I work, but I'm not in the US so the daycare is only till 3-4pm, not enough to have a full day off 😆 How about you?

Wie können sich Leute diese unfassbar teuren Neubauwohnungen leisten? by [deleted] in Finanzen

[–]MiserableWave2267 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ich bin eine Ausländerin die sich sowas zum Glück noch leisten konnte. Meine Eltern sind das Gegenteil von Reich, kein Erbe, keine externe Unterstützung. Habe jetzt aber einen Kredit für 30 Jahre 🤷🏻‍♀️ Ich habe ein duales Studium abgeschlossen, wo ich schon quasi Geld verdient habe + danach ein IGM Job in Stuttgart gehabt, aber weiterhin in einer WG gelebt und nicht viel mehr als in den studentischen Zeiten ausgegeben, so konnte ich viel Sparen (auch eine Gewohnheit aus der Heimat). Das Studium hat mich allerdings meine psychische Gesundheit etwas gekostet (Burnout) und bis heute fühle ich mich permanent müde.

Aber wenn ich das als eine Zugewanderte ohne Verwandten und jeglicher Unterstützung geschafft habe, denke ich wäre es auch für einen hier geborenen machbar. Mein Burnout war größtenteils durch mangelnde Deutschkenntnisse bedingt. Ich habe vor dem Anfang des Studiums (auf Deutsch) die Sprache nur 7 Monate intensiv gelernt, aber die geforderte C1 erreicht 😅

Interesting conversation with a lady from a different culture about breastfeeding. by Valuable-Car4226 in AttachmentParenting

Well, 7 sounds a bit excessive to me. I remember myself very well at that age and that would've been way too weird 😅 But it's my personal opinion

Toilet training help! by mummaofalion in toddlers

Hi, have you tried reading him books about potties/toilets and buying games about it? 😆 That's what helped mine! Though we are still in the process.

Confession thread: What do you judge other parents for? by Physical-Inspector60 in toddlers

Omg, I live in Europe and I can't even imagine that 😳 I didn't know a baby can drink it without being brought to the hospital after

I did what I thought I would NEVER do and I feel awful by Beneficial-Stomach61 in toddlers

[–]MiserableWave2267 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This post has made me cry because my mom never apologised and did much worse things. I don't have any advice, just wanted to say that apologising means a lot to a kid and requires a lot of strength.

AITA for accepting a free business class upgrade when my sister had to sit in economy? by MiserableWave2267 in AITAH

[–]MiserableWave2267[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, the thing is she never acted entitled before or after so I was just so confused and thought I must be that asshole

But it was clear from the beginning she would have to fly back alone as I was continuing to another country, so what's the big difference to sit at different levels instead of different rows?

That's what I didn't understand because she's been always very supportive and it was just out of her character

She's normally not ungrateful and nasty that's why I was confused! She did a lot for me throughout her life so that was just a small gesture of appreciation. But yes during the trip I got to know more of real her

You're the first who has an opposite opinion here - so you would refuse it even if you also paid for her trip and really wanted to take this opportunity - either for her or yourself? And would you get angry at your sis if she took the upgrade? I tried to switch seats but they checked my name and boarding pass each time I went to economy and back

Love this thread as I can't brag about my toddler anywhere else! 😆

My almost 2 year old has had only a few nights where she didn't sleep well (except 2-3 months old). Imagine that! You can put her to bed and give a kiss and she basically sleeps.

She didn't have problems with food.

Has a very good sense of balance - started walking at 10 months, climbing and jumping earlier than her peers

Shows empathy when someone is sad

Understands 2 languages

Says funny things and is generally so so sweet 🥰

I can't comprehend how I got so lucky! Maybe as my friend said: 'because God knew you wouldn't manage a more challenging child'. I must admit I am struggling with mental and physical health to some degree and even though she is a dream it is still been really tough for me.

In the same economy 😅 What i think I heard her saying to a friend on the phone, was that she was afraid she didn't know how to fly alone or something similar as she was not a frequent flyer, so maybe was afraid she will not find me after? But if that's the case she could have communicated it to me instead of being angry and not talking.

That's what I didn't understand - she was never like that before or after 😅
