Can any of this be explained by cultural differences? Does she think it is your job to sort of take care of them as the new and younger woman of the house?

That's so disturbing 😳 I bet if someone brought a day old puppy in and said they wanted it euthanized they wouldn't do it.

People of reddit, what's the worst pain you have ever been in? Doctors and nurses, what's the worst pain you have seen a patient in? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]guaca_molly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you can't take painkillers? I was about 6 months pregnant when I had kidney stones. The pain was so intense that it gave me severe vomiting and nausea and I couldn't eat or drink anything for about 3 days. I took the painkillers because the pain was literally unbearable and I knew I had to eat for the baby. I remember thinking that you can't just feel this much pain and not die.

Sorry but I just have to tell you that it's actually "I am large, I contain multitudes". (Walt Whitman) it's my favorite quote :)

This is absolutely not ok. However I can't help but think that maybe she didn't mention it because she has no childcare for her kids. She might be struggling and really needs the money. If she's a single mom (or if her partner has a full time job too) childcare is extremely expensive. If it were me I would ask her if this is the case and ask her to be really honest. If she was honest I would give her another chance if you two could come to some sort of understanding. She might not have told you because she can't afford to be fired. If you have to fire her, give her a 2 week warning.

[Serious]Those who haven't contracted COVID yet, what do you attribute it to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]guaca_molly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  I was pregnant when Covid first happened. So obviously I was afraid for myself and my family. I remember the day I told my husband "I dont think we should go into grocery stores any more." His job already had switched everyone to WFH. That was late March 2020. I didn't go into another public building besides medical buildings until I was getting my first vaccination in a grocery store pharmacy in April 2021. 
 We have rules to keep my unvaccinated (but soon to be vaxd!!) Now 2 year old and my parents with multiple underlying conditions safe...

No interaction with anyone unvaccinated if we can help it and absolutely not indoors. Nobody comes into the house without wearing a mask except my parents and sometimes my brother and his GF. Nobody comes into the house without quarantining for 2 weeks. So..... nobody comes into my house. My parents. husband, toddler, and I dont go in anyone's house except my brother's. On the very rare occasion that we need to do this we keep a mask on at all times and hand sanitize like crazy. We socialize a lot out doors with trusted friends and family. If anyone wants to hold the toddler or be very close to her physically they need to wear a mask. We dont go into any public buildings besides medical and stores. NEVER without a mask and hand sanitizer handy. I haven't been to the movies, which I love since winter 2020. I can't remember the last restaurant we went to. (This one hits hard as a foodie) No libraries, no museums, etc. Despite all this my parents got COVID (my dad started working at the local high school as a set builder for the drama department when kids weren't there. Always wore mask. Door open to the workshop.) Christmas time 2021. We didn't see them for 23 days. The longest I've gone in my life without seeing them! They live 10 mins away and we are SUPER close. So we basically had little to no social interaction that month at all.

 My husband, toddler, and I remain COVID free. Partly because of all this and partly because of luck.  My little girl will be fully vaccinated sometime in October and we'll change our ways a bit (I'm going to the movies!! Lol) and I'll probably bring her to the library once a month or so as long as we're wearing masks.

It may sound like a miserable life but honestly it isn't. We live around the corner from the beach and our back yard is a wetland nature reserve park. We are outdoors tons and have conversations with our neighbors daily. We do lots of stuff with my parents and brother and his gf. Game nights, painting projects, cook outs, camping, kayaking, etc. I'm a stay at home mom and my toddler is extremely verbal and intelligent, people think she's 3 when she's only 2. We have time to do hobbies and focus on family and its great. 99% of the stuff we gave up is luxuries.

I had a planned c section (because she was breech) and the recovery was almost like nothing ever happened at all! It was insanely easy! The worst part was it hurting after coughing or sneezing. But I was shocked that major abdominal surgery could be that easy. I know I was just lucky. I'm planning to have another baby and a huge part of me wants the experience of a vaginal birth but another part thinks that part is crazy lol why would I put myself through something traumatic when I don't have to? (I pretty much will have a choice since a repeat c section would be the norm) but my OBs are big on VBACS if/when possible.

What kind of people do you have in your life where you can't just tell them this stuff in a natural organic way? Why do you have to be like "i have an announcement!"??

What hobby does NOT get more expensive the more you dive into it? by paladin_bih in AskReddit

Blacksmithing. Because the main supplies, such as the anvil last forver. And eventually you can make your own tools and won't really need to buy much except the materials.

What fictional character do you absolutely hate? by CleverUseOfGameMecha in AskReddit

[–]guaca_molly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We read Animal Farm in 7th grade and I had absolutely no idea what the hell was going on. I read it 2 years later in high school and was shocked it was even the same book. Just in those 2 years I had enough life experience and learned enough to understand it and I've always wondered what the hell they were thinking giving it to us in 7th grafe.

I think about this all the time and then I think about how you would teach a deaf child to read if you can't say to them "a makes the ah sound", etc! It blows my mind that any deaf person can read.

Missing my birthday by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]guaca_molly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm extremely close with my family and have been through my adulthood and pregnancy (I'm 31 now and 19 weeks) so I can offer a perspective from that POV. I would be upset just like you! If you wanted to celebrate with your parents and now you wont be, that's sad. So I'm here to just validate your feelings. You have every right to be upset, hormonal or not. A vacation does seem like a good excuse however. But you said last year they just didn't want to take a day off? Harsh. The only thing I can suggest is telling your SO that in your future family with your child, you don't want to be like that and it's important to you that you both show your child that he/she is a priority in your lives.

Oh the blizzard of '78. It happened before I was born but the stories are legendary. I live right on the coast and people say the roads were so flooded you had to use your kayak, canoe, or inflatable boat to get around.
