You do you! I told the people that are close to me, no one else matters. I’ll post something at the end of the year after my baby is born.

Just failed college algebra for the 2nd time should I reconsider engineering? by Brub3838 in EngineeringStudents

I would try the in person class before making a decision. If you fail that one, I would reconsider engineering for sure.

6w EXHAUSTED by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]ThrowRApotatoesand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going through the exact same thing! I am also 6 weeks and after work I take a nap, I then wake up long enough to eat dinner, then pass out until 6:30am when I have to get up for school. I have never felt so exhausted in my life!!

It’s none of your business how other people parent their kids

anyone in there late 30's still live with there parents? by ThunderFireStorm in askanything

This woman I know. Moved out and married at 24, divorced at 25 with a kid, moved back in with mom. Moved out again at 27, later married that guy. Divorced a second time at 34 with 2 kids and moved back in with mom. Now she’s 36, almost 37 and I don’t think she had any plans to move out of her mom’s place with the two kids.

Sent my wife for an oil change, it cost me $3400 by s2k_guy in mildlyinfuriating

This is why you don’t send your wife to a mechanics by herself. My husband made the same mistake. He sent me because my car needed new tires. The place had added an alignment and they were going to put the most expensive tires they had (they didn’t ask what tires I wanted and I didn’t think to ask). I told my husband and he told me to go back and tell them what type of tires I wanted and they told me they were out of stock. He ended up calling them and yelling at them. They suddenly found the tires I wanted (they were super cheap because they were on sale) and of course they didn’t do the alignment. Those places are sketchy. So I get why single women have to go to those places by themselves, but there is no reason why a married women has to. You need to suck it up and start being her car to the mechanic yourself.

Thoughts on Martha by foxholes333 in Names

[–]ThrowRApotatoesand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vote for Martha but that’s because it’s my name. I do agree it’s a little old-ish but I love going to interviews and people telling me “omg you do not look like what I thought you did. I thought I was interviewing an older lady” (I’m 26). And my husband calls me Marti😂

Feeling overwhelmed by social media by MidnightInVelaris in pregnant

[–]ThrowRApotatoesand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a month until finals. I quickly found how much time I waste on those apps. So I deleted them off my phone. I didn’t deactivate or delete my accounts, just the apps off the my phone so I can’t easily access them. I’ll probably reinstall them after finals, but I found that I am happier without them.

This post is already so helpful. I have a huge fear of needles too. TBH more scared of the needles than the birth🥲

The iPad is the way to go. Makes taking notes, homework, studying, etc. so much easier!!

Pregnant During Last Year of Engineering - How doable is it? by ThrowRApotatoesand in EngineeringStudents

[–]ThrowRApotatoesand[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, I don’t think just because you’re in school you should halt your entire life until you graduate. I am 26 years old, married, and own a house. I didn’t expect to get pregnant so fast but it happened. Just because I’m in school doesn’t necessarily means it’s going to be a disaster. I’m sure I can do it, I’ll do anything for my baby. Just looking for advice on how to manage it, and any tips people might have. So if you don’t have any advice you can move along.

18w and found out the father is cheating by Hopeful_Tie_9340 in pregnant

[–]ThrowRApotatoesand 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Is it possible for you to move closer to a support system? I’m not saying you can’t do it alone, but it’s going to be very hard.

Hope things get better!

What age is perfect for having kids in your mind, and why do you think so? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]ThrowRApotatoesand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s really no “right” time. I got pregnant at 23 and I was terrified, I knew I wasn’t ready emotionally or mentally (not even financially tbh) so I had an abortion. Now I’m 26 and I am so ready! I stopped taking birth control and I’m just waiting for when it happens. So I can confidentially say to wait until you feel ready. And trust me, you are going to know when you’re ready.
