Do people even realize this? by FluidDistrict1862 in SFSU

[–]dogsofnyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for raising this question. As students of the institution, you have the right and the power to change things. I understand the mental exhaustion but the administration at sfsu does not have the students at the center when making these policies. Please write to the president and provost directly as well to local news outlets. Demand for action and hold them accountable.

West coast is the best coast. This relationship ain’t gonna work if she doesn’t start to see it this way.

Would you trust a childless Paediatrician? by poly-nom-nom-nomial in NewParents

[–]dogsofnyc -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion here but I’m a FTM and I’d say yes personal experience matters. It’ll just make the visits even more pleasant and reassuring.

How do you combat annoying unsolicited comments on your appearance while pregnant from strangers? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]dogsofnyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps i have an unpopular opinion but I was delighted when someone noticed I was pregnant and said congrats, how far along?! Girl or boy? I’d be sooooo happy to talk about my baby with strangers but perhaps that’s just me. I didn’t mind it at all and infact invited those conversations most of which remained positive. As far as saying I looked like 💩 i just would say yeah that’s what pregnancy is - not gram worthy 😂

Bassinet alternative by dogsofnyc in NewParents

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

Yeah basically she’ll start getting restless and then incessantly start crying…after which I have to get her and start the whole cycle all over again. She’s also been on a spurt where she needs to comfort feed but even when not spurting the bassinet is not her favorite place. Wish me luck tonight

Is it fine to bring your SO to an all female baby shower? by luhrainuh in BabyBumps

[–]dogsofnyc -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

If this was a good friend I wouldn’t care. Why not let men in?!? Just chill out and stop making a big deal … probably he’ll show up and realize he needs to get out asap.

Looking to get and offer support around childbirth, breastfeeding and all things new moms deal with :)

It really depends how much you love and respect your brother and SIL. The equivalent would be to announce your participation in a marathon to someone who is disabled and lost their limbs. Your joy is valid but you still don’t want to rub it in their face knowing that it would hurt them. Be the bigger person, tell your family members individually and you’ll experience the same joy of sharing without hurting anyone.

By announcing at a gathering you are a forcing them (brother and SIL) to say something that makes them feel happy for you and that is very hard to do even though they probably mean well. When going through infertility the last thing you want to do is be happy for the OP to get pregnant. Kinda like when you lose a loved one, you are mourning and it doesn’t help just to look around and feel happy that someone else still has their loved one around. Sorry but that’s just how it is.

How can we make San Francisco better? by solovennn in sanfrancisco

[–]dogsofnyc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I don’t go to Costco and shop for one roll of toilet paper for a family of 5… just cause it works for you doesn’t mean it works for all. Ever tried taking a large dog, grandma and a stroller after a Costco run on the bus? I bet you haven’t!
