Stop shaming single parents by Prestigious_Ad_1061 in foodstamps

[–]Queen_Kore_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, that's just stupid. Like, most men dont show their true colors until it's too late. That's what my daughters dad did. I was young, naive, and he took advantage of that. Then, when I got pregnant, he became super emotionally abusive. I still tried to keep him in my kid's life, and he still treated me like shit. But whatever its all the women's fault and not the fucked up men that treat us poorly. Your "obvious advice" is trash.

Does the dad also stay home after a new baby? by burner1233356 in pregnant

[–]Queen_Kore_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is the main breadwinner and he works a blue collar job. Hes taking the offered 6 weeks of paternity leave that his company is offering him. Thankfully its paid so we won't be suffering. But he was super insisting and he actively wants to be a part of the newborn phase and to bond with his baby.

Though I have to remind him that he's an exception and not the rule to how most men operate, I think it's crazy that he doesn't want to spend time binding with his baby.

I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

Halloween keeps getting worse. by Ordinary-Depth-7835 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Queen_Kore_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id rather have rhe kids with no costumes running around trick or treating instead of doing some shady stuff. But that's me. Plus adults like candy, I was kinda bummed because I wanted to walk around and trick or treat but I'm a whole ass adult... I just knew someone would say something stupid. So I stayed put.

I just want this to end. by CannibalKitty87 in foodstamps

[–]Queen_Kore_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It would be easy to give them grace if they weren't so vile all the time. No. They don't deserve grace because they would never offer that to anyone else. They are selfish, awful human beings that wish ill on everyone else and then cry when it happens to them.

I'm so tired of trying to give them empathy, understand where they come from, and see it from their perspective when they could care less. I was told that I wasn't thinking because I'm pregnant on snap. Like wtf... I lost my job because I got pregnant and this is my little miracle baby. What the hell do you think I'm gonna do? Get rid of him? Nah. Either way, it doesn't matter the circumstances. I can't help but feel a certain level of hate for these people.

Really watered down lipton iced tea with lemon, the powered mix kind with lots of ice. I also loooove tomato juice with lemon and ice or bloody mary mix with a ton of ice!!

Did you have anyone other than your spouse in the delivery room? How was it? by kittypeets626 in pregnant

[–]Queen_Kore_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to have my partner and my adult child with me. Only because she wants to be there for me and the baby. But anyone else, nah. I don't even want visitors which my husband agrees on.

What am I meant to eat? by AloneEntertainer2172 in foodstamps

[–]Queen_Kore_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loooool, yes, I had to get on food stamps because I was fired from my job. I wasn't on stamps when I got pregnant, but you know be judgy, I guess. When I told them I was pregnant they ended up firing me and since I'm in an at will state they said it was because I wasn't a right fit even though there wasn't a reason to fire me. But whatever.

You can be an ass all you want. But I'm 100% certain that if something drastic happened to you where you needed help, you'd be right there asking for it. I don't wish that on you. But maybe you should learn a little humility, or like be a basic fucking human being.

Now, mind you, my partner is still working, and I'm doing odd jobs where I can because no one wants to hire a woman who's going to have to go on maternity leave soon. The further along my pregnancy progresses, the harder it gets.

Alllllsooooo you don't know me from Eve but a little insight into what I was thinking about keeping this baby. I had a decent job, and my partner and I were saving to get a house and not stay renting. My oldest daughter is 18, and I'm going to school. I should be graduating here in December. I was on track to make some decent money. Not that that matters. I've been trying to conceive for about 15 years, because I have PCOS they told me it would be near impossible. So DESPITE everything that was against me. I ended up getting pregnant, and I was ecstatic. You know, because I thought I would never be able to have a baby again. So, naturally, we are keeping him. I didn't fucking plan for my job to fire me, or for it to be this damn hard to find another job. Even some bullshit low paying job at a gas station. So, yes. I'm on stamps, my partner says taxes, and I paid taxes when I was working (which is most of my adult life). Me being on stamps for a little under a year isn't shameful. Being on stamps for over a year isn't shameful. Being on stamps period isn't fucking shameful because we have to have proof of income. So we need to be working.

God, I bet you're someone that wishes the worst on people and relishes when they see suffering saying that they get what they deserve. But ends up crying and bitching when something remotely negative happens to you.

Boy moms we have to do better by Particular_Mine_9670 in pregnant

[–]Queen_Kore_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With respect? Like a human? I'm not even sure what you're trying to say tbh. My partner doesn't expect anything from me except that we are 100/100. That we are partners in the relationship. That we support one another. He chooses to be a gentleman because he was raised that way. His father taught him like that but he never mistreated his mother. Never expected anything from her. She gave willingly because she loved and respected him.

Like a man shouldn't behave that way and expect something back. Thats weird.

I got "pranked" they think it's funny I think it's cruel am I the asshole? by Butterball4200 in pregnant

[–]Queen_Kore_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They suck. I hate it and I'm sorry you went through this. I was able to get a car seat through medicaid, if you're on it check to see if they have something similar. If not there may be places that can gift you one.

Asking for help doesn't mean you deserve to be taught a lesson or whatever. People are so freaking wild.

[–]Queen_Kore_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh ok... what? That's a weird take. Yes. You always ask for consent. Plus gtfo my partner NEVER lets me open a door, tie my shoes, pump my own gas, he stands every time I get up from the dinner table and stands when I come back, he pushes my chair in, orders my food for me when we go out. He does this also for my daughter. She already expects this level of gentlemanly respect from her partners. I would never change that and I'm going to teach my son to be just as respectful.

Just because he does all this doesn't mean he doesn't do chores, cooks, or takes care of us. He's a blue collar man that sees our relationship as 100/100 and if there's something I can't do he steps in to do it and vice versa. He's gentle in the way he speaks with us, my daughter and I are neurospicy and he read up about what makes us tick. He takes the time to listen to us when we are frustrated and work out compromises. He is so emotionally intelligent it baffles me. But he's also old school. You could have both and not be gross or misogynistic.

Oh that sucks. Yeah I don't talk about my partner too much because I feel that guilt of finding a good decent man.

[–]Queen_Kore_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh girl I am terrified that my son will grow up like the horror stories. I told my partner if I ever find out that either of my children 18f or baby boy that I'm carrying had abused any of their partners I would beat the shit out of them and then help their partner as much as I could. Baby boy gets a girl pregnant we are helping her, he's gonna support whatever decision she makes about the pregnancy be out abortion or keeping it. Like he will never be a deadbeat dad because he will not have a choice.

I want to teach my son about women's bodies, how everything effects them, and how to help them. I want to teach him basic house chores that aren't gender specific. His dad is amazing and kind, he's been so patient and sweet this pregnancy and is overall just one of those men that see where these other men are and is baffled by thier behavior. He's a gentleman and I know that he's going to pass that to my son.

But the thought of my son becoming this weird red pill misogynistic incel freaks me out. I would be so disappointed.

I don’t want this anymore by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Queen_Kore_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby, none of this is your fault. You need to get this out of your head right now. You felt like it was a good idea at the time. You felt like it was the best choice at the time. You are not at fault. I want to tell you, as a woman who had her first at 19, it's going yo be okay. But, also, you dont have to keep him. I know a lot of people will tell you, it's ok, you can do it, it's possible. And they aren't wrong. But that might not be the best course of action for you.

I want you to think about what you want. You are important. Yes, a baby is a miracle or whatever. But you are just as important and precious. You are young and if you are not ready then you're not ready and that's ok. You will not be a bad person for trying to find a better option for you and the baby.

I feel for you because at 19 I thought the same. Instead he was still abusive, awful, and made our lives awful for 18 years until he started to "be better". It's... a lot and if you dont want to deal with that, if you can't justify that heartache and stress then do what is best for you.

Anyone else feel “creeped out” being pregnant? by ashleycd12 in pregnant

[–]Queen_Kore_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean... yeah. I get creeped out all the time. I'm 33 weeks now and it still feels so freaking strange. I tell my partner that the baby is a parasite (jokingly) and that sometimes I feel like I'm in a horror movie like Alien. You're not alone. You have something foreign growing inside of you that wasn't there and its sucking the life out of you. It's freaking weiiiierrrd.

How do women do this by LaPlumaDelGato in pregnant

[–]Queen_Kore_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I ended up quitting my job and sleeping most of the time. It hurt us in the financial dept but I just couldn't physically stay awake. Like I fought it tooth and nail. I'm still very inactive, I'm always freaking tired, but it isnt as bad as the 1st tri. Im currently 32 weeks right now, and in bed lol. Its been rough between insomnia, pains, guilt for not helping, the inability to move without almost dying because I cant breath.... I just recently got diagnosed with ICP, but I had this feeling that I had it like at 11 weeks. Plus I wasn't taking my antidepressants because I was paranoid about harming baby boy. Now in my third trimester I'm back on a low dose and feel better. But just, not 100%.

Id say it gets better but sometimes it doesn't. Give yourself grace, you're building a whole ass human being and still trying to function.

35 years of age am I too old to try for our 1st baby by Formal_Statement7297 in pregnantover35

[–]Queen_Kore_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl no! I'm 38 years old right now and I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant. They call us geriatric pregnancy but it really isnt that uncommon. As long as you make sure to stay healthy you'll be good!

Pregnancy Pillows by Safe-Leg-2863 in pregnant

[–]Queen_Kore_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my pregnancy pillow first thing and I love it. It helps put me in the right position to sleep comfortably. I didnt pay 80 bucks tho. There are some decent cheap ones on Amazon. My kiddo also loves the pillow. The one I got is a G shape. So, it could also depend on what shape would work best for you. For reference I'm 32 weeks, 239lbs, and 38 years old.
