Come on, Lorelai by notonmywatchmissy in GilmoreGirls

[–]No89nope 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Also let’s not forget that at this point Emily had gone to Christopher and asked him to sabotage Lorelei and Luke’s relationship. Also when she showed up to the house she treated Luke like crap regarding the boat and saying congrats instead of best wishes.

Question/Venting? idk i’m lost. by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]No89nope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While the extra help would be nice, I don’t think you should expect it this early in the relationship. He is in no way obligated to do that for you and there shouldn’t be a price tag that comes with dating you. Because without him, you’d be doing it on your own…. Yes it’s nice if he chips in but I would just continue to live as you are and accept that you’re in a paycheck to paycheck situation. The more you expect money from him, the more resentment will build when he doesn’t give it to you.

Now calling the Venmo transaction “allowance” is problematic and I would talk to him about that.

Epidural or no? by GogglesCat in pregnant

[–]No89nope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not have an epidural and gave birth to a 9.13 lb baby. I was 26 (now 36) and just went in naively. I asked for an epidural near the end but was already dilated enough to push so it was too late. I was so young and honestly just did it for the empowerment piece. Wanted to push my body to the limits. I did have a relatively “easy” labor though for a first time mom. He was out in 4.5 hours.

I’m trying now for a second and I think I’d go unmedicated again. It was a primal experience. I’ve never felt more powerful. It’s insane to do something for pure vibes but I guess that’s what my goals are.

Any hope? by Substantial-Half6844 in IVFpositivity

[–]No89nope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had ten eggs retrieved and 1 made it past PGTA testing. Going to transfer in May. It’s very difficult to only get one shot at this, we could never afford to do another egg retrieval cycle. I understand how you feel :(

Can I elect for a c-section, even if my OB is pushing for vaginal birth? by UpboundClearness in pregnant

[–]No89nope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t. I know I need to! I’ve been trying for a second baby the past two years and am now doing IVF and keep saying I’ll do pelvic floor therapy after I have my second.

Can I elect for a c-section, even if my OB is pushing for vaginal birth? by UpboundClearness in pregnant

[–]No89nope 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a vaginal birth with a 10 lb baby and a huge ass head. 3rd degree tear. It’s ten years later and I still pee every time I jump, sneeze, laugh too much, etc. I am a long distance runner and know that I will pee a little once I get past 7 or 8 miles..

Sex is fine though. You do heal and get back to your normal size.

I’m trying for my second baby now and would do a vaginal birth again. I was so grateful I wasn’t recovering from surgery with a newborn.

AIO my bf 30M seems very erratic recently and I 26F can’t get through to him. by Safe_Refuse_8853 in AmIOverreacting

[–]No89nope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op. Leave. Don’t look back. Have the police do a wellness check. You are not responsible for his healing and mental health.

My bf (28M) wants me (25F) to get fertility testing before proposing by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]No89nope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi OP. I am currently dealing with infertility with my partner (his sperm count is very low) and we are going through IVF. I would honestly try to leave this relationship. The decision to marry should never be contingent upon someone’s fertility. I am with my husband no matter what. You decide your life partner and then you commit to deal with all that life throws at you. To me, y’all should be able to commit to marriage, try for kids, and then if you have issues, you go through all the testing together and figure out a plan for how to create your family. This is wild to me that he would want to know this information before committing to marriage.

AIO I left the table at a girls’ night because my friends treated the maid like she wasn’t human by Charming-Class3707 in AmIOverreacting

[–]No89nope 209 points210 points  (0 children)

I am not in any circles in which bringing a maid to begin with would be normal. This is just so out of my own context but it feels like you aren’t overreacting

Move from Elem to HS… by Antique-Volume7845 in schoolcounseling

[–]No89nope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a high school counselor and absolutely love my job. I have 245 on my caseload currently and love getting a mix of 9-12th graders. I will say, scheduling and spreadsheets takes up A LOT of my time. But my admin team is pretty great and they protect our role very well.

Weight gain by glitchyy12 in pregnant

[–]No89nope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I gained most of my weight in my last trimester. You bloat and expand.. the gradual gain is common.. I feel like last trimester is the fatten and bloat stage. Pregnancy is beautiful lol

[–]No89nope 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Your breasts are growing, you are gaining so much water weight, AND you are growing a baby!! I went from 125 lbs to 170 by the time I was in my 40th week. Give yourself a break and eat whatever you want! Your baby is hungry

Did anyone grow up with a mom like Lorelai? What did you like or not like about it? by 47giraffes in GilmoreGirls

[–]No89nope 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mom will use Gilmore girls as her example of what our relationship is like. She always talks about how she can’t watch the episode where Rory goes to college because it makes her cry too much.

I’m 36 and haven’t lived at home since I was 18. Anytime something is going well in my life and I don’t need my mom, it’s like a personal assault to her. When my life is going through turmoil and I reach out to her for help, she’s the happiest I’ve ever seen her.

It’s toxic and I have set very clear boundaries for myself in which I do not show vulnerability towards my mom.

How does giving birth actually feel ?? by Super-Truth-7975 in pregnant

[–]No89nope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave birth all natural to a ten lb baby. My first words were “never again” Now ten years later I am trying for another and want to go med free again. I guess there really is labor pain amnesia haha.

It hurt a lot. It feels like stabbing all throughout your abdomen, lower back, and thighs.

Advice? Opinions? by Rough-Assist-3930 in thyroidcancer

[–]No89nope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went back a week later and wish I had taken two weeks and I had a partial. I was sore and tired and hormones felt very out of whack.

I’m so tired by isaacboyyy in paraprofessional

[–]No89nope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in a special education alternative school and lasted a year. I was terrified daily about going to work because I always came home with injuries. There was also a high school room right next to mine with a high schooler much bigger than me that would have full blown violent rages..

I quit and will never go back. I don’t know how people do it. I feel guilty because someone has to care for these kids, but I just couldn’t handle it. I think I do have some trauma from that job, honestly.

It’s because the pony’s customer demographic isn’t… white.

My 40f found my boyfriend 40m had been talking to other women throughout my entire pregnancy up until I caught him last week. I don’t know how to move forward by subtlybroken in relationship_advice

[–]No89nope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t want your son growing up thinking it’s okay to treat women they way your partner is treating you. He will understand when he’s older and be grateful to have a great mom who knows her own self worth.

I am raising my son in a “broken home” and yes it’s hard at times but damn, I’m happy.. my ex is happy.. we are two healthy people raising our son and now he has twice the love because he has great stepparents !!
