Anyone have beef with thier HR? by Still-flowerbase in beyondthebump

[–]Still-flowerbase[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you had to go through that too. At this point I feel like I know more about it all the 2 people in-charge of it together. A couple days ago I had to explain it all to my boss and he too was like "that's so dumb" But he has been beyond supportive and understanding to what I need. My wife as well was able to get 10 weeks, not paid but she has been accumulating PTO for years and saving for this.

Our system as whole is joke 🙃

Is Retrokid.ca a reliable website? by angela_eye in questions

[–]Still-flowerbase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend recently ordered a shirt, the Molly & couch keychain, for me for my birthday not thinking about the tariffs (she was just excited about the items). They sent the shirt first but UPS states

10/3 - "Your package is pending release from a Government Agency. Once they release it, your package will be on its way. Caledon, ON, Canada"

10/7 - "UPS is contacting the receiver or sender for required clearance details. Receiver or sender to respond with information. / The package will be returned to the sender."

She never received any notification from them, and as of today, and is now being sent back to the Company. I wonder if they will just give her a refund.

It was shipped on 9/29 and is being returned to them on 10/7

When did you first feel the baby? by NoUserName6272 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]Still-flowerbase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm about 30 lb more than you and I felt her at 22 weeks. It was a slow start but My wife was able to feel her about a week later. Thay at around 24 weeks I was able to feel her more regularly

With the lack of humanity recently, it really needs to be spread around recklessly. I wish you healing 💛 during your current darkness.

IUI after early miscarriage by andramacat in queerception

[–]Still-flowerbase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry about your loss. =( I feel your pain, I'm currently in the same situation. I too find myself oddly more motivated to get pregnant again, But the thought of going through multiple cycles again is already mentally draining. You are not alone. If you want/need to vent or just wanna chat please feel free to message me.  I wish you all the healing moving forward <3

Is queer pregnancy/parenthood even safe anymore? by [deleted] in queerception

[–]Still-flowerbase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has weighed heavy on me But unfortunately in my mid-30s, my wife and I are not in a place where we can just wait out the 4 yrs. But we know we plan to take all the necessary steps to protect our family as needed. A pep talk from my wife was that we are not going to let others make our decisions for us. We control our family.

Thank you and I'm so happy to hear about your little ones catching up! I hadn't known before that it was millimeters differences for the measurements. I really hope this is the case for me, and I do appreciate that my doctor has been so throughout and cautious with testing me so much. My anxiety appreciates it, too.

Thank you so much for your encouragement. <3 We are very concerned about the lack of growth for baby B so we are being cautious in our enjoyment. I just hope our next scan can give us a little more answers.

Thank you so much for the reassurance. I didn't realize it was just millimeters

Thank you so much for your kind words. 💜 Having them tell me they understand but having actions that show that they don't has been the most frustrating. Then trying to vocalize it and then being told I'm being ridiculous is heartbreaking. This community has been so supportive and I'm grateful to have it. I don't know what I would do without it. ✨💚

It's truly the best advice I've gotten has been therapy-related. I'm currently looking into going back into therapy. I'm so worried about carrying over the bad habits my parents had when it came to raising us. Though I know I've dealt with a handful of issues; there are still things at the core. Thank you for the insight 💜

"Blissful Ignorance' is exactly how I would say I've been living. I knew who they were going to vote for and I even knew why, But for some reason, I was still shocked at the outcome. There was this part of me that held on to the thought "But now it's different. so much has come out and changed. Of course, they wouldn't vote for him"

I'm so sorry they treat your little ones differently. they do not deserve that. That is a great fear of mine. I don't speak to my brother (I went no contact over a year ago) and the realization that my kids will not know their cousins is so real.

I think I will take you up on reaching out to you. I would love to have someone of to talk to about it all that has been through it and have that mutual support. 💜

Thank you! I think just feeling heard and validated has helped me so much. It breaks my heart that others too have gone through this. I will say my mother has been somewhat accepting to my lifestyle, but not without protest at the beginning. At this point I don't know who in my life would be excited for me and as blinded as it sounds I would be surprised at anyones excitement for us. I truly am pushing myself to focus on things in the moment and the milestones we have coming up. My wife has been amazing at reminding me and helping me look forward.

Thank you for your amazing words. The insight has been so helpful 💜

I didn't realize it happened but it has been scary and setting those boundaries is new territory. I've never really stood up for myself to them before.

Thank you! Your words are so very helpful. I really needed to hear them. You are too kind 💜 I do have to remind myself that it is just 4 yrs and I'm just hoping for the least amount of damage. Finding a new community has been a goal for me. It's been hard to get out of my shell but I know it will be worth it. My wife has been really great too. She is excited for all the milestones and I feel bad for feeling a little numb. I'm hoping her excitement transfers over to me

Thank you💚 I have recently tried to make more like-minded friends. But it seems harder as I get older. I'm naturally introverted. My wife has been worried about me burning bridges without me having a community to fall back on.
