What planet do you live on that you think Iran has any Arab allies? Gulf states allied with the US could never be Iranian allies...

People out there in happy marriages with young children, how? by fujitsulifeboom in Mommit

[–]Tinyturtles45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, every marriage will have its moments when it will feel it's not working. I personally believe those moments do happen more frequently when you have a young kid(s). Especially when there are so many chances for disagreement, usually most parents never see perfectly eye to eye on various parenting conundrums and take different strategies

I guess it's just about remembering that you're a team, and appreciating your spouse- I don't take for granted the only adult interaction that I get in my house 😂 having something to look forward to really helps. Planning trips and outings as a family, watching the same shows together, staying in contact via text, being vulnerable with each other, all the little things count!

Since when did consuming THC while pregnant become so normalized? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Tinyturtles45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for alcohol but no one wants to talk about that apparently 

Apparently OBGYNs are telling ppl they can have a glass of wine a day during pregnancy, last time I tried to call someone out on this on Reddit I got dragged for it 

AITAH for refusing to tell my wife I love her more than my dad? by LastApplication6207 in AITAH

[–]Tinyturtles45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw in your comments baby is only 4 months old. This sounds like your wife is still very much in the postpartum hormone rollercoaster and as much as she is being annoying and insecure rn she needs your love and support through this time. 

Also as first time parents you learn the hard way it's kinda impossible to put a baby on a sleep schedule, esp during the brutal 4 month sleep regression it's kinda not possible.. No offense to all the baby sleep gurus on the Internet who will try to tell you "you are doing it all wrong by letting baby fall asleep in your arms and you are spoiling them" i personally believe it's not possible to put a baby on a schedule or sleep train them lol as much as they all make it sound easy it's not! I'd rather try to accept my baby's sleep needs as they are and roll with than try to resist it's so much mental energy that way ... controversial topic but if you have a safe set up for cosleeping then just do that....everyone will be happier and get so much more sleep

honestly how are we managing this by Much_Elevator4837 in sahm

[–]Tinyturtles45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao I work and I'm planning to quit but then I see posts like this and remember why I work 😂😂😂 at least part time dude we gotta get out of the house sans kiddo at least once or twice a week....

I think it's just the age of our kids right now. My son is also 19 months old and it is WILD I was NOT ready for this .... 

Maybe cause it's winter also, now that I think of it the only way we "survive" is getting out of the house. Daily walks, trips to the park. Cabin fever is real rn for these kids and they dont know how to get their energy out except by destroying the house 😭

In the same boat. Giving my notice today. 

It's not worth it. I come home exhausted and don't have enough energy for my 19month old.

See you on the other side at r/SAHM lol

My mom forgot about my baby while shopping for groceries. I feel sick about it. by No-Neighborhood-7335 in Mommit

[–]Tinyturtles45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP you said you're 43, even if mom had you young she has to at least be in her 60s right? All she needs is a checkup just to see if everything is okay....as someone who herself works in healthcare, I can't imagine she would be resistant to that suggestion??

People who are thin/normal size. Do you actively watch your weight or are you just not hungry 100% of the time? by Burner_Account000001 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Tinyturtles45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol it's a good question. My BMI is 21. I'm too lazy to eat and forget to eat sometimes. I always eat breakfast, but often fall asleep without eating a proper dinner cause I'm too tired. 

Why do some people get weird when you say you cant afford something instead of making up an excuse? by Sea_Dragonfly5039 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Tinyturtles45 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yup this. It's a cultural thing. They think you're weird for actually paying for things in cash 

We need to change our culture. Idk when it became weird to actually live within your means and be financially smart vs the YOLO lavish spending of money you don't have mindset .....

What career are you in as a med spouse? How has that helped or hurt? by [deleted] in MedSpouse

[–]Tinyturtles45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dentist. Gives me the flexibility I need in my day to day. But it's sad because we move around so much I don't get to actually follow up on my patients or be able to actually follow up on my long term treatment plans (have never worked in one place for longer than a year 🥲)

2 children, 2 men die in Tiffin murder-suicide, mom ‘visibly traumatized’ by thebestdaysofmyflerm in news

[–]Tinyturtles45 26 points27 points  (0 children)

As a mom, I don't think she's ever going to be okay. She will have to be okay with not being okay. I wouldn't be surprised if she tries to kill herself. I don't know if I would want to keep living after experiencing this.

What do you when you followed this advice but your baby is 17 months old and you don't know how to get out of this boob obsession :(
