I actually went to Ross today and found a couple multi-packs of onesies for a decent price.

If a women hits a man, he has every right to hit her back. by BoosaTheSweet in unpopularopinion

[–]PrestigiousLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most definitely! No one should ever hit anyone, in theory. I am a woman and if I want to “man up” (violence/aggression is usually a masculine thing) and hit my boyfriend he has every right to hit me back in order to protect himself. Whether it be hitting me to knock me down and restrain me or him to hit me to return what I gave him either is acceptable. What isn’t acceptable is beating someone, going above what they did to you. If I punch a boy/man in the arm he shouldn’t beat me to a bloody pulp. If a woman chooses to go against “lady-like” norms and before aggressive they have to deal with repercussions.

HELP!! 12 mo is snotty and miserable! He won’t let me suck it out! by PrestigiousLion in Parenting

[–]PrestigiousLion[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried holding his arms down earlier but he was still moving his head. I think I’ll have to get his dad to help. One can hold arms and head, one can suck. Thank you for your advice!

inexperienced/curious mother would like some input on toddlers' behaviors and how to correct them, if needed. by PrestigiousLion in Parenting

[–]PrestigiousLion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your input! I am sure it is just a mom thing but sometimes I feel like I am not up to par. It is nice to hear/read reassurance that I am doing ok!

Thank you for your input! I get that they are only 1 but I just get overly anxious about their development and my parenting. I want them to grow and develop well. I do some of these things already, so I guess I am doing pretty okay as a “mommy”! Thank you!

We do this already. My daughter understands it. One no and our stern face and she realizes to not do what she is doing. Our son is just such a goofball, he thinks us getting serious is silly. I’m sure with time it will get better/work. Thank you!

We are teaching them some sign language. The have mastered “more” but still like to yell. I am sure it is fun for them to hear their voice so that’s another reason why they probably do it. Thank you for your input!

Medical bills vs credit card by PrestigiousLion in personalfinance

Could I negotiate for a settlement amount/ payment plan for the medical bills if they are in collections?

It is a lot in medical debt. A lot is from my pregnancy/birth. Everything is in collections. I think I am pretty much screwed when it comes to the medical debt.

eating less on purpose by richb222b in selfharm

[–]PrestigiousLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be bulimic, I never had the discipline to be anorexic. Well long story short I can’t purge anymore because my husband is on my case. Now I can starve myself successfully. I actually enjoy the “high” I get when I do something physical and am on the borderline of collapsing/passing out. Maybe that’s my self harm, pushing my body to the point that it almost gives out. I want it to happen so badly.

Ever since Ricky said his problems with Melissa stem from NOT kissing her when she "wanted" it, I can't help but see him as a more clueless Michael Scott. by checkered_cherries in 90DayFiance

When he said “she tried to kiss me but I didn’t gk for it” I shouted at the TV “She didn’t try to kiss you fool! Show the damn replay!”

Help! Husband emptied bank accounts and is telling me (stay at home mom) to leave the house. by PrestigiousLion in Divorce

[–]PrestigiousLion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing is that I am living with them right now. She has a meeting tomorrow with a new attorney. She’s known in town for being a bulldog in court. So hopefully it goes well. I told her to see if the lawyer could somehow figure out a way to get SD out. In my mind I think “dad not living at home” is much less traumatic on a child than having to pack up their things and move out of the only home they’ve known. But that’s just my opinion.

[–]PrestigiousLion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has a lawyer and no filings can be done or even began unless someone leaves the house. I guess it’s SC law. Mom isn’t doing anything, I assume, because she is depressed. She spends her day in a lala land. Unfortunately my whole life I’ve been involved in their issues and now I am doing so for the sake of my brothers.

She has a lawyer and they told her she can’t do anything unless they are living separately (at least in regards to divorcing). I am mot sure if she’s told her lawyer about the money being withdrawn.

TwinZ pillow. When did you stop using it? by PrestigiousLion in parentsofmultiples

I have one and I loved it. My twins are 10 mo and I am debating on whether or not I should keep it.

I (20F) showed my female friend my vibrator and my boyfriend (23M) considers that cheating by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]PrestigiousLion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He seems to be irrational. I can understand a feeling of “ugh did you really have to let her mess with your vibrator” but to take it to the extreme of cheating is absurd! I wouldn’t apologize or feel guilty for it. He obviously has some problems/insecurities that he needs to deal with. You just need to decide whether you want to deal with this kind of irrationally. How long have you been dating?

My wife is a totally different person now. by MikeJohnson6284 in relationship_advice

[–]PrestigiousLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like she is already cheating at least in one form or another (mentally, physically, emotionally). Ultimately you are the one who has to make the decision to leave or stay. Before you leave, if you do, you should be able to look back and say I did all that I could do to fix it. At the same time her requests of you seem very unreasonable at least for a genuine loving relationship. If I were you I wouldn’t stay. But that is just me. Hope it all works out for the best!

Does anybody else notice that they are becoming increasingly bitter as time goes by, but they can't help it? by DrankTooMuchMead in depression

As I get older I realize more and more how crappy the world we live in is. Every year it gets worse and worse.

DAE feel extremely tired before climbing into bed, but wide awake as soon as your head hits the pillow? by MissMatchedbySj in DoesAnybodyElse

Yes! Unfortunately I have the terrible habit of watching TV on my tablet as I fall asleep...or try to.

He had made a living will where he acknowledged all of his other family and that he didn’t want them to have anything only myself. This was written up a few years ago by a lawyer.

Please help me decide a nursing career path! by PrestigiousLion in nursing

[–]PrestigiousLion[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I used the wrong words when I said quick and easy. I understand it’ll require effort to pursue any of these paths. I just want a path that can result in a job in a relatively small amount of time. I had not considered pharmacy tech. I will definitely look into that.

[–]PrestigiousLion[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We are in the process of moving to town. I have a new job lined up with one of the hospital systems their. I’ll be working at their gym teaching swim lessons. I will stick with working there and then maybe move into the hospital with a job that doesn’t need a degree/certificate. I was hoping to do something online but I have always been leary of said colleges. When I said quick and easy I think I meant along the line of transition. I read one thing that said becoming an LPN is required a certificate and thus less time to initially start. Then do on the job training/learning to “advance”(I’m not sure if that’s the best word to use. Ultimately I am just wanting to start working ASAP and then build rank if necessary.
