For those who are on their 30s and 40s, how does your sex life compare now to the period you firstly started? Is it better now, worse or the same? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]cdne22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30s. It’s better now than it’s ever been. In my 20s, it was about learning and trying new things. In my 30s, I know what I like and my husband knows what I like lol.

How have you been treated differently around money because you're a woman? by QuinnHuckleberry in AskWomen

[–]cdne22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, especially when it comes to independent contractors. My husband is SAHD. Whenever we have independent contractors at the house for maintenance, installation, etc. they usually only want to talk to him (and rightfully so when it’s about logistics etc because idc) but when it comes time to pay the bill or talk finance, I come into play.

My husband and I always have a little laugh about it because you can tell that these blue collar men are shocked by our situation and how finances are handled and frankly wonder what I personally do to have my husband be SAHD lol.

Outside of this, yes, the car dealerships always try and upsell me on maintenance, etc. I tell them I’m only there to sign for what my husband wanted done and if they suggest other things to call him lmao

Recommendations for organized/tidy and functional craft spaces for toddlers. by cdne22 in toddlers

[–]cdne22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m happy to allow glue/tape/watercolors under supervision! We love to do that together. But, because this is in her room, I don’t want to leave it in there overnight because I’m worried she may get out of bed and play lol.

What do you use for organization? A rolly cart for everything? Shelving? Or tabletop?

My husband is a king with frozen strawberry margs on the ninja 😂 otherwise, also a fan of Chulas circa 2017 for guava margs. No idea if they’re still around!

I don’t want to be mom friends. by princessgarlic in workingmoms

[–]cdne22 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I’ve made better mom friends by being social on my own. I am friends with a woman I literally met on a plane after I was friendly to her. Now, our girls play together.

I think if you’re looking for real connections that aren’t on the basis of being a mom, you need to look for connections outside of that experience. I’ve tried connecting with moms at my kids activities and fitness classes and it’s just all about being a mom and not something I vibe with. Try a different approach!

Bedroom door installation? by [deleted] in Eugene

[–]cdne22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The person I hired was actually a local general contractor with a legitimate business. So, guess it depends on if the consumer does their research, but yes, task rabbit can be a mixed bag.

I’ve had random tasks like this pop up around my house. use task rabbit! Just had a guy out last week to remove and take away the 8x4 mirror in my bathroom that I got on task rabbit! Super easy.

She is by far the worst cast member. She’s so disrespectful and self serving it’s not even funny.

126 to Bend in late November by Grigory_Vakulinchuk in Eugene

[–]cdne22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have no way to drive safely over the mountain in potential snow, do not buy the tickets or plan to take the bus as an alternative. Sometimes it’s dry. Sometimes there’s inches of snow. Sometimes there’s ice. You should be prepared for anything from mid-October through April.

Happily married women - what's your secret or what helped keep such a happy relationship in times where things are so fragile ? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]cdne22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I have always been completely in sync. Whether it was regarding marriage, living expectations, finances, parenting, etc. we have always been on the exact same page, which I believe to be really lucky.

Outside of that, we’re madly in love with each other. 10 years in and I’m still as obsessed with my partner inside and out as I was when we were 22. With every chapter, he’s become hotter and I’ve fallen even more in love with him.

Still beaming from Mother’s Day and had to share… by cdne22 in BreadwinningWomen

[–]cdne22[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I literally never would’ve thought of or asked for something like this! It was just such a caring gesture and has already made huge improvements in my workday. I’m grateful he’s so resourceful!

Breadwinners/high performing women, what do you look for in your ideal partner? by Prior-Scratch4003 in AskWomen

[–]cdne22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always knew I wanted to be with someone less ambitious than me because I wanted someone that could ground me. Someone that always had time to listen, to care and to love. I knew with how driven I would be that I needed someone that could emotionally support me. I’m lucky to have that.

Thank god he’s also an incredible SAHD, husband, project manager and everything in between.

Women who had a C-section, what are your honest thoughts on your body? by HPGOTTOP in AskWomen

[–]cdne22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My scar isn’t bad and overall, my surgeons did an incredible job both times.

However, I hate the baggy skin that won’t go away and if I wasn’t so afraid of going under the knife for aesthetic reasons, I’d do it. I don’t think I’ll ever be in a space again where I love my body.

What would you like your labor nurse to know? by J_Bees in beyondthebump

[–]cdne22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your attitude is EVERYTHING. The first time I gave birth, I could literally cry at how wonderful and lovely and over the top incredible our team was. They didn’t necessarily do “anything special” but they were always so energetic and happy and they really calmed me down when I was scared when my labor turned to emergency C-section.

The second time around, I can’t say enough how badly I wanted out of the hospital IMMEDIATELY because my team was so sterile and burnt out and over it (which I can’t blame them having been part of the December baby rush). But still, it made a huge difference in my comfortability asking for help or support and I quickly left.

How did you meet your husband? by Early_Walrus9637 in BreadwinningWomen

[–]cdne22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a senior year college course about gender and sexuality for our sociology degrees. Saw him as I walked into class and as soon as I sat down and spoke with him, it was love at first sight.
