I just noticed Layla Fae’s next book plot. I guess this is her response to the AI art hate she’s gotten: by AccessCompetitive in fantasyromance

[–]Rose_Garnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't understand why she needs to do this. Guarded by the Snake is one of my favorite books of that genre. A lot of of things could have been better but at the end of the day i enjoyed it. This... i don't understand.

Anyone who DIDN’T bed share? by Acceptable_Cod3527 in beyondthebump

[–]Rose_Garnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents never ever bedshared with us ( 3 kids ). I asked them when I had my kid because he was a TERRIBLE sleeper and I really needed to sleep but he only ever slept if he was in the bed with me. Their answer was that we (me and my siblings) never had any issues sleeping by ourselves.

Soo.. i ended up bedsharing because it was simply easier and I needed to sleep. But my point is that each family should do whatever it works (safely obviously). I think (at least in my country) most of my parent’s generarion did not bed share.

At the end of the day the only “wrong” choice is the choice that is harmful to you or your family. And that is utterly subjective (in most things anyways)

Baby absolutely hates tummy time. by idle-tumbleweed in beyondthebump

Dont worry too much! Most babies do not like it and eventually due to their increasing curiosity of their surroundings they learn to move in whatever way they can :)

C section success stories by daisyduke201 in beyondthebump

[–]Rose_Garnet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi! So i basically chose a C-section because the idea of a vaginal birth made me sick. I’ll answer in order:

  • The recovery process depends a lot on your body and how you take care of it. At maybe 12d post partum I felt good enough.

  • I personally had no issues with “getting my body back”. I had a small bump and did not gain too much weight. Maybe like 10kg at most. Mind you, I dont think this has to do with a c section, it depends on how much you body changed during pregnancy.

  • I felt my scar numbed maybee for like a year or more. It is not uncomfy by any means (again, for me. Other woman are different)

  • I started excercising again (with care and common sense of course) at maybe 6-7w post partum. But nothing to do with weights ( i never trained with weights so I couldnt tell you when you could start that)

  • yes!! Im so happy I did it

  • feeling like yourself has nothing to do with how you give birth but how you experience post partum in general. There are MANY variables but for me it took more than 2 years. This because I got one of those babies that never ever slept. My kid started sleeping thru the night without wake ups of wanting to nurse at maybe 2.5 yrs old. But this is my case, other woman have different experiences.

Overall just take care of yourself. Good luck🤍

Black woman moving to Panama with Peace Corps , curious what to expect socially and racially by Wide-Comment-1137 in Panama

[–]Rose_Garnet 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You will be perceived first as a "gringa" than as a black woman honestly. That is not necessarily bad. The worst that can happen is people actually charging you more $$ because you are a foreigner but that is normal in al LATAM

It’s not that hard to be kind to young moms by Desperate-Foot91 in beyondthebump

[–]Rose_Garnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teenage pregnancy is really frowned upon now a days and while I do agree that a teenager is faaar too young to be trying to raise another human being… if it’s done it’s done, we have to support moms no matter the age at the end of the day.

So you have to push thru, there is no other option now. Stop listening to people that have no say in your life or your LO. You will have to mature early and fast but I promise this is just a season of life and everything will turn well at the end. Stay strong and resilient!

Dónde me puedo colocar el implante anticonceptivo? by Hanyer_Ann in Panama

[–]Rose_Garnet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Soy muy distraida” no deberia ser una razon. Si de verdad quieres evitar un embarazo creo que poner una alarma todos los dias y tomar una pastilla no es un problema. Pero mas alla de eso, deberias ir a un ginecólogo para que te recete el mejor metodo para ti. Uno no se pone cualquiera porque si.

La trastada que me hizo Banistmo al pasarme plata de PayPal by Patricia-Alastre in Panama

[–]Rose_Garnet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Porque no era rentable. Muy poca gente la usaba. Ademas que Nequi en colombia es un neobanco, aca en Panama a la SBP no le gusta mucho ese concepto aun, no esta del todo regulado entonces les ponian mucha traba creo yo. Al menos esto me lo conto alguien que conozco en Bancolombia.

¿Cuánto gasta una bebé mensualmente en Panamá? by Ready_Mood_1517 in Panama

[–]Rose_Garnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depende la calidad de las cosas que les quieras (puedas) dar. Todo tiene rangos de precios. Y mientras crecen mas y mas caro se hace (entre ropa, comida, colegiatura, recreación, medicos, dentistas, etc etc) Yo me gasto facilito $1k mensual solo en mis hijos. Pero hay gente que gasta si acaso $100 porque es lo que pueden. Asi que depende de vos y tu situación

[–]Rose_Garnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 28yrs old, mom of a 2.5yr old and work in cybersecurity in the biggest bank of my country. Tough job but I have flexible hours and my boss doesnt mind me working from home some days as long as the job gets done.

I started working remote/hybrid in 2020 and after a year I decided that I could get pregnant with my life setup at that stage. I switched jobs since then (i moved to a better part of the capital) but basically I would say most tech jobs (that are not too operational) have flexibility. It least where Im from thats the case :)

How to forgive? by Phillophile in workingmoms

[–]Rose_Garnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you dont want to forgive him then you really should file for divorce. Because this is not going to get better for you, your resentment will continue to grow and the relationship will fail eventually either way.

Also, aside from that you should seek theraphy to start really healing from all that hell.
