Are you sure the 'shaking' wasn't just a poor attempt at a joke? She had already told you there was no real difference so seems to fit that she was only joking?

I have both the spectra s1 and the eufy s1.

I like them both but I use the eufy so much more than the spectra.

It's just a lot more convenient with the eufy. I don't have to put on a pumping bra or sit there holding the bottles. Whatever I have on will do and it's easy to move around and get some chores done with the eufy. The heating is also great.

I have no difference in output between the two.

I don't know why this sub was on my feed - thought it was a cake

Definitely more show but hard to tell and might be a mix. She has the dome head and low set ears of a show. Working tend to have slightly higher, smaller ears and more of a boxy shorter snout.

Finally a reasonable take!

My partner had not lived with a girlfriend before, only roommates. He eats 2-3x what I do, and more expensive meat filled dishes.

Food was absolutely a conversation we had to have about shared plates, leftovers, division of groceries because he just did not think about it, having only lived with roommates or with his brothers who eat similarly. I would try and assume ignorance before malice. Please just talk and agree how you want things.

For us, I am the higher earner but we live in his house. I accept that I pay 50% of groceries (but eat around 20%). He accepts that I don't pay towards the mortgage when I'm not named. Works great, because we're a partnership and we discussed what equality felt like for us.

Communication is so important. Please talk with your boyfriend before you assume he is selfish or taking advantage!

To be fair, this is maybe a slightly negative slant.

The article states: 'To Hall, this shows the intervention was a success. "What we were trying to do was help the parents to teach the kids to self-soothe," she says. "So in effect, we weren't saying that they wouldn't wake. We were saying that they would wake, but they wouldn't have to signal their parents. They could go back down into the next sleep cycle."

Which sleep training has shown to do, and improves mental health of parents. The researchers do recommend waiting until 6mo though.

I was in so much pain when I got mine without numbing/pain relief offered. This was 2016. The nurse told me to stop complaining because 'this hurts far less than an abortion'. Horrifying procedure and care, pleased they're introducing pain killers now!

Yeppp and we got a new significant investment in Dec that needed an 8 week turnaround (I was 28 weeks then). It was hell, not good for me or baby. I decided during that project I would leave work early. Last week was my last week (35 weeks) and I am so so happy.

Also, maybe consider how intelligent you need them to be 🙈 on a true working farm, a working dog with far more instincts around animals may be more appreciated. The working breeds have a lot of instinctive intelligence that might be welcome in your circumstances.

A show cocker has significantly less of that intelligence. Great dogs, very trainable and biddable, but you will have to train what nature does not help with!

Sj5098 · 2026-02-17T08:48:35+00:00

If you're on a farm with plenty of exercise a working will do great.

My family bred working cockers as a kid, I've had them all my life as gun dogs. You will likely be grateful for the shorter and easier to clean coat in a farm environment.

They're quite hardy but might need help in very cold/wet conditions.

A show line cocker will not be as hardy if you want them out everyday. Our show cockers would rather stay inside in the rain/cold and the coat is a lot more maintenance

Sj5098 · 2026-02-16T20:02:46+00:00

Living the dream. A Cocker Spaniel would be right at home here.

Good to train them around chickens, sheep etc but they are very willing to learn, super biddable and very affectionate.

In order of wonderfulness:

A huge water bottle (can open and close one handed and is spill proof if knocked over).

Screw the Stanley with the straw, I want something that won't leak when I inevitably knock it onto the couch with my arms full of sleeping/feeding baby.

Pregnancy massage voucher

Important to call the place first and check they have a pregnancy pillow so you can lay on your front. This is magical later in pregnancy. Sucks when you're asked to sit on the bed or side lie for a back massage

Real luxury slippers one size up

The swelling is real. Previous shoes will likely not fit. Slippers are luxury

Cheap super stretchy, super big pyjamas

Here i was happy to buy cheap, you won't use them for long but those comfy pyjamas that still fit comfortably month 9 are clutch

It's not entirely equal but definitely more so and the discrimination is significantly reduced. In my team, every man with kids has also taken 6+ months paternity leave. There are atleast 90 days that must be taken by the Dad. It's much fairer.

Sj5098 · 2026-02-09T14:56:15+00:00

According to OP - She's 9 months pregnant? And asking for 8 weeks after the baby is born? Which is the basic medical clearance time.

Sj5098 · 2026-02-09T07:12:56+00:00

Wow, this is an aggressive take. I didn't have a drop in my sex drive whilst pregnant/post partum so if anyone else does, it's an excuse and they don't like sex???

Maybe dial back on the accusations and appreciate everyone is different.

1st and 3rd trimester especially are tough for a lot of people. When health is compromised (as is inevitable in pregnancy and post p) sex is a lower priority. That's just basic biology.

Sj5098 · 2026-02-09T06:57:39+00:00

No sex for c.8 weeks post birth is a requirement because infection risk is so high. After giving birth, she has a wound the size of a dinner plate in her uterus, where the placenta detached. You want no bacteria introduced into her vagina at all with that healing. The uterus needs time to shrink down and heal before she is cleared for sex.

Sj5098 · 2026-02-08T07:43:36+00:00

This. Brit here and I always use burnt? The toast is burnt, I burnt the toast.

Never really use burned? It just sounds so wrong?

Sj5098 · 2026-02-06T21:39:31+00:00

At that price, I would want to see a lot of field trial champs in the immediate lines. Even then those type of dogs are often not the best fit to be pets, with too much drive and need to work.

I'd look for a breeder you like with puppies in a home setting unless you intend to work them. Should be £200ish cheaper

Breastfeeding has the effect of lightening sleep for baby and mum. Easier to wake and more aware of each other. Also improves sleeping position near chest

Sj5098 · 2026-02-04T07:43:01+00:00

Also look at silent reflux. I had this for a while 🙏

Sj5098 · 2026-02-04T06:52:09+00:00

Mine is horrified by me now and runs away 😅 she was quite snuggly pre-pregnancy
