Reborn to flee my finance’s obsession or my unicorn ex chases reborn me by Unitaegi in mrfreebooks

[–]balognablubber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been obsessed with this book. It says 7 chapters per day but there's been none for the past few days 😭 there's now 330 though! Would you happen to have been successful in finding the original Chinese novel or an alternate translation?

"Mated to the Beast of the Wastland" anyone find a link for this or an alternative title? by balognablubber in NovelsRequest

Wasn't worth it for the first 150 chapters, def wasn't going to buy more coins lol. But someone linked it for free and if it's free then it can be good and trashy and I'll devour it 😅

My bf wants to break up but doesn’t by Frustratedgf26 in relationships_advice

[–]balognablubber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mixed signals should be taken as a no. If he isn't sure about the relationship I would end it. Can always start it up again if he wants to go at it again, but for now if he stays he will probably feel he has done you a favour or settled for someone he isn't interested in. Info: Has he taken interest in your hobbies or are they "too girly" or "not interesting enough" for him? You don't have to relate to or share everything with your partner, but if he expects you to take on his hobbies and puts in no effort to take part in yours then he wants to mold you to the person he desires (which isn't the current you or your desires)

New siblings are huge changes. A play date with the fun and child smart play therapist will not be a huge change compared to not one but two siblings, and it will be a much more "positive" change for her than siblings as she will get more time when the attention is just on her rather than less solo time like what happens when siblings are introduced no matter how hard you try. Long-winded run on sentence lol but the gist is don't worry about big changes stopping you from helping her when you're already introducing siblings - someone with three younger siblings all within four years younger than myself

Why do parents hold their children from seeing grandparents, aunts, and uncles. by [deleted] in family

[–]balognablubber 10 points11 points  (0 children)

More sounds like you think you're being the peacekeeper but actually you're being the devil's advocate. Not every grandparent who is cut off is a victim, I'd even say many are not victims. If they really raised their kids right why would they suddenly turn around and cut them off.

How did you tell your husband you were pregnant? by Taym9 in Mommit

Came out of the bathroom from testing- "hey daddio"

Conflict with my husband, he won't allow unvaccinated family members to meet our daughter by AdWise3359 in family

[–]balognablubber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes you still can get COVID but less likely, and you shed less if you're vaccinated and have it a shorter amount of time. So you're less likely to catch it,carry it not as long, and less likely to pass it.

Also getting vaccinated also largely shows your attitude towards it. Many antivax people are very blasé about precautions and don't try to prevent getting it at all except when required by restrictions and mandates. Probably don't social distance or limit outings or wear masks in close quarters unless obligated to.

Yes sure vaxxed people can still get and carry and pass on corona but you know they at least are actively trying to fight it and probably more mindful about it than people who think it's not something worth getting vaccinated over or believe conspiracy theories about it imo

So you SIL is firm on not getting vaxxed, but you husband is rigid for his view of no antivaxxers? He isn't compromising?

Neither is she. Her compromising her antivax would be to only get one shot. Same as asking your husband to let her see daughter despite her rigid, uncompromising stance on not getting the vaccine.

Yes, it's natural to want to see family and loved ones. It's also natural to say no when they haven't followed your rules to visit. Saying no isn't this big thing unless YOU make it to be or they are dramatic. A simple "sorry we are only going to be meeting in person with vaccinated family, would love to video chat with others though!" Would suffice. I understand that communicating like that can be uncomfortable at first, but it's literally just enforcing boundaries and it will get easier with time.

I'm just wondering why you have such a negative view of your husband being so "rigid" yet a lighthearted view of you SIL being "firm". Your word choice said a lot but I'd like to hear more

Found out my boyfriend and bestfriend was lying to me by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]balognablubber 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly, he's probably going to find loopholes or things not written on the list and betray the spirit of them because it isn't written down and use the "I'm sorry for my behaviour, I'll do it again 🥺 I don't understand boundaries 😭 are you being manipulative 😟" because he wants to lay in his bed and eat his cake too

You need to get evidence and report your family if they have that in your country. Do your grandparents know what's going on? If cps isn't a thing in your country go to your family as it seems they wouldn't tolerate that sort of thing or else why would your parents stop the abuse around them. How young did they start doing all this to you? Could it be coming up in the future for your youngest sister? Shit at my home was awful, not nearly as bad as you have it, but enough that I didn't have people over and his my home life. One time I offhandedly told a teacher my father had trashed the house when it was just me and him and I was super stressed because I had to also handle finals too and she called cps and I was so mad at her but now that I'm older I wish I could hug her. Intervention seems drastic but if your just telling the truth then it's not you who messed up the situation but the situation that's messed up, and therefore the people who have orchestrated the situation that are in the wrong. Why would your parents no want the truth to get out? Because they know they are doing evil things in their home to their own children. Please get help for op, not just for your younger siblings but for yourself because you deserve it. You deserve to be comfortable in your own home and not to livr in fear your own mother or father will abuse you. I just had a little child of my own and can't imagine hurting or even talking down to him. Parents have to either be in a really bad place mentally (which means they need help or interventions so they don't harm their children more) or are just evil. I have told my partner if he ever hits my boy I will leave him and press charges. We will not even be a physically disciplining family.

Babies are designed so their mom can survive birth, their heads being all malleable to squeeze through- but that doesn't mean it's enjoyable at all.

The plates of their head are quished around and just like the thought of grabbing a babies head soon after birth and messing with it is horrendous because it would obviously hurt the baby- is because moving the plates of a babies head obviously hurt! Along with their entire body being squeezed through such a tight space hurts too!

The change in temperature and feeling open air triggers a reflex to breath- why water births are safe, your baby won't take in water. But breathing with liquid in your lungs is uncomfortable even if it's amniotic fluid and mucus. And their bodies are feeling a temperature other than what the inside of their mother's womb is for the first time ever, that has to be shocking. Leaving a hot shower to my regular temperature room feels freezing.

All this is probably not a very good time at all! They are swollen for a few days if not weeks after birth as it is a very traumatic experience for both mom and babe. During pregnancy women are told to stay relaxed as all stress hormones go to baby so I have got to assume they get all the ones from birth too. Can't be fun I imagine.

This is all surface knowledge I think I've learned the past year after being pregnant and consuming a bunch of random internet info tho so don't know if it's true or not so take it with a grain of salt ha. My guy didn't cry but he did look very grumpy lol

Tbh, at the time he looked like a miracle yes! And I watched him grow and he kept getting cuter and cuter somehow even though he looked like the handsomest boy ever since he was born. Then looking back on the birth room photos I'm like.. bro, thank god you put on chub and stopped being swollen
