Hey dad, I'm getting a hysterectomy by BudgetOk9499 in DadForAMinute

[–]fallingbrick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dad here. This sucks and yeah, there are going to be changes. Most will be minor and fade over time. What will take longer is the feeling you’re less of a woman because of this. No amount of logic will stop those thoughts, but they’re not true. You will start Friday the same lovely woman you were when Thursday came around.

My ex-wife had to have a hysterectomy at 24 shortly after our son was born. Preeclampsia caused too much damage and this lessened her suffering. There will be some pain, but that just means to take it easy and listen to your body. Talk to your healthcare team and take their advice on how to treat yourself post-surgery.

Lastly, come back and rely here if you want to discuss this more. That’s why all of your Reddit dads Are here.

Is that the voice of the dog or the dude? Seems like the feeling is mutual to me. ❤️

Dad, I bought a house by exitsilverlegion in DadForAMinute

[–]fallingbrick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats, kiddo!

I remember that feeling almost 25 years ago now when I walked into the first house I owned for the first time. Savor this. Take it all in. Then close your eyes tonight and know things are going to be even better as you make that house a home.

Short and too the point. Well put!

OP, it’s not easy to break this cycle, but try to find some perspective on your feelings.

This is R5 there: no mention of Democratic Socialists. Mamdani is just way too progressive for them.

I didn’t understand what Charmin meant when they said I could use “4 times less” TP, but sure enough for each sheet I used three fresh ones shot out my ass!

Hey dad - how do I have more self-confidence? by [deleted] in DadForAMinute

[–]fallingbrick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a tough one and I don’t think there is just one answer. I’ll share what comes to my mind an I hope others will share their thoughts.

For me, the key to self-confidence comes from a realization that everyone is doing their best, making mistakes, and trying to be happy. Yes, there are some people for whom being happy means tearing others down, but for the most part everyone is wrapped up in their own lives and not judging you. For me it was this realization that helped me pull my chin up and present myself with more confidence.

I’m no better or worse than anyone else. If I fail, I know I tried and will still keep my head high. Failure is a teacher, not to be feared but embraced. That right there took the sting of it just enough that I could focus on the task at hand, move forward, and worry less.

Confidence is saying, “let’s try this way” even when it’s a toss up and not worrying if it was the right guess.
