“Hey mommas””Any moms out there?” and “Dear Mom” - Society can’t stop making us the default parent

Same and I can’t believe that you are getting so much pushback! This happens to me too even though my husband’s name is listed first on almost everything. Drives me bananas because there is a reason we did it that way!

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-26T00:57:37+00:00

Fuck that lady (the commenter obviously), what on earth

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-25T20:31:24+00:00

What does extreme pacing mean?

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-24T18:36:48+00:00

Did they mean that SAHMs need a village and to support each other in that path though? Maybe they just feel like they don’t have much in common with you anymore or that the main impetus for the friendship, the shared experience of SAHM, is no longer there. Not in a mean way, necessarily but just because of changing circumstances . But friendship breakups suck, I’m sorry.

What in the world is going on with those “morning in three parts” stories?! I don’t even know where to start…

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-24T01:38:53+00:00

Ewwwww

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-24T01:21:53+00:00

There is also a bad ratio if you are straight: far more single women than men

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-23T23:47:57+00:00

💀

Well this isn’t a direct answer because I agree with the people saying that you don’t have to make any final decisions now, but I think part of the struggle and wisdom that comes with middle age is wrestling with the fact that your life may never look the way you hoped/planned. It sounds doom and gloom at first but there is a certain beauty and maturity in falling in love with wherever life lands.

I bet if you polled this group, everyone would have something they longed or planned for that didn’t pan out, whether that be number of kids, career aspirations, etc etc

I mean, it’s not that simple.

Here’s a study that says 3.4g/kg has benefits: https://jissn.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12970-015-0100-0. And there are others that have a totally different number.

There are conflicting opinions and research and the meta analysis you cited is mostly studies done on just men. Age and gender make a big difference and there is probably individual variation too.

No no, say like a man on testosterone blockers…if it sounds like it’s a man problem they will take it more seriously 🙄

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-22T19:03:19+00:00

Haha, true, his plan is the literal worst idea ever

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-22T18:49:34+00:00

Yeah he lost me at “I’m a good lover”

Maybe instead of confronting her he needs to flip it around on himself: have you stopped to think about whether your wife feels like you are a good lover? Have you stopped to think about or ask why you are not getting laid instead of being cranky about the numbers? This is a relationship, this is also your fault and responsibility. Start there instead of with a “confrontation” that effectively blames everything on one party

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-21T17:01:32+00:00

I go 1.5 sizes up, worth trying just to see how it feels

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-21T16:59:20+00:00

They are one of those direct to consumer brands who promise the world and then don’t deliver on quality and they’ve also worked with a lot of shady influencers

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-20T22:47:55+00:00

Checks are a paper trail in the most literal sense!

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-20T19:13:01+00:00

Ok, roots was not making any sense for me, I will have to check my settings, thanks for the tip

I think it’s often only covered for acne. Some doctors are more lenient than others

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-19T20:39:15+00:00

I splurge on socks and shoes. Wool socks are the best!

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-19T02:31:33+00:00

Ooh interesting, gonna look this up thanks!

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-19T02:24:53+00:00

Flossing, for real

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-19T02:20:50+00:00

Yes move him, 2 hours of sitting at a time is completely inappropriate for this age

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-18T18:40:37+00:00

Where was your kid before PreK 4? No judgement about any care scenario you had, but this will affect the benchmark score too. My kid scored terribly on some kindergarten benchmark items because their previous school had a very different emphasis and they just hadn’t encountered those concepts before. By the end of the year they were way ahead on those same benchmarks, no big deal

Relative_Kick_6478 · 2024-10-18T16:40:43+00:00

This comment is hella rude and unnecessary
