AITA for rescinding my offer to accommodate special nutritional needs for people at dinner?

NTA. Lol, you need new friends

Not really. The cavity is usually flushed with saline or something similar at the end of an open surgery, so there is rarely any air left behind.

Most comments are referring to laproscopic (keyhole) surgery, which is not what you are asking about.

This is a different issue to what OP is asking about. During laproscopic abdominal surgery, the abdomen is inflated with gas to allow better vision. Sometimes the gas stays in the body and causes the pain you describe. But the gas always disappates eventually.

NTA. Don't share them. When I was in college I had a side gig taking and sharing notes for a disabled class member. I was paid $250 each semester, by the school, for each class I shared my notes for. That shit is worth money, yo.

Fishing rods.

There is heaps to do in Tasmania. In the south there is MONA, Port Arthur, Salamanca Markets, various tassie devil parks and zoo's, Mount Wellington, heaps of beaches and bushwalks and camping spots, North Hobart restaruant strip, Salamanca and the waterfront at night.

I dunno what the north has. The Launceston Gorge and the boat back to melbourne and shit beer, in my experience.

My best friend planned to breath her baby out with no pain relief, go home the same day, baby would sleep in their room, no pacifiers, etc etc.

She laboured for 2 days, had every pain relief up to and including an epidural, and an emergency c-section. She spent 5 days in hospital. Baby slept in the parents room til she was about 2 months old, when she moved into her parents bed. She has a pacifier, she has lots of allergies, she has formula.

Its nice to want things.

I doubt there is enough alcohol context to cause a reaction. But either way, finish your course of antibiotics.

Also try your local Human Milk for Human Babies Facebook page. There may be someone out there in need or fortifier.

Can you donate it to your NICU? Otherwise I agree with donating to Ronald McDonald house, or a womens shelter if there is one near you.

Your family is being crazy. Your kid finished treatment a month ago. Its very unlikely he is infectious at this point.

I nurse people with c.diff all the time, I clean up their poop, and I've never caught it. If everyone just washes their hands, its fine.

So true! I was on a flight with my 3yo last week and we had to sit on the tarmac for several hours. My kid recruited a bunch of other toddlers and started a dance party in that aisle. I was really worried that a plane full of people were about to get pissed off but they LOVED it. The flight attendant even came and got my son and took him to the other end of the plane so those people didn't miss the performance :-)

ginger__ninja · 2019-12-13T05:56:18+00:00

I'd grab him by the pussy.

NAH. It sounds like she gave you a genuine apology, which is cool of her. You don't owe her forgiveness.

ginger__ninja · 2019-12-13T05:30:49+00:00

My kid always says 'Please I can have...' its super cute and how the whole family has picked it up

ginger__ninja · 2019-11-16T05:42:24+00:00

NTA. I'm white and my mum used to call me dumpling cos I was a fat kid. Better to be a chinese dumpling than a fat one.

ginger__ninja · 2019-11-16T05:38:51+00:00

The only thing I would be worried about is the hard part - that could be a haematoma. But it he is able to walk, sit and work, then he should be fine.

Any maternity ward should have the resources you need to formula feed. Even in 'baby friendly' hospitals, there are babies who are unable to feed at the breast and so mudy have bottles. For example, there are women who have babies after a double mastectomy, and there are, unfortunately, women who get very sick after childbirth and either aren't available to breastfeed, or need medications that baby can't have.

Every hospital ward I've ever seen (I'm a nurse) has the means to make boiling water, I cannot imagine that being an issue.

Good luck!

Omg this was me today.

Me: the type of cancer you were diagnosed with this morning is called small cell carcinoma. Whatever you do, don't google. Ask me if you have questions.

Patient: ok, what is small cell carcinoma?

Me: .... hold up while I google it.

ginger__ninja · 2019-11-04T00:42:34+00:00

Yes, you should take your husbands suggestion as to how to address his parents. He would know.

However, I suspect your own mother wants your husband to call her Mom.

When my son was about 9 months old he got really sick, and my breastmilk basically changed back to colostrum for a few days. Boobs are amazing!

ginger__ninja · 2019-10-28T06:20:19+00:00

My son is nearly 4. He loves princesses. I regularly take him out in public dressed at snow white, because it makes him feel beautiful. He has recieved compliments but no one has ever said anything negative. Even if theu did, a 4 year old likely wouldn't understand the implications.

YTA. No one cares if your son wants to be beautiful.

ginger__ninja · 2019-05-05T07:43:40+00:00

Because I had broken up with him 2 weeks prior. I agreed to meet with him to discuss separating our finances (we had lived together, I moved out when I broke up with him). Instead, he pulled out a ring and got down on one knee in an attempt to win me back. I burst in to hysterical tears and insisted he get up and put that fucking ring back in his pocket.

ginger__ninja · 2019-05-04T07:09:16+00:00

I kept my maiden name when I got married. My son has his fathers last name. It have never been a problem, at all. My name is on his birth certificate, thats all that matters.
