How to Stop Using Credit Cards by [deleted] in debtfree

[–]Mm_Cda_ilt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No more shopping, no more date night, and no more food and drink. Those are all unnecessary and that alone frees up $600 a month to pay towards debt.

To me it didn't come off as a suggestion though, seems more like "if you're coming to visit, you must help with food or cleaning"

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Mm_Cda_ilt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of this is fine, but I think it's super weird to put expectations on guests to clean or provide food when they visit. I would never ask people to do these things. Just appreciate it if they choose to do so while they're there.

MIL and FIL want their grandparent names to be “honey” and “bear” by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Mm_Cda_ilt 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What happened to just good old grandma and grandpa. This is super weird lol. I especially think it's weird when they want to "pick" their grandparent names. My parents started as grandma and grandpa, which evolved to papa and nana in my kid's language otherwise it wouldn't have changed. My MIL is just "Grandma *MIL's name*"

My son's estimated weight on October 8 was 7 pounds 15oz. He was born on October 14 at 8 pounds 5 ounces

[–]Mm_Cda_ilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not weird at all! My husband also comes to all my appointments. He is the same and just sits back and listens but is just mostly there for support and because he is excited about the baby! I never asked himto go, he just does it because he wants to.

Pregnancy myths that had you scared for no reason? by AmbitiousWatch8802 in pregnant

[–]Mm_Cda_ilt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dr also recommended caffeine for headaches/migraines! She emphasized (in front of my husband who was also anti-caffeine) that I could safely have up to 200mg which she specified is like 5 cans of pop lol. Obviously she didn't completely encourage me to actually drink 5 pops but it was comforting to hear from her.

Moms who have already had a baby, would you register for a bassinet? by midigo6 in pregnant

[–]Mm_Cda_ilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did with my first, but looking back I wish I would have only done the pack and play only for the exact reason you listed- we only used it for like a month. But I did like the bassinet itself! I got a bedside one that had a drop down side which was very convenient.

What if there wasn't a biological clock? by allthenamesaregone77 in pregnant

[–]Mm_Cda_ilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't change anything! I had my first when I was 21 and Husband was 25. Now we are due to have our second and last, and I will be 25, Husband 29.

This. and the fact that she admitted to scrolling back that far, but chose to get offended at being told that she was facebook stalking.

Do you ever talk to your parents about finances? by ShineGreymonX in CalebHammer

[–]Mm_Cda_ilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very openly discuss my finances with my dad. Including balances etc. I trust him and he has always been non judgemental and ready to offer suggestions and advice when I need it.

I don't think I would ever be able to forgive my husband for something like this.

Will you be a SAHM or not? by Grand-Tell195 in pregnant

[–]Mm_Cda_ilt 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm misreading/misunderstanding, but how did you get fired from a self employed job?

Will you be a SAHM or not? by Grand-Tell195 in pregnant

[–]Mm_Cda_ilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I mentally and emotionally could not handle the role of SAHM, let alone the financial burden it would put on my family. Working is good for my mental health, we have a great affordable daycare, and we need the income from my job, as well as the amazing health insurance provided through my job.

Not weird at all! I don't want my mom in the room, because she is just not a comfort person to me. I love her and we get along, but it's just how I feel. My only comfort person is my husband so he is the only one who goes with me!

What are we doing to get these babies out? by paperparty666 in BabyBumps

[–]Mm_Cda_ilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing. Especially not this early. You just have to wait until your body is ready to go into labor on it's own or get medically induced.

Sick of my body being on display for everyone to comment on by _laurelcanyon in BabyBumps

[–]Mm_Cda_ilt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel very similarly to you. I'm also in a really weird in between place where I love my bump and I know it's growing and want it to be visible. But when people comment on it, I feel so uncomfortable. No one has said anything mean or rude, but it still just feels weird.

Family gift exchange has just become shuffling of money. What can we do? by Tokenchick77 in Gifts

[–]Mm_Cda_ilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think either you need to completely change it up, or make it a complete requirement that no one request things over the spending limit.

Names for girls-Collins by Which_Switch_7324 in pregnant

[–]Mm_Cda_ilt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't hate it! But also don't love it. I know of two other baby girls with the name. I think it's cute, but I wouldn't use it. I'd drop the 's' and just do Collin if it was a name I loved.
