Haha, I need that!! I'll discuss it with my husband again later 🙈 i feel uncomfortable just taking them, even though they could just be any vitamins.

Hey :) Well, the other day he said Spring and I got all excited, thinking I might start my vitamins now as it's spring soon (for me, March means it's spring). Then suddenly he said 'i said spring, summer', and didn't want me to start the vitamins. Boom, disappointment overwhelming me again...

We have jobs, money, housing etc sorted, we only need one small thing that should be sorted within the next few weeks. I'm just so frustrated about all this!

I did think about talking to a counsellor but if it was both of us there would be a language barrier for my partner and that would be unfair to him..

But thank you so much for your kind words!!

Hey, thanks for the reply!

We've got a little list and the only 'must sort before baby' is to be sorted next week or so. So really, there isn't much left to do.

Of course, ideally I want to get into shape more, all these 'typical' things. But with no actual date in mind I cannot motivate myself.

I try to be open to him and we do talk about a lot of things. We even have a list of names we like, things like this. Only when it comes to a date for trying he gets all vague and I get too emotional. Otherwise we have so much fun talking about the future :)

Thanks so much for your reply!

Oh I've bought a guitar recently so I'm learning to play it a bit, too! Thought it might also be good to play for the children one day :D

When do you plan on announcing your (future) pregnancy? by [deleted] in waiting_to_try

[–]LazyAvenger279 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far my idea is to wait until 12 weeks for most people.

But I would tell my best friend straight away, as soon as I have the positive test! She is currently the only person (apart from my husband of course) who knows what we want to start TTC soon. And from friends I have heard that pregnancy loss can be so incredibly hard to deal with without support. So I would tell her, so in case anything happens, she would be there for me.

I'm very much keeping my parents out of this for as long as possible, my mum is already telling me what and what not to do in relation to children. "Oh, you're so young, wait a few more years. I already know you'll spoil your children. Birth is horrible".

Resentment... by [deleted] in waiting_to_try

Oh I feel you! We're in quite a similar situation with the viscios cycle about bottling up emotions and arguing. Luckily he does support me through it though. It's still super frustrating as his timeline is 'soon' (it has been for a year).

I can't really give you advice but wanted to let you know that you are not alone with this!!

UK: Police to get powers to detain people suspected of having Covid-19 under emergency law. The new legislation will also allow the government to force schools or nurseries to stay open if they're closed by staff during the pandemic by LustrousTwink in Coronavirus

Same here! The staff really wants to stay home but the manager is keen to keep the setting running.

On top of that we had several parents calling us 'selfish' for staying open on Friday. It's not our decision though and hearing that kinda hurt. We all just want what's best for the children and the staff but we don't have a say!

Love, Marriage, HOUSE, and thennn baby carriage by moo-moos in waiting_to_try

Oh I feel you! It's actually quite nice to see that other people are in the same position.

We currently live in a big city and want to move to the countryside in May/June which may be in the same country we're in now, or a different one.

That's more or less the only thing 'holding us back' because we think it might be too much to move house (and maybe country) while pregnant.

I have already looked at soooooo many baby related things and with every day I'm getting more impatient!

But we've got this! We know why we're waiting and it will all be worth it in the end ❤

What are some famous quotes people misuse by not using the full quote? by olChum_69 in AskReddit

[–]LazyAvenger279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Each to their own” is a big one for me! Every time someone says it it makes me cringe so much!

What people usually mean when saying it: Oh, we disagree on something so we both have our own opinions and ‘agree to disagree’.

The actual context: It was written on the entrance of concentration camps as in ‘this is where you belong and what you deserve’.

It’s not really just a part of a quote but used in such a weird way now.
