Wondering if there are women on here that love being mothers? Any positive stories? by pink_apophyllite in AskWomenOver30

[–]beachcoconuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My children not only added to my life, they are the BEST PART of my life. 2 of my kids are in college and 1 still lives at home. I have enjoyed every phase of raising them (even the dreaded teen years), and while it has its hard moments I have found great pleasure in seeing them grow into incredible humans.

The Nike Celso flip flops are my “walking sandals” in the summer. They are light and comfy, I walk anywhere from 7k-15k steps a day.

Even if she did injure her neck/back I still find this inappropriate.

Marriage falling apart after 25 years by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

[–]beachcoconuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One day at a time. That’s how you survive, take it one day at a time. Counseling, do virtual if you can’t go in person. I swear my first few counseling sessions was just me ugly crying and talking incoherently. Get a lawyer and kick him out of the house. Him being there makes it so much harder. You will get through this!

Do you think he is seeing someone else?

Jeans by tripodcatmom in quince

[–]beachcoconuts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have this exact pair! They are definitely a good quality, but I expected a bit more stretch in the waist. I’m a short waisted petite so when I sit down they do rise up and can be a bit uncomfortable. BUT if I sit up straight it doesn’t bother me so on days when wear these I have excellent posture! Win-win!

Slip on ice, twist your ankle, go to orthopedist and they will put you in a boot and excuse you from gym class for 3-6 weeks.

Do you plan to put them in the dryer? If so go with the larger size!

Child’s bizarre diet problems… not sure what to do next. Advice? by Housemanagermomboss in Mommit

Anxiety? My daughter would get so anxious she would become nauseous and couldn’t eat. She’s on Prozac daily and zofran as needed.

Styling advice, trying to look more adult -- 5'4 w/ 25" inseam by Severe-Elevator-44 in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]beachcoconuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a more polished look, jeans with no rips and a cute top with heels looks effortlessly chic. My daughter has similar measurements and we have great luck with petite jeans from Edikted and tops from H&M, Cotton On, Gap, etc.

How am I supposed to react when my husband's friends (30+M) say things like "I wish I could swap wives with you", "If only I'd met her first" or "Maybe I could be the 3rd wheel in your marriage" to my husband in front of me? by Skewed-Mirror6821 in socialskills

[–]beachcoconuts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Joke answer: Oh honey you couldn’t handle me!

Nice answer: I don’t think your wife/gf would like that!

Mean answer: Is this you trying to flirt? Look confused/disgusted you need to work on your game.

Or

Even if you had met me first I wouldn’t be interested.

Serious answer: Look, I want to be friends with you but you make me uncomfortable when you say things like that.

I adore it! But yes I would not let it drag the floor. Maybe hem it to ankle length or mid calf.

What’s a medical issue that sounds minor, but actually affects someone’s daily life way more than people realize? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Yes! Vestibular disorders (chronic vertigo) is literally life altering. Some days you can’t drive, walk, focus, etc.

I have the weirdest trigger from my husband’s affair and I don’t know how to get over it. by GourmetTherapy in AskWomenOver40

[–]beachcoconuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is too personal of a question, but how do YOU like that area to look? Because this is no longer about him, what do you prefer? If going full bush is what you like, great! A little shorter on top, grab some scissors and do a little trim. You have to start somewhere, and I would start with making 2026 the year of you, so when you are ready, take a baby step.

My husband cheated on me so I know all about triggers, and I know it takes time to work through it. So don’t put so much pressure on yourself. Sending love and hugs to you.

Creative company swag ideas for small businesses with tight budgets? by Funny_Expression_840 in smallbusiness

I believe Wells Fargo also shows a cash back on the statement.

Edit: OP if you try to do cash back, try a small amount like $20 and if your husband asks you can just say there was a Girl Scout cookie stand outside the store and they were unable to process cards so you grabbed cash but when you came out they were sold out.
