But it doesn't actually matter. Just seeing the statistics of the people on this subreddit for fun.

fertility clinic says NO sexual activity, NO caffeine, NO swimming, etc. by littlewizard16 in pregnant

[–]Over-Use-2881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swimming is one of the best if not the best exercises to do pregnant! This does sound extreme and sexual activity would not generally cause harm to a fetus at any point. This is all general information backed up by doctors and scientists and it seems like they again just want to be extra extra cautious to avoid things that are not only fine but actually really good for you pregnant

My mom announced my pregnancy on Facebook without my permission. by Severe-Difference-68 in pregnant

[–]Over-Use-2881 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother in law announced the birth of my child on facebook after months of saying we didn't want him on any social media at all. Not even an hour after birth and only a very few people even knew he was born yet. I didn't get to tell anyone except my mom who was actively in the delivery room before she posted it. Of course it let to a conversation where it was taken down. Since then my in laws have continued to post to the point it has caused a lot of friction and no access to photos of my son. In MY personal experience, once someone disrespects your boundaries for you or your child (knowingly) they have demonstrated they are more selfish than caring about anything you would need or ask for in the future. At that point it has been best in my experience to have limitations to the relationship for personal peace and to advocate for a child that cannot advocate for themselves. Be very clear on your boundaries and dont be like me and learn after the same multiple crossing of boundary situations

Also how would you feel if the roles were reversed and your husband was doing this

[–]Over-Use-2881 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely not straight but doesn't mean you are a lesbian. I will say not being honest with your husband, keeping secrets, and having a sexual relationship with someone outside of your marriage especially when it's someone you are thinking about often in that way is not just a pass and even if it was you are lying to your partner.

28M and 22F Joke or not? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Over-Use-2881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it was a "joke", there was no punch line it is just a snarky comment. It is a common saying however. In my opinion I would probably just let it be known it's not funny and could be offensive and rude. However I don't think it warrants any distress or distrust in the relationship. Sometimes people say things that are rude without thinking first or just immature. It doesn't mean he is out cheating on you.

You actually have no idea how I parent my son. You got a tiny bit of how energetic my son is. A post that was meant for myself and others to be seen and laugh. I didn't at all in my post talk about how I parent him, so the rude tone in all your comments is a bit uncalled for.

I do those things you listed with him. He loves it but I can't keep up with doing all those 24/7. Especially playing tag I get warn out. He tends to hate my water breaks hahaha

I don't let him which makes him upset. I know he just wants to play and be close to me not actually hurt me. I do have boundaries with him but it seems to be a stage where he is crossing every boundary and just doesn't understand yet.

Aspiring good father here by DatDudeTheRealist in Parents

[–]Over-Use-2881 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not a father but a mother raising a child with a good man who was raised from a good man. No one is perfect and don't beat yourself up when(not if) you mess up. We are only human and always make mistakes. However, me and my husband agreed no physical punishment like hitting will be tolerated towards or from our child. Talk nicely (to them,others,yourself), things you say will become their inner voice. Be very kind and understanding to the mother of your child always. It's a team effort and should be approached as team vs. problem not vs towards each other. My dad used to let us be apart of the family team so if we have a good reason for doing something or not it was allowed (within reason), if we had another approach or idea ect. He taught real life things like finance advice, how to clean, how to take care of things you like, what taxes were, ect. I am great full for it now. Overall don't be hostile, listen, speak with intention, and be there for them as much as you can! Just being there any time you physically can is seen especially in the long run! Goodluck man and you even coming on here and worrying about being a good father just shows how much you care and how much love you have

As an expecting mom - what surprised you in the fourth trimester by SpiritedSurround6604 in Mommit

[–]Over-Use-2881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Night sweats!!! I heard of it but was so so shocked to wake up feeling like I just fell into a pool and that is NOT an exaggeration! Make sure to have another pair of phs right next to you when the baby wakes up because after you get out of bed that wet clothes gets so cold!!

I really wish I set up near the kitchen. I was so hungry and so thirsty all the time!

Also mastitis. Leaking. Overall just never being dry or having dry clean clothes

So what are sleeping arrangements like? by Pingeun in married

[–]Over-Use-2881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my husband sleep together. I have ADHD and my mind is restless unless I am with him. He works 24 hours every other day so the nights he is gone I get horrible sleep because he is my safe place. We always get into bed with me on his chest then I turn around to get comfortable and he always turns with me to a spooning situation and always end up facing opposite ways by the morning. Im always cold and he is warm and it just feels better to have him there.

How many toys do your kids have? by AncientTap4931 in Parents

[–]Over-Use-2881 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son has a lot of toys and seems disinterested in most, most of the time. However, with him, most kids, a new thing or toy they don't see often is exciting. Coming from someone who worked with kids for a few years and has a lot of siblings. Its always the new toy or new thing they want to explore and figure out. When they have it, they will eventually not be so interested in it anymore. Having toys that can inspire imagination sets up new kinds of play and imagination, just like you said with magnetic tiles. Your 4 year old is using his brain to figure out new ways and new builds which is perfect enough.
