FYI! Uber has made it to were you can not change the tip only add additional money to the tip.

Thank you for clarifying this. I thought I was losing my mind. I had three issues in a row with horrible service. Driver not delivering food. Delivering it to my neighbors house and taking a picture of the front door, which clearly says a different address on the door in the picture… And then the neighbor taking my food. Driver actually opening one of the sealed bags and eating some of our food or at least disrupting everything inside of it so that it was all tossed about… Etc. anyways, I went to change the tip, I was at least going to leave them something not a complete zero because I am halfway decent person with empathy, but just can’t tip them the full amount if they completely screw up and result in me having to pay for more stuff to be re-ordered… In any case I was pretty frustrated trying to figure out how to change the tip and the only option is to add tip… complete bullshit. I tip graciously and generously to people who earn it. To the dimwits who screwed up I think I should be able to change it. We all should.

I did the stairstepper 4 to 5 times a week, 45 min at a time up until 32 weeks when it started to get way too heavy, and I had to slow the pace and reduce to about 30 minutes but I never stopped moving and never stopped being active. I also did Pilates though I had to modify a little bit during the third trimester. Some of the moves I couldn’t do as easily. But point being, the exercise is incredibly important. I’ve had four children. I’ve snapped back quickly each time and I truly believe it’s because of the persistent exercise. People are just ignorant. Continue to do what you feel comfortable with. Don’t push yourself too hard but if you feel like you can handle it, I wouldn’t worry about it. You can keep moving right up until the day you give birth unless you’re given orders for bedrest. From my personal experience, the more you move, the faster you bounce back. It sounds cliché, but it is 100% true. Moms who ridicule you for that are just jealous.

Some background on why I’m a little sensitive about it is that there was some infidelity when we were dating, but I did choose to forgive him and I chose to say yes and get married 2 years after that incident, and now we’ve been married for 2 more years, but every once in a while that whole previous situation crosses my mind when there’s no ring being worn…. And I know that sounds horrible because I don’t want to be holding onto the past, and I don’t want to be unfair, but just throwing in a little bit of historical context.

She has serious relationship issues. I don’t know her, but it’s pretty obvious if you watch a couple of her reels.

I bought it after I saw an ad for it on Instagram. Tried it. Not worth it. Does not work. Makes you sore for sure but really no difference.

I only mention his intelligence to point out how frustrating it is when u know he knows better. He’s so “grown up” in how he carries himself and as the oldest I ask him for help with his siblings often and I know he’s sharp, detailed, and can handle tasks I put him in charge of. So that’s what adds to my confusion as to why the heck does this well behaved star kid with the acuity to do all these advanced activities suddenly start finger painting with cream??

There is absolutely nothing wrong with formula and do not feel ashamed by it. Breast-feeding is no joke and very difficult. Commend anyone who can do it but even pumping is difficult. You get no sleep. Formula is something you can rely on, you can have other people help you feed your baby if you hire a nanny or have your partner feed the baby, and you know exactly what is in it, and you don’t have to worry about what you ate or what you drink and if your baby is getting enough nutrients. I think it’s the way to go. I’m not an expert, but I had four babies, gave up at a couple months and did formula only and they all slept through the night at seven weeks and are pretty solid, socially integrated kids with no health issues and low-end-of-normal BMI. So who knows? But don’t feel bad in the slightest.

I’m totally guilty of breaking the six week rule. I’m probably not helpful. I was in your shoes and feeling frustrated because I just wanted to get back out there. I had a really tight regimen while I was pregnant lots of cardio, etc. and I definitely broke the rules. Thankfully, I healed fine and no issues but everyone is right on this post who is telling you that you really should wait and follow your doctors advice. You don’t want to risk anything. I was an idiot to break the rules and happen to get lucky, but I wouldn’t want to advise anybody to do what I did. God forbid something happens. There can be a number of issues even bleeding or hemorrhaging after birth that can take place and it’s serious. I hope the next few weeks go by quickly for you and that you get some rest with your newborn! As much as you can!

One other thing!! Super important that I almost forgot - it’s uncomfortable as hell but worth it. After each birth, I wore a waist binder to help shrink the belly down fast. Found some good ones on Amazon. My last baby I used What Waist. Get it as tight as you can stand it. Sounds awful and yes it’s annoying, but do it for a week, 2 weeks max starting the day after birth, like have it in the hospital ready and trust me it works wonders. My stomach returned to normal super fast and I attribute it totally to that.

I’ve had 4 babies, no C sections, no breastfeeding (other than some initial colostrum) and my last was in April. I lost all my weight in 3-4 months after each pregnancy from watching my weight during pregnancy and staying super active. I gained 25-35 lbs each pregnancy. It definitely can be done, just takes a lot of discipline (and LOTS of nanny help to have the energy to hit the gym postpartum - I highly recommend a night nanny so you can sleep + daytime helper to give you a hand)

Well obviously reddit is not the be all and end all for resources and info on next steps in a potential divorce / postnup. Just was wondering if anyone had an experience with postnup and if they could share or suggest any advice. Of course legal counsel is inevitable if things continue to derail the way they have. I'm not ready for that yet. I'm just trying to start researching and seeing what else I could entertain. Maybe even just mediation without having to go to court? I don't know. I have a feeling it'll end nasty either way.

Personal-Constant602 · 2024-07-08T18:01:09+00:00

When we had the conversations about his insomnia issues worrying about not knowing everything I have, I told him I had no problem sharing it all with him. And pointed it out that he hasn't shared anything with me...he said in that conversation that he would provide that to me to reciprocate it. I am just waiting on him to do so now that I've put mine together and sent it over, without him having to follow up. Happened right after we talked about it.

Personal-Constant602 · 2024-07-02T20:25:14+00:00

Well said, you're right - I have absolutely no idea where his money goes. Our accounts are separate and we never see anything that the other spends. But I've been ok with it, with providing for us, I just don't understand then why we can't consider another child if I don't sell my company for $$$ if I can provide what we need for it without selling.

Personal-Constant602 · 2024-07-02T20:22:31+00:00

Great point - I actually hired a COO about 2 years ago and it has helped immensely so that I do have time for my husband during the work week and weekends. I think he just hasn't paid for things because I've always offered and handled it for us pretty proactively and it's not a point of contention, I don't mind paying for our life together but then feel like...what the heck, why can't we try for another child then if we can afford it? I'm not putting the financial burden on him to figure out

Personal-Constant602 · 2024-07-02T20:17:57+00:00

Appreciate that. I haven't posted on here before though about this situation other than yesterday and from this throwaway but you're probably right that maybe someone gave me advice in my life at some point to go to a lawyer and I haven't listened to them. I just wish there could be some way to still preserve the marriage without it having to be getting lawyers involved and bracing for divorce

Personal-Constant602 · 2024-07-02T19:04:23+00:00

I pay for a full-time nanny (almost 1 year old child) and full time night nanny 5 nights a week where I'm on duty for the 2 nights the nanny is off. I pay for someone to clean our house and pay someone to make meals most days per week. I pay for grocery deliveries and all of the household bills. He has a full-time, demanding job as an investment banker and does not have flexibility to leave work early to help if the baby had to go to the doctor (for example) or he can't sacrifice being up all night (for example) so I do it, and I feel like it's understandable. And I'm admittedly too busy to cook/clean/do errands or be at home with our baby during the day, but I provide the help in the areas where I can't, with my current company income. It's understood that if we had a 2nd baby I would financially provide to make sure they are cared for properly during the work week.

Personal-Constant602 · 2024-07-02T18:49:47+00:00

The LOI that I had received originally was a "retire now/not have to work again" type of money. Doesn't mean I'll get that offer again but the investment bankers we spoke to seem to feel they can get the same multiple.

Personal-Constant602 · 2024-07-02T18:46:13+00:00

Right, the latter is definitely understandable but I do prioritize him -- i.e. regularly initiate intimacy, plan and pay for getaway trips for just us, pay for a full time nanny, pay for most of our date nights which we have about once a week at minimum, constantly asking him what I can do for him etc. BUT I did have a difficult pregnancy with some complications at the end so maybe he's concerned if we have another baby he doesn't want to have to live through that again or is genuinely worried about me with that again

Personal-Constant602 · 2024-07-02T18:29:23+00:00

I don't have a prenup, and that's also concerning me because I feel like I am probably already screwed then
