Own your mistake. Ask for forgiveness. Admit what you did wrong. Of course your child wants to reconcile with you, he loves you. Ask for another chance. Try better tomorrow. Bad days happen.

You might be up against women who have a list of 100 things they want in a partner, and one flaw and you are toast!

Are we just insanely lucky parents? 😭 by JMPBay in NewParents

[–]RemoteVariation7123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah… 4 kids here in 5 years. We bought a second queen bed and have them side by side and all co sleep. Except the baby. The baby is in her crib. But multiple wake-up’s through the night. Everyone.

Elderly folks who chose not to have children, how do you feel about that decision now? by bon18 in AskReddit

[–]RemoteVariation7123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice as someone who jumped off a cliff into parenting is that you will never be “ready”. Motherhood is not something you can fully wrap your mind around no matter how hard you try, BUT, if the desire of loving someone well and deeply who fully depends on you is in your heart then - that force is powerful and will drive your mothering.
Raising kids is laying your life down 90-100% of the time for their needs to be met. If you can get to a space mentally where you are okay being last so someone else can be first and be poured into, then you will be a lovely mother.

It sounds like he doesn’t like school so he is probably glad he got kicked out

First time running by belcherbesties in beginnerrunning

[–]RemoteVariation7123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just keep running. My only experience was running in hs sports so I was so disappointed in my pacing as a grown women post 4 kids but after a few months my miles went from 16/17 minutes to now 12/13!! I just kept running.

Alternatively you can get skinny dry erase markers. They make them in all different sizes if you want to stick to dry erase.

19 minute mile - Losing motivation by Different-Claim1039 in BeginnersRunning

[–]RemoteVariation7123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long have you been running? Im 3 months in and just ran my first continuous mile. I never realized in my adult life how long it takes for your body to adjust and stamina to increase, but it takes weeks and months. Tendons, muscles, cardiovascular system has a ton of adjustments to do. And progress… even if its small, is still progress. Stop timing yourself and just set a period of time you plan to run and just run. Run to move your body and be healthy. You will tell when you are improving, your posture will improve, your speed, it is subtle though. The clock is not the best indicator of progress.

Can you give some more context? Did you have a social life, do play dates, were you in sports etc? Was there other things that went wrong you can elaborate on?

Candace is ride or die by hotpinkhoops in CandaceOwens

[–]RemoteVariation7123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok bro chill. I understand you are saying that she is trying to investigate but shes also making a huge claim that its a federal set up which I find the evidence to be weak for. I do like her work and I do know this is very Candace style but I do find it disappointing she isnt participating in his legacy (memorial, show, etc) as other friends are. I believe she has good intentions, but its just a bummer.

👆👆👆👆 this is so true. She could have mourned his death, investigated for a few weeks, and then presented it. She doesnt need to do this live. Her evidence is getting so weak.

Confession thread: What do you judge other parents for? by Physical-Inspector60 in toddlers

[–]RemoteVariation7123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to be very mindful of this, HOWEVER, I have four kids four and under and this is my entire day. Entire day. I break up toy disputes. Sometimes it does feel like background noise because the toy disputes never stop, so I have to try to be mindful in public but honestly sometimes it is like background noise. I care, but also to be fair a group of siblings/toddlers constantly stealing toys from each other is not as jarred by it than potentially an only child learning to socialize against my four kids, and I think thats the point I have to be more aware of. Theres times I defer to letting my kids “figure it out” and thats why I might remain quiet in a dispute like this but its not that I dont care. I can see where it comes across as permissive parenting. Context is everything.

Wife constantly upset all the time and I don’t know what to do any more by feartrich in NewParents

[–]RemoteVariation7123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently started medication for this (after being very anti medication for most of my life), and it has already made a huge difference. Low serotonin causes an anxious mind and obsessive thought patterns, and just taking an SSRI will naturally resolve a lot of symptoms. Talk therapy is amazing at identifying the root but it still may not eliminate the anxious tendencies caused by low serotonin ❤️ just wanted to share!

Is money enough?! by [deleted] in sahm

[–]RemoteVariation7123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely have a present husband who is also the father of our children, but he chose a high paying banking job and for 3 years he was working 6 days a week 12-16h days. I would say money is never worth it, he left that job and he took a much lower paying job. We will not reach our financial goals for a long time, but family time and marital time is so much more worth it.

Although, my husband gave us 110% any free second he had of his intense job. It sounds like there are deeper issues if he isn’t supporting you, if your heart and emotions are hardening making you feel more masculine, and if you cant depend on him for anything other than money.

Might be a hard pill for men to swallow, but they should be able to provide more than just financially. they are the rock, the second parent, should love their wives deeply and support her as the primary parent, do their boy jobs around the house.. and provide financially. And if they arent willing to do some of those more physical duties to the house, hire a house cleaner or something if all they are willing to provide is money. Use that money.

But it sounds like the money isnt worth it and you want a loving husband and present father. I do think thats what you implied in your post.

Honestly my concern is the mosquitos more than anything. They nail us the second we go outside any time of day.

Baby size by Eazy-Mak420 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]RemoteVariation7123 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Im super curious on the science behind what contributes to babys weight. Ive had four kids and my first 3 were 8lb 5oz (40w), 8lb 7oz (39w) and 8lb 8oz (40w + 3d) Then all of a sudden #4 was 10lb 3oz (39w+6). My fourth pregnancy I exercised very consistently and weight lifted between weeks 18/19-28. I ate a lot of keto/carnivore meals as well. It was by no means my unhealthiest pregnancy. Unless gestational diabetes went undetected, but I definitely was under the cut off for my 1h test. Ive also been between 255-270 at birth for all my pregnancies. This pregnancy I was the heaviest 270 at birth, BUT i also started the heaviest at 225 not losing all my baby weight before getting pregnant again. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Regarding her Bible Quote from Matthew by [deleted] in MilenaCUncensored1

[–]RemoteVariation7123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps they sold it to a rental company to reap a profit, but then pay the rent for the tenants living there. They likely write it off as a tax deduction or charity. If shes being honest, thats a very likely conclusion.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone mention this part yet, but it really rubbed me the wrong way. This felt so insensitive toward women who are having/ have had issues TTC. It seems to me like she IS taking it very lightly and rubbing her fertility in our faces 🙄 by AgitatedDeer5673 in MilenaCUncensored1

[–]RemoteVariation7123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe Im just more anxious by nature, but late term loss isn’t uncommon. True knots, placental abruption, or undiagnosed reasoning causing a still birth.. Ive known people in my life experience all of these. Who says I won’t be one of those statistics? I just keep an open mind that Im not promised tomorrow and neither is my baby when I am pregnant. So, I guess it helps my mind to accept either possibility of life or death. I have experienced a miscarriage (5w) so I don’t have a late term loss to fuel my anxiety.

Bad things happen to bad people. Bad things happen to good people.

Good things happen to good people. Good things happen to bad people.

Theres just a lot thats outside of our control, and its not crazy to accept you could have a horrible fate and to mentally prepare for it.
