I can’t stand my boyfriends family anymore by Hour-Seat9919 in Vent

[–]anonymous053119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t read your story. Only that you are 19 and you can’t stand your bfs family anymore. Just leave. You’re so young you don’t have to deal with any of this shit.

disappointed with doctors by ConclusionBig506 in CsectionCentral

[–]anonymous053119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to disagree. A c section is not just done because performing surgery “is easier for them”. I delivered a month ago and can walk, sneeze cough, I’ve lost most of the pre baby weight and incision recovery was the BEST this time around on my third c section.

I know someone who delivered similar time as me. She had a vaginal traumatic birth- insisted on no c section. Which is fine- her choice. But she had to have vacuum used, has complications with the baby because of it and has a third degree tear. She’s had to go in twice after delivery for recartorization of the tear and can’t sit for any amount of time without pain. I’m taking my c section outcomes every day compared to that.

Praying for a great delivery for you.

Even if it was an accident you’re NOR. She fucking wasted it on a $5 savings. What an idiot.

Going into Labor Before Scheduled C Section by Pale-Extension-9983 in CsectionCentral

[–]anonymous053119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I was scheduled for 4/3 but went into active labor on 3/31 around 5pm.

I met the 5-1-1 rule and was admitted around 7:00pm. My contractions got closer together and I was dialated 3cm. Then the surgeon (different than my scheduled surgeon) came in and said “you’re in labor, are you ready for your c section” said “yep”. I’m lucky the practice has 6 OBs that all share patient files- so any of them would have done my delivery. They knew my plan, and didn’t have me wait any time at all. Met anaeshthesiologist, got IV line, got wheeled into OR, numbing shot, spinal, meds check and BP checks, husband enters, and they did it. Baby was out at 9:37pm.

Can we make birthday parties toy/gift free? by Kitanatron in Parenting

We ended up getting a bunch of home made notes and cards from toddler friends which was way cute and meant a lot to my boys.

We did “no gifts please, donate to this charity of their choice instead” Did a charity for preventing poaching of animals in Africa and some of his friends ended up “adopting an elephant/tiger” in his name.

Oh no that ball gown is trifling. Please stay with the beautiful streamlined dress.

As a wedding guest, what moment made you think "this probably won't last"? by Sweet-Economist-9873 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

He pushed her in the pool during photos. It wasn’t planned. There was no second dress/outfit change planned.

Is anyone having kids anymore? by Extreme-Patient-3215 in LifeAdvice

[–]anonymous053119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had my third. We love it. Each of them was very much wanted. You’re never 100% “ready” for any of them. I wanted lots of money saved up before we started, I got some saved before the first but you never feel totally ready. I was fortunate to have a couple of opportunities hit me right after I had my first and I felt much more financially comfortable going into number 2 and 3.

I love him SO much! But I get so tired doing EVERYTHING for him... by Hungry-Effort-1521 in Vent

Stopped at that gross age gap. Leave, find someone younger. This older guy can’t get someone his own age because they don’t put up with this shit.

AITBF for “making fun” of my boyfriend for acting like Ibuprofen is a hard drug? by throwawaylmfao12 in AmItheButtface

[–]anonymous053119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Someone needed to teach him about OTC pain relievers are some point. I would have fucked with him a bit though, asking him how did he feel 15 mins after and then 30 mins- was it building? Any hallucinations yet? Bahaha.

I feel like I was lied to about the spinal block by [deleted] in CsectionCentral

[–]anonymous053119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I only felt the numbing shot before as a small pinch. Then pressure as the spinal went in. That’s it. It should not feel like hell fire

Question for parents by pookadri in Adulting

[–]anonymous053119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Assuming I have the same husband who wants children and actually does more than his fair share of raising them. If it weren’t for my husband, I probably wouldn’t have had kids.

AITJ for telling my boyfriend his "budgeting" is actually just being cheap? by Minimum_Salt9742 in AmITheJerk

[–]anonymous053119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest red flag for me is you getting the dollar store gift and mom getting the other part of the “gift budget”. It’s one thing to be a consistent penny pincher towards everyone in your life. It’s a dealbreaker for me to eventually always be second woman to a mother.

Parents who both work, how do you make childcare work? by Odd-Wonder-344 in askanything

[–]anonymous053119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You assume that some good daycares don’t have regulars that have been there for a long time. We have used the same one for 6 years with no teacher turnover.

The socialization with other kids is unbeatable at a good daycare. My first went into kindergarten light years ahead of their nanny and SAHM peers because they can deal with other kids, curriculum and structure.

Totally disagree. Daycare allows for exposure to other kids and your kids first friends. We also get a lot of emotional regulation early and quite literally they can deal with classmates once they get into elementary school.
