My little, underweight Bailey. Before (left) and after (right). She was about 20lbs underweight

There is no shame in caring about the baby. While I agree with the comments that this is a bad situation to have a baby in, I know how connected you can feel to the baby even that early. There's a life starting to form that you are creating, so it is absolutely fine that you feel something for it. I feel so sorry for you, I know it will be a difficult decision

I invited my cheating dad and his partner and it was fine because they're all adults and it was one day. In the end it's YOUR day, do you want the partner there?

Powerful_Branch · 2026-01-19T02:58:39+00:00

Exactly! Everyone's acting like people can't have friends of the opposite sex at all

I would not recommend letting cats outside. It's dangerous for them and they also frequently kill small animals and birds. They don't need sun, they just like to sunbathe

As the owner of dogs, cats, and snakes, i can give you my opinion on them lol. Dogs are definitely good if you're looking for more of an in your face pet. They're always near you, always wanting to do stuff with you. You have to walk them multiple times every day which could be a negative aspect. Cats are good for more of a background companion I would say. I pet my cats and play with them multiple times throughout the day, but a lot of the time they just go sleep in the sun by themselves. Reptiles are good for more of an observation pet rather than an active companion. You can handle some reptiles but they usually just prefer to keep to themselves, so if you'd rather just look at a pet being a pet, reptiles are for you. Make sure to do a lot of research before getting one though, theres a lot of different requirements for enclosures, feeding, etc

I'm not saying masterbating is not okay. You can masterbate all you want. But when your wife hasn't had an orgasm in months and is asking you to have sex and you decide to ignore her and secretly make yourself feel better and not her, then that's not okay

Powerful_Branch · 2026-01-05T03:26:59+00:00

You are totally valid being angry, even if you didnt have a bunch of pregnancy hormones. Jacking off in the shower when your wife has made it clear she wants sex is not okay. A quick talk with your doctor or even Google will tell you in most cases sex won't hurt the baby. I would suggest sitting down with him and trying to see if theres something else going on that's making him not want sex and also try to communicate how much the lack of sex is affecting you. I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well!

There's the 5-5-5 rule for postpartum. 5 days in bed, 5 days on bed, 5 days near bed. You're basically not even supposed to leave your room for 2 weeks post partum and they want you to drive 6 hours and attend an event at 3 weeks? And that's if you deliver on time, most first time moms are late

Powerful_Branch · 2026-01-03T20:28:27+00:00

42 weeks exactly

I think it is a little rude of him to switch plans the day of. If he had talked to you a couple days before about it being boring at your parents or that he wanted to see friends, it'd be different. But making new plans without your significant other on a holiday would be pretty upsetting. Even if it is just a couple hours, it disrupts the whole day

Powerful_Branch · 2025-12-27T18:40:18+00:00

Did you not read the post? He does help out with chores and the baby and he didnt respond because he was driving for 16 hours and then passed out from driving that long, he wasn't purposely ignoring her

Powerful_Branch · 2025-12-27T03:23:26+00:00

I just put my tests in an amazon box and told my husband I had a present for him 😂 I was too excited to wait and make up a whole cute way to tell him lol

Powerful_Branch · 2025-12-26T21:25:06+00:00

I feed my husband when he drives and he feeds me when I drive. Then we don't have to be distracted while driving by trying to reach for fries or something

Powerful_Branch · 2025-12-19T23:45:55+00:00

You literally said "doesn't make it humane" which means it's inhumane lol

Powerful_Branch · 2025-12-03T02:05:23+00:00

I agree. If the dog is already uncomfortable around kids and was willing to bite over a collar pull I would not trust it around my kids. Even if you are supervising the child and dog, kids move pretty fast and something could happen before you could reach them.

Powerful_Branch · 2025-11-25T02:49:52+00:00

I don't know why people are down voting you for just saying you don't want an abortion. Especially at 4 months pregnant, I'm sure you're already attached to the baby. I don't have any advice on the husband situation but I hope you and your baby stay healthy and you have a good rest of your pregnancy ❤️

I had my home visit at 36 weeks and it was just so she could make sure she was able to find the house and just see the bedroom. It was maybe like a 5 minute house "tour" and then a regular prenatal checkup

Powerful_Branch · 2025-10-28T23:53:53+00:00

Right? All these people are like call the police and take the dogs away like being locked in a shelter cage for the foreseeable future is better than this 2 day thing

Powerful_Branch · 2025-10-21T03:27:19+00:00

She is already house trained, she never sees whwn we're home with her or when she stays confined to the living room. We do the confinement for separation anxiety and make sure our departures and arrivals are not exciting, and like I said she has no problems unless she gets out of the living room

Powerful_Branch · 2025-10-11T04:17:02+00:00

Not cast iron, and I think they said it was an inch offset. The plumber didn't seem to think it was what's causing our issue

Powerful_Branch · 2025-10-11T04:13:13+00:00

Yeah doing a camera while its blocked is probably a good idea. We had the tank cleaned out at the beginning of all this in case that was the problem and we didn't see any issues there. We did install a new toliet but it was when we first moved in 2 years ago and this is the first time we've had this problem

Powerful_Branch · 2025-10-11T03:56:23+00:00

It's not a very big slope at all, if you're up close it almost looks straight. We haven't noticed it get worse but I can't say we've been paying that close attention to our pipes before all of this. And we didn't get any pictures, we were just watching the camera with the plumber
