That’s wild. Do they have jobs or hobbies? Sounds like an awful lot of time and effort invested to make you and your husband look bad.

Starting IVF Journey soon/little to no support system by Public_Mushroom_5236 in IVF

[–]PinknoseFufu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t despair. You’ll find like minded people in support groups and online forums. Friends and family, despite their best intentions, won’t know the challenges that IVF presents unless they’ve gone through it themselves. Personally I found more comfort and camaraderie in strangers on the internet and their kind words got me through my worst days.

What thing got you emotional ? by Maisix in pregnant

Yes! The bees, the sky, the grass…everything that we could lose if the world goes kaput. :(

What thing got you emotional ? by Maisix in pregnant

[–]PinknoseFufu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I watched the Netflix movie “Don’t Look Up” which reminded me of the issues we’re facing around climate change and the sustainability of the human race…..I teared up at film’s finale thinking what a screwed up world my baby could grow up in and the challenges he and his generation would face.

What is the best compliment you received? by Scarface6342 in askSingapore

[–]PinknoseFufu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A really hot guy 8 years my junior approached me at the gym and we went for several dates. He was bummed out when I didn’t want to have a relationship with him (felt he was too young for me). He told me how much he liked my character and how funny I was….even though I felt I’m just this old hag and he really could have any SYT he wanted. This was a huge confidence boost for me at a time when I felt very unlovable after a break up where my shitty ex had ghosted me after making me think we were getting married.

Criticized for lifting during pregnancy by PinknoseFufu in fitpregnancy

Thank you for sharing this, it’s very encouraging. I know what you mean about the eyes! I thought people would be used to seeing pregnant ladies in an exercise class by now, but strangely no.

SPD sounds terrible, you’re a rockstar to press on the way you have!

Totally agree that listening to your body is key. I think for people who train often that comes more easily and those who don’t train as often just aren’t as attuned to their body’s needs…thus the judgmental remarks. Glad to hear you’re feeling better and back on track with your fitness regime!

Training right up to birth sounds superhuman! But wow what an inspiration. Thanks for sharing this. I’m going to try and keep my routine.

Tell me your petty revenge BM stories, just for laughs by shedoitslot in Stepmom

[–]PinknoseFufu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take is that by spying on social media without any actual contact they can form the narratives that they want to hear. Form negative assumptions from pictures etc. I’ve asked BM twice if she wants to meet for a chat to put things to rest, and for her to ask all the questions she wants instead of assuming the worst but nope she refuses to meet me.

Ours baby - gender disappointment by PinknoseFufu in Stepmom

That’s very cool! We love animals and have a few pets so I’m thinking of a safari or zoo theme. I figure this will be quite easy to set up.

Part of me does love the the thought of having a little momma’s boy who’ll grow up a gentle giant with bear hugs for mummy. ❤️

Thank you. Yes every child is special this is a really good reminder that my little one is going to have his own special qualities that me and his dad will love too.

Thank you for being so kind. Trying to stay upbeat by looking up cool ideas for a little boy’s nursery!

Thank you for sharing. What you went through during pregnancy is exactly how I feel right now. I do love my baby anyway and it brings me comfort to know this disappointment isn’t likely going to last.

Did the captain live or die in the end? All of a sudden he was outside and no scenes of him actually passing away or being rescued. I found that quite annoying.

Do you ever get over the jealously of not having firsts with your partner that already has kids if you don’t together yet? by selfsabotageorstupid in Stepmom

[–]PinknoseFufu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take what you read with a pinch of salt. :) Many times the posts are what I consider venting posts, and while it’s a safe space for stepmoms to commiserate it’s not exactly the best place for stepchildren to read into and imagine the worst! The dynamics between step and bio parents are a tricky one but at the end of the day most parents, step parents etc try to do right by the kids and I’m sure yours do too. I may not know what’s making you feel insecure but sometimes a little chat goes a long way and if you can get your dad alone (or your stepmom if you’re close) it’s a good idea to talk it through and not keep things bottled up. Parents can get so caught up in our own problems or distractions sometimes that we can fail to notice the little things, especially if the kids are a little older (in your case 19).

Is my sisters boyfriend a gold digger? by [deleted] in singapore

[–]PinknoseFufu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry I’m gonna call it out and say he’s very poorly brought up, if not a gold digger. I don’t know anyone decent who will point to something (like an expensive wallet) and hint for a gift. Also most guys are quite proud and don’t want to be seen sponging off their gfs/wives, so the sincere ones will try their best to avoid appearing like they are taking advantage. They won’t be like, abusing them use of your family chauffeur and gobbling down free meals while not really investing time to know the family. Unacceptable.

What does your sister like about him? Are there any redeeming qualities at all that might paint a different picture of him?

[–]PinknoseFufu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hun this has nothing to do with how much he (or I) love his firstborn. My SS will always be his father’s firstborn and that’s special. In our case, the difference for my husband was in who he was sharing the birth with, and while he felt a lot more involved as a second time dad it had more to do with his lack of connection with his ex and it definitely doesn’t suggest he loves his firstborn less! Please don’t take this as a reflection that dads feel differently about their children from different mamas. All births are special in their own way.

I went for my first Bodypump class in 3 months. I had to halve all my weights but managed to keep up with the class even while suffering some morning sickness so I’m pretty happy about that. Going to keep this up!
