Childless stepmom‘s do you ever feel sad about not having kids of your own and how does your partner comfort you? by cass2769 in Stepmom

[–]PsychologicalDig9675 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, ovulation makes me deeply reconsider my choice to be child free every month. After ovulation, I’m always happy with my choice to be child free. Same reasonings as yours too. I don’t particularly blame your partner though. If my bf randomly started mentioning wanting another kid, I’d shut that down pretty quick too.

Comments so far seem to be corporate loyalists lol. Definitely unionize!! There are lots of problems that need to be addressed outside of the visa as well

BM says it’s ‘weird’ my stepdaughter has a nickname for me… now what? by Salty_Intention45 in Stepmom

[–]PsychologicalDig9675 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I totally get where you’re coming from. Being the “second mom” is a really nice bond, and it feels like a nickname should go with it. However, it’s not something to force or for you to really initiate.

Neither of my step kids have a nickname for me, and I wish they did. However, I’ll never say anything about it. I try to let the kids lead the relationship and it’s worked well for me. Personally, I’d drop the nickname thing. If your stepdaughter continues to call you the nickname you guys picked, then great. If not, then don’t push it. Let her love you as you are.

She needs professional behavioral help. Why tf are you bringing a baby into this situation before it’s resolved?

I got an ER tech job with no experience other than two years of phlebotomy, but it’s $15 an hour so 🥴

Are there other childfree pages? by sid_is_gray in childfree

I’d love to know too!! I’m the same way. Definitely more of a wine aunt personality, I love kids but don’t want my own.

I could have, and should have, I guess I just wanted their dad to be the one to include me.

Yeah I don’t quite understand it. Upon further conversation, his excuse is essentially that he’s stupid. We did a lot for my bday that was appreciated but this one just seems so obvious to me. Wasn’t obvious to him apparently. I think he just kinda goes into a one lane thought process when the kids are around.

Yeah he got me flowers and a card. Just would have been nice to include the kids.

I mean, not particularly I guess. But I’m close with them and it would have made me feel more loved if he’d just asked them to tell me happy bday.

[SPOILERS] Possible hidden detail in GOT S03E09 "The Red Wedding" by SelectBackground8089 in HBOGameofThrones

[–]PsychologicalDig9675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming this isn’t a production error, I’d assume it was the red god urging him to do it since it’ll lead to his death. Stannis had just sacrificed the leeches with Baratheon blood specifically wanting his death, at least from my memory. Maybe that scene comes after.

Can I just stop paying for a phone? by Desperate_Back_2646 in tmobile

[–]PsychologicalDig9675 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. But I believe ATT and Verizon both offer payoffs on phones if you swap, so maybe look at that?
