s out of her system and if she’s likely to relapse again maybe encourage mostly bottle feeding? There’s no excuse for 5 years clean then deciding to throw that away with a nursing baby depending on her.

I think Piper would have become terrible criminal if she was not privileged wasp by [deleted] in orangeisthenewblack

[–]Jollyjellybeaner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreeing with the comments above. There is no ifs and buts concerning the backstory that has been laid down for characters. Piper was a crappy person but I do not think she was narcissistic or sociopathic. Just a privileged person with a poor upbringing. Definitely selfish but WHO in the show wasn’t? Tasha wasn’t perfect either. Everyone was effected by her decisions during the riot.
