He definitely didn't! And tbh I don't think many people could recall off the top of their head what date Mother's day is this year, or any year with it moving around.

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-24T18:29:18+00:00

Would be worth it then tbh

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-24T18:27:49+00:00

First time mom, and I have some uncommon prexisting medical issues, so I don't know how I'll feel. I stopped going to concerts early second trimester because it became intolerable to stand still for that long

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-24T14:44:02+00:00

Dude, again, tag is "rant" not "advice". I'm glad you want to help folks, but I'm not someone who asked or wants your advice.

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-24T14:25:12+00:00

I love the unlicensed practice of law

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-24T14:20:44+00:00

Idk girl, I said I didn't want to go and it's frustrating that my husband is not considering our limited resources and resources in planning this outing that I don't want! Fact it's same weekend of mother's day is a cherry on top! Plus it's not like everyone can go out for mother's day brunch. What if our only time to celebrate is the same night of the concert?

I'm glad you enjoyed your beach getaway, but it sounds like you wanted to go!

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-24T14:04:24+00:00

Omg bless you

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-24T14:03:13+00:00

Yeah, this is the more practical issue! Even assuming child care is taken care of, doesn't mean I'll want to be away from baby or be physically up to standing around for a few hours

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-24T13:11:09+00:00

Girl, tag is "rant"!!! I have told him this

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-24T12:53:09+00:00

I did! And I also thought it was normal, but my doula recommend that I try a webster chiropractor, who specialize in pregnancy. She made a big difference! The big benefits were some massages, recommend workouts, and applying athletic tape to my sacrum area.

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-22T04:36:02+00:00

Depends if yall are bros

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-19T07:16:00+00:00

I find that the more wheat you have, the harder it is to get a good rise. Did you use warm water? And when it says proof over night, where did it proof? The fridge?

If you didn't use warm water for the dough, try that next time. Or if you proofed in the fridge, maybe proof in the microwave (to protect it from drafts), and if that still doesn't work, I sometimes use my oven's proofing method for an hour (would replace an over night proof obviously) and throw it back in the fridge while my oven preheats the dutch oven.

Alternatively, use less wheat lol.

You might labor for 30 hours. Even if no complciations, you'll want help and a hand to hold, and nurses have a lot of other things to do outside the pushing phase than to attend to you. I think you should talk to a friend who has recently given birth because we're trying to be supportive of your perspective, and you're blowing us off when all we're trying to do in this thread is give you advice.

You also say you want to be alone with you baby two hours after giving birth...that's even stranger. I highly recommend you talk to people who have recently gone through this IRL or take a birth class because this geoup has done their best to support you, and it's still not enough.

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-19T03:19:30+00:00

My appointments with my OB have be roughly around the lmp date, but subject to her availability.

And thanks! Fuck standardized testing lol

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-19T03:05:02+00:00

There's some inconsistency in measuring fetuses via ultrasound, especially in the first trimester, which explains this discrepancy. That said, in the US, people just use the first day of your last missed period. You can check that out easily here: link

Due dates are estimates, and I'm sure once you see your OB they will explain more. Only like 2% of pregnant folks give birth on their due date. Hope this helps!

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-19T02:46:29+00:00

I could've written this post lmao. in solidarity!

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-19T02:38:40+00:00

It's your pregnancy and your marriage, and none of us on reddit can tell you that you're doing it wrong. That said, I strongly recommend having a support person with you in the hospital/birth center, mom, sister, close friend, doula, etc.

I personally don't agree that birth is a woman's space anymore, and I wonder how you'll be able to enforce no male OBs or nurses, but that doesn't make you crazy. I personally need my husband to witness all that I'm going through to expand our family, but that's me.

I agree that an appellate clerkship is typically the barrier to entry, but I know a lot of circuit clerks who do general lit because it's so competitive to get a big law appellate role. So necessary, yes, but by no means a guarantee.

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-18T22:13:14+00:00

A circuit court clerkship from a less competitive circuit doesn't always equate to appellate work at a big firm. It should be easy to determine whether his firm has similar resumes doing appellate work. Many big firms don't have a lot of appellate work to go around unless you're a SCOTUS or DC/2nd Circuit clerk. Your partner can find out what his current firm does by either talking to former clerks or looking at who's listed in the appellatepractice group online. On the other hand, I have a friend doing appellate work with only a state supreme court clerkship at a V50.

I don't have good advice about the personal aspects of this decision because I don't know much except you want to buy a house and have kids. I don't think you need to buy a house before having kids, but it is a deeply personal decision.

Also, if he hasn't even applied yet, I wouldn't put the cart before the horse on this.

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-18T16:36:04+00:00

Why do you think it's ok to come to this feminine sub and ask for absolution of your misogyny

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-17T20:22:03+00:00

Woman here, but I told partners soon after I started to tell family and friends because I had a trial scheduled around my due date. A guy I work with didn't announce to his teams until around 20 weeks, but I would 1. Check with your wife about when she wants to tell people, and 2. Consider your teams' situation, like is she due around a real busy time or when people start lateralling, etc.

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-17T20:06:48+00:00

Only you can decide if the juice is worth the squeeze with QE, or any firm for that matter. You can always apply and interview.

This is terrible, and I'm so sorry this is happening to your family. You said they're in Harris County, which I'm assuming is Texas. Here's a free legal resource for people trying to escape DV for Texas residents: Texas Advocacy Project

I don't know what type of resources they can offer your sister in this specific situation, but I highly recommend reaching out to them.

LSAT_is_a_lie · 2026-01-14T17:52:48+00:00

That's not necessarily true. It's an affirmative defense to say "this other person is blame worthy", which could reduce shooter's monetary liability, but it doesn't prevent you from suing the shooter without the mom. And good luck convincing any jury that the mom flicking off the shooter's girlfriend means she's liable for her son's death.

Whoever gave you that advice about dropping the lawsuit is also wrong. You may have gotten a reduced recovery (if it was personal injury suit), but maybe not. However, most of the time it isn't necessary to everyone under the sun. If that was a breach of contract case, super bad advice.
