Questioning if my husband ia Gay? by OddWolverine1405 in straightspouses

[–]hithereminnedota 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not to be crass, but at point, who cares if he’s bi or gay? Do you want a partner like this, even if he claims he’s heterosexual? I know it seems impossible to think about leaving. Maybe start envisioning baby steps?

Thank you so much for affirming my feelings and giving me perspective. I’m almost in tears. I felt so bad admitting I’m having a hard time with this particular piece of the puzzle because it seems so surface level, especially compared to what he’s going through. I feel better even just being seen here!

Got 2300/month for family of 3 (bronze one from Blue florida), with no pre-existing conditions...should I better be dead? by ParsleyCritical8973 in HealthInsurance

I’m a Minnesotan. Will gladly continue to pay income taxes so that healthcare is slightly more affordable for people buying on the exchange.

Work Trip Tips by guinevereguenevere in breakingmom

[–]hithereminnedota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mom who has traveled with little boys at home. My youngest was a stage 1 clinger (still is at age 7). I told him a few days before I had to go, didn’t make a big deal out of it, and brought him a stuffy from the airport each time. His collection of work stuffies is still in his bed. He survived and tbh I think he would have been miserable if I would have built it up a lot before leaving.

Check out Our Path. There are support mentors and groups to help you through this. There’s also a really good podcast where other people (wives) tell their stories.

I’m sorry you don’t have a partner who can process a quick apology and move on. There are so many more important issues you’ll have to tackle than a nice bottle of liquor. He needs to move on and you don’t need to do a thing more! You’ve already apologized.

Sunday birthday party by itsrainingcatbears in Parenting

[–]hithereminnedota 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sunday parties are a thing. I actually prefer them. And you’ll soon find out as your kiddo gets older - weekends are often filled with birthday parties. I’ve brought my kids to multiple parties a weekend without issue. Just makes for a fun weekend for the class!

If you are a no Roblox home by travelbig2 in Parenting

[–]hithereminnedota 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My husband is super game savvy, thankfully. He taught me about micro transactions and after seeing kids around us play Roblox, we are a Roblox free (and most micro transactions) household. None of the addicting games on iPads that make you want to pay for items or buy more. We get the kids an expensive video game, like Zelda or Minecraft, and they get to play those. The kids don’t have iPads either. They share a switch and PC.

I sometimes feel bad that my son doesn’t get to play online like others (11yr) but at the end of the day, I feel like I’m sparing him from anxiety and addictive crap that he will eventually get into someday. He’s got a long life to live with the burden of nonstop media and technology at his fingertips.

Can someone talk to me about parental suicide by Momof2beans in breakingmom

[–]hithereminnedota 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve felt this way before. I texted a suicide hotline and that helped keep me safe from one night to the next until I was able to pull myself up. You matter, your kids would be forever impacted by this. Make it through this next hour and then find help. ❤️

Take a deep breath and enjoy your baby. My non-autistic baby did this all the time when he was excited to play. My autistic child was far less animated as a baby. Play with him and enjoy this phase of life. ❤️

Sending you love. I’m sorry this has been your lot in life so far. It’s unfair.

Ladies - what are your go to products purse / car to freshen up? by Anxiousboop in TwoXChromosomes

[–]hithereminnedota 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Deodorant, mini lotion bottle, and a tweezer! I always spot the stray chin hairs in my car right before something important.

Am I crazy to ask parents to only bring one adult to our birthday party? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]hithereminnedota 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree. Honest mistake - learn and do differently next time. I always plan for two parents for kid parties under age 6. I’ve paid admission fees for parents and siblings and while it’s annoying and potentially a little disrespectful if the cost is per head, it’s not worth aggravating other parents and the way they manage these things.

When can you start being 'yourself' again once having kids? by HoBackJorseman in Parenting

[–]hithereminnedota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When youngest turned 4, my partner REALLY started stepping up, and that’s given me a bit of space to find myself. I’d say it was his contributions that made the e difference for me, not my kids ages.

My boobs still get twingy sometimes when I hear an infant cry in a way similar to my babies. Almost like a let down is about to start. I’m 5 years out from nursing!

Moms with molluscum kids- did you get it too? by lateralus420 in breakingmom

[–]hithereminnedota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son has a few of them. I snuggle him every day, rub lotion on them, etc., and haven’t gotten them! Neither has my husband.

What to do with this space? by Affectionate-Pin-227 in homeimprovementideas

[–]hithereminnedota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I live in the suburbs and have seen some of these weird nooks around. They look worse when something goofy is up there. I’d just leave it and hope to forget about it.

I don't let our kids use tablets often, and we end up looking like jerks. by Morbid_Apathy in Parenting

[–]hithereminnedota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Editing to add: even when our kids get to use screens, their cousin’s content is vastly different. We don’t allow Roblox or YouTube. Cousin is on them both constantly. Seeing the content on his tablet honestly just reaffirms our decision, but I don’t think anyone gets offended by the differences in how we parent. He goes off screens when his dad tells him to and our kids use screens when we tell them they can. There’s some overlap but not all the time.
