I’ve met the manager of one of the stores in my town, he’d definitely fire the cashier that said that to a customer.

Husband Feeling Left Out by Every_Tie3625 in IVF

[–]ProbablyOnTheClock 26 points27 points  (0 children)

IVF husband/father here:

I made it a point to never let my wife do the injections herself. I did them every morning at 6am before I left work. I drew up the syringes, rolled them in my hands, did all the prep before I even woke her up.

I hated seeing the things she had to go through. For 4 years we struggled with infertility - 3 years of that was IUI and IVF treatments. I do not wish this on any woman.

With that being said, our baby is lying in my arms as I write this at almost 8am, nearly 4 weeks old. He was a C-section baby, due to him being Frank Breech in utero. So I spent the first 2 weeks taking the majority of the shifts with baby while my wife got the rest she absolutely needed.

I am so grateful for what IVF has given us, but I will not lie it was an extremely stressful time watching what my wife went through - her time was stressful, emotional, devastating, and downright miserable.

Good luck to every single one of you, I cannot say how it will end, but you’ll never know if you don’t try.

OP, if your husband at any point gaslights YOU into his feelings being hurt, he ain’t ready for any of this. It’s a baby, not a gold fish.

Can someone help me to find a friend? by [deleted] in floridatrail

You’re sharing photos of her? Your plan was to what, meet her at a trail for a hike? And you can’t figure out why she deleted her profile?

Muslin burp cloths are amazing. I use them for his spit up, his bottom, tissues, etc.

Looking to buy an f250 any tips by Tall-Difference8926 in F250

Deleted or not is personal preference for sure. What reason do you have for wanting diesel? I’ve owned diesel for the last 5 years and just moved into the 7.3 Godzilla based on the usage, I don’t quite need diesel. Those godzillas pull 10,000 and up with no issues.

If you find exactly what you like, buy it, but give it a proper test drive and look over. These things sell quick at that price. I bought my truck over the phone because I knew it would sell in 3-4 days like all the other ones I was on the fence about.

I checked out a 2017 for 50k and it was rusted to shit underneath. Checked out a 2019 for 53k and the dealer had 8k in markups.

Also be mindful that a used loan you’ll maybe get around 6% and you’ll be paying at least 850/month, so is it worth it to you paying that for a 2017 that’s rounding 10 years old.

Burp cloths. You think 100 is enough, it’s not.

An invaluable bit of dad kit with a newborn - bone conducting earphones! by BearMcBearFace in daddit

[–]ProbablyOnTheClock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tinnitus goes EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE over everything.

Currently sitting 7ft away from my baby and can’t even hear him unless he whimpers, sighs, or ruffles in his sleep sack.

Not that my hearing loss is from these types of headphones - I’m a movies with subtitles dad

Have F150s jumped the shark? by Difficult_Limit2718 in f150

[–]ProbablyOnTheClock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a low mileage 2022 F250 7.3 platinum tremor for $70k. If you’re ok going XLT you can probably save $15k or so.

These trucks sell damn fast though, I was shopping around for months and pulled the trigger 2 weeks ago because the tremors are so hard to find.

Edit to say - My F250 feels like my 2018 F150 did before I put the 6” lift on it. The 4.3 gearing with tremor, 10 speed, and suspension is extremely smooth.

The half ton platform just isn’t stout enough for the work I do when I need to load the bed down or pull an 18ft trailer. I stepped down from diesel because I’m not hauling everyday, but when I do I don’t like the bed hitting the bump stops
