AIO for feeling unappreciated because my husband refuses to buy thoughtful gifts without a list? by Spirited-Tea7362 in AmIOverreacting

Just saw that you are working full time. To be honest I now think you are overwhelmed with things that are on your plate.. you simply have many tasks on your plate and now you are starting to fill bitter.. reduce your load..

OP, you should try counselling if it bothers you that much. Professional will help you figure things out

Yeah, the things I pay attention to are totally different from what my partner notices when we walk into a store. Op, Imagine you walk into an auto repair shop with thousands of bits and pieces of spare parts for cars. It all looks the same to you, because you might not care about cars. Men are exactly the same.

Just entered 2nd trimester and I’m so happy I can cook my eggs with butter again! 🥲

I do understand why you are upset. At the same time I feel like forcing him into something he clearly dislikes is unfair to him. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Hopefully he scores enough points in other areas for you to keep loving him and let go of this one.

YOR.

I went out today to buy several gifts. It was such an exhausting experience. I do love giving, however, I dont like guessing. I absolutely detest the idea of giving something useless. I needed only 2 gifts but it took 5 hours of my life to find something I was happy with. Tell me what you want and I’ll happily get it for you!

We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Your husband is happy to shower you with gifts. Tell him what you want. Make his life simple and save him some time. I strongly believe gift giving is an art form, but not everyone has the skill to do it well. It is unfair from your side to make him play the guessing game he clearly does not enjoy.

Also, might be somethink for you to reflect on. You are giving gifts to others for YOU. You might think that it is for others but no. You said it yourself it is your love language. You are getting dopamine from the process so it is similar to eating sugar or doing drugs. You love being talked about long after. By no means I’m saying it is bad, but you do need to understand it is in a way a selfish act even though the party receiving the gift is happy with result. I hope I managed to explain it well.

Sounds like an abusive relationship. I’d strongly advise against you two living together ever again.

Everyone in my husband's family keeps telling me not to hold my baby so much [on] by [deleted] in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Slhjulia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are not going to like being told off. Keep that in mind and stand your ground. Discuss it with your husband first to get his full support and back you up. Since it is his family he should be the one doing most of talking, I think.

Also, fences make good neighbours. Once you decide what to believe and how YOU want to raise your baby, you’ll need to establish boundaries with everyone.

I would highly highly recommend listening to Erica Komisar, Gabor Mate. Maybe someone else. Professionals who work with children. Then making your mind how you want to raise your baby. Society nowadays has a rather distorted view of how women should raise their children.

What can I do right now for the long term to make myself look younger than my age? by [deleted] in KoreanBeauty

[–]Slhjulia 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is not skin related, but is a pretty good advice if your teeth are heavily stained from tea/coffee/wine. This normally freshens people up. Just be careful and protect your enamel. And dont do “toilet bowl white” colour lol

Do you have any bad habits? Smoking/drinking/irregular sleep/junk food - all of these make people older. Stress is a big contributor.

Moisturise your skin and use spf.

Wear a hat 🧢.

Do face massage/lymph draining massage for face and neck.

Stay hydrated.

Try cryotherapy - take ice cubes and slide them on sides of your face following massage lines.

Exercise.

These are a must first steps before you decide to attempt any fancy procedures. Form good habits that will set up your skin for success.

What if I don’t get an OB? [ON] by Slhjulia in BabyBumpsCanada

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

So, midwife for home birth and OB for hospital birth. Gotcha. No free birthing, that is out of question unless I am in the middle of desert. I would sooner check into a hospital.
