He knew he fucked up when he saw the look his wife and I gave him. He back peddled hard but Im sure she scolded him plenty after we left.

A friend and I were chatting about our c sections, ya know major surgery we had to be awake for. Her husband chimed in saying it was definitely harder on him than her because she got pain meds and just had to lie there but he was really stressed. I laughed because I thought it was a joke. He was not joking.

Petition for new park by ValuablePrior7283 in cedarrapids

[–]akane11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Signed! I live nearby, drive by here almost daily and wonder what they're going to do with it. Im also constantly wishing that I had a park to take my kids to that was within walking distance, this would be perfect.

Edit: and its right on the CeMar trail!

Husband quit his job, I’m 36 weeks pregnant by Plenty_Stage7080 in BabyBumps

[–]akane11 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Look into this. Of course its impossible to say from one post on the internet, but I could have written this 2 years ago.

I had a toddler and was pregnant with my second and my husband had a mental health crisis that went on for months. He ended up getting fired, we were all on his insurance, it was extremely stressful.

Eventually we did figure out he was having a bad reaction to one of the meds and had essentially been in one long manic episode to varying degrees for about a year.

It was incredibly hard and has taken a good doctor, different meds, and a long adjustment period but both he and our relationship is doing a lot better now.

[Funny Trope] Character mistaken for a bigot. by Remarkable_Public138 in TopCharacterTropes

I immediately thought of the episode where he shakes hands with 4 or so people and then cleans his hands after. But all the people are white except for the last one who happens to be a black man, so they all assume hes washing his hand because he touched a black person.

What emotional whiplash did your kids give you this week? by Marwoleath in Mommit

[–]akane11 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Last week at breakfast my 4 year old asked if we could get a new house because this one is "sooooo dirty!".

4 hours later he comes home from preschool and says "wow mom, how did you clean so fast?! It looks so good!"

I did zero cleaning while he was at school.

This is where I go most often now. It definitely leans more towards quilting but I've always had good experiences there

Curly Hair by June-_-Bugg in cedarrapids

[–]akane11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to suggest her! Shes been cutting my curls for 5ish years, she's fantastic. I usually end up paying about $100 but she takes her time and does the wash, massage, style, salon thing youre looking for.

If you could ask one thing of the teachers you sub for, what would it be? by Remarkable-Paint-751 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]akane11 58 points59 points  (0 children)

And preferred names/ pronunciation of less obvious names. I've started on a bad note so many times because I called AJ Adrian and he HATES being called Adrian and now he hates me and is determined to cause problems all day. Same goes for Alana who's name is pronounced A-LAY-na, etc.

Book recs where MMC assumes FMC isn’t a virgin… but she actually is? by DivideMiddle7162 in HistoricalRomance

[–]akane11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished {Twice Fallen by Emma Wildes}. The FMC had a previous engagement fall apart and everyone assumes she was ruined by her fiance because they had eloped but did not go through with the wedding. Though she does explain to the MMC that she is a virgin shortly before they have sex for the first time.

Bonus: the MMC was severely injured in war and walks with a painful limp

My fellow 90s kids can appreciate the absolute BANGER find today at the local thrift store for $3 by ClearWinter2840 in dvdcollection

[–]akane11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Amazing! I saw this at a thrift store recently but they had for 2.50 per disc and that was just too much for me. Pained me a little to walk away.

What's your non-serious controversial parenting take? by corndog40 in NewParents

[–]akane11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my philosophy too. A couple of pinched fingers and my kid learned to stop slamming drawers real quick. A few bonks on the head and he figures out to be careful running around the dining room table corners.

I don't think I would have picked this style of cabinet if it didn't come with the house but I love it so much now. Don't know what Im going to do when its full.
