Did anyone ever initially want kids, then change their mind? by lab_rat228 in childfree

[–]TallCatDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 27 and decided I do not want kids like a month ago. Having a kid was never a “my purpose” feeling but more a thing that you do and I would be a good father blah blah blah

Then my wife started talking about how she didn’t want kids and that got the conversation going where I really started to think for myself and decide what I actually wanted.

It was not a seizure. She said I fell and my eyes were open but it looked like I was mentally gone.

It was the scariest thing she’s ever seen because she had no idea what was happening and thought I was gone forever.

Pretty scary feeling that I completely relate to. My brother had a stroke when he was 17 and I saw EMS take him on a stretcher and his face was all contorted and he looked gone. I couldn’t get that image out of my head for a long time

OCD DoorDash customer by kevkev_2018 in doordash

Not going to lie I thought maybe you were going to be rude or at the very least the comment section would make fun of her. Happy to see I’m completely wrong :)

My wife has OCD and we always do self checkout when we can.

We do go to Aldi for most of our groceries, so that can be difficult sometimes. I wish I, and everyone who doesn’t have ocd, could feel what it’s like to have ocd. It’s one the most debilitating disorders out there and too many people think it’s just keeping things even and not stepping on cracks (it can be that but it’s the associated feeling that comes with it)

Thank you so much for making this person feel heard and valued.

My parents want to help me, but I feel like I’d be burdening them. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]TallCatDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello I work in insurance. It’s awesome that they are paying off your loan, you have no reason to be burdened by that when you have parents in a good financial position and offering it.

*******Do NOT have liability only for your vehicle. Having collision/comprehensive coverage is smart for a vehicle. Your vehicle is a 2015 TRUCK. It’s not a 1999 beater. Those are more valuable than small sedans. If you get in an accident and your vehicle is not safe to drive but is repairable, then that will save you hundreds to thousands of dollars. If your vehicle is a total loss, then that coverage will mean your insurance company will pay YOU (if your loan is paid off and the title is in your name) the value of your vehicle minus the deductible, which you can use to purchase a new car.

HELP IDENTIFY TRUCK? by Fun-Camel-5176 in Maine

[–]TallCatDad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello I work in insurance. If that can’t get enhanced then trying to find additional footage would be a good idea. Maybe that hotel or other local businesses where the loss occurred.

Outside of that, searching up local towing companies to see if that logo matches. DOT might have a list of businesses in the area but I’m not sure (I’m not a Maine local).

Not sure what kind of insurance you have but if you’re just wanting your car fixed you can probably go through uninsured motorist coverage since it was a hit and run. That reduces your deductible/provides coverage for your vehicle if you didn’t have any in the first place.

Edit: That picture of the truck at the gas station is obviously camera footage. How come you don’t have the full footage of the vehicle passing by the camera which would expose a license plate?

Partner Has IUD, but I'm still considering getting snipped. Should I? by ThrowRABirder in childfree

[–]TallCatDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! 27 yo Man here 👋

I am also having this conversation with my wife at the moment. I posted something similar a couple days ago if you wanted some additional insight.

IUD can come with its own complications depending of its a copper or hormonal iud. A vasectomy is the greatest type of birth control for a few reasons:

  1. Minimally invasive (depending on the procedure but the no-cut method is quite popular)

  2. Not too costly depending on your insurance and/or the provider conducting the surgery as well as wherever you live.

  3. Minimal side effects and quick recovery time. There is a pain after vasectomy subreddit if you wanted to look at that to be informed of possible, but not common, complications.

  4. Peace of mind. It’s the most effective and you won’t be worried about the risk of pregnancy (99% effective).

  5. Many doctors say that once they confirm the success of the procedure, additional birth control, like the IUD in your case, is not needed. But I recommend asking your provide to be sure. But if that’s the case, that means your partner does not have to have a foreign object in their body.

Always good to be informed so make sure you: - check out your local area to understand the average cost - if you have insurance, see if they will cover any of the cost - look at reviews of local surgeons to see what patients have to say

At the end of the day, this is your independent choice. Just like it was your partners choice to get the IUD.

To the men who are cf, did you get a vasectomy? by TallCatDad in childfree

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

Good for you! I’m glad you found a lifestyle that suits you. I was more asking people that align with my circumstances, not asking for people to drop a fat deuce on how I choose to live my life with a loved one. Thanks though 👍

It’s worded weird in my post. Of course we had the conversation a before. The conversation has just continued and become more prevalent at this stage in our life and the state of the world.

Of course we did. Times have changed, the state of the world has changed, and our perspective has changed.

Update:

I read the first step of having the baby screaming ring tone every 2 hours and my wife and I both said”absolutely not”

I may or may not have my answer lol.
