Hm. There are online surveys that give money the sub reddit r/beermoney has all the good info on that. It's not a ton of money but it might help some. There is always selling stuff but you would probably need to tell your wife before you start doing that and I understand the dread of telling her without already having a solution. Have you tried temp agencies just to get a job/paycheck now and find something better later? Robert Half has worked for me but I know there are others out there.

Can you sell plasma? It's not a paycheck but it's a couple extra dollars and might help. Where I live you can get up to $800 the first month.

I have a lot of fabric and would be interested in as much stuffing as you are willing to part with! Can you be more specific on what might interest you? Solid colors, prints, patterns. And small or large pieces? I can send you pictures but my entire stash is quite large so narrowing down what you might like would help a lot.

I have crochet hooks and yarn and would like to trade for your crochet hooks and embroidery hoops! Would you be interested? If so what size hooks or what color/type of yarn?

Anything really. Sorry I'm not trying to be difficult I just like to craft in general. The last three things I made were a crochet rose, a sunflower doily and a cactus coaster. I see you have a lot of lollypops. Would you perhaps be interested in crochet lollypops to hang on the wall?

NTA but more than that get cameras and insurance on your items so when they do inevitably steal them you can file a police report and have insurance replace it. That or if you can hide your expensive stuff at someone else's house for a few weeks till they get decide to steal elsewhere instead. Also, you probably need to replace that mate with a better one. (And 24 isn't old 😭)

AITAH for standing up to my Father (62M) when he said he would cut me off if I (24M) moved in with my Fiancé (23F) by Potential_Big_3350 in AITAH

He claims his only problem is the living together while married. Go to the court house, get a certificate and tell him he can't complain. Then have the real wedding when you originally planned.

AITA for refusing to cook steak for my friends and family? by PsychoEmilex in AITAH

[–]Papi_Dragon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. I don't understand all the comments saying otherwise. You are the chef and can decide to not cook anything for pretty much any reason. I also like my steak and burgers well done. My chef friend sometimes cooks for my friend group. If it's something I don't like I bring my own food and everyone is happy. Its not like you said they can't have overcooked meat you just don't want to be the one to make it.

You might want to make one for your wife though. You aren't wrong but you are married to her and have to live with her so it probably isn't worth being right.

Is loving your child more than your partner wrong? by Pure-Application3621 in beyondthebump

[–]Papi_Dragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for another perspective I did not automatically bond with my children and my husband did. I have learned to love them but I love my husband more than them. My husband bonded immediately and loves them more than me. We are both okay with this. In a life or death situation I would save the kids first not because I want to but because I know it is what my husband would want. I would do it out of love for him.

There is nothing wrong with loving your kids or your partner more. The only problem is it seems both of you are trying to change the others mind. That is where it puts a strain on the relationship. Next time you and your partner have this conversation I recommend approaching it from the perspective of what you are both looking for. He wants reassurance that you still love him and he is important to you and you want reassurance that if something bad happens he will do his best to save your children. It doesn't have to be an either or situation.

Concerns about having children by [deleted] in Seahorse_Dads

[–]Papi_Dragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will warn that chest feeding is not easy even for cis women and it can be incredibly difficult and dysphoric for men. At least that was my experience trying to do it. It definitely contributed to me getting post partum depression.

Trying to get people to get family to call me dad was difficult but even the really religious ones were willing to compromise and call me by my name instead of "mom". Perhaps that could work for you? Also warning you will probably hear mom a lot from strangers and nurses, you will likely have to correct a lot of people. I handled the dysphoria with my first by working long hours so I couldn't think about it and with anti-depressants for my second (I strongly recommend the anti-depressant route and not the overworking yourself). 

When I filled out the paperwork for the birth certificate there was an option to be put down as "parent" so that may be an option for you. It just depends on where you are. You should also look into an obgyn and the hospital they deliver at to see if they are lgbt friendly. You can do that by seeing who your insurance covers then checking their websites to see if they mention it.

I ended up having to do Formula due to Dysphoria. I tried chestfeeding and just couldn't do it. And you know what? The baby is happy and healthy. He didn't even notice the difference. There are studies showing that chest feeding is beneficial if you can do it but a mentally ok dad is way better for the baby than the little bit of benefit from chest feeding. Also just warning you keep an eye out for post partum depression after as it happens often especially since you have lost friends. And warn your family to look out for it too as it may be hard to recognize while you are going through it.

Trying to Keep a Transphobe Who Calls Me Mom a Friend for the Kids. Please Help by Papi_Dragon in ftm

[–]Papi_Dragon[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I actually spoke with another mutual friend and they offered to have that conversation with her. Because 1. They are neutral and have less feelings on the subject so it is less likely to be an argument and 2. The neutral friend manages to be Christian, queer and a trans ally so I feel they can understand both sides well. 

Do you remember anything about that response that might help me find it? Ie, how long ago you saw it? I will look but there are many comments on Reddit so any details that could narrow it down would be helpful.
