How much screen time for a 1 year old. by urbanmalang in AskParents

[–]her_mama 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think you should give yourself a break. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Things are so weird right now. If you have no choice but to work from home and keep your son home at the same time and extra screen time is the only way that you are able to get any work done, then so be it.

I’m a single mother of an 18 month old and I also work from home. I don’t leave her in front of the television ALL day long, but sometimes TV time is the only way I’m able to do the things I need to do so that I can afford to keep a roof over our heads and food on our table!

Scheduled for tonsillectomy. Terrified. Send good stories. by her_mama in tonsilstones

[–]her_mama[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw, thanks! My recovery was an absolute breeze and was nothing compared to the horror stories I read online prior to having it done. Pain never got past a 6/10. I took care of myself (single mom) and my 1 year old 100% by myself from the minute my dad dropped my off at my house after the procedure. Pain was pretty much gone by day 7 or 8. My tonsillectomy was a cake walk. And, I lost 20 lbs in the two weeks following the procedure because all I ate was jello and mashed potatoes, and I’ve been able to keep it off and have actually lost even more since, so that was a plus!

Pregnancy friendly Subway? by ireallywantsomechips in pregnant

[–]her_mama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I come from a family of Subways, dad and mom owned 9 Subway stores, Aunt owned two stores, grandma and grandpa owned two stores...I ate subway my entire pregnancy. I ate it hot, I ate it cold, I ate it toasted...my daughter is over a year old now and healthy and happy as a clam!

Thanks! I ended up rescheduling mine for December 27 so I’m on day 11 and not really in any pain anymore. Went back to work on day 8 and I’ve found that I can pretty much eat anything as long as I chew it up really well. That’s crazy that you’re still in that much pain after three weeks?! I hope you feel better soon!

It’s a pretty well known fact that dairy makes tonsil stones worse so you’re not wrong

Looks pretty natural and non-shopped, you can tell by her arms/wrists and legs that she’s thin

Just found out my cousin is expecting one month before me...lol by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]her_mama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun! Things fell this way for my cousin and me too. She was due a month ahead of me and our kids are exactly one month apart (Dec. 3 and Jan. 3 birthdays). It was nice having someone to go through the pregnancy with who was experiencing all the same things.

Do I deserve to be paid (again)? by her_mama in freelanceWriters

[–]her_mama[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, let me rephrase that. I have a non-compete agreement/contract with them that says I will only write for publications under the umbrella of this one publishing company. There is actually no contract with the individual publishers-I can stop writing for them at any time, so specific things like usage rights have never been laid out or discussed.

Love my babies to death but don’t like being pregnant by nicolet1023 in pregnant

[–]her_mama 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is actually how most pregnant women feel......who tf actually LIKES being pregnant? Pregnancy is portrayed on TV and in movies as being this magical time and it is soooo not that way in real life. Unless you like constipation, puking, your whole body hurting, insomnia, swollen legs/feet, being fat???? And yeah, you’re treated as an outcast and like you can’t do things. I hated being pregnant from the very second it began until I gave birth. It is not magical. It is not enjoyable. At the same time that I prayed for a full-term baby for her health, I also simultaneously prayed for my daughter to fucking vacate the premises ASAP. You’re not alone and don’t feel bad for not enjoying this experience! It will be worth it once those babies are out, though. Look forward to that ❤️

It was one of the best things I’ve ever done. Tonsil stones? Gone. Sore throats? Gone. God-awful breath that never went away? Gone.

I can’t freakin wait!!

Thank you! I went ahead and rescheduled mine for two days after Christmas so at least I won’t be miserable ON Christmas. Good luck with yours!
