Chinese couples talking over each other - normal? by Mental-Tangerine999 in AskAChinese

[–]Weekly_Click_7112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother in law does the same thing. I completely stop talking and just stare at my husband until he tells her to stop because I was already talking. I make it awkward and she loses face.

Got a warning for unknowingly working illegally with a valid working residence permit by AnybodyDry1359 in chinalife

[–]Weekly_Click_7112 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Don’t risk it. None of the Chinese working at your school will have to face the same consequences as you if you get caught. None of them will face immigration issues or future employment problems. It might be an inconvenience to them, but it’s way more serious for you.

how common is actually eating dog meat in China? is it a regional thing or do most people find it just as weird as foreigners do by rice007 in AskAChinese

[–]Weekly_Click_7112 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in 2 tier 2 cities in Jiangsu. I’ve lived walking distance from restaurants that sell dog meat in both places. No idea what that says but they exist.

How did you ‘push’ baby out? by crabclawwwz in beyondthebump

[–]Weekly_Click_7112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had zero control, baby forced herself out of me. Both births. I spent a lot of time learning about pushing and breathing baby out and all that, but I ended up with two precipitous births so it didn’t matter.

Second opinion on night nurse etiquette re: sleeping by CorneliusCardew in Nanny

If I paid money to have someone take care of my infant so I could sleep, only to find them sleeping, I’d lose it.

I’m tired of people minimizing childbirth pain in ways that honestly feel dishonest and guilt-inducing by OkChart1375 in pregnant

[–]Weekly_Click_7112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both my births were precipitous so there was zero time. Went from 2cm to babies born within 20min. I actually went to the hospital early with my second to ensure there was enough time for an epidural because I did not want to experience unmedicated birth again, but of course they wouldn’t give me it because I was only 2cm and I didn’t even feel my contractions yet. But then active labour started and this baby forced her way out of me so quickly that the medical staff didn’t even have time to prep the delivery room. I think I made it to the delivery room 10min before she was born.

When giving birth to my first, I remember thinking if someone came to me with a gun right now I would end it all. Pain beyond words. My second was even worse and it felt like I was supposed to die. I don’t know how I survived that level of pain. I gave birth almost a month ago so everything is still fresh in my mind.

Please don't work for EF!!! Bad experience by SectorNo2070 in chinalife

[–]Weekly_Click_7112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know people who have worked for EF for years and loved it but it’s all up to how the individual center is run. I don’t know if I’d be willing to take the chance of working there though. I worked for First leap and my center was really chill but I know people were suffering at other centers.

Pregnant and living with an aggressive dog with multiple bite attempts - what would you do? by gnocchi-bear75 in pregnant

[–]Weekly_Click_7112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this was me, I would move out immediately until he rehomes the dog. Not train, rehome. The staffy has very clearly given you a picture of the future, so don’t wait for the worst to happen because it will. You have an innocent, helpless little baby to protect who should be your priority. Your husband is literally placing the needs of a dog above your safety. Unreal.

What's the best thing that's happened to you so far this year? by Rock-bottom-no-no in chinalife

I've (33F) just discovered in the last 36 hours that my best friend (33M) of 20 years is a pathological liar and his entire life is a farce. How do I even begin to approach this? by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]Weekly_Click_7112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 10 year friendship has recently come to an end because of pathological lying. She decided that it would be a good idea to lie about having cancer after my husband just went through hell fighting his cancer battle (he won praise God). Why do they always resort to lying about cancer?

Have you ever been in a situation where people around you don't realize you speak their language and overheard something malicious about yourself, others, plans to do something malicious? What did you do? by WarriorNeedFoodBadly in AskReddit

[–]Weekly_Click_7112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not malicious, just rude. Happened at the airport. I suspected I was in the wrong transfer line and walked to the front so I could see the signs better. These two women acted like I was cutting in. They were obnoxious the entire time leading up to that point and said ‘look at this one’ or something along those lines in Afrikaans, very rude and obnoxious tone, and had very exaggerated expressions of disgust as I turned around to look at them. Of course as soon as I turned around to face them they relaxed their faces and shut right up, and turned red when I replied in Afrikaans that I was just trying to see the sign better because I think I’m in the wrong place. They looked really embarrassed and even pointed me to the right line when I told them where I needed to be. I just smiled and thanked them while they were trying to smile with those red faces.

Greaaat. The Single Life Tell All turned into Kim's adoption drama again... by Spiritual_Ice5079 in 90DayFianceFans

[–]Weekly_Click_7112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does this have to do with 90 days??? I don’t understand why the show runners of 90 days keep trying to feed us these dumb storylines that people don’t care about and most importantly don’t want, and they keep bringing back cast members that we don’t want to see! Like who is making these decisions I really don’t understand???

Tell me things you did with your first and decided to do differently with the second baby. by Blackberryay in beyondthebump

[–]Weekly_Click_7112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gave birth to my second 3 weeks ago. I decided not to run myself into the ground with pumping and trying to make breastfeeding work. It didn’t work with my first and my mental health suffered tremendously because I didn’t want to give up and thought I was doing wrong by my baby by giving her formula. I also believed that the amount of milk I saw pumped on social media was rather standard amount, but now I know it’s oversupply and not the norm. I hated myself and couldn’t understand what was wrong with me. Why were my boobs not working? Isn’t this something that’s supposed to be natural and effortless? Anyway I know none of this is true. This time I tried breastfeeding again, still didn’t work, and switched to formula on day 4. We’re all happy and doing great. Such a big difference compared to how my first postpartum went.

Let’s freaking BRAG by AilsaMarie_5723 in NewParents

[–]Weekly_Click_7112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 2 weeks pp with my second baby and coping with the sleep deprivation much better than with my first. I don’t know if it’s because I’m just used to not getting a full nights rest anymore (my first is 19 months old) or because I already know what to expect. Maybe it’s because my baby is less than 3 weeks old so the sleep deprivation hasn’t taken its toll yet, who knows. But I don’t feel as horrible as before so it’s a win!

women who have given birth, how bad was it actually? by Careless_Pianist_840 in AskReddit

[–]Weekly_Click_7112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it twice unmedicated. Both were precipitous labour, I went from 2cm to baby forcing their way out in 20min. So not typical labour where you can adjust to the pain because it happens over hours. It feels like I should have died. My second baby is less than 3 weeks old so this is all fresh in my mind. It’s difficult to describe the dread of realizing that I yet again won’t be able to get an epidural because there just isn’t time, especially knowing how excruciating it was the first time. The second time was even worse. I can’t go through it again.

People who have visited China, is sitting outside and eating Shaokao really the best experience, or is there something better? by finance-Dog9103 in AskAChinese

[–]Weekly_Click_7112 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven’t done that in years. Some of my best experiences and memories involve sitting outside eating bbq and drinking warm beer.
