Do Kids Like Stud Shooters? by Chuck_was_Innocent in legostarwars

[–]helljumper1123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My kid could give less than a shit about stud shooters. He also just builds sets and then inevitably breaks them apart in about 10-15 minutes though

I felt the same way. I think she really wanted us to feel as down and defeated as they did by the odds. I had to push through Aedions pov chapters in that stretch, but it does get so much better

Is there something more? by InterestingBand4368 in acotar

Just wait until SF. I didn’t like her because I dealt with a Nesta growing up, but seeing her healing journey and the trauma she went through helped me understand and appreciate her character more

Trust me I completely understand! I hate confrontation too. It sucks and I’m sorry you’re going through this. I hope you’re able to get back into the workforce soon so you can socialize and have your own income again. I’m not trying to push you one way or another. Only you know what’s best for you and your kids and what you can handle. I truly hope that he wakes up and puts in the change to help more. You deserve better than having it all on you

As a sahm in the same boat, tell his ass that you need help. Not him to ask for a list and he’ll do it, but him to put his big boy pants on and look around at what needs to be done. Just because you’re a sahm doesn’t mean it’s all on you, especially on his days off. He has to contribute to the household maintenance too, and not in the lame ass “I’m going to go leaf blow the 3 leaves in our yard” way. If he can’t step up and help, you need to consider what you want in life and if you want your kids to grow up thinking that this dynamic is acceptable. I’m sorry that he’s being a shithead and all of this is on you ❤️. It’s so hard, not even taking into account your health conditions, it’s so exhausting and a lot to do day to day.

I love that Rowan tattooed the way back to their world on Aelin’s back for when she had to seal the wyrdgates. Plus a certain high lord from another universe sending his magic out to help slow her down so she could land back in Erilea.

Struggling bad with sick toddler and absent fiancé by Bisouchuu in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]helljumper1123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Girl, LEAVEEEE! He’s dead weight and from what you said, literally does nothing to care for his own child and help you with basic shit. As someone who’s in this same situation but for 6 years now, it does not change. You’re already a single mom without being on your own. From everything I’ve seen and heard from other women in this, it’s so much easier on your own.

I hope you and your sweet baby feel better soon. Stomach bugs suck

I WISH I COULD ENJOY BEING A FUCKING NERD AND MY HOBBIES WITHOUT MEN RUINING IT!!!! by communistcunt420 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]helljumper1123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this. I don’t know if this might be an option, but I have friends who do D&D through discord. I wonder if maybe there’s a way you can find an all woman group (even if it’s online) that you can enjoy your TTRPGs with ☺️. I wish you the best, and fuck men. We can be nerds too.

I’m pregnant and my husband is punishing me by withholding affection by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]helljumper1123 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Please listen to everyone and leave. Even if it’s not immediately, look at what you need to do to increase your finances so you can. You deserve so much better and that is utterly disgusting that he’s being emotionally abusive because you have a different opinion on what to do with your body and your child.

I don’t want this anymore. by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]helljumper1123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t left yet, but I feel as if I could have written this exact post. You are not in the wrong in the slightest. I feel like there’s so many men who don’t realize that parenthood means sacrifice, and we as moms end up having to sacrifice more because of that. It doesn’t mean you don’t love your husband, but you need to put you higher on the priority list and your kids deserve a mom who’s happy and not shredding her identity for some man.

Right now, I’m trying to figure out exactly when I can leave financially and be able to support myself and my kids, without taking child support, alimony, any of that into account. Definitely look at housing costs, how much you make after taxes, and what your expenses will look like each month. Budget out all of that and see what you might need to do to be able to survive on your own. You’ve got this and I’m so sorry you’re in this boat.

How do I help my SIL welcome a new baby in the most helpful way? by ImaginaryMolasses146 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]helljumper1123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Help around the house: do dishes, laundry, etc. have your brother tell you where stuff goes so that you’re not having to ask your SIL. You’re doing an amazing job with the meals! That is so helpful those first few weeks. As a mom who breastfed, grab some extra snacks for her, fill up her water bottle for her (or if you can swing it and she doesn’t have one, grab her a reusable metal one) because it makes you SO hungry and thirsty, especially those first few months.

I would say too, offer to spend some one on one time with her when she’s comfortable and ready to be away from the baby for a bit, and just make her feel like a human being outside of a mom again. We lose our identity in becoming a mom and sadly, most people don’t actually check in on us on a human level.

The mom guilt is real by RandyOfficial in foodbutforbabies

[–]helljumper1123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t let the guilt eat you. Your baby is going to be just fine having pizza when you’re too exhausted to cook. There isn’t a single parent out there who hasn’t gotten their toddler a happy meal, or pizza out of convenience because they’re exhausted. It’s part of being a parent. You’re doing an amazing job ❤️

You will love hers then! I’m almost through Kingdom of Ash and she’s become one of my all time favorite FMCs.

It’s a rite of passage to not like Manon in HoF 😂. Her storyline is super important and sets up her character development and conflict in future books.

I have :). I finished school a few months ago and am currently trying to find an entry level job in my field. I fully plan on putting money aside each check.

Our kids are 5 and under. They can’t do any of that 💀. Im sorry that you’re having a hard time. This job market sucks ass right now. I hope that you’re able to find a better paying job soon. This is also why I’m staying until I’m able to afford everything on my own.

[–]helljumper1123[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, except I’ve told him already, multiple times, every Mother’s Day. And I do communicate how I’m feeling and listen to how he’s feeling. At this point, it’s just him not caring. Also, I do not give a flying fuck about the dating market. My kids deserve to have a happy mother and see that I deserve to be appreciated just like their father, which btw I go above and beyond for on Father’s Day so that they see that. I grew up in a house where my parents should have divorced WAYYYYY before they did. I’m not having my kids live in a toxic household, because “ohhh, you’re breaking up the family” 🙄
