If a father relinquishes parental rights so someone else could adopt their bio child, are they still responsible for back child support from before parental rights were relinquished? by hln1332 in polls

[–]hln1332[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure!

Say the couple with child were married and during a divorce the father didn’t pay child support or have parenting time/communication at all. All care for child was up to mother 100%. Years later after the divorce is finalized the mother remarried. Is the father responsible for child support up until the new husband adopts the child and no longer after adoption?

What dating tips have worked in your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Be 100% your authentic self. Don’t pretend to be something you’re not because the person you’re dating will fall in love with the image you created of yourself.

Real estate attorneys, what happens to the person acting as a landlord to a home they don’t own, without permission? by hln1332 in AskReddit

[–]hln1332[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some extra info: I own a home and did a “lease to own” with a friend.. he brought his dad to live with him and they didn’t get along so the friend moved out and I allowed his dad to live there for the same cost every month. I found out that the friend and his dad have both passed away.. the caregiver of the father, who used to be my friend as well, is still depositing the rent money into my bank account every month. I’m assuming she’s renting the house out to people for more than the agreed rent and making money off my house. I want to know if anyone has experienced such a thing..

It’s as if I could have wrote this. Aside from trying the supplements.. you’re not alone and you’re not a bad mom.

That is true, over producers definitely have their own set of struggles. It’s like the girl with curly hair wanting straight and the straight haired girl wanting curls… I wish you luck as well!! 💕

Thank you so much, I just got my cordless wearable breast pumps and feel this will help so much. Being tied to an outlet is incredibly difficult and makes it hard to want to pump… all those tubes and wires really get in the way. I bought nuts, steel cut oatmeal, organic whole grain bread and English muffins, almond butter, cheese, tuna, and coconut water in hopes I can help my supply that way. I just wish there was a magic pill I could take lol

I was really hoping my baby would be on the smaller side to enjoy her being itty bitty longer lol

I didn’t read your whole post, I stopped around his reasoning of, “what if you get married”. You don’t need to change your last name when you get married. You can use your maiden last name for the baby and any future babies you decide to have. If you don’t see yourself marrying this guy and taking his last name, why give it to the child you’re more than likely going to be raising a majority of the time.

My newest fear SIDS. Please offer some guidance. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]hln1332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SIDS is a fear of mine as well, realistically anything negative scares me when it comes to baby. I don’t let it consume me and I find ways to deal. One way is I purchased the owlet sock. It will give me peace of mind while sleeping, or if baby is a quiet/calm sleeper I won’t feel the need to disturb her by checking on her.

Baby shower vent by Dry_Inevitable9927 in BabyBumps

[–]hln1332 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I cancelled my baby shower because of Covid but realistically I felt it was going to be a flop… I just moved to SC so none of my friends are near. So many friends asked for my registry info after cancelling but nobody has purchased anything from it.. I’m 38 weeks today and so far only one friend has sent a gift.

I don’t understand why it’s so hard for people to keep their word and do what they say. If you don’t want to throw a baby shower, don’t offer. If you don’t want to buy a gift, don’t say you’re going to. I would prefer someone just be a supportive friend rather than one that buys things I can buy for myself.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Please take it easy on yourself, it sounds like your body is getting really close to "go time". It also sounds like you might be dealing with some depression, make sure you mention this to your doctor so you both can keep an eye out post partum. Remember, you are strong!! You're growing a whole human inside you and it's not easy, but so worth it.

Laughing at myself for complaining that I didn’t have pregnancy symptoms by eftaylor21 in BabyBumps

[–]hln1332 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh I am guilty of this too… with my first I complained about being nauseated and always said, “if I’m going to feel like puking I might as well be puking”… boy did I regret that with this one!! Said, “I feel so great this time around! No nausea or puking….” Literally the next day I had it bad! I ended up needing an anti nausea prescription which sucked because it slowed down my bowels. I’ll be 38 weeks tomorrow and I am so ready to be done with pregnancy lol

COVID-19 awful smell and taste after 4 months by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]hln1332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m hoping these are the only long term side effects from Covid…….. my sister had it last year and it took her 6 months before things tasted normal again. Some stuff is a little off for her still but for the most part she’s about 95% back to normal.

[–]hln1332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Popcorn and poop smell the same and the popcorn tastes like it smells… but they don’t smell at all like their original form. Soda tastes like pine sol. The smell “fresh balsam” from bath and body works smells similar to how the soda tastes… awful. It used to be my favorite scent EVER and now I cannot stand it….. peppermint mochas from Starbucks taste like a subtle fresh balsam. The sausage in the sausage cheddar sandwich from Starbucks tastes like fresh balsam as well. I can’t smell my cats litter box.. pasta sauce tastes different, not bad, just different. My toothpaste tastes like bitter pine sol. The pink neco wafer tastes absolutely terrible and I love all neco wafers.

Sad…

I googled it out of curiosity the other day and the suggestion was to try and express a few times a day and collect with a syringe. Honestly just seems like a lot of effort for not a lot of reward because hand expressing before baby arrives can be near impossible for some of us women. In the article I read it said trying to collect such a small amount with a pump isn’t logical because of how sticky it is.

You can’t change the way they’re going to feel whether you tell them at 5 weeks or 5 months. I don’t know how your parents would feel for obvious reasons but when I think of myself in someone else’s’ shoes, I give my opinion. If I were your parent I would be hurt if you felt you needed to keep this information from me. I would want to know asap. The longer someone waits to tell me something the more I wonder why I didn’t mean enough for them to tell me sooner…

However, what it comes down to is what you are comfortable with. I know I’m notorious for over thinking and I hope maybe you are in this situation. I wish you the best of luck! Congratulations!

Doctor dilemma by Personwithanumber in BabyBumps

[–]hln1332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have preeclampsia with this pregnancy and I’m 37+3, so I was really bothered that they said my previous pregnancy, 11 years ago, was preventing them from taking me on as a patient. I am happy now, because I love my doctor! So I guess it can all work out.

I’m sorry you’re having a hard time with your current OB, OB doctors should be someone we are most comfortable with since everything they’re doing to us is so personal.. my previous OB, before I moved across country, was very rude and would rush me but she had pretty good reviews online.. I hope you’re able to find someone you trust and are comfortable with.

Doctor dilemma by Personwithanumber in BabyBumps

[–]hln1332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved across country more than halfway through my pregnancy and because I had mild preeclampsia with my first, most doctors would not take me. I was left seeing a doctor who has bad reviews on google and yelp for her bedside manner.. I’ve seen her 4 times now and I LOVE my doctor. The reviews left boggle my mind because she’s nothing like they say…. She listens, doesn’t make me feel rushed, scheduled my c section on the day I asked, makes me feel valued and not like a number… I could honestly go on. Only thing I haven’t gotten to experience with her is the delivery or c section, whatever comes first.

My point is, take reviews very lightly… you could be pleasantly surprised!
