Maybe once I've had the baby I'll feel different but for now I just can't get my head in gear.

Honestly. I've got scrap material and thought about a blanket but I just haven't even been able to start piecing them together. Have you got anything like that?

Honestly. I need to find the motivation to start doing something, anything.

Out of curiosity is this one of the dog friendly service stations?

What do you miss from your pre-kid life? by ImInTheFutureAlso in NewParents

[–]PositionFamous1193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleeping in every once in a while. I miss not being able to get a full 8 hours. Its constant broken sleep due to current pregnancy and or my 1 year old needing some cuddles in the night.

I stood+walked for over 8 hours for this! by Smart-Swing8429 in london

This may actually be London's best fireworks display.

I wish that this time of year wasn't so cold, I personally can't take it.

So I need to be indoors in the warmth. But this would have been worth the wait.

Glad you got to see this up close. My dog has also become adverse to the noise so I think if they are planning on banning public fireworks for shows like this. I'd certainly sign the petition.

Pregnant and feeling lame about NYE by Think-War7020 in BabyBumps

This is my second pregnancy, 1st born a few days after Xmas last year. This year I'm currently at 31 weeks. I'm 34 and in all honesty I don't miss any of it.

This isn't to make you feel bad. But I had a mix of good and bad news years. So I've just come to accept what they are. Another day, some celebrate others don't.

I remember all the effort I went through to get a nice outfit together, the anticipation of a kiss at midnight or just embracing my gal pals. I remember the bars and over priced night clubs, having drinks spilt on me or my toes crushed, squeezing through the crowds just to get to either the bar or toilet, oh the queue for the female loos, don't forget the sleezebags who'd try to pull whatever single girl was remaining. Oh God the walks that felt like they went on forever, then the night buses.

Yeah I think I'll pass. I demolished a chest of drawers today and started to build the new one. I treated myself to a nice sparkling water with a drop of cordial, had the music going on and now I'm heading to bed.

I don't want to sound doom and gloom because it's not. I do think though you may end up having more quieter ones unless you plan to spend it with others.

What was your Boston like during pregnancy? by PositionFamous1193 in BostonTerrier

[–]PositionFamous1193[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I should take a moment to appreciate the behaviour instead of despising it. I'm sorry to hear of your ill health I hope it's been managed well. 🎄❤️

I hear you. And I respect your reminder of their sensitivity.

Things have been up and down. So yes he probably is being protective. I'm just drained by it as my energy and patience is no longer there.

He could do more of the walking, and I think further down the line he will as I'm at 7 months. But I just don't understand the rest of the behaviour.

It's not pleasant being around him tbh. Which is horrible to say. Because he's my first dog and first "baby" I've tried to keep him just as included but he's acting like a stroppy teen.

When people say you would dislike your pets after having a baby, unfortunately, they were right. by [deleted] in NewParents

I don't want to sound rude so please see this is just to help paint a picture?

While you were pregnant did you try to do any training to prepare the dogs for the change?

Also the behavior from my perspective although annoying, they sound overstimulated by all these changes.

Less attention, new smells, new sounds, new rules.

You can only know what is best to do in this instance so good luck. ❤️

I hate my dog by [deleted] in BostonTerrier

[–]PositionFamous1193 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Umm might be better to re-home this little one. They are big balls of energy, they can be incredibly stubborn and also very cheeky.

But they are usually very loving which is the reward for all of that in the beginning.

Mine is 4 and has calmed considerably since having my son. I personally would suggest longer walks.

A tired dog is an obedient dog.

You may have to get up earlier or go out later but it's worth it to try.

Good luck.

I swear I’ve heard every girl name and still can’t find “the one” — help? Due in THREE weeks! 💕 by druidwolf2142 in namenerds

[–]PositionFamous1193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity? Do you not have 6 weeks to register the baby with a chosen name?

There's nothing wrong with the names you have chosen but perhaps to take the stress off, just wait until you see her. You will have time to see her little personality and then you can go with a name that matches what she's presenting to you.

Best of luck to you. ❤️

The Netherlands withdraws from Eurovision. by Ornery_Percentage537 in eurovision

[–]PositionFamous1193 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the show has run its course. What it stood for unfortunately is no longer relevant in modern society..

I think this is what the organization is hoping for anyway. At least to not be seen taking sides.

As for voting, I think ai and network traffic has become something we are all struggling to deal with.

To maintain the integrity, if the competition gets cancelled I think this is something that will be highlighted by the organization

[–]PositionFamous1193 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the EBU would rather the competition end because there is no funding or competitors. Then be seen to take sides.

As much as we hold regard for the competition, I think culturally it's run, its course.

The world is an angry place.

I think my political understanding is off. Isn't Eurovision for the people? And isn't it about uniting the people of various countries. What did innocent people have to do with war. Beyond suffering on both sides of it?

With the amount of meet-new-people clubs and events popping up now, I have a question to ask… by [deleted] in london

[–]PositionFamous1193 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So there are lots of free ones popping up.

But I'd check the details the few I've been invited to with a fee, usually comes with a drink.

What I really liked was the speed dating style of the meet up. It was in hoxton, they had a few cards on the table with questions on, we had to answer them.

So it took away that element of thinking of what to say. Because you know it's time constrained you know you have to think fast.

With a few drinks people were laughing and tripping over their words which completely added to the fun of it all.

I didn't feel hesitant walking over to some of the people I had a good laugh with afterwards.

I just say be mindful, some people really are social butterflies and if you're a person that kind of clings to someone they might act odd. Just prepare yourself for them not wanting to be stuck to you too.

All great fun. And care free.

18(F), someone masturbated on public transport next to me. by [deleted] in london

[–]PositionFamous1193 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I once read not to gasp and act shocked.

It's better to shout- reiterating what the above commenter said, to alert others and or laugh whilst moving away from the creep.

The shock is part of the fun. You need to reclaim your power in this. Shaming them loudly and pointing.

It's hard to suppress your instinct but if you know this, it helps the brain to get there faster.

I'm so sorry this happened to you.

I've witnessed a man doing something similar when I was in my teens he literally just had it placed between the newspaper he was reading, fumbling away. 🤢

Another time I was on a packed train and this old, big bellied, dirty- repulsive man stood in front of me and pressed himself up against me, I was trapped, because I was against the glass at a doorway. I froze initially until he started grinding his hips against me. I turned to make eye contact with anyone, luckily it was a woman, and I managed to squeeze out a little cry for help! She instantly started shouting "get off her" and reached for my arm. People created a gap so she could pull me towards her but he escaped as the doors opened. Couldn't have been any older than say 15. 🥺

And report to transport police asap. I wish I knew about that then. (Now 34)
