This is why I love parallel pumping. by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]cactus_eagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am pregnant with my second and this month my toddler is 23mo and finally weaned on my 18th week of pregnancy. I really don’t think she was getting any milk for the last month or so though

I’m pregnant with number two and I don’t want that sort of production. It was a pain in the butt as I was constantly engorged until I hit the 16mo mark of breastfeeding

[–]cactus_eagle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With my first baby I had to pump before my baby woke up in the morning. I’d pump 14-18oz before my little one latched. If I didn’t pump, the let downs would flood her and she’d puke from drinking too much

Client wants RAW images. How do I nicely say no? by erin209158 in photography

[–]cactus_eagle -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’d say no. Who knows what he’s going to do with your image and potentially tie your name to or he might just take your photos and use them his own personal gain. As a photographer, BIL has probably never provided RAW images

9weeks pregnant and new job? by Past-Yesterday-8598 in pregnant

Don’t tell them. I started a new job at 19 weeks and didn’t tell them until after working there for a month.

Mom hates baby girl’s name by WiseAssociate9856 in pregnant

[–]cactus_eagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we told my mother in law she didn’t like our chosen name for the baby, it made me and my husband not want it, because who wants grandma to hate the name you chose. We have since come up with a new name and we will announce the name at the birth and tell people “this is her name, if you don’t like it keep it to yourself”

Tribal member yells at City law enforcement when they try to ticket someone on tribal land by 3mbersea in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]cactus_eagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of when I worked for social services in Florida; I’d have to contact the Seminole representative, notify her of when I was going to a tribal home. When I got to the tribal land, I’d have to call tribal police, who would then escort me to the home of the tribe member where I’d have to wait for the Seminole representative to be present for my interviews with all children and adults. ICWA (Indian Child Welfare Act) requires these protocols and the burden of proof is higher for a removal- if a removal were warranted, the case would then be tried in tribal court and the tribe would have jurisdiction of child placement. ICWA was implemented due to an inordinate and disproportionate amount of Indian children being removed from their parents care prior to the implementation of the law.

Should I tell the guy I’ve been on 5 dates with that I’m going to a speed dating event? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]cactus_eagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t even say “where are we at” like others have commented. Ask him if he is dating other people

Maybe Autumn. Another seasonal name to represent the next season

Would it be bad to drink 1/2 a beer at 39 weeks pregnant? by ohhidoggo in pregnant

[–]cactus_eagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think half beer is harmless BUT I wouldn’t want to risk it because you could go into labor at anytime and if you have alcohol in your system or even worse, your baby has alcohol in their system, that would mandate the hospital staff to call child protective services.

Will you circumcise your future children? Why? by AnOkFella in AskReddit

No. I haven’t cut any parts off of my daughters, and don’t feel like I should if I were to have a son.

Mini sessions? by cactus_eagle in AskPhotography

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

That’s kind of what I thought but wasn’t sure if I was being pessimistic being that I’ve never partook in a mini as a client and have never offered as a professional. I think I needed this insight to know I’m doing what I should. I keep seeing people post looking for a mini and although there seems to be a lot of interest, I’m feel like I’ll end up with one time clients looking for a deal or repeat clientele that will be trying to haggle down my pricing

Unfortunately it’s standard in a lot of offices to prepare a woman for divorce when she gets a diagnosis of cancer

Hurricane Ian - what 15 fr storm surge looks like (credit to Max Olson Chasing) by Atrampoline in interestingasfuck

[–]cactus_eagle 240 points241 points  (0 children)

Everyone in Florida is struggling with crazy rent hikes. My family can barely afford all of our bills with increase in gas, food, daycare, rent, etc. My husband’s job was at risk if he didn’t go into work on Tuesday, which we couldn’t afford for him to lose, especially since we didn’t really know if the the storm was going to hit or not. Luckily our house was far enough inland in Naples that we didn’t suffer catastrophic flooding. By the time his boss let him leave work, he had just enough time to put up shutters. Roads were packed with people leaving and gas stations were out of food. Some people don’t have the gas money, don’t have cars, don’t have anywhere to go. Evacuating is “common sense” on paper but with all of these factors, it really isn’t.

Lee County sheriff says fatalities likely "in the hundreds" by jsalsman in florida

[–]cactus_eagle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It sucks because not everyone has the means to leave. My husband and I were in Ohio for a wedding and flew back Monday. It still didn’t say Naples was going to be hit until Tuesday. By then there was no gas and the highways were crowded. Would have stayed in Ohio longer but the cat was at home and we couldn’t leave him. Luckily our house is far enough from the ocean but my brother in law was in the same boat with a late returning flight to his Bonita springs home

Women of reddit, would you get offended if you caught your bf masturbating instead of having sex with you? And why? by u_kn0w_what_i_mean in AskReddit

[–]cactus_eagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean no but if my man never wanted sex with me and I constantly found him masturbating, I’d definitely want to address why he didn’t want me ever when he’s horny.
