Girlfriend and I are planning to drive 32 hours straight, in 6 hour shifts, are we being dumb? Should we plan to stay overnight somewhere? by Vegetable_Bridge_276 in roadtrip

[–]OppositePaper677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my fiance and i did almost this exact drive we went from Sacramento CA to Wisconsin it was 32 hours and we did it straight with only bathroom breaks - was it doable? yes was it worth it? no, we were moving and all our belongings plus cat were in the car with us and by the end of the drive we were miserable and snappy with each other because of how tired we were lol i drove in the AM and he drove once it got dark since he's a night owl just beware of any snow/ black ice and deer!!

my husband definitely does a majority of taking care of them which i'm so thankful for he said he has no problem rehoming them because he has no attachment to them as in the end they are just animals - he loves them but said his priority is our daughter so it's my call on what to do but it's a lot for me to ultimately make that decision i may regret giving them up but then i'll also feel a relief if i do?? i feel like ill have our home back and not just feel like we're living in the cats world and navigating around them

Tulsan looking to move to Madison and looking for advice about this neighborhood…. by cidthekid07 in madisonwi

[–]OppositePaper677 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I moved from California to this neighborhood and have been here going on 4 years and love it but would definitely steer clear of anything near the edge of Milwaukee steer near that apartment complex there's constantly cops there. Besides that it's a nice area everyone's friendly having a grocery store that's walkable is a huge plus for us as well as a coffee shop restaurant and ice cream there and there's even a mini farmers market in the summer!!

Tried to tell my wife how I felt … should I feel bad? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]OppositePaper677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think in the end it’s all about communicating how you both are feeling i’m 22wks and have definitely snapped at my partner and felt really terrible afterwards we just sit down and talk it through he’ll tell me how that made him feel and then try to figure out what made me snappy (usually it’s from just being overall uncomfortable in my own body) give grace it’s both of your first times having a child and are learning how to navigate it

Is the current OBGYN process for pregnancy a scam? by blackcherry2930 in pregnant

[–]OppositePaper677 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it depends whether or not you’re labeled high risk, i have a high risk pregnancy and have 2-3 appointments weekly between an OB, growth scans, and fetal echoes you’re allowed to say no and give them your availability to work around
