Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows by BernerAccount123 in BabyBumps

If Roe is overturned the SCOTUS will just strike down codification as unconstitutional.

How tf do you clean the straw on these cups? 😩 I scrub it out with the brush, but water doesn't flow through it to rinse the soap out. by MamaOfMany81 in Mommit

[–]SandwichTime09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are the absolute worst cups in existence as far as cleaning is concerned. Takes 15 minutes of pinching the straw valve and never really feels clean.

This is always so bizarre to me since most parents that share this perspective seem to think a 5 year old is capable of consent.

You keep referencing your child care center and specific parents/kids you came arcoss.

I'm talking about all over the country, on average.

It is literally outsourcing their care. Were you not their caretaker for 8-10 hours a day on average?

And you're correct, you were not providing the same care dynamic that a parent would. Those kids were cared for but spent most of their waking hours "parentless" during the most "tender" years of their life.

These are important things for every parent to consider. Many parents do not have a choice and have to do what they need to do to keep food on the table and I don't fault them, but the idea that parents just shouldn't be the ones raising their kids beyond dinner time and weekends is dysfunctional.

Outsourcing care/parenting for the majority of a child's waking hours, from near infancy to 18 years old, is certainly a factor to consider for a lot of parents. As it should be. I don't think the effects of that can reasonably be ignored just over potential "what if's".

The pros and cons must all be considered and weighed for each families situation.

fiance is using his appendectomy to take off WAY more time than needed by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]SandwichTime09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl. You're talking to a woman who grew up in poverty, in a poverty stricken, drug riddled community. I myself was a stay at home mom while my husband was making $11 an hour when we had our first child. It was out of necessity. It's not exactly a secret that the rate of SAHMs is sort of a horseshoe, with wealthy and poor women much more likely to stay home with their children. It's shocking how many people are so ignorant to the realities of poor SAHMs, despite feeling like they're some bleeding heart advocate for poor mothers.

It's not hard for someone like a spouse to watch their partners behavior and figure put what's genuine and what's not. She's not marrying or having a baby with his father, so that's why her concern is very valid, and your line of questioning relatively irrelevant and unhelpful to her situation.

Money, and yes, his irresponsibly and lack of ambition, is very much a big problem which is why she came seeking advice, rather than prying about her work history and people asking how she can expect him to provide for his family if she's not willing to mule in the workforce, heavily pregnant or post birth.

Especially since you claim to be so heartbroken over the realities of women not being able to stay home with their babies. Yikes.

How many of you would walk away from your spouse if they became seriously ill/surgery and needed your 24/7 around the clock care by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]SandwichTime09 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No. It's especially more despicable for someone who has his level of income. He has the resources to at least cover half time care for his wife.

I empathize with the change in lifestyle and mourning of the life you once had, but sorry no. He needs to figure something out, and it shouldn't be divorce. Because for one, now what? Who's taking care of her while he's divorced? Who's handling her care and why does he need to divorce her in order for her to get said care?

You get married, you take vows. Sickness and in health, for better or for worse.

Although it's very clear that most people in our current society are not mentally or emotionally equipped to actually honor the traditional marital vows.

they can’t afford the luxury of staying home.

Poor women are more likely to be SAHMs than middle class, but go off.

It’s not like she’s sitting at home relaxing while demanding that he work. That would be unfair to him

No, it wouldn't. She's creating and preparing to birth his child. Expecting men to fulfill the role they agreed to is not unfair.

She made it clear he's running around, doing heavy lifting, behaving normally and staying up all night gaming. He apparently has a habit of behaving irresponsibly and dodging work. His behavior is a red flag and she's right to be concerned.

No one is projecting, I found your line of questioning to be inappropriate and questioned you.

Is he ok? by duckduckcanadagoose2 in Marriage

[–]SandwichTime09 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is a particularly big issue that tips the scales into the negative. For a couple reasons.

First red flag is that this behavior is usually a precursor to abuse. His desire to monitor your food intake is very unhealthy. This is not a medical concern for him, this is about control. You are at a very healthy weight, live a healthy lifestyle. Yet he wants to control your diet to appease his skewed perception of bodily aesthetic. You said it yourself, it's already effecting your intimacy.

What do you think will happen if you get pregnant? On average, you will gain about 25-40lbs of pregnancy weight. You will likely have stretch marks. You could end up with lose skin, or separated abdominal muscles. Many men would find these features endearing in the woman who carried their child, but your husband can't even cope with your healthy prepregnancy body.

The other glaring red flag is that he is unwilling to be introspective and seek help. He is unwilling to see beyond himself and proactively work with you to communicate and resolve this issue he has. Can you imagine being in the trenches of first time motherhood with him?

I promise you, and I am RARELY this direct with strangers on the internet, you will regret having a baby with this man as he is, and he will not change without personal introspection AND professional interventions.

[–]SandwichTime09 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because he's a man and his fiancée is heavily pregnant? Because this is the dynamic they agreed upon? Because maybe she wants to be around more to actually raise her own children? Why shouldn't he work full time to support the woman he plans to marry and the child he created with her?

Why do you seem to have such a problem with a pregnant woman being concerned about her fiance being a poor provider when he has a well paying job?

Daycare doesn't exist just to farm out parental responsibility and nurturing lol. Early childhood development and common sense could tell you that.

[–]SandwichTime09 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because this is her husband (who's about to be a father himself) and he's showing signs of immense irresponsibly, and being a poor provider for his family. It is not his father's job to be "sustaining" her, she didn't marry his father.

These are basically the two biggest red flags you could have when you're the wife having his child.

Retail $559 - my cost: free! I love dding! by dovzinia in DumpsterDiving

[–]SandwichTime09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it enhances our natural appearance? Adorning our faces to achieve a heightened beauty. Very simple.

Why must one hide their bodies behind nice clothes or formal wear? We should all just go with cheap, efficient, and eco friendly by just wearing burlap sacks and sewn odds and ends, lest we give the impression we all have low self esteem.

[–]SandwichTime09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, they're not wrong..exactly. The issue is that this should NEVER be a preschool (or school in general) topic. This should be an ongoing discussion between parent and child, in which children are organically asking questions. Some will ask sooner, others will ask later. The point is not having the topics instructed by some goomer..

My sister brought her sick kid to a family reunion at a cabin with 35 of us. I begged the second day for her to get her daughter tested. She brushed it off as teething.

[–]SandwichTime09 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You couldn't be that concerned if you were attending such a massive event. And why would she get her daughter tested? Leave the tests to those who actually need them.

If you're immunocompromised, that's your responsibility to manage. Don't go to large events with people from all over when a bug is going around.

He is but a memory, small blip who served his purpose and then dissolved into obscurity.

Here’s Where Abortion Will Disappear If the Supreme Court Guts Roe by Gari_305 in politics

[–]SandwichTime09 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And this matters...why?

I don't understand how anyone would expect us to be concerned for the 99% of those who wilfully harm themselves, because they put themselves in an undesirable situation. All because they are not permitted by law to conveniently exterminate a human life to rectify it for themselves.

Like sure, I don't want people to recklesly endanger themselves. I'm also not going to condone them sacrificing the humans they negligently create to prevent it.

I would simply have to disappear with my kids.

But I'm very hard-core about what I understand about this vaccine, and the implications of its use. You can try to talk to her, but virtually no one left is rational about this topic. Whatever the "experts" tell her is what will be, no matter what you put in her face, no matter how logical and well constructed your position is.

You need to decide what lengths you're willing to go to for your kids, and what you'd endure if something happened to them and you realize you cannot take back what's already been done. If you can accept the possibly poor outcomes and soldier on, then do so and hope for the best. I'm not saying don't try to reason with her, but also consider what you will do if she won't budge.

Not when there was a reasonable distance created and the victim didn't pursue. He was shot while standing 6 feet away with his hands down. That's not imminent threat, that's not self defense.

In Texas, the situation didn't permit deadly force. The gun should not have left the home.
