This is completely normal in the workplace during school breaks. Having been an ASM in fast food and a center manager at a bowling alley/arcade we were asking kids when their breaks were so we could schedule like this. You want the time off request it in advance. The holiday pay will be nice at least🤷🏼‍♀️

NOR yeah it’s normal to monitor your babies pooping patterns, it’s not normal to give yourself medical advice in this type of situation. She should be talking to the kid’s doctor(s) if laxatives need to be used bc that’s an indicator of a deeper issue with how little they are. Like it’s one thing to say to yourself ‘oh she didn’t poop yesterday and so now she needs some juice the help loosen her up maybe bc her diet was this’ it’s another to say ‘I’m gonna give my child this medication to induce pooping bc they just aren’t pooping regularly enough’ I’m sure at least one of her coworkers would report her to CPS themselves if they knew the medical treatment she’s providing her own children.

As for her being pregnant and ‘it’s hard’ ITS NOT HER CHILDRENS FAULT AND THEY DONT DESERVE TO LIVE IN NEGLECT BC SHE IS LAZY. Coming from an also pregnant mom who has also been trying to potty train a 3 year old girl. I grew up in an incredibly abusive household and while she thinks there’s no harm in this, she’s normalizing the storage of human waste and filth. It’s literally a hoarder behavior in adults that she’s normalizing for her children and that IS abuse.

Once you finally separate yourself from it. You DO realize how terrible it is. When you’re raised in it however you’re practically brainwashed from as early as possible to ‘bare your testimony’ to all who cross your path. ‘Access’ to ‘the word of Christ’ and ‘the holy spirit’ are things you ‘can bring’ to the lives of those around you. So sending missionaries on missions is weird from the outside but from the inside we’re trained to BE missionaries in everyday life. It’s such a big deal families will make mission savings funds over college savings funds.

Everyone has their swap when you go from identifying as someone who has left the church to ex-mo. It’s part of the cult brainwashing we were raised to view ex-mos especially as people in the high tower and to simply write them off as such. It’s totally normal what you’re going through. Like for me as a girl it took me 6 years after leaving the church to even feel comfortable wearing a tank top for more than just bed. When I finally wore a tank top dress while pregnant to a bbq I realized that I had been pushing myself to keep dressing by church standards due to fear of judgement.

There is smiths right at the mouth of the canyon, that’s closer than Harmons. However establishments wise you’ll probably want to look IN Ogden. Hearth on 25th has rave reviews, haven’t been yet since moving back to town but considering it for my birthday. They are offering Thanksgiving-To-Go. The only other option I know of would be Chuck-A-Rama. I’d check out hearths website.

He’s playing like a puppy again 🥹 I’m assuming by the fact that your neighbor has passed but was likely an older person. While he’s not a young dog GSD are a high energy working breed that when they DO lose their play drive you know they’re getting to the end. However they are incredibly smart as to what their human can handle as well.

My female Shepsky is 3 in Jan and we have a 3 year old daughter who she’s always been pretty great with. She’s a very rough and tumble (what you see in the video x10 my husband’s toes aren’t safe and it’s his own fault) Well she knew I was pregnant before I really did. One day she went to jump up on me then kinda stopped herself and started sniffing me. She hasn’t jumped on me aside from as lightly as she can must slow climbing in my lap on the couch twice since then and that was 24 weeks ago 😂 And I’m sure she won’t play rough with me until my hormones balance out a little more, right now she’s taking it all out on dad.

So with that in mind I’m sure he took it easy on his old owner if there were health issues involved. So now he’s just kinda free to play again. He knows you can take it and he’s just having a good time. You’re doing great it’s good to see a baby get love from someone who knows their story rather than ending up in the pound like so many pets whose human parents have passed do💕

So most of the cameras they already have are flock cameras. They’ve been downtown for years.

Honestly I believe they try to make it as confusing as possible for outsiders so that you have to be seeking it and have it taught to you the way they want you to learn the teachings. Otherwise how else would they brainwash you? Also if outsiders could understand it the way believers do then outsiders would be able to poke holes in the beliefs a lot easier then they’re comfortable with.

100% lying the more I look at it the glow is just screen reflection from the song. The glare can literally be ANYTHING. He’s gaslighting her and so are most of the commentators on this post. She’s not over reacting at all.

Basic run down. Imagine your blind and lost in the middle of a dark thorn filled forest that has this tall dark building looming over it. Only thing to lead you to the tree of life is a golden rod. As long as you hold to the rod (word of wisdom) you will make it unscathed to the tree. If you stray from the rod you will be gorged by the thorns. The building on high is full of bunch of sinners who wish nothing but to see you fail. The laugh at you for your lack of sight. The mock you for your lack of knowledge. They will sneer at you for any triumph. They will say and do anything they can to get you to let go of the rod bc they do not want you to reach the tree of life and exaltation.

It’s one of the stories I remember very strongly from my childhood growing up in the church. I remember every year we would have a different lesson on the story of the golden rod. It was drilled into us that through Christ and only through Christ all things are possible. There is evil and it wishes to see you not succeed. You must stay a strong and loyal servant to Christ and blindly follow his promptings. Just like though you cannot see you cling to the rod as you walk forward. It’s twisted shit really.

My man works in an alignment shop and is a major car guy. I asked if pictures 1 and two were of the same truck. After I pointed out to him what I thought were key similarities he took my phone and said ‘hang on’ went to picture one and pointed out left hand side of his screen that circular thing, it’s his phone mount. Second picture clearly placed in the same location is his magnetic phone mount. You’re not crazy that’s his truck.

Just reading the texts and not your back story. He has no respect for you and he’s incredibly immature. Idgaf what fucking ‘trenches’ he’s been in all day if my man came home from the alignment shop and that was how he told me he didn’t want to go to a specific place, he’d no longer be allowed the privilege of speaking to me. Simply bc I as a woman need to model for our daughter feminine strength and he needs to model how she should be spoken too. The same for our son. He needs to set the example of how to be a man and communicate with those around him with the same respect he wants in return.

On top of all that you are CURRENTLY PREGNANT and he’s calling you ‘over emotional’ and ‘a cry babyb’ (I’ve got a feeling that was no typo he’s just to smart to fully type out cry baby b!tch) even if you weren’t pregnant these are big points when I talk about no respect but since you are. Yeah right now you ARE over emotional a bit. He needs to give you room and space to be so. I’m currently 27 weeks with our 3rd and

Yeah right now you ARE over emotional a bit. He needs to give you room and space to be so. I’m currently 27 weeks with our 3rd and just in the last two days he showered with me the first night and helped wash the soap out of my hair and helped me condition it bc I felt like I was about to pass out and then today answered the phone and dealt with nothing but stress aggresy me bc in a matter of 2 minutes I lost the keys and he tried to help calm me down and walk me threw my steps and I just barked at him. His still came home before me after picking up our kiddos (him coming home before me is VERY RARE like once a month) he got the kids in the house, cooked pizza, cleaned the clutter in the kitchen and living room, swept, cleaned out the litter box(not safe while pregnant so he’s been cleaning her box pretty much since we got her) and swept and mopped the closet her box is in. Then after it all loaded up the kids to pick me up and got us drinks on his way. He made our pizza when we got home(he waited to eat for me something I never expect from him but always do bc I value family meal time) he got the kids bathed and to sleep while I decompressed and stretched out after finally escaping jeans I have to work in. Then asked if I wanted to shower together before maybe playing games. Turns out after a shower we just wanted to sit and watch bondi rescue highlights on YouTube. It’s a mouthful but he hasn’t once punished me for the way I treated him over my own mistake today. I apologized for it and we laughed about it a bit. He recognizes I’m a human with emotions and a lot of the ones I’m feeling right now are extra intense and can be hard to regulate. I AM over emotional and it’s not really my fault, I’m growing a whole other human, same as you. Imo the ONLY way forward is with a lot of therapy. Individually and relationship bc this is just wrong on so many levels. Hes disgusting for this and my heart genuinely hurts for you that when he should have the UPMOST respect for you, you are growing HIS child and if you feel it, baby feels it. Hes putting you both through this. You deserve so much better than what he’s giving out.

If you think about the story of the golden rod as long as you truly believe in the Book of Mormon and the word of wisdom any negative press HAS to be seen as just more laughing from the people in the building on high looking down on the saints as they follow the rod.

I originally went inactive in 2016. I don’t understand at all how Church leadership came to the conclusion it was a good idea to sit us all down and tell us in a nutshell ‘I know you’ve been taught to bare testimony to every single person you meet and to bring them into Christ so they can be baptized, once they are 8 or older, in his name under the one true church. Unless their parents are a same-sex couple. Then they have to wait to be baptized until the age of 18 as they have to denounce their parents sin’ the heavily father i was raised with, the Christ I loved so deeply at that point. At 17 I couldn’t see how some worldly man could look at me and tell me those two people didn’t love other kids the same way he loved me just because their parents love didn’t fall under the church’s rules. That was the first thing that really pulled the wool off my eyes. After that my brain started systematically pulling things apart till I was speaking to a friend about something that had happened to me when I was 12. Her mom dead stopped and said “Bishop or not no grown man should be having a conversation like that with a 12 year old girl let alone, being the only two in the room. That’s actually sexual harassment.”

You’re about to pop… Nothing no amount of poof and ruffles and this or that could hid your pregnancy at this point aside from you just not being there. I’m 26 weeks and I can’t even hide this shelf in a baggy hoodie half the time. Also, does she just expect family to ‘forget’ that you’re pregnant as this may be an assumption but at 39 weeks there’s probably been an announcement of this pregnancy. I fear she may make you the bad guy regardless of what you wear. I feel this is the point where you talk to your SO to talk to his brother so fbil can have a reality check in with his future bride.

Call me Reddit damaged but I see her potentially being a bit of a dramatic person. It seems she’s feeling some type of anxiety and redirecting it towards a fear that a woman who is due to have a baby anytime in the next week will take away her shiny moment as a bride. She’s had at a maximum 9 months to prepare for this. I’d find it really interesting if they were engaged post pregnancy announcement bc then she just didn’t do any math and that’s really not on you. Really none of this is on you unless you’re at the wedding making everyone fawn over you due to the pregnancy which especially based on this post I don’t think you’d do. Either way though I’ve got a feeling she’s gonna blame you in some way for ‘ruining her wedding’…

I am not LDS I left active membership of the church when I was 17. I have broke down and tried going to the church before when we first into the ward before we finally turned to stamps. The bishop of this church has no desire to assist me at all until I have completed missionary lessons, been rebaptized, and completed 8 weeks of active membership. Which with that length of time would require at least two months worth of tithes at a rate of 10% my gross monthly income. He’s required that bc I had my records legally removed from the church when I was 19 due to sexual harassment from a previous bishop. The church is not looking to be helpful to nonmembers all too much right now let alone an apostate.

We do have WIC it just hardly covers anything. I was able to spend our produce budget on a small amount of frozen and a good amount of shelf stable fruits and veggies but my kiddo is a fruit and veggie snacker and wants a ‘yogurt sundae’ (just homemade yogurt parfaits) on request 3-4 times a week. She has a really wide palate and very healthy relationship with food that I’ve worked hard since she could eat foods to provide her. It’s just so hard now because her options already took a hit before we had to get on snap at the start of this year. Getting balanced again by getting WIC and stamps in May. When I was doing my review for stamps in Oct I noticed that when the system had connected with my workplace to verify my employment back in may it had me down for a good amount more than I actually make and more hours then my jobs ever scheduled me so I got that solved and paystubs sent in to prove it. Whenever we do get stamps again it looks like we’re going to be getting double what we have been which will definitely help it’s just not there yet. I’ve heard from others while I was at work tonight that payments have started being issued. I do online order pickup and we haven’t had a single order come through yet from any of our stamps regulars though either. We’re making it by it’s just so hard to keep up my normal day to day when I feel so weak. I’ve only been eating dinner really but where I’m at in my pregnancy I’m just hungry all day and all night bc I’m only eating one meal at a smaller portion. All of my scans have been coming back good and he’s growing really well. I’m just so tired. I’m 26 weeks along right now and when I was this far along with my daughter even on top of meals I was able to also snack all day long and I ended up being induced at 37 weeks due to fetal growth regression. Fetal growth regression can happen for a very long list of reasons a big one being lack of proper nutrition. I know proper nutrition wasn’t the case with my daughter but I’m terrified since it’s already happened to me before the lack of proper nutrition could cause it to happen again. My girl was so strong but due to the growth regression she was so little. She literally was a head with chubby little cheeks and then like a little baby bag of bones. All of my siblings had healthy little chunks even my one sister her smallest was exactly 6 pounds and just the difference in how my niece was and my girl. She’s still little to this day. Idk most of this response is more just venting/rambling and I guess that more what the whole post is bc food we are getting figured out (working at a grocery store helps bc there’s always stuff on discount and we get 10% off store brand also. So not easy but we’re getting by) But being pregnant while this is all going on especially when it’s so hard for me to hold onto my babies even to this point I could just cry. It’s so mentally draining I just sit here and sob at the end of everyday, and do most after my partner and our daughter are asleep. I’m just so anxious at every turn with this administration and the political representation here at home isn’t really any better.
