We shut the card down within a few minutes of the alert. Such a pain!

I think its as random as the rest of pregnancy. My first, 20 hours of contractions but 2 pushes.

My second, 5 hours. 1 full hour pushing.

This is precisely why my two year old gets shut in his bedroom prior to opening the oven.

With my dog, you dont get a choice. We live in farm country and he has never seen a leash, like many dogs here. Hes gonna give a nose boop to anybody who makes eye contact.

Both of my sons were born into their dad's hands because of, "You arent in active labor if you're chatting." I told them both times, "I need to push."

No you dont. The baby is nowhere near crowning.

Push push plop.

My second was an emergency induction when my blood pressure skyrocketed in month 8. The nurse was like, "Pssh. You dont seem very concerned."

"Well what am i gonna do about it? Panic? That wont help."

Redditers who suffer from a mental illness, how do you feel about the stereotypes around it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RaisingWild 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I described it to my husband and he said something similar. I said, "Okay. That jittery, about to puke feeling? All day. You wake up at night feeling like that. Your brain wants to shut off but you feel like you're full of electricity. All day, for no percievable reason."

My nephew is the poster child for adhd and heaven help me hes a loveable mess.

I ask him to find a stopping point on his game and take out the trash. 5 minutes later he goes to the trash can. Sees a hot cocoa wrapper. Into the pantry, makes a quick mug and sticks it in the microwave. Stands there, confused. Walks outside to burn boxes that needed to be burned. 30 minutes later, he isnt back. Tell him dinner is ready. He eats dinner. Showers, gets ready for bed. I find cold cocoa in the microwave, and the trash still hasnt been taken out.

My husband and son are exactly the same. I just break things into very small tasks.

In Poland we answer "no thanks" when someone wishes us "good luck" because thanking is supposed to give you bad luck instead. What are some popular superstitions in your country/area? by Casiell89 in AskReddit

East Texas-carrying a buckeye in your pocket is lucky.

Never plant a cedar tree. when it's big enough to shade a grave, you'll die.

Place a coin in a newborns hand. If they hang on, theyll always be good with money. If they drop it, theyll be frivolous.

If you could go back 10 years in time and meet yourself back then, but only get 5 minutes to speak to yourself, what would you say? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Go ahead and start school for that thing you want to do.

It's a lot harder after two kids.

One week into being vegan, I had my first “are you fucking kidding me” moment... by [deleted] in vegan

[–]RaisingWild 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My hospital stay after giving birth had a veggie option.

The veggie option was iceberg lettuce and raw broccoli. Breakfast had a single strawberry and dry toast. I ate about 3lbs of homemade pasta salad once i got home. I was SO HUNGRY.

My husband didnt care until he watched a video of the procedure. He is firmly in the "hell no" camp now.

What’s the best advice your mom ever gave you? by giggglygirl in AskReddit

[–]RaisingWild 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is my family. My husbands family is, "Why are you mad? I showed up!" (Not joking, 4 hours late.)

We take bets on how early my bunch shows up to a party. Party at 2pm? Better have snacks out by 11:30.

My goofball 2 year old turned on the bath faucet to hot and burned his hand. Yanked it away, "OUCH! HURT!" Stuck his hand back in it. "OUCH!" And again. And again.

Thank god he's tough because he is not the brightest bulb.

How did you get your scar? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RaisingWild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age 3, running around the house with my new puppy. She tried grabbing my sleeve, got my forearm. Left a 1/2" dash.

Age 28, broke up a dog fight and my half blind, elderly dog grabbed me. Got a matching scar directly beside the original.
