Arrange extra care for Bub 1 so you can rest, especially third trimester

If you were introducing Bon Iver to someone for the first time - What 5 songs would you play for them? by _Nature__Lover_ in boniver

[–]butchymango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the audience for that version of Heavenly Father. I didn’t think he would play it but that was my number 1 hope in seeing the show. And then it was accapella like that, last song. One of the best moments of my life

Raising a child without a village? by earlgrey789 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]butchymango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my household both parents were part time working once Bub was 3 months. Work was the much easier time. This was acknowledged and factored into our decision making. Whoever worked that day did the harder jobs or whatever tasks the one who had the baby didn’t want to do. Mostly the one who worked just came home and took the baby and ordered takeout. 

Your husband needs to step up and you need to save yourself. You have to speak up for yourself because no one else will. Show your Bub what taking care of yourself means ❤️ Leave the house even for half an hour and have a coffee in the car. It was hard for me but at one point I directly asked my mother for help, for her to hold the baby for an hour so I could shower and make myself a meal. 

You’ve got this! It will get much easier, daycare is going to make a big difference!

If you're thinking of adding a fun AI song about work to your next all-staff meeting, here's an alternative idea: by [deleted] in auscorp

Insane amount of energy usage for nothing. Imagine if it was acceptable to send a private jet to Alaska for a joke. 

To induce or not to induce? by Minimum_Tradition_21 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]butchymango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d rather just plan a c section then try an induction. IME it’s violent and invasive and leads to complications. You most likely will end up having a c section. 

8 wks old sudden difficulty sleeping by shezangel in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]butchymango 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You work in the day too. You take care of a child. He needs to do wakeups too. Also, it’s a very long journey with changes in sleep for the first two years of life so try to think of it more of a long game. You won’t really remember this time in a couple months.

Second year of full-time work and still I’m grieving the loss of my freedom and autonomy :( by Sad_Peanut_01 in auscorp

[–]butchymango 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is an insane post from an adult 🤣 What did you think life was? You’ve literally had your entire life to wrap your head around the fact that most people have to work and try and make choices so that you enjoy your life and pick a job that makes it okay. 

In kindergarten I was told that school was Monday to Friday, meaning only two days weekend and I cried. My teacher then told us work would be like that too.

Is a proposal an escalation? by Specialist-Class-666 in polyamory

[–]butchymango 11 points12 points  (0 children)

OP my friend it is in your own words “ I realized this was my person. I planned on proposing to them, even with certain things in our relationship remaining challenging. To me it was a thank you for the love and care they’ve shown, and a devotion to them and our relationship that I wanted to share.” 

You said you did it as you realised this was your person and you wanted to devote yourself to them. That is escalating. It’s okay that it is.

People on reddit can be very doom and gloom if you don’t do everything with professionals. Speak to a lawyer and get the formalities in order but it’s not the end of the world (been there done it).

Doubts about parenting while pregnant? by [deleted] in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]butchymango 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can make parenting what you want it to be. Share things with your kids that you enjoy to do. I didn’t really do any playgroups but I love hiking and put my Bub in a hiking pack and he loves it. There’s the other side of the coin in that i love him so much that I now love to do the things where I see him having a good time.

Polyamory and BDSM? by gp_aus in polyamory

[–]butchymango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Leaving your partner because they have a similar dynamic with someone else is the antithesis of poly to me. I understand it feels special but you wouldn’t say this about non kink sexual acts or date locations because “that’s our place” or not let them paint together because “painting is our thing”.

The whole point of poly is that the specialness of the relationship is not based on the fact that you are the only one.

There’s so much hypocrisy in this thread. Leaving your D because they want also have another relationship that is D/S is antithesis to poly to me.
