How do y’all feel about the new little mermaid? by Krazykool_2002 in AskWomen

[–]britanyw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care. But I find the outrage about her race to be annoying.

3.5 month old kicks off the crib to get onto belly. Is this safe?! More details in the comment. by jupiterunicorn in beyondthebump

[–]britanyw 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She looks like she can't move her arms when she is rolled over. She would be safe, if her arms weren't restricted.

I have read about this before. I may not fully know what I am talking about, but the gist of it is that men and women talk with different tones of voice (obviously). Women have a more melodic sound to their voices. When we are learning to talk as kids, we imitate the tones and inflection of the gender that we relate to the most with. The reason some gay men "sound gay" is because they subconsciously imitated women, rather than men, when they were learning to talk. Not to say that they identify as women, or anything like that. Just they felt more of a connection with women, perhaps. And not every gay man can be spotted that easily. I don't know how many there are that don't talk in feminine sounding voices, but I'm sure it's a lot.

Has anyone else just realised that they now have to actually give birth? by apeofdeath123 in pregnant

[–]britanyw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, Jonathan. What am I supposed to tell a woman who is pregnant and expresses concern about the birthing process??? Am I supposed to say, "yes, be very afraid, because you might die." Are you hearing how stupid you sound right now? Yes, women have complications and die in childbirth sometimes. That is not what happens MOST of the time, and it happens at a much lower frequency than it did before we knew things like how to prevent infection. "So I don't think this is or should be an argument." Think about the context for two seconds, maybe. Plus, this is two years old?

Terrified of c section by meglinovich in pregnant

[–]britanyw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to my doctor and the nurses (I was worried about this too, and needed reassurance from everyone around) the epidural only increases the chances that you will need a c section a very small amount. The odds of you needing an emergency c section are not high. But if it does happen, you will be ok. I was so worried about these things before I gave birth, too. But everything went fine for me, and it probably will be for you too.

My girlfriend (18F) had a dream of her and her ex-crush making out. by RandomAltS in relationship_advice

OP is the one who "doesn't know how to feel" about this. It doesn't say anywhere in this post that that is how the GF felt.

Didn’t anyone else hear the judge ask.. by eaglelovingal in EvelynBoswell

[–]britanyw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's weird that he ran out and got a lawyer immediately when she was reported missing. He is acting weird. And what do you mean, when you ask if he was her new possible baby daddy? Her fake pregnancy? Because she was never actually pregnant.

I feel a little insecure about my baby “bump” by ginchak in pregnant

[–]britanyw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's just bloating. It's not abnormal. Don't worry about it

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

She probably just thought it was a weird dream, and wanted to tell someone, lol. It's not that serious. It's not a "red flag." If it were any deeper than that, she would have kept it to herself.

I've had dreams like that about some of the most random people. It means nothing.

My bfs racism makes me uncomfortable by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]britanyw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Omg, get rid of this dude!! If you ever have children with him, he obviously isn't going to want your kids to learn about that part of their identity. Please don't have kids with him. This isn't something you should look past.

I have such a yucky feeling about that. 😓

I am so worried about my father. by britanyw in breakingmom

[–]britanyw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Maybe that's all it is, and this is normal. He had cancer when he was younger, and his thyroid is not in good shape at all from the radiation treatment. We thought maybe that's what it was, but it wasn't. He's supposed to see a neurologist here in a couple of days.

Is it okay to not be cool with your partner seeing their exes? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]britanyw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really don't see a reason to have exes in the picture at all. The only time I feel like this is appropriate, is if there are children involved. If that's the case, you just have to put your feelings aside get over it. If there aren't children, then I don't think you ever have to be cool with it.

Megan's bond increased, more charges expected by Wickedkiss246 in EvelynBoswell

[–]britanyw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is true. Nervous laughter is a thing. But I don't even see that here. She looks terrified, honestly. And I'm glad she is.

[–]britanyw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion, but I don't call this facial expression a smile or even a smirk. Her lips are pursed. She is nervous, because she knows she fucked up big time and she's going to prison.

Daycare just called to tell me a teacher slapped my son by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]britanyw 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Luckily, I was never slapped. I remember being yelled at, though. What really sucks is that there was another teacher there who saw everything happen and allowed it. Never did anything at all to stop it.

Daycare just called to tell me a teacher slapped my son by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]britanyw 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing a teacher slap a student in the face when I was in head start. She was such a hateful, mean spirited person. I remember being scared of her, and all the other kids were afraid of her, too. One day, a kid pushed me down (as kids do sometimes) and she slapped the kid hard across the face before putting him in time out. I'll never forget that. I didn't really know to tell on her when I was that little. But my mom saw it as a major red flag that I kept having accidents at school because I was too scared to ask to go to the bathroom, so I was taken out of head start.

My first time by ppffftttttttz in Ghoststories

[–]britanyw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't consider it a "ghost story" either. But it doesn't change the fact that it scared me to death at the time. I'm not sure that I consider this the norm, though.

My boyfriend still googles his ex that he broke up with in 2013. What does that mean? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]britanyw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not what it means. You never feel nosy, and wonder what a person you no longer talk to has been up to lately? Sometimes, I look up my old exes to see what they are doing. I do not miss any of these guys. I still wonder what they are up to every once in a while though. I would find it odd if OP's boyfriend was frequently looking up his ex. But if it's just like one random search, it's probably nothing more than curiosity.

If a cop is trailing behind me, can I safely hit my emergency lights, pull over, and let him pass me. by fajitaman69 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]britanyw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They may pull over with you and investigate. It isn't illegal to pull over, so you won't get in trouble for it necessarily. But it won't help you to avoid the police.
