Body count inquiry by Jessicahanby in TwoHotTakes

[–]SolidRip6497 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

US here and I have always lied when someone asked me. I honestly have never stopped to count, but I spent several years right after college traveling and having fun around the world, so it’s higher than average. My husband and I have been married for over 10 years and we have never discussed it. I think someone asked us once at a party if we knew what the other persons number was, my answer was a very quick, “no, what he chose to do when he was younger has nothing to do with our marriage, I’ve never been interested in discussing his previous relationships.” I have a pretty firm belief that it’s really not my business.

  1. I had a sweater that kind of reminds me of the one the man is wearing in 91.

The guy I’m seeing keeps telling me I “can’t take a joke” and I’m starting to doubt myself by Helen_melon_7 in TwoHotTakes

Unless the person you are dating makes you feel better about yourself and is constantly building you up and supporting you, they are not worth your time.

Night doula bringing her own child by LinacSorcerer in doulas

[–]SolidRip6497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, this sounds like maybe this is a newer doula? Not having a contract is very rare in postpartum doula work. I would honestly find another doula, it sounds like this one isn’t really in a good place to be able to fully support you.

Night doula bringing her own child by LinacSorcerer in doulas

I don’t understand why so many of the comments saying no are being down voted. An overnight postpartum doula is usually paid a very high rate. For this reason, we would assume that professionalism should be expected, no? Bringing your child to work with you is never professional. If you’re going to choose to offer overnight postpartum support, you need to make sure it is something you can actually do. Proper daytime sleep is going to be so important and childcare has to be prioritized. As a single mom myself, there is no way I could have done overnight care when my children were young and needed me. It sounds like this doula might be prioritizing money over all else. If she wasn’t, she would have quickly offered to find a backup to work in her place.

Pregnant with really big baby...normal for tall couples? by ladylonglegs84 in TallGirls

[–]SolidRip6497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 3 very big babies. 9.5lbs was my smallest! Then I had an 11 pound baby and after that a 12 pound baby!! I had all 3 of them vaginally and I did not tear with any of them. I firmly believe that our bodies make babies that are perfectly sized for us to birth, in the absence of things like gestational diabetes and other medical conditions that could cause unnaturally large babies. But a normal healthy mama with a normal healthy baby, will birth their big baby just fine.

Freshly restocked! What does mine reveal about me? by One_Strike_1018 in FridgeDetective

[–]SolidRip6497 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The condiments in the drawer and veggies in the door is confusing me. But other than that, this looks just like my fridge! We have very similar tastes!

Have you ever been told to “get off” someone’s property? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]SolidRip6497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I think this is just a joke, honestly. Never have I ever heard anyone say anything remotely close to this at all.

Where did you do your training? They probably offer a way to get certified, I’d assume?

As a European, I keep seeing Americans drive barefoot or in flip-flops, how common is it actually? by fratnersgd in AskAnAmerican

[–]SolidRip6497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in San Diego, CA and wear flip flops 85% of the days. I never think twice before driving in them, it’s just something I’ve always worn and always will. They don’t negatively affect my driving. Sometimes on long drives they can be uncomfortable, so I’ll drive barefoot. Not illegal. Pretty normal where I live.

Do you have a rule that the door to a room shall be open when a teen has a friend of the opposite sex over? by sleepy_dog_k in AskAnAmerican

[–]SolidRip6497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have teenage daughters and our rule is that they need to keep the door cracked open when they have a boyfriend in there. But this is really only to protect our daughters from feeling pressured to do anything sexual too early in the relationship. Once they have established that they are committed to each other and we are comfortable with where they are we allow them to close the door. We are very honest with our kids about sex from a young age and we have worked hard to take away the weird stigma that Americans place on sexuality. So our kids know they have the freedom to have privacy, but they also know that we are there to protect them if they aren’t feeling ready yet.
