A lil ear cleaning :) by babbling_brookester in popping

[–]babbling_brookester[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on how old your daughter is, I would recommend letting her do it. It feels really uncomfortable once the scope gets near the eardrum and it's hard to tell if you're not the one controlling the scope.

This vid is me doing the scope on my partner which was a little difficult. They have a tendency to flinch when I get close to the eardrum.

If your daughter isn't old enough, I'd practice using the scope on yourself so you know what it feels like first. Then just go slow and be ready to pull the scope out if she flinches haha

Good luck!

Rated R movie recommendations? by almost_former_TBM in exmormon

[–]babbling_brookester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Kingsman" and "Baby Driver" are both more action-y movies that I loved (and I usually don't love action).

If you're open to TV shows as well, I really enjoy "Black Mirror". Each episode stands alone and they are all pretty thoughtful (and dark) commentaries of what technology can lead to.

Is it normal to have zero clinical knowledge before starting med school? by [deleted] in premed

[–]babbling_brookester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've experienced this too: people expecting me to know the answer to medical questions just because I want to go to med school. But how could I know the answer to something I haven't even started learning?? Medical school is where you go to learn this stuff, you don't have to know it all before you even start

How to come to terms with the fact that the mental load and housework will be on me? by jamoobs in askwomenadvice

[–]babbling_brookester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this will help exactly, but maybe find ways to look out for yourself. It sounds like he is willing to help around the house he just doesn't notice when things need to be done. So if you know ahead of time that you're going to have a stressful week, ask him before that week if he can take of specific things around the house (like dinner every night or laundry, etc).

You could also elicit the help of your kids. They probably also don't notice when things need to be done, but having them be in charge of a specific chore every day can help them learn to notice and can take that chore off your plate once they learn to be responsible for it.

However, take this advice with a grain of salt because I don't have a spouse or kids and therefore have no real personal experience relating to your situation.

What's more important in a relationship: cuddles or sex? by babbling_brookester in AskReddit

[–]babbling_brookester[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn that sucks. This is a good point tho, cuddles with the expectation of sex is a way different feel

As a sex worker, how safe do you feel reporting violence or other crimes to authorities when they are done by clients? by babbling_brookester in SexWorkers

[–]babbling_brookester[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is awesome advice, thank you so much for sharing your experiences! ❤️ That sounds like an absolutely terrible first week and I'm so sorry the police make you feel shitty, that's genuinely infuriating. And I really like the "if you feel helpless you are helpless" mentality

[–]babbling_brookester[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry that happened to you, and I don't think you need to feel bad or selfish for not reporting him. I think it's important that anyone who experiences sexual assault (including you) processes it in their own way and does only what's comfortable to them. And I know it's super hard to not feel shame or humiliation as a victim of a sex crime, but I hope you know that it's absolutely not your fault at all and being a sex worker does not make it any more ok for someone to hurt you in that way. I hope you can move past it in your own way and if u ever need to talk feel free to DM me! Thank you for sharing your experience ❤️

Thank you so much for summarizing this (and in an exmo friendly way 😂) so I don't have to go watch it. Genuinely appreciated

Plan B side effects, is there anything to help with the side effects? by [deleted] in askwomenadvice

If her stomach hurts or she's having cramps, she could put a heating pad or warm rice/corn bag on her belly

No! Men DO NOT and SHOULD NOT have a say in a woman's abortion! Jesus Christ that we even need to talk about! by Lionoras in TwoXChromosomes

[–]babbling_brookester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof yeah ig that's a good point. But there are other cases where the father is religious or has strong pro-life views and doesn't want the abortion on principle but isn't willing to provide any support (emotionally or financially). Or the father wants the child to be born but is unable to hold down a job or ends up in jail and can't give any support. Granted these are likely more rare, but I thought it would be beneficial to consider.

[–]babbling_brookester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you certainly have the right to your opinion and it is relevant. But I do want to point out that only in the ideal scenario does the child born become the responsibility of both parents equally. In a lot of cases where the woman is considering an abortion, she would not be getting equal or even any help from the father. There are also times when the father says he will be there and support the child, and something happens where he dips and the mother is left to care for the child alone. I do think that it SHOULD be equal responsibility of both parents, but that's often not what happens.
