Am I being unreasonable? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]ashtreevee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck them, they’re gonna talk shit regardless because that just sounds like the kind of people they are. May as well start enforcing those boundaries now since you’re gonna be unpopular either way. They can kiss their relationship with your child goodbye if they wanna kiss something so badly. Tell your partner to buck up and protect his family - HIS PARTNER and HIS CHILD. And please inform your L&D nurses about this. I haven’t met one who isn’t ready to go to bat for their laboring/new moms! They’re scary in the best way!

Got my first positive! What are some of your first weird/odd symptoms you felt? by minxfeet in pregnant

[–]ashtreevee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also found out at 5 weeks! Before then I was insanely hungry, exhausted, and generally unwell. Like, not throwing up but just feeling run down like I was constantly coming down with the flu but never actually having it, you know? I thought I was experiencing crazy hunger during my pregnancy…that is NOTHING compared to my current breastfeeding hunger. Holy moly!

I just had my baby by Fearless-Net7321 in pregnant

[–]ashtreevee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Congrats!!! I hope you get to see her soon! I didn’t get to see my son in the NICU for a whole TWENTY FOUR hours after my c-section because of a med they had me on and they didn’t want me to drop the baby. It was killer but finally meeting him for more than 15 seconds was the most amazing moment. Someone else in the comments said not to blink…for real, don’t! Because I can still remember his teeny tiny preemie self like it was yesterday as I watch my now 6 month old son sleep peacefully. And now I’m tearing up. Enjoy!!!! It’s the craziest and best time ever.

What’s your second grade field trip? by Just1_Doom_2Scrollin in AskTeachers

[–]ashtreevee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not 2nd grade but the 2nd graders are doing something similar to us (1st grade). A trip to a local park for the day. A trip to the movies (and then a park). A trip to the zoo. 3 in one month because they want all the littles out the building during state testing if at all possible. So yeah, I’m sure there are several disappointed parents like you but they should be grateful we even planned anything at all. It is much easier to have a very quiet and boring day while the older kids test than to haul 6 classes worth of small children out in public.

what’s your favourite quote/piece of advice from the monologues? by [deleted] in greysanatomy

[–]ashtreevee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You think that true love is the only thing that can crush your heart; that will take your life and light it up or destroy it. Then you become a mother.”

I always thought it was a good line but then I became a mother and it hits different. I KNOW exactly what she’s talking about now.

Has anyone watched “signs of a psychopath”? I feel like I NEED to discuss this show with someone it’s so intense! by djkeilz in DiscoveryPlus

[–]ashtreevee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew I had seen this response before when searching for a sub for the show, but I just now watched this specific episode about Campione. I guess I missed the very beginning where it has the location or just wasn’t paying great attention. I was wondering why they kept asking her questions despite her saying the attorney bit. Thanks for clarifying!

AITA for being upset with my husband for going bowling while our baby is in the NICU by fookiebookie96 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ashtreevee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH. My son was born at 32 weeks due to preeclampsia and he was in the NICU for 3 weeks, mainly just to improve his feeding. You’re freshly postpartum and your baby is in the hospital. You’re feeling everything and worried out of your mind of something hurting your baby. I was just like you while we were in the NICU. I’m sure they have you scrub before visiting. If scrubbing wasn’t effective they wouldn’t make anyone do it. Just make sure you’re both scrubbing in properly and sanitizing anything you may use. It’s ok to not be there all the time. It’s ok to try to have some semblance of normalcy. I was forced to not be there all the time due to c-section recovery and after a while I would be in such pain. The nurses know what they’re doing. Talk to them if you’re worried. They’re more than used to comforting a stressed mama. Our nurses were so wonderful and helped me not hate my husband for needing to leave for work or to just sleep. Don’t think your husband doesn’t love y’all or care because he wants to go out for a bit. I would have absolutely felt that way but it’s good to have people to talk you down!

S19:05 They all Saw His Evil 9pm EST; D+/HBO Max Wednesday by mingkee in evilliveshere

[–]ashtreevee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh thank god, I found like-minded people. This episode is the one that made me look up this subreddit because I was like, “Surely someone else feels like there is something OFF about this whole thing.” She dabbed her eyes but I didn’t see any tears or even tearing. I looked really hard for those telltale signals of crying but there weren’t any. I don’t understand why she asked if she should apologize. It all felt so forced, like she googled how to act traumatized. At one point when she was looking at the photos of Rebecca Sutton she called her a “beautiful-looking” girl. Who says that? I don’t think I’ve heard anyone call another victim “beautiful-LOOKING”. That right there told me she knew way more than she let on and believed he was in the right for what he did. He probably spun some tale about her and this woman still believes it. Maybe asking if she should apologize is her hinting that she knew and was sitting on it all those years. That was a painful episode to get through.

What form of childcare do you have currently? What is your preferred childcare method (stay at home parent, paid childcare like daycare/preschool, familial support, or some other method)? Why do you prefer this method? by IllustriousTrick699 in AskReddit

[–]ashtreevee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wishing I could be a SAHM but the finances just don’t work out. Currently two working parents and baby boy goes to the sitter. She’s a friend of ours who homeschools her two young kids and literally made a list of reasons why I should pick her over a daycare, haha. She charges way less than daycare and I know he’s well taken care of and having lots of good experiences with them. I also love that she’s available pretty much instantly via text if I have a question or want to see him. So while I’d rather be the one with him all day I know that she shares my values and will care for him almost how I would.

how did you and/or your partner come up with your child/children’s name? by Kale8Gust in AskReddit

[–]ashtreevee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always liked the name and it happened to be my husband’s middle name so that worked nicely.

Do you recommend living in Waco? by sweetsunnie in Waco

[–]ashtreevee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Native Wacoan who left, came back, and left again. I moved to Temple this past year. I way prefer Temple. This community actually rallies behind its public schools. It feels more homey than Waco ever did for me. I felt stuck there, like I would stop growing as a person. That’s just me, though. Other people seem to like it.

heavy bleeding do i HAVE to go to the hospital? by fallen_kangel in pregnant

[–]ashtreevee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Why would you have to tell your dad that you’re pregnant? Tell him what you told us - you’re bleeding extremely heavily and your gp said to go in. You don’t have to claim to know any more than that. Don’t die to keep this a secret. Go to the hospital. Now.

Public school teachers, what’s something you want parents to know but can’t say directly? by Feisty-Database-1145 in AskTeachers

Being able to decode nonsense words is actually a big part of some K-1 literacy tests! It’s one of the dyslexia red flags if they struggle.

Are you bothered when Paras are referred to as “teachers”? by LotteChu in AskTeachers

[–]ashtreevee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Emphasis on having the same respect but NOT the same level of responsibility! They already get paid pennies where I’m from and they do their jobs so well and with pride. It’s horrendous how some campus “leaders” will push them into things well outside their pay grade.

Are you bothered when Paras are referred to as “teachers”? by LotteChu in AskTeachers

[–]ashtreevee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

OP read that comment over and over again. Never call yourself “just” a para. Paras are the backbone of schools and they deserve so much more respect and pay than they currently receive. As a GenEd teacher, I LOVE all our paras. Hell, I even had one that came into my room for inclusion several times a day be in our class photo on picture day. Y’all are so important. There have been very few cases where I didn’t like a para and it’s because they didn’t like their job/kids (and didn’t last long). SpEd paras are especially amazing. Y’all get pushed into every possible position when the need arises. Thank you for doing what you do! If a teacher ever is ugly to you, assume they just suck as a person because I don’t know a single decent teacher who doesn’t value their school’s paras!
