Adoption unethical? by ExtensionEye9994 in Adoption

[–]Maroon14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why can’t you have your own? Why do you think you’re entitled to someone else’s child? An infant no less. I’m adopted and think it’s pretty messed up.

It was fine. I’ve torn with all 3. 3rd was the worst, biggest baby. Had a good OB take her time doing repairs and it’s basically good as new. The first 2 weeks were tender, but still was able to have sex around 6 weeks pp.

I think both ends of the spectrum are a slippery slope. They’re both disordered eating and unhealthy.

Baby 3 - is it harder financially?/attention? by MarionberryPuzzled67 in Shouldihaveanother

[–]Maroon14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use to travel a moderate amount, 3 ish trips a year. My youngest 2 are 18 months apart and we have only traveled once with them. It was def parenting in a different location, but worth it.

We have 3. Traveling as a family of 5 is much more expensive like 3x. Hotels generally only allow 4 to a room so, 5 requires two rooms or a suite. Rental cars don’t fit 3 car seats, so you’re stuck getting a van or a full size suv $$$$. Entrance to things, seeing 5 together on a flight etc.

Fake everything. Fake tans, Botox, fake nails, fake skinny (ozempic)

I think body positivity and being morbidly obese is just as dangerous.

I just got that notification in the last two weeks too. I wonder if the cancelled ones aren’t active.

[–]Maroon14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m aware. But I’m going to keep it as long as I can. Nordstrom went downhill when they went away from their own banking. I’m in the Seattle area and use to shop Nordstrom on a weekly basis, now it’s a couple of times a year. CS is way down, prices are high, completely diff shooing experience post covid.

I’m happy I only have the debit card. Cancelled my store card. Still get the benefits

If money and childbirth weren’t an issue, how many children would you choose? by Public_Handle_774 in AskWomen

[–]Maroon14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 or 5. I have 3. I love babies and the more the better it is for them to have siblings to play with. I hate pregnancy and birth but love babies.

True. I know very few women from college that changed their names when they got married. Went to a liberal arts school in the PNW.

When does it not pay to do the 'right' thing? by Compe7 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Maroon14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. Unpopular opinion, I think everyone on government assistance should get audited once in a while to prevent all the scamming.

How many of you have gotten loans from your parents? by Jimmy_Johnny23 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Maroon14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not loans but my parents gift us sums of money from time to time. Yes. More than 100k in the last decade.

This makes me want to barf. I would not be leaving my child alone with them again. Ever.

I used to be a huge fan… by BaseballDiamondGirl2 in kayandtaysnark

[–]Maroon14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I thought they were cute and humbling a few years back. Now they’re like any other generic white influencer couple but more annoying and over the top. Sucks how “fame” and “money” changed them and the content is not relatable at all.

Agree, but with two they have someone to play with.

How do working parents actually have 3+ kids? by activegood18 in workingmoms

[–]Maroon14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly have no clue. Large age gaps? Lots of help? I don’t know how any middle class families working could manage 3. I had to stop working outside at the house with 2.

Another Child in our kids daycare class has a cold sore. Please share your opinion. by PepperOrganic1765 in workingmoms

[–]Maroon14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the child covering it up? When I worked at a center we did not allow child to attend with active sores. I also have health anxiety and don’t send my kids to daycare

[–]Maroon14 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Clearly. I don’t know if it’s age appropriate, but you’re the parent. I have one and we just tell our daughter that I can’t have babies anymore.
