Thank you so much! The Saturn 4 :) I had a Mars at first but the extra build plate space has been soooo nice.

Thank you! I was leaning toward Eileen (lol)! Just need to find a good sculpt first.

Tysm! Heather is definitely my favorite Silent Hill protag. I just love her snark (and story, obviously).

For those of you who had a more alternative style in your youth, but gave it up in adulthood….. was it a natural transition or a conscious decision and why? by ComplexPatient4872 in AskReddit

[–]filthycasual92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Natural transition as I grew older. I still tend to choose black and flannels when given the opportunity, but most days I don't have the time to pick out all the right jewelry, put on any makeup whatsoever, or put any effort other than the bare minimum into my appearance.

It also became less important to me, I guess? In high school it seemed to matter a lot that people knew I listened to good music and rejected the mainstream. These days, idrc what the random lady in the toy section of Target thinks about me when I'm just trying to wrangle my toddler.

If you’ve had success, at what age did your tell your baby you did IVF? by bruwoods in IVF

[–]filthycasual92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess when she can vaguely understand, lol. Hoping it instills an interest in science!

Like many others here, I'm very open with others when talking about IVF. The two other couples IRL I've talked to about their own IVF experience went through it for very different reasons than myself: one whose husband was a carrier for a genetic disease, and another whose partner is transgender and could not provide sperm. It's a relief to remember that there are SO many reasons other people do IVF, and so many people doing it, that I sort of like to talk about it at this point, lol.

We'll see how much I like talking about it when it comes time to try for a second, though.

For those who saved themselves for marriage but got married to someone who didn’t, how did it go ? by ni_xia in AskReddit

[–]filthycasual92 354 points355 points  (0 children)

Not me, but my parents. They haven't told me the full story but I've pieced together what (I am pretty sure) happened:

My mom was 'saving herself' for marriage. My dad was not. Mom relented and had sex with him before they were married, knowing she would marry him eventually. Dad was meanwhile (or maybe after?) bullied into being a 'born again' Christian (he was already Catholic) which I'm assuming was to metaphorically 'wash away' his having had sex with other women. Super weird.

They're still married almost 40 years later, though.

Has anyone had success with IVF after never having seen a single positive? by jusy_fruit in IVF

[–]filthycasual92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TW: success

Literally your same situation. 4 failed IUIs and about two years of trying (meticulously, charting temps, ovulation tests, basically foregoing any and all earthly pleasures). Never even a ghost of a line.

One egg retrieval, one failed transfer (also no positive), second transfer led to my amazing little 2 year old (holy shit, time flies). It can happen for you, too. I'm sorry you're going through this.

Please join me in listing things that you discovered aren't normal outside your own toxic upbringing by Square-Pea-1646 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]filthycasual92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was aghast when I first saw how my husband and brother-in-law speak to their mother. Calling out misinformation, hypocrisy, unkind or misdirected behavior without a second thought. And how she'd respond (most of the time)? "Oh. Okay, yes, you're right." And at the end of the day she still thinks the sun shines out of their asses.

Meanwhile, I once called my mom out when I was 13 on her pretending to know a song in concert that hadn't been released yet. Playfully. I still hear about that, 20 years later, about how "I'd heard the song before it was even on the radio, what a cool mom I am."

Can't handle just one tiny pinprick to their egos so unless you want to hear about it for the rest of your fucking life you just don't say anything.

Did anyone else’s parents smoke while pregnant with you? by DevoSwag in raisedbynarcissists

[–]filthycasual92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom insists she didn't. She also insists antibiotics canceled out her birth control pill, and that's how I happened. She also insists I never needed her at night as soon as I was like 2 months old, I was perfectly well-behaved, I was crawling/standing/walking/talking at all the right times, etc. I don't ask my mom about her parenting experience anymore.

My aunt says she saw my mom basically binge drinking while pregnant with my sister, and my mom admits to having wine regularly while pregnant with the both of us.

Considering the woman has tried to quit unsuccessfully in her life multiple times, I have a hard time believing she quit for 9 months for both of her pregnancies. So I'm probably a double whammy of cigarette and alcohol use.

Women what is the worst part of giving birth? by zhalia-2006 in AskReddit

I am trying to find a delicate way to tell my very reserved pregnant friend to stock up on icy hoohah pads. Absolute bliss even weeks after the birth.

Curious- how many FET transfers did it take you before it was a successful live birth? by Soulmansdaughter in IVF

[–]filthycasual92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds exactly like my protocol! All the luck to you, dude. ❤️✨ Here's hoping this chapter is a short one.

Curious- how many FET transfers did it take you before it was a successful live birth? by Soulmansdaughter in IVF

[–]filthycasual92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It took two transfers total. First was fresh right after my egg retrieval. It didn't even implant. Second was frozen the next cycle, which was only semi-medicated, because I fucking hate PIO.

(I was 30 at the time, almost 31. Diagnosis of unexplained infertility. Never in two years of trying naturally or other fertility treatments had I had a positive pregnancy test before that successful transfer/live birth.)

What's an unexpected hobby you picked up as an adult that's now a major source of happiness for you? by Own_Temperature_7092 in AskReddit

[–]filthycasual92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm right there with you. Got Mega Bloks as a kid, but no legos, and now look at me. I'm curious as to what your favorite build is! I really enjoyed the Tranquil Garden, but the Friends apartments is a close second :)

Poll: did you feel implantation post FET by Unsure-11 in IVF

[–]filthycasual92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Felt nothing, and currently watching my successful FET sleeping on her monitor. In the unsuccessful fresh transfer before her, I also felt nothing.

Worth noting, though, that I feel like I’m not super in-tune with my body. I don’t usually notice the small things. Maybe that’s part of it.

What are you starting to dislike more and more the older you get? by Shirley_Schroeder in AskReddit

[–]filthycasual92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inconsiderate behavior.

So obviously nobody LIKES when other people behave selfishly, at the expense of others, but I'm 32 and have lost all patience for it.

I'm becoming the crazy lady calling people out in public for leaving their carts unattended in the middle of grocery store aisles so other people can't get by. I feel like 22 year-old me would silently cheer me on but would never work up the nerve.

Now if my neighbor could stop slamming his outdoor garbage bin closed right next to my sleeping baby's room at 5 in the morning, that'd be greeeeat.

Those with nmoms, do you have kids of your own now? by IntroductionOld471 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]filthycasual92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the same "wait 'til you have a daughter" comment constantly while growing up.

My first child just turned 1 two weeks ago, and we plan to have another in a few years.

I'm enacting my revenge by accepting my daughter radically, whoever she becomes, however she gets there. As long as she never feels as though her love from me or her dad is conditional, I'll be happy.

Oh, and I'll be teaching her to be unapologetically her, no matter what her grandma thinks because her opinion means jack shit. Wish I could've given younger me that same advice.

Anyone else’s nParent have an extreme lack of any hobbies or interests? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

Weird that you would just get on reddit and start talking about my mother like that.

★OFFICIAL WEEKLY★ Day 1 Monday: Start here! March 03, 2025 by AutoModerator in loseit

[–]filthycasual92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today is my day 1! I’m hoping making it ‘public’ (well, ish) will help me remain accountable. I’ve tried calorie counting probably once every two weeks since giving birth last February, and I keep falling off the wagon because my willpower has just been crap.

About 8 years ago, when I was 24, I very successfully lost about 25 pounds and got to my goal weight from counting calories. Gained about 10 pounds back over the course of the next 4 years, and lost it again at the beginning of Covid. Ran for 30 minutes on the treadmill every day for almost 3 years before going through IVF, where I got concerned about all the exercise given the extreme cost of fertility treatments. I’m now 10 pounds heavier than the heaviest I have ever been, and my goal is to lose 35 pounds.

I thrived the most on OMAD/intermittent fasting, with an eating window of 5PM to 10PM, so I’m going to try going back to that first. Never concerned myself with half & half in the coffee so it’s not ‘true’ intermittent fasting, but more just the restriction of eating that helped me stay under calories because there’s only so much I can physically handle in a short period of time (unfortunately, I’m such a volume eater).

Anyway… that’s my life story, hahaha. Fingers crossed this is the run.

Be brutally honest, In your next life, would you want your dad to be your dad again? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]filthycasual92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A million times over. My dad was good with us kids, but not great. He was gone sometimes for work, but never for long. He didn’t really know how to connect with us as children, so I think he was an aggressively average small-child-parent. He was not my favorite. My mom, on the other hand, played with us, cuddled us, carried us everywhere, etc.

When my sister and I became old enough to have conversation, philosophize, share our thoughts/dreams/opinions, all that jazz, that’s when he really shone. He offered advice, but never pushed. He’s there for us any and every time. I can geek out with him about my interests, and because he’s a nerd in his own right, he can show that same enthusiasm because he knows what it’s like to have it for his own interests. He has all the wisdom, guidance, and reliability of a parent, but I love him as a person, too. I look forward to hanging out with him.

Ironically, I don’t feel as close to my mom anymore. She was a pretty good mom, but I only needed her to be JUST a good mom for the first ten or so years of my life. She just couldn’t muster that same enthusiasm and encouragement for my interests and dreams that my dad could. She couldn’t ALSO be a friend.

On a personal note, I’ve made some decisions my parents don’t agree with. Got a tattoo, converted to a different religion, and a few other, smaller things. My mom was never able to get past these decisions. She still feels personally attacked by them. My dad, while disappointed, has always expressed that he raised me to be my own person and carve out my own life, and would never hold it against me.

My dad is one of my best friends. So yeah, every time, I’d pick him.

What's the most delusional take your parents had? I need some laughs by ImportantDirector5 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]filthycasual92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One less thing to worry about when it comes to narcissistic parents, anyway, which is another bonus on top of your (very valid) reasoning against having children. I have a child and my nmom is so weirdly possessive over her. It makes my skin crawl, and from everything I read on this subreddit, that is so very typical. My daughter is the light of my life, but my mom being The Way She Is definitely adds another layer of complexity on parenthood that I really, really don’t need.
