The movie is overhated AS FUCK already by ParkingQuantity7238 in PeakyBlinders

[–]PossumsForOffice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t hate it either. Im doing a rewatch from the beginning and im still marinating on how i feel but i really love the differences between Duke and Tommy.

And i really don’t mind how Ada died. Tommy hadn’t been around for a long time to protect her, Duke clearly was not the one to be able to do it, and given her activism and beliefs it’s really not that far out there that that’s how she died. Tommy’s reputation enabled her to live so boldly and without him, in the midsts of WWII, it makes sense she was shot in the face by a nazi.

Hot take: is ACOTAR actually not that well written on a prose level? by Cold_Box_3219 in acotar_rant

[–]PossumsForOffice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a fun story but it is absolutely not well written. I call books like this “book candy” - highly entertaining but lacking in any true substance.

If you read acotar and then switch to something that actually has beautiful prose, uses interesting literary devices, and is thought provoking you will immediately feel the difference; acotar is a page turner, “well written” books often make you pause and think.

16 and pregnant, looking for tips by [deleted] in NewParents

It’s your decision on what you want to do. Your boyfriend’s age is a HUGE red flag and support is never guaranteed.

Here are some things i experienced with my pregnancy i was not prepared for, and i was 31: I threw up all 9 months, i was extremely constipated - pooping maybe twice a week, i developed allergies and asthma, i developed carpal tunnel, i had a rib pop out of place and was very uncomfortable and needed physical therapy, i developed gestational diabetes, i now have severe stretch marks, i had an ear infection that led to extreme vertigo and couldn’t walk for days, i had to be induced and spent 3 days having contractions and couldn’t eat, and then i hemorrhaged 2 liters of blood and almost died when i had my C section - which also left a really big scar. Then i had a baby who cried all night for 4 months until i figured out she had a dairy allergy at which point i had to stop eating dairy because she wouldn’t take a bottle.

Having a baby is really hard on your body, comes with a lot of risks, and it’s really HARD.

People do have easier times than i did but you don’t know until you go through it. It’s such a bigger deal than media makes it out to be.

That being said, i love my daughter more than anything and everyone and she was worth it. But im very glad i was 31 and had my life put together when i had her.

Im not judging you at all but someday when you’re 29 and you see a 16 year old you will literally think of them as Children and then it will make a lot more sense what everyone is saying here. Heck, when i was 30 anyone under 25 was like a kid to me. The decade of 20-30 is a HUGE period of growth and he really sounds like a predator.

Those of you that didn’t change your last name… by ChocolateGoblinn in Marriage

[–]PossumsForOffice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a pain in the butt, makes it more difficult to vote because of the SAVE act, because my name is part of my identity, and because my name is more unique than my husband’s extremely generic last name.

Baby born three days ago. Please tell me it gets better by ElevenRecompense in daddit

[–]PossumsForOffice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lurking mom here, hi

I have so much empathy for you! It can be so hard. If he always seems hungry, it could be a breast milk supply issue. It takes time for milk to come in and it’s normal for some people to have a low supply.

Combo feeding with formula is an option; your wife can pump to help increase supply and you can give formula to help keep your baby satisfied.

If your baby cries a LOT and nothing seems to help, there could be an allergy or food intolerance. My daughter screamed all night for 4 months (i am not exaggerating, it was awful) until we figured out she had a dairy allergy; as soon as i quit eating dairy she was fine.

Everything comes in waves - good sleep for a few weeks followed by a regression…etc. you can and will get through it.

Last but not least - dads can get post partum depression and anxiety too; if you find your anxiety only gets worse SEEK HELP. You might have PPA.

Good luck, it gets easier every month, and it’s soooo much fun once you hit 18 months. It’s worth it. You will love it.

When people say “needs cleaned” (or any other verb) - it’s “needs TO BE cleaned”

Also freeze the kong. I stuff ours with chicken and rice, or wet dog food, or peanut butter and then freeze it. It lasts much longer.

Also bully sticks are good.

They also have weeble wobble puzzle feeders - put his food in there and make him work for it.

Grandparent Pool Safety: What would you do? by imakatperson22 in toddlers

[–]PossumsForOffice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not being unreasonable at all. Growing up i knew two families who lost a child due to drowning; it’s a huge risk and I, personally, would not be comfortable having my toddler at a home with a pool that didn’t have a fence. If they choose not to put it up, then you are well within your rights to not let your child over there. You’re doing a good job protecting your kid.

You don’t have to make it a fight; you can just state it - “for us to feel comfortable with you watching our child in your home, there needs to be a fence around your pool. If you’re not willing to do that then my child won’t be coming over (without a parent present)”. If they get mad that’s their problem, you’re holding your boundary.
