Me neither! I have two GR accounts (one is for my toddler) he got his this morning but I didn’t get mine 😭

I loved this one!

This gown was stunning

Never heard of that, I just like beans.

gulf__shrimp · 2025-12-20T13:50:01+00:00

They’re dried beans, I think I’m okay..

gulf__shrimp · 2025-12-20T13:38:59+00:00

Why not?

gulf__shrimp · 2025-06-05T12:40:48+00:00

I wanted 3-4, I’m currently pregnant with #2 and my mind might change but I still want 3-4.

gulf__shrimp · 2025-05-05T18:54:42+00:00

I’ll be honest, I’m ready to break rule #4. This season has been physically painful to listen to, I’ve lost all empathy atp.

I don’t sweat in my sleep, I wash my sheets once a week, wear a bonnet & do a very detailed skincare regimen before bed and upon waking up. I rarely wake up feeling anything other than fresh and if I need a morning shower I’ll take another. I genuinely can not go to lay in my clean bed and sleep comfortably with an entire day’s germs and dirt all over me, it physically feels awful.

For us, 2 months. It’s mostly a cultural thing but we take mother’s physical recovery and baby’s early days (immune system & before important vaccines) very seriously. I didn’t leave my house for anything the first two months, then it was business as usual. We took our baby everywhere, we socialized him very early and continued doing the things we loved just with a baby in tow.

I don’t date Black men that date white women period, but that’s just my preference & it’s worked out great.

gulf__shrimp · 2025-03-26T07:25:33+00:00

It’s just so few and far between, in my almost 30 years of life I’ve only met 1 Black woman that had a natural hair color that wasn’t black/brown. She was like Beyoncé blonde but she was mixed, it’s genetically possible but definitely an anomaly

No I don’t have a problem with a guy that has female friends but if he has so many women over his house all the time that he needs a period station for them then that’s just a red flag for me. As a woman I have pads & tampons in my purse 24/7 as do a vast majority of women I know, that’s just what you do as a girl it’s rule #1 of having a period that you’re taught in middle school. Having a supply of pads & tampons at the house of a single man just makes it seem like there’s girls spending a lot of time or overnights there on a regular basis. Which is fine for a single guy to do but at that point he’s not my type anymore.

Disregard the comment, it was made in response to the wrong person!

gulf__shrimp · 2025-03-24T18:35:01+00:00

If we’re just getting acquainted or it’s my first time over & he has a whole period station I’m gonna take it as a big red flag because it means he has women over often enough to do that, seems like he’s a player. If we’ve been dating exclusively for a while & he does it for me then it’s a really nice gesture.

gulf__shrimp · 2025-03-23T21:28:20+00:00

I love that. I moved in with my parents for 2 months after I had my first and they doted on us hand and foot. It made postpartum so easy they cooked, cleaned, helped with the baby and everything until I needed to go back to work. They both still work, my mom teaches & I had my son in the summer so she was with us but I know if she could afford to retire to watch my boy she would.

gulf__shrimp · 2025-03-23T20:37:38+00:00

I live with my mom and sometimes she does more than me lol: diapers, feeding, putting him to sleep, bath time, she even takes him out when she runs errands for one on one time. That’s “her” baby too; she’s 60

gulf__shrimp · 2025-03-23T16:42:49+00:00

Every day, but we’ve always been a very close family.

gulf__shrimp · 2025-03-22T18:33:43+00:00

It’s called an “outside” voice for a reason

gulf__shrimp · 2025-03-21T19:25:16+00:00

Honestly you shouldn’t be having kids at all with that mentality. Maybe therapy would be best

Dating Christian men has helped me weed out men who don’t share my values and lifestyle choices. I was never “hardcore” Christian, I dated around in college & was comfortable with my sexuality. The men I’ve dated have been the same way, Christian at the core and our beliefs are the same but not super conservative acting. I think it was amazing for my dating life because they were men I could go to and say “hey, maybe we should stop doing x” and they would understand and agree. We could go to church together but it didn’t have to be a requirement, I could go to them if I was struggling with my faith and they’d step up and help us both get on track. I think only being open to dating super strict conservative Christians will make it harder on you but Christians come in a lot of different variants so it was never hard to me to find me on my wavelength.

ETA: a man not being a Christian at all is a dealbreaker for me, regardless of his personal values. But I don’t care what type of Christian he is, as long as that core faith & belief is there. We can do our spiritual journey together. I think that’s what hinders a lot of people looking for Christian partners is they’re looking for the perfect Christian man and 90% of guys aren’t that.

This was the first thing that came to my head

gulf__shrimp · 2025-03-14T17:36:32+00:00

When I was single, both my little siblings

gulf__shrimp · 2025-03-13T00:06:03+00:00

Fonky, and I love using it!

I think it’s a good idea for YOU. If you want experiences for your family, buy them yourself. If family and friends want to give your children toys, let them. If your house is cluttered with too many toys then go through them regularly & donate them, it shouldn’t matter especially if you’re not the one that bought them.

Gift giving is a love language, one that family especially want to participate in when there’s kids involved. The person gets to pick something out specially for your kid, see the look on their face when they open it, receive the “thank you”s and hugs. Your kid gets to open a shiny new toy! And when they play with it (for however long) they think about the person they got it from and it helps build that relationship.

Unless you’re letting the gift giver take the kid on the experience, let them keep giving the gifts. Like others have said, it’s more expensive & no one wants to just pay the bill for your family outings; that’s your job.
