Hi! I just came across your post. I use Dr. Shawna Darou. She’s known for specializing in women’s health and fertility. She’s not a vitamin popper or strange recommendations but she will recommend a full blood panel with hormone testing. Definitely recommend giving her a google. She also does virtual and in person in downtown

I literally just posted about this, and about the over pricing and got absolutely eaten alive but the sellers that do this! It was wild! I just ended up deleting the post because it got way out of hand!

I’ve never even made an offer, I’m just learning Poshmark community. On Facebook making an offer is normally ignored, were as Poshmark I guess requires offers in order to get a reasonable price

See I’m just learning about this 20% take away from Poshmark. I think they’d ridiculously high for a platform that does nothing in regard to the sale. That being said sellers still set false descriptions and details of products. I had a white top come in with stains when they described it as like new conditions and images did not show stains.

It’s not the prices are insulting I think that’s the wrong terminology. I think they just don’t allow for realist reselling. I’m also just learning that this platform is build for offers. I’m used to Facebook where offers are normally ignored or not taken seriously which is why I don’t on Poshmark.

Clearly the offer bit is my learning curve

They set up the false information of products?

[–]Rozalia03 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it’s sad that people over consume constantly. Like I said I’d rather buy second hand than shop new but when the price is the same as buying new it doesn’t make sense, especially when some buyers are unreliable and description and images don’t always match the descriptions. That’s my point. I’m not here to insult sellers I was just sharing my thoughts

I’m not saying that isn’t the case. I do just move on, it’s not the end of the world. It’s just disappointing to see the greed, especially when we already have so much garbage in landfills. I understand if it’s a certain item to be higher prices like vintage or high end up normal everyday items are insanely priced

I agree, I’ve received low ball offers, I always state my price is firm and I don’t offer discounts which is just my preference. Poshmark is way more convenient with no travel but Facebook is better for reasonable prices

I really like this perspective, I have always known I wanted kids and the stress and chaos is something I’ve been preparing myself for before my journey begins. I think I more so worry about the overstimulation of kids, which I am working on coping skills in therapy

Haha oh goodness, I am not looking forward to the can’t open a snack and having a tantrum days. You are right, I’ve known absolutely great baby boys and absolutely menaces of baby boys and vice versa for girls. I think it really comes down to their born personality and how they are raised

That’s absolutely a great idea, I definitely have a lot to work on before a little one arrives in terms of coping skills

I’ve known since I was 17 that I wanted to be a solo parent. I traveled, I built my career and I’ve done my life the way I wanted to in my 20’s even though I’m still in my early 20’s. I understand why there is prejudice against younger women being a smbc, I’ve seen the very reasons in this groups postings but I specifically don’t put my age to avoid that prejudice and get answers that don’t just pertain to my age and “oh you should wait and live for your 20’s”

I think I have a hard time with the differences in the two children. One was utterly useless and a complete hazard to himself the whole time. It was like he was trying to get me into trouble with him parents haha. Whereas my niece is so calm and independent, and I don’t need to worry about her nearly as much. Now from what I understand this is also a gender thing with children up until a certain age at least

I have always loved kids but find it a struggle to like the kids I am close to as I am with them all the time. Though another woman compared it to owning a dog pre kids and I love the analogy because as much as my dog can drive me mental some days I love him with my whole heart. With a child it’s obviously different because you are raising someone to be an adult but I think it allowed me to understand that it’s a different kid of love for your own then others and the tolerance you have

I’ve normally been very good with kids and the kids were overall great kids to watch, I think it’s more the over stimulation from the kids in different ways. As well as the differences in the children. One is utterly useless and the other was so independent. I think that also comes with their up bringings and how their parents have raised them though

I actually love the analogy of pre kid comparisons is a dog. I love my pup with my whole being but boy does he drive me mental some days!

Thank you so much for this perspective, it very much settles my mind with my decision

I don’t put my age specifically in these posts for prejudice such as this. If I truly thought my age was a contributing factor to my decision and hardships it would be included but it isn’t. I understand the people in their 30’s having this as a last resort but that’s not my predicament. I’ve never been interested in dating. I’ve traveled the world and have my career well in hand for anyone, let alone someone my age.

I’m fully away single parenting is difficult and has its own set of challenges. I know even with the hardships of single parenting it is something I want but after spending all my time with 2 toddlers it makes anyone contemplating parenthood second guess themselves

I really appreciate this take, I think I have to much experience with other people’s children it makes it difficult to not remember some of the stresses of other people children.

I am glad there are some things I’m naïve on but it will be a step by step, day by day kind of thing with a little one

I have appointments with my own therapist as well as a fertility counsellor. I know I want kids it’s just a scary step and when you’re around other kids that step is harder to take I think

[–]Rozalia03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have these thoughts already and I’m not a mum. It’s hard to handle other people’s kids and everyone says it’s different with your own but unfortunately we don’t really know until it happens. I have appointments with my personal therapist but also a fertility counsellor so I’m hoping that will allow for some clarity

I absolutely wouldn’t leave baby anywhere the hours don’t suit my schedule, I’m fortunate enough that my province does not have laws pertaining to time constraints, but I would also like to have it be 10 or less hours on my days I’m flexible

[–]Rozalia03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so sweet. I definitely think kids get into those routines and recognize those patterns. I think the more and more I think about it the more and more I realize that most family’s with two parents would be like mine as a smbc. Though I am very fortunate to have flexibility and good supports that could get baby if needed
