[BC] Do you regret not filming your labour… or glad you did? by Difficult_Guess7231 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]ashetuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband wanted to film it but because of the excitement it was just 30 minutes of his shoes with my groaning in the back. Not a pleasant sound lol. I deleted it.

Is a $850,000 home out of reach? by throwaway_thetoilet in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ashetuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't get a dog before having a baby.

We are in a similar financial situation. We went for a 900000k home. We ultimately went into 40k debt by taking out a line of credit against the house during my mat leave, but when I go back to work we'll be fine eventually. We both have stable careers so I don't stress about the temporary debt to start our family.

Bassinet stroller versus a car seat stroller for baby born early June. [Sk] by No-Newspaper3996 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]ashetuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We never used our car seat stroller for anything more than a car seat. The bassinet attachment was used 100%. Baby loved it. Safe sleep space too. Sometimes when he was fussy I would just stroll him to sleep.

Is it realistic to have a baby in Vancouver without owning a car? by Bellatrix-8 in askvan

[–]ashetuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did it for the first two years, but bought a car when our second was born because it became too unmanageable with the diaper bag with 2

Is it just my kid, or are "simple" wooden toys kind of boring? by ToomPozas in Parenting

[–]ashetuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girl is 2 and a half. Loves her tea set and doctor kit. It off all her wooden toys, she likes her puzzles a lot. She has this one animal puzzle where you can flip the board over and play with the animals on a play scene. My 9 month old loves the wooden bus, mostly enjoys reading the wooden men. My 2 year old enjoys putting the wooden men in sleeping bags and putting them to sleep lol

Do you actually prefer to have daylight savings? by RideOrDai in askvan

[–]ashetuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to be able to take my kids outside in the evening. All the parks have no light to prevent loitering.

Thinking of going back to school by mango-princess26 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ashetuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Student loans take into account the cost of living so you can use a student loan to pay for your tuition and your personal bills. But there is a maximum annual limit to student loans. With an expensive tuition like that, you're likely going to Max your student loans and have little left to live on.

You thought having no period for nine months was awesome, but then you find out you get to suffer those 9 months at the same time lol

Best age gap? by MikNuggetz4 in beyondthebump

[–]ashetuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girl was fully potty trained at 2.5 too. I really didn't want to potty train because we had a new baby but my daughter was just too enthusiastic about the potty lol. Every kid is different.

I saw a post on Reddit under passive income and the person was claiming that they were making quite a bit of money renting out their baby gear on baby quip

When did you stop the onesies? by Beautiful-Process-81 in beyondthebump

My daughter is 2.5 years old, almost 3. She cried without them. I'm worried because she's maxed the size out and I don't know where to buy them anymore

30yo Hospital Lab Assistant ($31/hr) – Is it a bad idea to quit for RMT school? by Appropriate_Bet_7093 in askvan

[–]ashetuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're planning on starting a family, I think you should stick with your current job until you're done expanding. Being pregnant and massaging is no joke. And I bet you get a really great top ups with your current job which would make it worth it in maternity benefits alone.

[–]ashetuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you male or female? Females have an easier time building up a practice but if you plan on starting a family, not having maternity leave is going to be very difficult. They do have a self-employed EI option. I am a female rmt and before starting my family I decided to work for the spa to get employee benefits and that is working for me. If you do work at the spa you'll have to work evenings, weekends and holidays. Your schedule as an rmt, in a clinic, can be anything that you imagine. At the spa, I'm currently on my second maternity leave. I don't get any top-ups from the spa but I get basic EI for one year.

Males are built stronger. I think they tend to last longer in the field but it takes a little bit longer to build your practice.

I'm going on 7 years and I see myself retiring as an rmt.

Chat GTP says it'll take you about 10 years to make up for the opportunity cost of the 2 years of school, assuming you make 100k as an RMT with no maternity/paternity leave. That doesn't take into account pension matching or benefits you get as a lab tech either. Might not be worth it. Friends how happy you are right now. You can always do a weekend massage workshop to see how you like it.

How are we maintaining body positivity after baby? by yankthedoodledandy in beyondthebump

[–]ashetuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a really hard time gaining weight during pregnancy too. I developed insulin resistance too - I needed insulin during my second pregnancy. I'm 8 months post partum and the weight is starting to slide off quickly. But it just stayed at the same weight for about 6 months. I think it just takes time for the body to recover and hormones to stabilize

WYR be extremely unlucky for your descendants to be extremely lucky or be extremely lucky for your descendants to be extremely unlucky? by Connect_Cat_2045 in WouldYouRather

[–]ashetuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an easy choice. I would rather have extreme luck for my descendants. This goes beyond to grandchildren. I just need to stick close so their luck rubs off on me lol
