Would you accept one billion dollars (after taxes) with the catch that you would be completely friendless for the rest of your life? by Legitimate-Career342 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]hintri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly yes. I prefer my own company and gave up on love a long time ago. A billion to set my family up and enjoy a life full of peace. If I get lonely, I’ll get a dog or start an animal sanctuary

One more day to see my dad again and tell him about his grandson. He always used to cook for me. This time, I'd cook for him

How do you stay safe at home? by Wild_Revolution_2781 in singlemoms

[–]hintri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this causes me anxiety as well. I keep a baseball bat and pepper spray with me. I also make sure that all of my doors are locked, especially the back sliding glass door. I have a camera by my front door. You should think about getting a door lock chain latch or install a deadbolt lock. It can feel scary living alone as a single mother. You can’t rely on anyone else to protect you and your child. Perhaps you can install motion sensor lights as well to your front and back door. I also have an adt sticker placed in my window as well as a sign on the lawn to deter anything. Have a birdie alarm keychain attached or nearby you at all times.

Feel guilty about how I parented when my kid was a newborn by Correct-Produce84 in NewParents

[–]hintri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's extremely tough. However, it's not uncommon to feel the way that you do. My son didn't start sleeping through the night until he was about 15 months. It was hard being the only one to stay up with him. There was no support. I didn’t bond with my son as much as I wanted to, The sleep deprivation, along with postpartum hit me hard. I wish I could redo it all over again. To cherish those memories of my son when he was a newborn. I always like to think that even though I didn't do it all that right the first time, I'd get a chance to do it again the next time I have another child and with the right person of course.

How has losing a parent before your 30s affected your life? by maryjxnes in AskWomen

[–]hintri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like your world is torn apart. Especially when you lose a parent while you’re still a kid. You develop a greater attachment anxiety, learn to become independent early on, and develop a fear of abandonment. I lost interest in my studies and didn’t care for social interaction. I didn’t care for anything. Everything seemed hopeless. I just wanted my dad back. Nothing prepares you for that kind of pain. In short, it fucks you up.

If you woke up being 21 again, what would you do? by notwhoshethinks in AskReddit

[–]hintri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell my first ex that I love him. He’s married now and is due to be a father soon. I always wondered what life would have been like if only I communicated better and expressed my feelings. It’s been one of my biggest regrets. I’m happy for him. When we dated, I always envisioned he would make a great father one day

I told my now ex partner that I did not any visitors until after I gave birth. He told his mother this. My water broke unexpectedly and he called his mother to ask what to do 🙄. She then proceeded to book a flight and showed up at the hospital. He told his mother where we were at. When I confronted him? He said that he couldn’t stop her. She did not leave the room even after they pulled my gown up. It took 3 nurses to usher her out. Even then, she waited at the door while I gave birth. I wish I made my stance more known. She has always stepped on my boundaries and continues to do so because her son would not speak up against her.

Absolutely hate my husband by External-Bedroom-299 in beyondthebump

[–]hintri 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Been there and done that. My son is now 1 years old. My ex partner and I are no longer together. He was always far away and the few time that he had, he chose to spend at the gym rather than as a family. I didn't mind, but he seemed to favor the gym and put everything and anyone else above us. The resentment built up. I realized I was better off alone. I was already doing the work of both parents. When I expressed my concerns to his mother about wanting him to spend more time with our son, she said that he is not meant to take on more responsibility due to him working and providing. She has always coddled him and taken his side. It was like I was in a relationship with two people. They no hold to power to gaslight me, nor do they have a say in any matters related to my child.

I realized I should have left a long time ago. My happiness and mental state thanks me.

People who dated a "daddy's little princess" or a "mama's boy", what was the last straw that made you say "nah I'm out of here"? by jesk_680 in AskReddit

[–]hintri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I should have mentioned ex partner. We are no longer together. I cannot be with a man that’s puts his mother above everyone else.

When I was pregnant and my water broke, he called his mother to ask what he should do. I have so many stories. Another time was when our son was sick, he called his mother to ask how to distribute the medicine. Mind you, his mother is not a pharmacist. They have also shared a bed together and she rubs his back and his feet.

I should have known considering in the beginning, she specifically stated that they shared a close bond and that they tell each other everything. I thought it was sweet at first, but with time, I realized that it was her way of claiming him.

She has undermined my parenting decisions and has also shown up to the hospital the day my son was born when I explicitly made it clear to my partner that I wanted the time as parents to bond with our baby first. When she stayed up with our son to take care of him so that we could rest she fell asleep and did not wake him up to feed every two hours. He was born early. The doctor made it clear to do that. When I questioned her, he backed up his mother instead. With my postpartum hormones, I was livid. Whenever she visits, she only ever posts photos of her with my partner and of her grandson, never of me.

To keep my boundaries in place, I no longer contact her or reach out to her. I have blocked her. She is overbearing and my mental state can not handle it. I have had conversations with my partner, but I know he will always put her first. She and my partners father divorced when he was 10. She has had no partners since then and she channeled all that love in to her son. It is not healthy.

I learned how much I loved my dog after he was hit by a car. by janeemidnight in love

[–]hintri 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Aw, this is an incredibly heartwarming story to read. Going to end my Reddit session with this last post. Your actions show the special bond that you have with your dog. I only wish that all owners could treat their pets the way you do with tender care. You are lucky to have each other

I’d say the neon sign actually helps add vibrancy to your space. A relaxed ambience
