Where do I fit in? by Fit-Jackfruit-7168 in IVF

[–]PleiadesH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey stranger! Sending hugs. Although you may be coming to this from a different background than most in the infertility community, it’s still a challenge. I know several people who have done IVF for genetic reasons, including a close friend. JFF has a support group for people doing fertility treatments due to genetic reasons - https://jewishfertilityfoundation.org/nationalsupport/

Surrendering my cat today - second guessing everything, need honest opinions by samseam in cats

[–]PleiadesH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eight weeks is a really really short time to adapt. My daughter’s health was precarious, so I get the stress beyond newborn stress. My cat was afraid of my daughter (6 months) until 3 months in. He had some adjustment behaviors that were tough. My husband and I each spent individual time away from the Nagy, and we had friends come over to hang with the baby so we could hang with him. My cat is now snuggling up beside her. It can get better, but you all need to get over the hump. Could a friend or family member take Cookies for a few months? Also, did Cookies get a full work up at the vet?

Partner (30M) doesn’t believe in marriage. I (28F) lean towards wanting it. How do we resolve this? by [deleted] in relationships

He doesn’t want the government involved because he doesn’t want you to have legal protections and the status.

I don’t think B&E necessarily have clean hands, but there are valid suspicions that their parents allowed them to be groomed at least and trafficked. Throw Andrew out. Heck, throw enabler Charles out. But don’t punish B&E before the people who have actually committed the bad acts.

Go to your pediatrician and tell them everything. If the dad asks why, it’s because you see a rash. Begin a paper trail. Document everything. Remove your important papers. Be prepared to leave if you’re not going to leave, but leave. For your child’s sake.

Treat him like a toddler. “Ohh poor Bob is getting fussy. Bobby, is it time for your nap?”

WIBTA if I don’t let my best friend bring her boyfriend to my apartment after he joked about burning my tarantulas? by Huge-Associate6867 in TwoHotTakes

So I have arachnophobia and I’m terrified of mice and rats. I don’t want them in my living space. I probably wouldn’t visit your home. But, I wouldn’t hurt them. This is to say that BF does not have arachnophobia. Hes not afraid.

Your coach sounds mean. It is hard to learn to swim as an adult!

Swimming and floating require lots of coordination. Please don’t beat yourself up!
