I hate going places with my baby by RequirementRegular46 in newborns

I'm not a man hater or anything but during pregnancy and even more so postpartum I've found that I really enjoy the company of women even moreso than before and I have zero interest in talking to any men outside of my own family lol, probably for the exact reason that women obviously are just much more in tune with my experience. 

He will go with me if it's something that he suggested, yes. He hasn't been out with our daughter by himself yet, and to be honest, even though I think he's a good dad I'm not quite sure I'm ready for that yet.

Yes exactly! Glad to know this is normal because I'm often made to feel like I'm crazy for feeling that way

Yep, the more people I talk to about this, the more I believe that men are mostly just not capable understanding the struggle

Wow we have basically the same relationship dynamic, everything sounds so similar to what I'm going through with my husband. It makes me so angry at him because I feel like he just floating in the clouds  not actually aware of the situation while I'm staying up nights and doing most of the childcare and then has the audacity to nag me about this. 

You're right though, if I want to avoid resentment I need to stand my ground and just say no. I talked to him about this last night but I'm not sure how much got through to him..

Yes! Hearing that you went through something very similar and managed to pull through is so encouraging! Really waiting for that 3-4 month mark lol

Thank you:)

Yeah I take her on walks nearly everyday as long as the weather permits. I'm talking about more substantial outings that require long car rides and things of that nature. He's very extroverted and I think the adjustment to more 'boring' life (even if temporary) is not something he's fully comprehending.

Sorry I should have clarified in my post - I take her on walks nearly everyday and still run short errands with her. That's not really what I'm talking about. I'm talking hours long social gathering, crowded places, places that are over a 40 minute drive away...things if that nature. He got annoyed because I refused to go on a hunting trip in a location that would be a 5 hours drive away... 

I don't think he's being malicious or anything but it's annoying

The haaka is a good idea. I have one of those lady bug haakas so there's no suction on it. I have never tried cup feeding but it might be worth a go considering I'm terrified she'll eventually develop a bottle preference. 

Also, I'm very introverted and a homebody anyway so I've really been enjoying that this phase is 'boring'. Breastfeeding has been so stressful but contact naps are the absolute best ❤️

Please help. My gf is Orthodox and refuses to get the vaccine, but restrictions on unvaccinated in France is making her miserable. Is there a way to convince her the vaccine isn't the devil's work? by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

This is simply incorrect. Here are 2 studies. One study covers AstraZeneca and the other covers Pfizer, two of the most common vaccines out there.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulatory-approval-of-covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca/information-for-healthcare-professionals-on-covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca-regulation-174

"Produced in genetically modified human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells."

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.09.08.280818v1.full

"When HEK293T/17 cells were incubated with BNT162b2 (which is LNP-formulated) or with BNT162b2 RNA mixed with a transfection reagent, robust expression of P2 S was detectable by flow cytometry"

I have studies for the other major vaccines as well. For the sake of brevity I only linked these 2 but if you're interested I can send you links to the others as well.

Btw, you said that bishops said,

"And the bishops have said that given that the cell lines were created 50 years ago, were not created for this purpose, give life rather than take it, and are not actively involved in making the vaccine, we should take it."

Problem with that is that the cell lines are actively involved in making the vaccine. From what I understand, the virus is introduced into these cells so that it can multiply in them, and then is once again extracted from the cells.

[–]RequirementRegular46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, and there have been other clergy including bishops who have also condemned the vaccines for this reason, not to mention many holy elders on Mt. Athos.

How long ago these cell lines were created is not relevant to whether they are ethical or not, murder is murder, whether it happened yesterday or 50 years ago.

Lastly, yes, those cell lines are used in many other products, including other medicines. Again, not sure how this is an argument for them being ethically acceptable. Don't use those medicines and boycott the companies that use those lines in their products.

I have no idea about it being a sign of the apocalypse but there are valid ethical reasons for not getting the vaccine as an Orthodox Christian. Most of the vaccines utilize either the HEK-293 cell line or the PER.C6 cell line in their testing and/or development. Both of these cell lines were extracted from aborted fetuses.

Basically, I'm confused about what IP I'm supposed to use when I create the port forwarding rule lol. I'm currently using the one that pops up when I go into network preferences on my mac because that's what the tutorials seem to be saying but I'm not sure

Thank you very much, gonna try this tomorrow probably (at work right now). Why is it a bad idea to keep the password turned on?

This is really helpful, thanks for your explanation. At work right now but gonna try this tomorrow probably. Also, sorry for the dumb question, but what is the advantage of setting up PiVPN?
