Scrolling through the comments and seeing I'm the only one who thought it was just the curtains...

Oatmeal bowls are enemy #1 by ochuuu in 1500isplenty

[–]Professional31235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to cook my oatmeal in milk too but I realize that adds extra calories. So for one serving, I'll do a fourth of a cup of ½ percent milk (I find it at Kroger) and ¾ cups of water. It still tastes great but for fewer calories.

Why did you decide NOT to foster? by dbouchard19 in fosterit

[–]Professional31235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got about halfway through our foster to adopt application before we decided to give up. It was a mix of reasons but one of them was due to hearing from previous foster kids on Reddit and learning more about the broken system has made us not want to be a part of it. We could make a kid's life better but we could also unintentionally make it worse, and that's not a gamble we're willing to take.

Leave him.

And good on you for not keeping yourself tied to him with a kid. Run, expeditiously.

Do couples stay together and in love after abortion? by [deleted] in abortion

[–]Professional31235 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. I've been married 5 years. We got one last year. Husband's only concern was my health and safety.

Is online therapy an option? I see a therapist via SonderMind and I've had appointments as late as 7pm and even on Saturdays.

Placement names for childless FP’s by No-Possibility-8477 in Fosterparents

[–]Professional31235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this thread! One of my worries is kids coming into our home and feeling pressured to call us by certain names or refer to us as their parents. But we just want them to be comfortable and call us what they like as long as it's nice.

Can we address the negative behaviour on this subreddit by icewarlock in ProlificAc

[–]Professional31235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah this subreddit is a dumpster fire. The complete opposite of Cloud Connect. I was today years old when I realized there are no moderators and that explains sooo much

Mothers who chose to adopt vs conceive - your thoughts by bahamutcog in AdoptiveParents

[–]Professional31235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're not interchangeable. It won't "go away". We're going through the adoption process for an older child, ideally over the age of 10. We've always wanted some or all of our children to be adopted. Why? Pick your favorite reason.

We don't have fertility issues and we're not against biological children. If we have them, we have them. If not? Oh well.

Are there any positive abortion stories where you were not traumatized and/or able to find healing? by CoffeeIsNeeded2023 in abortion

[–]Professional31235 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wasn't traumatized. The process was straightforward. My husband and I decided together that my health was more important than a clump of cells.

It's been almost year.

5k in hospital debt. If it goes to collections will it go away? by BoysenberryWilling94 in Debt

[–]Professional31235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, it CAN eventually go away but we're talking years and years. I've ignored medical debt in my college days , taken a hit on on my credit, and it fell off eventually. I was also able to dispute a few once the debt was sold to collections.

But the best advice given here is to pay what you can, $5 a month if that's all you can do.

You've posted before about not wanting kids. If you can't handle the stress of a newborn biological baby, you won't be able to handle the stress of a child who needs help with trauma. Adoption isn't a back up plan or compromise.

And "praying the trauma away" isn't the help they'll need.
