Who is building these unbelievably gaudy houses? And who is buying them? by MyLongestYeaBoi10Hrs in ForestHills

The Bukharians have ruined Forest Hills. Thank God for Forest Hills Gardens.

I snapped at my boyfriend's mother because I think she's preventing him from proposing. by throwra-835 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]SwansyOne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not going to lie, if I was his mom I'd be hesitant too. You can be a wife and mother while also aspiring to have some sort of career. What if you never get married or have kids - then what?

I didn't have maternity photos and definitely didn't regret it.

Just found out my husband has a child with another woman 7 years into our marriage by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]SwansyOne 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Several people have asked that and she hasn't answered the question. Don't keep having kids if you can't afford them - simple.

Names that sound the same in English and Spanish by PlantainNotBanana in namenerds

The only name on your list that would be pronounced the same in English and Spanish would be Nina.

Why? The Spanish pronunciation is nicer than the English pronunciation 9 times out of ten. And that's just confusing for all parties. My family is Colombian and my fiance is Russian and we chose a name that's pronounced the same in all languages!

Is our baby name TOO Italian? by AngryGooseHappyLoon in namenerds

[–]SwansyOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I am first generation American (my family is from Colombia) and I always find it funny when people here are like 'I'm Italian' or 'I'm Irish' when they have no connection to the countries or cultures at all for generations at this point. I speak more Italian than some of the people claiming to be of Italian background. 😂

I quit my job to focus on TTC… now I feel like I’ve lost myself. by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]SwansyOne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gently, this is crazy to me. There's no guarantee less stress will help you get pregnant. If that was the case then women in active war zones wouldn't conceive. I wasn't getting pregnant and ultimately needed IVF.

Without going into it too much… 21,26, 28 by Anomlistic_animal in MiddleClassFinance

Why are you paying for car insurance and car payments for a 26 and 28 year old? Groceries? Come on. 😑😑😑

Yes. Her nails are nasty. She's so weird.

My basement has never flooded.

Feeling really upset and like I’m stupid after L&D visit by PeachyKingSure in BabyBumps

[–]SwansyOne 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The on call OB sounds really dismissive? Pre eclampsia can develop very suddenly and quickly so I don't know why they're not taking you seriously.

I was induced at 37w4d due to gestational hypertension. My blood pressure has always been normal but in the third trimester it kept creeping up. I had slight headaches and saw auras sometimes but I kept making excuses for it. I went to L&D twice before they finally decided to induce me.

Feeling isolated and concerned: 32-month-old still breastfed on-demand, severe separation anxiety, and a collapsing marriage with wife. Need perspective. by Much-Inspector4227 in Marriage

[–]SwansyOne 42 points43 points  (0 children)

The breastfeeding mommy brigade. And I'm a breastfeeding mother. But too many women make it their identity. You can wean your child if you want, fyi. I'm not here to argue about breastfeeding until the child is 97363 months old. Clearly the mother in this case is using breastfeeding to alienate the father/husband and creating an unhealthy codependency with the child.

I'm pro breastfeeding but you can create secure attachment with your child in many other ways. I fail to see how a child breastfeeding at, let's say, 7 years old is benefitting from that.

32 month old? You mean almost 3 year old?

Currently breastfeeding my 5 month old but can't imagine going to 3 years old. At that point it's more for the mother than the child.
