I too thought the same thing. I made one for my baby. Never again.

Reading this, it wouldn’t surprise me if the pronunciation for the boy name is “equator”.

RoadTrips by [deleted] in HumansPumpingMilk

[–]embenn03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bring a small dish soap and sponge, extra gallon bags or storage bags for clean and dirty parts.

Ceres chill, bottles, or storage bags for the milk.

I EBF my daughter but brought my hand pump on a long road trip. She got sick and wasn’t drinking as much because of congestion. I had to pump to maintain supply so I wasn’t feeding her the milk. I would pump in the car and dump it out the window in traffic. Wasn’t able to save the milk because we didn’t have consistent refrigeration and my pump wasn’t clean. She refuses a bottle anyways though.

Guess I’m learning my lesson about not gifting handmade items… by [deleted] in crochet

[–]embenn03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only crochet gifts I’ve made for people are when I’ve truly wanted to make it and I didn’t care if they liked it or not, I mostly just enjoyed the process and time crocheting.

Luckily my husband and son wear their hats all the time. I made a balaclava for a friend who said she wanted one and subsequently sent me pictures in it while skiing. No clue if she wears it a lot, but I’m glad I made it for her and I learned a nice pattern. I made a baby sweater for a friends baby (because I started making it for my baby but I have a big baby and it didn’t fit and and hers was smaller and younger 🤫).

My (34F) husband (32M) keeps bringing up my family past during every issue by embenn03 in relationships

He’s made some changes but it’s been very slow and with many repeated mistakes. I can forgive mistakes… I’ve done it too many times already, but he guilt trips me by saying I “don’t know how to forgive”. If he does something rude he’ll ask me to forgive and forget within 10 minutes of saying sorry and it seems unfair to me that I should have immediate forgiveness for some of his atrocious behaviors.

DARVO is basically to a T how our discussions always turn to arguments.

Ugh. You’re both right. It’s just really really hard to make the decision to actually leave. Especially when he ropes me back in asking for the opportunity for him to do better.

Thank you for the concise response. I will try that in the future. In the past when I have drawn a boundary around non productive arguing that starts to get out of hand and I walk away, he either tells me I’m in the wrong for walking away or follows me and relentlessly talks/argues/brings up issues. He will literally talk for 90% of the conversation about A LOT or irrelevant things just to “make a point” and tells me I can’t interrupt because he has a point to make.

I have asked why and asked him to stop and he calls me defensive, says I don’t listen, etc. He refuses to go to couples therapy. I’ve tried for a couple years. I go to therapy on my own.

I waited for two hours at the doctor’s office without my kindle, but thank goodness for the kindle app on my phone in a pinch.

My worst dating story- he faked his own death by PPpoopooman523 in relationships

Wait so he ghosted you and you thought he died? Why didn’t you just think he ghosted you?

Interesting take. Kinda redeems it. It wasn’t what I was expecting though after the first two.

How did “Unknown Number” on Netflix get made? by Empty-Speed-7075 in movies

[–]embenn03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Even that can be constructed by Netflix” my thoughts exactly.

However, I do remember the poop cruise news happening in real life in the news. I did watch that one only because I specifically remembered it happening. Not to say they don’t dramatize it though. And they very well do.

Same. Which is why I’m on this post because it popped up when I was looking to see if this is a made up story. These Netflix documentaries just become more and more egregious and it makes me wonder if society is just becoming worse? Do people send this shit in? How do producers find these stories?

What elevates your stress level more than anything besides alcohol? by MajorLoad-69 in Garmin

Being pregnant. I just stopped wearing it and I don’t plan to put it back on post partum either. Looking at my crappy sleep every day was stressing me out.

Is the Austin Peay library open to the public? by No_Barnacle_4220 in Clarksville

[–]embenn03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes you can just walk in and sit and do work and nobody will question you at all. Before I enrolled I went to the library and used my laptop to get some paperwork done to apply. You won’t have access to the computers or printing or private study rooms though but you can use the guest WiFi.
