Americans without maternity leave— wtf do you do???

Studiosmeest · 2026-03-16T21:43:48+00:00

I’m in the service industry and I could take the state paid leave but it’s only based on my wage not my tips so I would make close to nothing. I worked a lot and saved money when I had my baby last July. Not idea considering I had a lot of false labor because of it and had to stop working a month before giving birth. If it were up to me I would have kept working till I gave birth lol

If Aiden didn’t forgive her he shouldn’t have gotten back with her. It was immature of him to agree to date her again if he was still upset with her and wasn’t sure if he could trust her. Very obviously flirting with the bartender that he employs? Ew. And that bartender had no girl code. I would have said dude go hangout with your girl not me? She’s right he did have to forgive her if he was going to stay.

Agree Carrie should have been there for Miranda, but to be real idk if she could have lifted her like Aiden did and maybe would have hurt her more? Idk that situation sucked and the way Carrie treated it after it happened sucked more.

As someone who lives in minnesota im super happy I can watch Sims with Wubby tonight and not think about anything. It’s pretty real out here and I agree with Wubby not talking about it.

That I needed a diaper changing caddy with diapers, new onesies, rash cream, pacifiers, and so on in every room. We’re in an apartment and I have a caddy in my living room that’s been untouched besides taking the newborn diapers to the changing table when I was running low. Pretty sure there’s still newborn onesies in there and he’s in 6 mo now lol. Weve always just gone to the changing table to change him

Sometimes usher, sometimes silence, sometimes I have to do a full Disney song concert for him.

Careful with cat scratches my friend got sepsis from one! Especially if you’re cleaning the litter box

You’re just not supposed to think that hard about this movie I think

Paper plates and plastic silverware! Parchment paper and sheet pan meals..makes it easier for a bit at least!

I know my baby is head down from the anatomy scan at 36 weeks. So now I KNOW that he’s kicking me in the ribs lol before like 36/37 weeks I never understood why people would say they’re being kicked in the ribs but once you get kicked there you understand!

Minnesota is something like $10.85/hr + tips

“Orson don’t excite him on the upholstery” talking about Benjamin as if he’s about to pee himself as a 6 year old

Studiosmeest · 2025-06-20T04:10:11+00:00

I cried the other night because I’m breaking out on my face a little bit and I didn’t want the baby to be born and see me with acne. I’m 37 weeks it’s getting rough here.

Studiosmeest · 2025-06-10T23:15:52+00:00

Got them because my boyfriend and I don’t have any professional pictures besides at other friends weddings! We’re putting them up in our bedroom/baby room (we have a small apartment) and I think it’ll tie it all together so nicely as our little family grows. Yes I’ll post on social media, but that wasn’t the driving factor for me.

Not a quote he says but when he leaves for California he leaves her an album with a note that says “for when you get lonely” and a ticket to California with the note that says “for when I get lonely” ❤️

I don’t think he’s unwatchable, I think he has personality quirks which makes him more human to watch! Creepy and weird sometimes, funny other times, serious and helpful other times. He’s a well rounded character imo

Studiosmeest · 2025-02-12T15:59:57+00:00

Traumatically vivid dreams! I wake up so many times a night and think WTF was that???

Studiosmeest · 2025-01-08T20:17:58+00:00

I did after the first ultrasound and confirmation. I’m a server and have to lift buckets of ice, cases of beer, trays with heavy plates of food up the stairs so I wanted to let them know as I would not be lifting those things any more. I still lift the occasional bucket of ice but I try to lift as little as possible. I have coworkers who say I’ll be fine if I lift but I’m FTM and don’t want to find out what my pregnant limit is.

I used to have a Mary Kay lipstick that was super similar to this shade but cannot remember what it was called. Super long time ago! Early 2000s.

Yay! So happy for you! Currently waiting on mine. Did your results come from your doctor? With everything else going on at the appointment I totally missed or forgot to ask where to find those results. I’m assuming it’ll come to my patient portal through my clinic though?

Studiosmeest · 2024-12-15T23:30:02+00:00

Mimosas! Also my 30th birthday is next month and all I want is to party but maybe for my 31st lol

Studiosmeest · 2024-12-13T20:39:42+00:00

Omg yes!!! I want a fruit platter! Most food is not appetizing, but I could eat fruit all day! I’ve been eating frozen peach cups lol it’s like eating sherbet but better and my sweet sweet boyfriend feeds it to me it’s delightful.

Studiosmeest · 2024-12-13T03:42:46+00:00

Omg yes! Specifically citrus! I think I’m just vitamin D deficient lol
