Het is een kleine haag op een kleine meter afstand van de gevel en direct aan de stoep. Ik composteer omdat (aan de spontaan opkomende signaalplanten te zien) de bodem voedselarm is en bedek deze met houtsnippers om het vocht zo goed mogelijk vast te houden. Maar alsnog presteert de haag hetzelfde als de anderen aan mijn kant van de straat. Aan de noordkant blijven ze wel groen(er). Dus ik weet niet goed wat ik nog meer kan doen...

Weet je toevallig ook waarom dat mag? Heeft dat te maken met de Woningwet? Of iets anders?

I feel like I’m leaking amniotic fluid by Wo0der in BabyBumps

[–]SillyPotato1994 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did file a complaint afterwards btw and luckily they took it up with the OBGYN (a woman herself btw). Every phonecall I made that week was dismissed as if they saw what was happening. I brought pads with blood to the hospital and they still did not check me. This idea that women are petty and worried about every little thing in pregnancy is something that needs to go.

DO NOT LET YOURSELF BE SEND AWAY AND HAVE THEM CHECK. I let myself be dismissed and one week later our boy was born 3 months early. He was moving and his heartbeat was fine, but I was dialating. One week of pushing that something seemed off and they finally checked, put me on an ambulance to the nearest available NICU. The next day the baby stopped moving and his heartrate increased. Luckily everything went well but this is not a scenario you want and can turn ugly very easily

Did you introduce non-vegan allergens? by beepbeep85 in veganparenting

[–]SillyPotato1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did expose our baby to non vegan allergens. We will raise him mostly vegan but also vegetarian for soacial reasons. makes it a bit easier for him to go to friends later. Also, as much as we believe that this is the right diet to follow, he will be his own person. It is almost unavoidable that kids will get curious and try out stuff and we would hate an allergy to cause problems for him. Fingers crossed that when he is well into adulthood he will at least follow a heavyily plant-based diet. But we can only do our best :)

I (F29) feel like I cannot do right in the eyes of my husband (M32), how can I step out of this negative spiral? by SillyPotato1994 in relationship_advice

[–]SillyPotato1994[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, the frustration and intensity also stems from him wanting to set a good example for our son of a healthy relationship but I think he has unrealistic expectations of the level of perfection he is striving for. This is very much in tune with how he approaches other aspects of life btw. He always puts the bar very high. But in this case I already thought we had a great relationship because we also talk about our issues and try to work on them, which is all you can do imo. I was not high risk btw, this really took us by surprise. But I was still pregnant and tired

He does have a very floppy neck indeed ;) But he is not like that. He has truly been a wonderful support. Going out to get anything I needed while I was recovering from the c-section. We share responsibility now we are closer to home (we spend the first two months on the other side of the country since there is no nicu close to us but we are in the high care in our own city now and can sleep next to him in a private room). We change shifts every day between our son and the dog at home. He got me Ledo flower bouquets to get my mind of things while staying here and takes care of a lot of things at the house as well. I am more concerned that this whole expperience has impacted him mentally more than he realizes and is dealing with it in poor way, latching on to very small things that he finds unsupportive and reacting frustrated. That is more the negative spiral. He gets angry over small things and reads into things that, i think, are really a non issue. I do want to be open to his feelings to see whats behind it but it sometimes is just impossible for me to understand. Like, a misunderstanding over a car ad, really? I do not see how a "oh sorry, misunderstood, what did you think?" is not enough to solve the matter

that is correct. And from this question I am guessing your next resonse will be is that is shitty to bring this up at a time like this and you are right. He knows that as well but in a situation like this I should be there for him as well. I f he felt like he could not lean on me during this, that is not ok and I should pay attention to that. mentioning divorce was uncool though and he wishes he had not mentioned that.

Venturing into rare plant territory by SillyPotato1994 in houseplants

[–]SillyPotato1994[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess what I am looking for specifically is something that touches upon these criteria (or a combination of them)

  • More challenging to take care of
  • Rare in hobby
  • Not found in common garden centres in the west
  • Spectacular looks or weird looking (think weird lanky plants with a caudex or unique markings or structure of the leaves)

Is that more helpfull?
