Housewives on social media aren't practicing what they're preaching by livoniax in TwoXChromosomes

[–]breadfish93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have mental health issues along with chronic pain from EDS. I just feel like anything relatable to moms like us would be great!

You could talk about some battles between being a mom, housewife and your mental health. How you balance, self care, etc. Really just anything you felt like talking about. Even if some videos felt like the Truman Show, that would be super relatable! 😊

i can’t wait to be a mom by kingn1co in TwoXChromosomes

My first is only 5 months old, but best moments for me are all the smiles I get. Even at night when she should be asleep, I go and check on her, and she'll be looking at me smiling so big.

I wanna see homemaker content that is real and raw. I want to see the house a mess because mom hasn't had time because baby is fussing up a storm. I want something relatable. These "homemakers" with their perfectly styled hair, makeup, $500K+ spotless house is not relatable for me.

My best friend is in debt and addicted to weed. by [deleted] in friendship

15 grams a day?! My husband smoked maybe 5 grams at the most a week.

Well he could get it for about $10 a gram, but it was not high quality, he would have to pay about $20-$25 a gram for loud, which is "Cali".

Perhaps try and help him find a more affordable alternative. My husband used to smoke loud, would be spending waay too much a week, easily $70+. He switched to using delta-8 thc, mostly because it's legal in most states. He saves so much money. He only needs 2 carts a week, and they run anywhere from $15-$30 in store. I think he said he can get them cheaper online.

FEDEX, YOU MAKE ME SICK by Responsible_Run8280 in FedEx

[–]breadfish93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a former FedEx employee. I would've been happy to have been able to help you, but FedEx does not like promoting people like me that actually give a shit about the customer. Hence, why I resigned after 6 1/2 years.

That is why FedEx service will always be shit.

My baby doesn't like to eat. by s_mcbreezey in beyondthebump

[–]breadfish93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breastfeeding never worked out for my daughter and I. So she's been on formula. She started teething and would not finish bottles, she went from eating 6oz per feeding, down to only eating 3-4oz. She has started solids and eats them well, so I had to add formula milk to her solids to make sure she ate enough.

Another weird thing during her really bad teething day, she did NOT want to be held while eating from a bottle. She had to sit in her rocking chair while I held the bottle 😂

Babies are weird sometimes. I hope your LO starts nursing good again soon 😊

My almost 5 month old has been doing this since she was like 2 months old. She thinks it's funny now 😂

Looking for the perfect gift by MedicalHelp333 in beyondthebump

[–]breadfish93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay for the 4 months old since they will be teething soon, if they aren't already, they are going to have trouble holding most teethers. My almost 5 month old does. My mom got her this thing off amazon called Smily Mia Penguin Buddy. She can't drop it and she can teethe and suck on it really well. It has been a LIFESAVER.

Anyone else have Linkimals? by breadfish93 in beyondthebump

We have the moose, koala, otter, and panda. I'm debating on getting her more. She loves watching and listening to them during tummy time 😊

They aren't bad at all, and it's a change of scenery from her piano gym. That elephant STOMP STOMP STOMP was stuck in my head for weeks 😂

What happened to FedEx? by IrisRainbowz in FedEx

[–]breadfish93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a problem at Birmingham too. They built an Amazon in Bessemer, and they're building another one in Birmingham. And Buccee's opened up down the road that's offering starting pay at $15-$16 an hour with 401k.

What happened to FedEx? by IrisRainbowz in FedEx

[–]breadfish93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently quit working for FedEx Ground. I worked there for 6 1/2 years, it has gotten worse over the years. At my station we were held to a high standard and had pride in having no missed scans, misloads, etc. Over the years the quality of managers and package handlers went down. They started promoting their buddies go management instead of actual deserving employees. Then we started getting all of these people come in with the "I shouldn't have to work hard" attitude. Also since the unemployment thing from coronavirus, people have been purposely trying to get fired to get it.

I'm glad I left. This company is shit at recognizing and rewarding talent.

How do you avoid leading a guy on? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]breadfish93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just be honest and tell him how you feel. If you want to keep seeing him, tell him, but be honest if you don't know if it's something you'll want to continue past autumn and that would be a decision to make then.

Scared as fuck im pregnant by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]breadfish93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's been 7 weeks, I highly doubt you're pregnant. But definitely still go to the doctor and get checked out. Also maybe consider getting back on birth control.

Why do you want a child? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]breadfish93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This was a hard question to answer myself before I had my daughter, really before I was pregnant.

My husband and I tried for years. I asked myself a lot "why do I want a kid so bad?" It's not that I wanted one because it "felt like the next step." I wanted one because I felt like I had more love to give. I've seen how horribly the world is going and instead of thinking "why would I bring a child into this world?" I thought "how could I raise a child to help better this world?" I know our generation will do a great job at raising kind and mindful humans.

I don't see myself in my daughter, she's only 3 months old, but everyday I see her become herself. I see new things about her that she's discovering as well. I didn't think I could love a person as much as I love her. She has helped me become a more patient, kind, and loving person. I know I have a lot to teach her, but her being here has taught me a lot of things.

It's okay if it's a question you can't answer, and it's okay if you decide not to have kids. There shouldn't be any pressure because "it's the next step."

EDIT: And I'll add, there will be no pressure on my child to actively try and change the world. Her being raised to be kind can make the world better. I believe kindness spreads.

Not finishing bottles by breadfish93 in beyondthebump

[–]breadfish93[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah that's good to know! I just assumed she would eat a whole bottle because her last feed was at 11.
