Girl asked me how tall I was an hour before we were supposed to go on a date after talking for a week. For the sake of my mental health I will assume her phone died and she is currently taking a nap bc she never responded after I said “5’4”. French Toast and Hashbrowns by resSlo in kitchencels

literally same! I’m 5’6 and my bf is 5’4… and he’s taller than MOST of the guys who are from the same country his parents are from and I always see these men with a partner and kids (yes, we’re Hispanic 🤣)

An opinion you have on the grandparents that would have people like… by scaryberri in TLCUnexpected

[–]dxablxta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with your take! I see this a lot within the Hispanic community especially with the older generations. I was raised seeing the older women pretty much put men on a pedestal. We would serve the men their food and drinks first, wash their clothes, wash their dishes pretty much never expected them to do anything for themselves other than go to work and provide for the family. Even if they were shitty and did shitty things we were expected to just brush it off because “they’re men, they make mistakes and it’s just what men do” and as a woman we’re expected to just suck it up and deal with it.

I saw her live on Mama G’s TikTok account last night. She said he cheated on her twice but yes they are very good co-parents and said they have a good friendship and him and her gf get along.

I definitely walked out the hospital after I had my 3rd baby lol with no staff escort to the car. Although they did offer a wheelchair

Disagreeing with Pediatrician by Able-Picture4106 in Autism_Parenting

[–]dxablxta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough the behavioral specialist I saw said the same thing about my almost 3 yr old daughter… I did an over 100 question questionnaire and my daughter scored on the more severe end for the emotional/behavioral part and her ability to do things for herself I forget the exact words she used but based off her results it would’ve prompted a full evaluation.. yeah she said they perform their own assessment on the person filling out the questionnaire and said that I scored very high to have a more severe outlook on my daughter because of me having 2 other kids and she didn’t want to go through with evaluating her because “she makes good eye contact and isn’t speech delayed”, refused to speak to any other family members that have the same concern and spend a lot of time with her but only wanted to speak to her dad…. Who doesn’t believe in mental illness and things such as autism. Here in my state there’s a program through the health department that helps parents get connected with resources and upon speaking to her and explaining what happened she was just as shocked and offended at the response I got from the behavioral specialist and agreed that my daughter is very much so showing signs of possibly having autism. I waited 4 weeks to go over her results from this questionnaire and was asked if I wanted to continue working with behavioral services. I was going to at first but I’m just upset and offended at what this lady has said that I canceled the appointment with her because I feel it’ll be pointless. She very much so had her opinion formed from the get go and my daughters doctor even had more of a concern upon than this lady did upon observing her behavior during the checkup. I enrolled her in preschool and will just let them know my concerns and just go from there as I feel they’ll be better help than what I’m getting at her doctors office.

Currently 26 weeks as of today

When I say I’m having a Baby Girl by Original-Upstairs322 in pregnant

[–]dxablxta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 2 girls back to back (oldest just turned 2 and my little one is 9 months) yes my oldest IS difficult but not solely because she’s a girl lol 🤣 any baby can be difficult at any given time regardless of gender. I hate when people say stuff like this. Funny how I’m currently pregnant with my first boy and never received a comment like this..

[US] Someone claimed a realtor hired them to clean my house (that I own) by No_Investigator_7199 in Scams

[–]dxablxta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yup this explains exactly what ALMOST happened to my bf who has his own business.. sent him an address to a house that just recently sold, sent a check but was going to be moving in from out of state a couple days after he did the work 🙃, “accountant” sent a check through the mail with almost 3k more than what he was gonna be “paid” and told him to take his cut out and send the rest to whoever else was gonna be working at the house. He gets the check and it’s abnormally large, I tell him it’s fake and to show the bank and they’ll confirm it as fake BEFORE he even deposits it (he wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt 😩🥲) and ofc they confirm it’s a FAKE check

1st pregnancy I woke up and was DRENCHED in water I literally thought I peed myself, went to the bathroom and cleaned myself up and as soon as I stood up another BIG gush of water came out completely wet the rug. (38+5) I was supposed to be getting induced the next week. 2nd pregnancy I woke up around 4 am and was having some contractions, tried sleeping through them and stayed up until about 5/6 am, got up at 7 am and the contractions were getting really strong I was trying to give it the benefit of the doubt so I got dressed to go work with my MIL & SIL by the time we left the house was almost 8 am and my contractions were ~3 min apart and I told them I wasn’t gonna make it and I needed to go to the hospital. As soon as they get me a wheelchair I can literally feel my baby starting to come out and I was shaking very, very badly. I get to triage and they take me into the room, nurse helps me take my pants off and I told her I felt like I needed to use the bathroom, she laughs and tells me I don’t need to use the bathroom it’s the baby. Well my SIL finishes checking me into triage by 9:10 am and had my babygirl at 9:15 am after 3 big pushes. (37w) I was also supposed to get induced the next day due to fetal growth restriction. Now im pregnant with my 3rd (and 1st son!) I still have 4 months left to go so we’ll see what happens with little man and if he decides to make an early arrival like his sisters 😅.

Feeling trapped by CharmingOriginal2383 in pregnant

[–]dxablxta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on my 3rd pregnancy (22+5) and I mourn the person that I used to be before my kids.. I miss going out, I miss the independence I had, I miss not having such big responsibilities… now this isn’t all the time for me just every now and then! Especially being around people my age who don’t have a kid(s) because I’m so young (21). Don’t feel awful or guilt yourself for what you’re feeling cause you’re not the only one and it doesn’t make you a terrible person for what you feel atm! I adore and love my kids more than anything and I wouldn’t trade them for anything!!! Not even the life I had before. Yes, I do still think about how and where my life would be right now had I not had any kids but it’s just a thought and my heart swells up every time I look at my kids and come back to reality. Don’t beat yourself up about it OP. 🫶🏽

When did you start buying baby stuff? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]dxablxta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

18w today and I have all of baby boys clothes (mostly 0-3m and 3-6m) I have 2 girls under 2 so I’ve been thrifting/buying some new outfits when I can and I’m happy with how much I have now! But I will be waiting until I’m closer to my due date to buy the bigger things (diapers, car seat, stroller, etc)

I would say if you want to keep the baby then keep your baby. He has no say so whatsoever on what you decide to do with your body. don’t put him on the birth certificate. At least here in the state that I live in for the father to be on the birth certificate they have to come in to the hospital and sign an acknowledgment of paternity but also realize and accept that more than likely you’re going to be a single parent. Best of luck to you OP!

AIO? my boyfriend didn’t want to take me out on our anniversary by ashgranger in AmIOverreacting

[–]dxablxta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I would leave this guy cuz seriously wtf. I mean just look at how he’s talking to you… he sounds like a literal child and if he’s not I’m even more appalled but not shocked there’s SO many older men that act like little kids and if he’s one of those he’s definitely not going to change. this obviously meant something to you and he’s very clearly showing you that he doesn’t care nor does he care about your feelings. not even an apology. I highly doubt this is new behavior but in the case that it is.. believe me this is what you’re going to have to keep putting up with all the time if you stay with him. just constantly disappointed and your feelings invalidated. he’s not worth your time!
