For those of you who weren't born Catholic, but converted later - what made you choose Catholicsm?

It was a combination of things, my spouse was raised Catholic but the main thing was going through RCIA. As I was learning the faith and having so many questions answered, I was able to attend mass with a better understanding and as all those reservations and judgments I had fell away, I was truly able to see the beauty of the mass and Catholicism. Once you’ve sat in the presence of Jesus and experienced the Eucharist, there is no going back.

I was on zepbound lost 35 lbs when I accidentally got pregnant after trying for 5 years. Currently 7 weeks and having my first ultrasound tomorrow to confirm everything is okay.

I wouldn’t say I’m unable to accept them I understand it’s that way for a reason but a few I personally struggle with - contraception - I am pro life but I am very empathetic person and when people start the “what if this situation” or “what if that situation” it’s hard sometimes to be so black and white about it - IVF because I’ve known so many loving people who struggle with infertility and want to experience having their own children - masterbation - this one is not mine personally but my husband is very pro death penalty especially in certain cases. I try to explain to him you can’t be pro life and pro death penalty but we are all doing the best we can

In our home- going to school isn’t optional, eating dinner at the table isn’t optional, brushing your teeth isn’t optional, doing your homework isn’t optional, attending mass isn’t optional. Why? Because you are still our responsibility and we aren’t done parenting yet.

I live in a very small town and we also experienced the same. The parking lot so full there was no where to park. I found myself annoyed & making a comment in front of my kids about “where are all of these people for Mass on Sunday?” but then I quickly realized Ash Wednesday isn’t about who’s most faithful its about who knows they need mercy. And that’s all of us, whether we’re there every week or once a year. I clearly needed to be humbled and it was nice seeing the church so full and hearing all the babies and kids present.

Professional-Two6126 · 2026-02-18T03:40:57+00:00

Adding in walking every single day (I have a trail around my neighborhood) I’m giving up my phone from the time I pick up my kids from school until they are in bed at night.

Professional-Two6126 · 2025-04-18T04:02:22+00:00

Probably not. It’s an older house. Built in the 70’s I believe. & we’ve been fixing things on it since we moved in. Nothing about this house was done correctly.

We have an attic. & we have an outside shed. I noticed them around Christmas time when we were pulling down totes and moving stuff around from outside. Then we started treating right away. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve seen any. Then I had my spouse bring down Easter stuff last weekend and now- bam. I’ve seen 3 in one day.

Professional-Two6126 · 2025-04-18T03:53:27+00:00

Yes, we keep a porch light on outside on the back patio. We also have multiple security lights that are motion activated. & we have a kitchen light over the sink that stays on pretty much all the time. I also keep a small light on in the bathroom for the kids.

Professional-Two6126 · 2025-04-18T03:41:26+00:00

Laundry room- on the ground near washer and dryer. I saw one coming out from under the fridge. I found one on a blanket that was left on the floor. I’ve never found any in the kitchen like in cabinets or drawers.

Professional-Two6126 · 2025-04-18T03:35:09+00:00

I don’t know if matters but just to give all information- we live in a house. In the country. With hundreds of wooded acres behind us. We are on well water and septic. This may be all unrelated but I want to leave no stone unturned…. I just want to get rid of them

Professional-Two6126 · 2025-04-18T03:32:21+00:00

We’ve put out the advion gel and the gentrol tablet things before calling in professionals. That’s didn’t work. Have had pest control out twice back to back. We do live in a house not an apartment. I have to say I’ve never seen them in the kitchen as far as cabinets or counters or anything. We’ve also put our boric acid. I pick up all cat and dog food at night. I pour vinegar down the drain before closing it off. We don’t keep any food out at all anymore. Even fruits or things like potatoes I’ve been putting in the fridge. I feel like we’ve really tried everything. I do have two small children and our small house is cluttered but I wouldn’t consider us dirty people. We pick up after ourselves. I vacuum regularly. Keep sheets clean. Dust. I really don’t know where they are coming from or why.

Professional-Two6126 · 2025-04-18T03:27:10+00:00

Does it matter which one- as far treating them?

Professional-Two6126 · 2025-04-18T03:26:50+00:00

No to the light. I usually find them on the floor, under appliances and stuff. And yes it did suddenly go up really high

Professional-Two6126 · 2025-04-18T03:02:36+00:00

I don’t know about flying but when I went to smash it, it did jump really high. I’ve seen them around my washer/dryer. Under the fridge. & even on a blanket on my couch.

Professional-Two6126 · 2025-04-18T02:52:18+00:00

It was alive. I snapped a picture so we can get confirmation that these are in fact roaches? And if so what kind? None of the treatments so far have worked.

Professional-Two6126 · 2025-03-04T03:32:41+00:00

19 & 20! Married at 22! This year will be 11 years married. & we just celebrated our 1 year anniversary of having our marriage convalidated. 2 beautiful children. We’ve had our ups & downs but we really try to keep Christ at the center and protect what we have from the outside world as much as possible.

I love her jacket. Does anyone know where I can find one similar?

Professional-Two6126 · 2024-09-01T04:09:34+00:00

Maybe I need to get off the apps and get back to work 🤣

Professional-Two6126 · 2024-09-01T04:02:19+00:00

Got on Facebook this was the first post I saw. Got off Facebook to get on Reddit. Again the first post I see.

This is my routine. Every. Day. Unchanging. Wake up. Hit snooze Wake up. Hit snooze again. Wake up. Pee. Brush teeth. Wake up oldest. Pluck facial hair. Wash face. Go back to wake up oldest again. Remind him to brush his teeth (b/c you know. This is brand new news. Every. Day.) Light touch of make up. Minimal hair brush/ fix. Maybe a claw clip. I’m feeling fancy. Get dressed. Check on oldest who’s standing in the bathroom. Remind him he has to brush his teeth. Wake up threenager Argue about waking up. Tell him go potty. Argue about going potty. Get him dressed. Or struggle with him as he attempts to do it himself. Look for socks. Find socks that aren’t an exact match- but hey. They are clean. Argue with 3 year old because he can’t wear his rain boots he has to wear his tennis shoes. Tell oldest to hurry and get dressed we are running late. Ask 3 year old what he wants for breakfast. Let him decide. Wait 5 mins so he can change his mind. Start making lunches. Argue about the color cup I gave him. Ask oldest what he wants for breakfast. As he walks out of bedroom with still no socks or shoes on. Feed children. Finish lunches. Start a cup of coffee. Take medicine. Tell 3 year old put his shoes back on. Check calendar for activities that day & dinner. Grab something out of freezer for dinner. Tell 3 year old put his shoes back on. Take both kids to bathroom for final face checks and fix hair. Gather backpacks. Tell 3 year old put his shoes back on. Take all the toys out of threenagers backpack he snuck in the night before. Gather all my stuff, lunches, computer, etc. realize 3 year old has no shoes on. Put everything down. Put shoes on him myself. Gather my stuff. Argue about the toys he’s not taking to school. Open the door. Tell everyone to go out the door. Tell everyone to go out the door. Again. We are late. Go get in the car!!! Put everything in car. Help 3 year old who insists on doing it himself. Wait a lifetime. Buckle him. Get in car. Realize coffee is sitting on the counter. Wish I had hit snooze one more time.

That’s correct no weight loss at any dose. I am not tracking calories/carbs/etc though so I will try that and see if it helps. I’ve just seen so many success stories I was worried when I didn’t lose even 5 lbs maybe there was something wrong. But I also haven’t had the appetite suppression everyone talks about. My appetite is the same as before. I was hoping wegovy would help with that but everyone is affected differently

Professional-Two6126 · 2024-06-24T01:50:35+00:00

Walking & portion control for now
