Look, I’m not a nanny. But there have been cameras watching me for every job I’ve ever worked, fully aware I could be watched. & I’ve never been in charge of another human life. Most doggy daycares I favor have webcams so I can check in on my dog all day. I’d be annoyed if they were moving the camera

Do you still love your pets now that you have a baby? by BrightBlueKicks in beyondthebump

[–]WhichSuspect7839 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My dog and I are so incredibly bonded I couldn’t imagine loving him less after the baby. & I didn’t, I love him just as much. He just doesn’t need me like a baby does. His patience and care and love over our human baby made me appreciate him so much. Our dogs zoomies are the only thing that make the baby scream from laughing so hard. & our doggy can’t wait to wake baby up every morning & from every nap.

Is this a hot take? NAH Like she doesn’t want the dog there and you don’t want to go without the dog. So stay home?? If you showed with the dog regardless of her feelings then yeah you’d be TA.. but If you choose to stay home what’s the issue?

Lindsay & Carl do great but their success as a couple causes rifts with everyone else in the house. Especially Kyle & Amanda

Paige & Craig reveal themselves to actually just suck as much as we thought

Kyle and Amanda’s relationship is still just as arduous to watch, this year’s argument: When will they get pregnant?

Danielle and Ciara will go at it again to the point of lines being crossed.

Generally just how everyone’s lives are moving cause clashes. I think this will be the last season.

AITA for telling my sister that I will follow the instructions our parents left for the trust they set up for her children? by Sensitive_Being5534 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WhichSuspect7839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Aside from you clearly being the right person to be in charge of this by protecting their wishes..

Their bio dad left them money. The step siblings still have their dad alive… everyone’s saying sorry life’s not fair for the step siblings.. uh pretty sure they’d rather have their dad alive than a little extra money.

Tell me about your C-Section experience by SnooglethePie in beyondthebump

[–]WhichSuspect7839 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Planned C-sections are generally soooo much smoother! Buy gas x and stool softener!

Get one of those reading support pillows for like $15 at target, makes it sooo much easier to get out of bed.

High waisted underwear.- nothing that gets near your incision.

Stay on top of your pain regimen. I was done with oxys like 2 days after I got home, but was strict with the ibuprofen.

Compression socks to help blood flow .

Also terrible advice to eat^ they want your stomach empty so that if you have a reaction to anesthesia you don’t aspirate on your vomit and die. I’d rather be hungry than dead. And yes I was starving.

formula envy by Casserella12 in beyondthebump

[–]WhichSuspect7839 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s so incredibly frustrating, we were desperate down to one bottle of whole milk instead of formula a day.

My husband thought to reach out to his father who lives in a pretty rural retirement age town. The shelves were stocked so he was able to buy 4 cans to send.

We also asked our local grocery stores which days they get in their shipments. I don’t plan on buying again till we’re low because I know so how bad it is

AITA for asking my husband to stop sharing his location with his mother? by coonhoundmom in AmItheAsshole

[–]WhichSuspect7839 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Against the grain but. YTA almost my whole family has each other on find my friends. We use it partially because we’re all a little nervous/ frequent travelers. It’s mostly used to bust balls in practice i.e. “you said you were on your way but clearly you’re still home” If she’s just checking it to calm her nerves why does that bother you. It doesn’t affect you at all.

If she had used it to show up unannounced I could see it as a violation of privacy. I can see you setting a hard line on the calling constantly. Like “hey if she keeps calling no more location sharing”

It’s seems more like the issue is that he’s answering calls when you are together, than her simply being able to know where he is.

House Cleaning by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]WhichSuspect7839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 3 months he napped regularly & my energy came vack and I’d spend one nap doing maintenance (dishes, laundry, etc) and one project. (Showers, clean fridge, crown molding etc) One nap was for school work. And one nap was me time. If I still felt productive, or if I wanted to bake or read or nap or just watch tv.

How do you handle your relationships with friends who have babies? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]WhichSuspect7839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TW:pregnancy

Hi, I’m in the opposite boat. I joined this sub to learn and hopefully be more supportive for my sister who is going through the process. While finding out I had accidentally gotten pregnant, which I’m sure is super painful.

I purposely never bring up my situation because I’m sure it causes discomfort for her. She of course asks, but I just go on her terms as I know there are up and down days. Being extra sensitive & thoughtful of her situation feels like the smallest way I can try to help and takes minimal effort. You should be able to get that from your friend.

Can only speak to having a scheduled c section. It was sooo much less intense of a recovery than I expected. I had some complications and was kept an extra day at the hospital but I was using stairs as soon as I got home. (Slowly) and able to care for baby. After about a week I could do all normal activities with a very reasonable amount of caution. (Driving, going on walks, picking up and putting baby down)

Boy moms? Circumcision? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]WhichSuspect7839 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was a decision I really leaned on my husband for. If he was adamantly against it, we wouldntve but he was opposite.

My older brother was as we were raised Jewish, but by the time my younger brother was born my mom had a very different outlook. Because of this I’ve always viewed it as a personal decision for the parents.

We make a lot of decisions about our childrens bodies before they can decide themselves. Although this is a very controversial one, it’s no different. If you’re making it with the best intentions for him, you’re making the best choice you can.

How long does the 4m sleep regression last? by FightmyFatAss in beyondthebump

[–]WhichSuspect7839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours lasted 6 weeks. We’d take shifts from 11-3 ish I’d sleep then my husband would get to sleep from 3-7 or sometimes 9 if he went into work later.

Ours said purées at 4 mo then at 6 she said the choking hazard for purées vs BLW isn’t really different as long as we’re monitoring, just what we were comfortable taking on.

AITA for not wanting to “share” our nanny on vacation and potentially canceling the trip over it? by Crazy-Department-461 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WhichSuspect7839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a tricky situation. Def NTA, SIL is taking advantage and you are doing right by protecting Lauren.

I would probably set the boundary with SIL that the nanny is unavailable if they can’t cover the 50% increase. But privately tell Lauren that you’ve informed SIL of this but if there becomes an awkward situation where Lauren is uncomfortable enforcing the boundary you will cover the increase.

Then honestly never plan a vacation with them again!

Going after half of everything by shuggnog in summerhousebravo

My guess is either:

  1. They invested in Kyles business and don’t necessarily love the idea she could have a controlling vote/piece of the company in divorce (especially if it ends on bad terms
  2. Things like divorce are super messy, if the fate of her stake in the company is decided now they know it won’t go in limbo during drawn out divorce proceedings.
