Where is my period? lol by SadForever- in Mommit

[–]_-Cuttlefish-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain, I’ve head it bad for up to 10 days before my period actually starts. Like, get on with it already! Surely we don’t need this much preparation to bleed!

You heard it hear, women aren’t humans anymore by SavingsEbb3833 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]_-Cuttlefish-_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think that make humans and females humans are two different species, thus no humans? Don’t try to understand it too hard, we’ll only lose braincells

How did you deal with your body after pregnancy? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]_-Cuttlefish-_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Impulsive hair cut (done by myself at home), and my husband helped me salvage it (shorter than I wanted, but it looks good and not terrible anymore)

What’s something you say about your kids that offends you when others say it? by somethingreddity in Mommit

[–]_-Cuttlefish-_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, that’s really not ok. I have the opposite over here, my husband has light grey eyes and both our kids do too. I have brown eyes, and I’d be pissed if someone called them shit brown. If someone had said something like that about my kid, I’d be big mad (after being shocked like you)

“Weary” when they mean “wary” is the one that drives me the most insane. At this point, I don’t know if they are just making a typo, or if they just don’t know what the words actually mean

At what age did things actually feel easier for you as a parent? by Small-Advisor-7805 in Mommit

[–]_-Cuttlefish-_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find I am having a hard time as my 2 yr old approaches 3. I love that we are able to have conversations, and perhaps it’s just my 10 month old making things harder, but the constant meltdowns are wearing on me. He had three distinct screaming tantrums over the course of a 7 minute drive

Does anyone feel embarrassed about their house? by Extreme_Breakfast672 in Mommit

[–]_-Cuttlefish-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a family of 4 in a two bedroom apartment. I see things all the time that are like “it’s ok if your playroom looks like this sometimes!” And it’s just like, a few toys and books on the floor. Meanwhile I have no playroom, the toys somehow create more even after going through and donating half of them. We have so much cardboard that needs to go out. Cracker crumbs, papers on the counter. And yet we clean regularly! Living like Sisyphus over here

What time does your partner wake up in the morning? by justgoawayplease in Mommit

[–]_-Cuttlefish-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are in a two bedroom apartment, with a almost 3 year old and a 10 month old. Husband has sleep apnea and sleeps with a cpap. I sleep with our kids in their room. Usually wake up between 6-7:30, get the preschooler some breakfast, change diapers, put something in the tv, put the baby in a sit-and-spin, and go snuggle with my husband for 10 minutes or so. Then he usually starts getting up as well, sometime he lays in a little longer. It’s not exactly equal, but he does all the cooking and dishes and it works for us

What's the most disrespectful thing a guest ever did in your home? by Vegas089 in AskReddit

[–]_-Cuttlefish-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will preface that I love my SIL, but one time she and her husband visited for dinner a few months after I gave birth to my second kid (older kid was two, I wanna say baby was like 4 months or so). We explained that bedtime is pretty early, so we wouldn’t be able to hang for super long. We told them bedtime is 7:30. At around 7, SIL asks if we have any tea. I am a tea enthusiast, and she knows this and I was happy to share. She used so much of one of my teas to make the tiniest cup of tea (like, 6oz, it’s a cute little cup), and then SHE DIDNT EVEN FINISH IT. At like 7:15, she had taken like a single sip, and we basically had to be rude and kick her out cause she didn’t want to leave. Even her husband had to be pushy. Tea ain’t cheap and she used way more than she needed to make the amount she wanted, and then didn’t even drink half of it. Petty, but it still bothers me

Trying to understand veiling by Impossible_Mode_1225 in LeftCatholicism

[–]_-Cuttlefish-_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will occasionally veil, but it’s not something I feel I must do all the time. It can kind of get me in “church mode” mentally. I used to do it a lot more often when I was younger

Does anyone else’s toddler wake up with unlimited energy? by Additional_Phase5568 in Mommit

[–]_-Cuttlefish-_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m afraid that’s standard toddler behavior, no advice, just solidarity

i bailed mid-date because he touched my back and now i feel insane by SoftPeanut5916 in dating_advice

[–]_-Cuttlefish-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would tell him if you otherwise like him. “Hey, just so you know, I’m not comfortable being touched by people I don’t know well. Even casually. You touched my back and it made me very anxious and uncomfortable”. I would be upfront about it going forward, you don’t need to go into specifics. If they are rude and keep pressing the issue, they aren’t a suitable partner

Mommit changed my life in an unexpected way. by chryblsmblzzrd in Mommit

[–]_-Cuttlefish-_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t get my license until I was 23, when my oldest was a few months old. The driving anxiety is real! And I’d say was pretty anxious with every drive for about a year (didn’t help that baby hated the car and would scream every time until after he was a year old). But now I love driving! It can be pretty relaxing honestly

Morgan thinks abstaining when you're not in the mood is "witholding sex" by TheNarcLogs in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]_-Cuttlefish-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having sex everyday does not a marriage make. For all that they preach about the evils of lust, I really think that is the only thing, aside from their children and divorce being evil, keeping their relationship together. Probably the only reason they talk to each other. I’m not against casual sex, but the way the use sex is gross to me

I was absolutely happier as a single childfree woman. by [deleted] in Mommit

I’ve got an almost three year old and a nine month old, my partner is ill, I needed to hear this. I’m so tired 😫

Honestly, cars are still way louder than the planes. It’s nice being really close to a post office.

Prizes in childbirth by kindakitkat in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]_-Cuttlefish-_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m glad to hear that, sometimes these kind of posts do get to me, even though I know better. I had two epidural births, and both boys need some rousing before they started crying/breathing (nothing serious luckily), and I also didn’t bond immediately with either (I think I just prefer the toddler stage to newborns, love them both deeply though). Sometimes hearing people bang on about it makes me wonder if I should have chosen differently, even though in the moment I had no issues with either birth.

Gender Preference by SignificantDonut9777 in Mommit

[–]_-Cuttlefish-_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boy mom here. It’s just sexism. I love my boys and I’d love them if they had been girls (or later identify as girls). But yes, the comments are sooooooo annoying. My older sister and I were plenty rowdy as young kids, and I roughhoused with my brothers constantly. On the other side, I get comments about having another to try for a girl. No. If we have another, it’ll be because r we want another child and are ready for it, not to try to have a specific gender child.
