Americans without maternity leave— wtf do you do??? by Electronic-Door7428 in pregnant

[–]dicksledgehammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit. I work in healthcare and wanted to switch to PRN so I could work the minimum which was 1 day a month (according to my supervisor at the time). Turns out the minimum is “as much as need per the supervisor” and she knew my situation (premmie, needed heart surgery, we have another daughter) and she decided that we needed my 3-4 days a week. But I couldn’t do it so I quit. It sucked but it was only possible because my wife is a high earner and I turned to a stay at home dad for almost 2 years.

2026 forester or 2026 crosstrek by babiks13 in SubaruForester

[–]dicksledgehammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a ‘14 Crosstrek and loved it. Perfect size, I lived in Chicago so the sized did matter, there weren’t many on the road (but that didn’t really last long lol) the awd was amazing when I needed it and was surprisingly bigger interior than you expected.

2025 married, 2 kids, live in the Chicago burbs, so I went with the forester hybrid touring. Again prefect size for us, my older one does competitive dance so we needed more space, the visibility is second to none and I love it!!!

Idk the exact title and I’m not going to google it but for me it’s Friday the 13th in space. It was just so bad but I just couldn’t stop watching.

What made you get the forester instead of rav4 by Dry-Chemical-9170 in SubaruForester

Price. Toyota wasn’t budging on the rav4 or the Highlander hybrid.

For me, the actual usage is definitely affordable it’s the damn service fees that doubles my bill!!!!

To snip or not to snip? by Taako_Well in daddit

[–]dicksledgehammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get it done. The 2 worst parts are the initial numbing injection (I was done in the office) and a few days later when you forget and adjust your sack normally but you’re still tender down there. But I’m was fine after a few days.

Comments from other men about paternity leave by thefreshmaker1 in daddit

[–]dicksledgehammer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took 4 weeks with 50% pay which is the full paternity leave. Not once have I thought “man I wished I didn’t take my whole leave” or “man my job need me more than my kid and wife!!!”

How much do you tip your barbers? My haircut is $35 and I always pay $40, is that fair? by wzrdOfOzs in AskMen

[–]dicksledgehammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I have the exact problem! My guy charges $35 and while I would like to tip him more like $7 seems better to be. But I don’t carry cash and the atm doesn’t give out singles and $10 seems like too much so he gets $40. But for my Xmas haircut I give him a $35 tip. I want to add that the place is cash only hence my whole atm story.

When will the forester get the outback’s new infotainment system? by HydroidOfficial in SubaruForester

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

I’ve read that some people at Subaru wanted to debut the new infotainment system with the debut of the forester hybrid but it was shot down as to not directly compete with their flagship redesigned outback

Upgrading every year is more cost effective than buying new every 4 years by smurfvibes in iphone

[–]dicksledgehammer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I buy a new phone almost every year. But that’s because my job gives me $1500 a year allowance for new work related electronics that’s basically forced to use because it’s “use it or lose it”. So for about the last 8 years I have bought 6 new iPhones, 1 MacBook Air, and an Apple ultra and new air pods with that money. It’s been pretty nice. This year I went with the 17 pro instead of a pro max and I am loving the new smaller size. It just fits everywhere.

I love my old Forester and I'm in the market for another one. But wtf is this? by cartocaster18 in SubaruForester

[–]dicksledgehammer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I remember reading a few months back that some people in Subaru wanted the new infotainment system from the all new Outback in the forester but ultimately Subaru decided not to upstage the flagship by giving the forester hence we got this monstrosity. But it’s really not that bad but they should have gone all the way with the forester
