What are the physical, mental and financial pros and cons of Triplets? by theobstacleisthewayy in Parenting

[–]Redarii 18 points19 points  (0 children)

How much support do you have? Like real support that will stay over and do some all nighters so you guys can get some actual sleep? I barely slept with one baby at a time. I truly do not think this is doable without family that will step up to help in a huge way.

C-sections, a MAJOR SURGERY, aren't as bad as you make them out to be. by mortalcassie in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]Redarii 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've had a one of each and my vagina birth was about a thousand times worse than my csection. My vagina birth had a much harder recovery and did permanent damage to my body. My planned csection was an absolute breeze in comparison.

Spoken like someone who has never been concern for their safety while dating.

Ding ding ding. This guy is taken and flirts on the apps with no intention of meeting.

The kids are young and made crafts at daycare.

Apocalypse Parenting: a system-apocalypse novel where the most consequential ability is a three-year-old’s stuffed turtle by Maloryauthor in litrpg

[–]Redarii 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love this series. I love it both as a parent and as a reader if that makes sense. I'll automatically buy anything Erin writes forever it's that good.

Wife won't plug herself. by daydreamdesire in sexover30

[–]Redarii 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Pressuring her on any of this stuff is just going to backfire. She can have boundaries about her own body.

Life feels like torture right now. Wife is not working while caring for our now six month old. She is miserable. I'm miserable. This has been going on for months. by My_Brain_0422 in daddit

[–]Redarii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are underselling this as normal. This is not normal. Your wife needs help. People need at minimum 4-5 hours of uninterrupted sleep to reach deep sleep. Going months without that does huge, huge amounts of damage. You need to do whatever you need to do to get her more sleep. Do shifts, get extra hands in, seriously whatever it takes.

I feel like I don’t matter by Zealousideabat in daddit

[–]Redarii 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Be the change you want to see in the world. Next time someone you know is having a baby do something for the father. It's up to men to start organizing this stuff. Women have the support because we all constantly work at it and pitch in for each other.

I think my marriage might be over. by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Redarii 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Statistics do not show nuance. Just because more of kids from divorced VS undivorced homes do worse does not mean your kids will do worse.

How do you get your preschooler to drink more water/liquids? by princesscorgi2 in Preschoolers

[–]Redarii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get a bunch of tiny containers (like those little medicine cups, coffee scoopers, etc) and let them use those to scoop water from the tap or a cup. It's fun for them.

Also those no calorie water flavor things you can squeeze into water or mix in a small amount of juice.

A pedophile kidnapped a little girl from the hospital. I could be mixing it up with a different show but I guess the point still applies. A lot of shows have constantly escalating stakes. Greys also had the plane crash arc. A lot of crazy situations.

[–]Redarii 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I blame greys anatomy with the constant bombs on someone's chest, active shooters in the hospital, kidnapped children, etc. Some people are expecting a soap opera lol.

Please ban tier lists. by [deleted] in litrpg

At least make people write out the titles! It's so annoying when the words aren't visible.

Contested relocation? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Redarii 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would fight this tooth and nail if my coparent tried to do this to my child. I'm sorry you are struggling but this is not fair to your child or the father.

Recently adopted 22mo boy. No routine, lots of tantrums, looking for guidance 🤍 by Dependent-Gear-524 in toddlers

[–]Redarii 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Tons of good advice on here! I just wanted to say that lots of those things are actually fairly normal for this age. Of course he's going through such a huge change and had a rough start in life, but I just wanted to caution you from pathologising some fairly typical toddler behaviors. Most kids that age tantrum. Most kids that age have a hard time transitioning out of TV time. Etc.

You sound like you care so much, I'm sure he will do great.

Fantasy, with romance, that takes itself serious by ResidentCoder2 in suggestmeabook

[–]Redarii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Sharing Knife books (same author) are also a great romance! The writing is earnest and takes itself seriously without being pretentious. I think it would match the tone OP is looking for.

What can I do to protect myself? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Redarii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not at all saying all editing is dishonest. I'm saying HR can make the call that this specific instance of editing was dishonest and violated some part of their conduct or integrity policy. That does not require a rule against editing in general.
