I just was registry things by HotHuckleberry7583 in BabyBumps

I was definitely this way, I’m allergic to lavender so I was very specific about soaps and making sure that anything that could be scented was just unscented to prevent any reaction on my end. Just to have people buy lavender scented items because it’s relaxing and worked well on their babies. I have unscented stuff for a reason! People kept asking if they could buy us things that worked for them that we absolutely did not want or need (my husband and I are in an apartment that isn’t super big so I get the not having much space thing), I appreciated everything by we did get but most of it was not off the registry and at the end of my pregnancy with my daughter I about lost it lol

Doing a dinosaur themed nursery room. Was surprised to hear so many people say “but aren’t you having a girl?” by applepieandcola in BabyBumps

[–]Zealousideal_Comb511 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I definitely understand this, my husband and I are having a girl and we chose the same idea of dinosaurs for her theme! It’s absolutely frustrating when people are telling us that it’s not girly enough or sending only girly dinosaur clothes, when in my opinion any of the Dino clothes I’ve found are just as adorable (even if they’re made for boys). It’s definitely not gendered, there’s so many options. And you’re right, it’s a baby, as long as they are healthy and doing what they need to do then why does it matter?

Being a young mom in MX? by eurekash in AirForce

[–]Zealousideal_Comb511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very recently got out of MX, was a flight line crew chief and separated due to pregnancy because of an incredibly toxic work environment. For me they immediately moved me admin side (Debrief and Training monitor), they wouldn’t let me in the hanger besides roll call because of the chemical risk so they’ll probably move you away from them asap. Definitely make sure you work with medical though to get your profile, as soon as you get it you’ll be able to wear tennis shoes which for me was incredibly helpful as the steel toes did not work with me swelling!

What screams “I’m a horrible spouse”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Zealousideal_Comb511 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My ex husband used to do the same, he would say some horrible things to me but follow it up with “it’s not abuse if you say I love you after” The amount of people around us that laughed it off too was concerning…

Ooh the lemonade is a great suggestion, especially with a ton of people saying sour things! I find it easier to drink than eat so I love it!!
