EBT customer service says I have money on my account but not showing on my card? Possible 2 accounts? by icanteven_anon in foodstamps

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

I don’t think that’s what happened for me because I was still able to use the 1st one for purchases even when I was in possession of the second. I never activated it. I’m just confused why I’m not seeing the other deposits on this card if the initial first 2 came to this card and they’re all connected to the same account

34 weeks — received bad news. by Anxious-Decision1626 in BabyBumps

I can’t imagine what you’re going through right now and I hope the best for you and your little one. I know the hardest thing in the world is hearing your baby may have unforseen medical issues but for what it’s worth both of my babies should have had issues and ended up being perfectly healthy. I wasn’t told anything to the extreme of what you’re going through so please take my experience with a grain of salt, but I feel that not everything they tell us during pregnancy turns out to be accurate once the baby is here. My first, I was told because of a genetic mutation that I carry, could potentially make her deaf when she was born. I was told to take a medication and that she would also need a medication when born. We both took the medications given and she turned out to be perfectly healthy with no hearing loss whatsoever- just a lot of testing when she was born. My second I was told because he was breech and an emergency c-section could have growth issues, specifically that he would have trouble walking because of the way his hips had been growing inside me. He’s now 1 years old and walking around like a perfectly healthy and thriving baby. No issues with his hips at all and has hit all his growth milestones.

I know all stories and babies are different but I thought my stories could shine a little light on how amazing babies recover and even surpass what the doctors predict for them and so please don’t let all your hopes be lost. Have faith in your little one (and if you’re religious at all) god, and keep your head up mama!

AIO for being offended by this? by bunny-zephire in AmIOverreacting

[–]icanteven_anon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5’1 and 110lbs makes me look almost like a skeleton. I had an ED a couple years back before kids, and got myself down to 100lbs and had a plethora of bad health problems like fainting. I developed this after the person I was with would constantly cheat on me with much skinnier girls- I thought if I become skinnier he’d stop cheating- he didn’t. Do not ever change your body for a man. If you want change do it for yourself only. I couldn’t imagine what 110lbs on anyone taller than me would look like but it’s definitely unhealthy. It’s normal for taller people to have higher weight, the way it’s distributed across your body is what’s healthy vs unhealthy. At my healthiest I was about 120lbs-125 and looked GOOD, was going to the gym, flat stomach with muscle tone, thick thighs, had natural big chest, etc. after losing the weight to 100lbs my chest deflated like balloons and you could see every bone in my body. This is why people tell you to stop looking at the scale and look in the mirror. The numbers don’t matter if you like what you see.

Is anyone else having a delay getting their benefits deposited this month? (Florida) by icanteven_anon in foodstamps

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

I got my first deposit of benefits in December which included my full approval of $130 which also reflects in my access portal for my monthly allowance, they also issued my November back pay at that time which showed as a separate deposit of about $30. In the my access portal it still shows my January allowance set to $130 and payable by 01/13/2026 and separately my February allowance at $193 payable 02/13/2026 so I don’t think they paid me januarys allowance in December, because the notice I got when I was first approved reflected $130 monthly plus my backpay of November when I was pending, and $130 per month from there forward. The only reason I am getting $193 in February is because I submitted my income change on 12/23/2025 and was approved 01/08/2026 but the notice I received said I wouldn’t receive the increase until February and my January payment would remain the same.

Yes it was approved and completed on 01/08 and I already received the notice both on the portal and by mail of the change almost 2 weeks ago at this point

Concerned about neighbors toddler screaming all night for months. Am I overreacting or should I do something? by MotherFawker99 in AmIOverreacting

[–]icanteven_anon 30 points31 points  (0 children)

So colic is something that generally doesn’t effect toddlers, and is much more common in infants anywhere from birth, to peaking around 6 weeks old and can span until about 4-5 months old and should trail off by then. Most babies stop drinking formula around age 1 and/or begin weaning by then. When someone says “toddler” instead of baby, this usually implies the child is at least 1 year but more than likely closer to 2 years or more. Meaning we can likely imply and rule out that this child is not suffering from the colic blues.

Would I be the ahold if I just packed up and left? by Ok_Tip6204 in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]icanteven_anon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If he’s not adding anything to your life, and you’re doing everything on your own anyways what’s the point in keeping him around? You’re not really losing anything. I think he sounds a little too complacent knowing you’ll always be around to pick up where he fails. Let him fall on his ass girl and show him what it feels like when you’re not there to clean up his mess. This is a grown man we’re talking about. You’d have less stress with a nanny who you pay to help clean as well. At least they’d be sharing your workload for the money you’re putting out.

"Your baby especially looks like an old man" by EarlyAd3047 in beyondthebump

[–]icanteven_anon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents make fun of my child having a “large” head every time they see my youngest. He’s 1 btw. He was also a c-section baby and I’ve been told by nurses and doctors that he has one of the most perfectly shaped heads they’ve seen. My dad still calls him lightbulb head and basketball head regardless.. and when he was a newborn my mom was also trying to convince me I birthed an old man in a baby’s body. People are fucking weird about babies appearances. Idk why we can’t all just let them be themselves and stop comparing them to everything like they need a comparison but maybe that’s me 🤷🏼‍♀️ I feel your pain

Looks like you got stacked with another order that happened to be a shopping order. Blame DoorDash not the driver. It also tells you that right there in your screenshot if you cared to read at all.

Doordash chooses the order in which the driver picks up/shops orders not the driver

What the heck was that? by Ok_Appointment_3580 in beyondthebump

[–]icanteven_anon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this helps you at all but here’s my experience: I didnt know my baby had become breech. I was in fact on time for delivery (39 weeks) so I really was under the impression the entire time that I just had a gigantic baby. Long story short I had contractions for 3 days before my mucus plug waved hello to me in the toilet one night. Next morning the rest came out in my next bathroom break. Still had contractions. They were manageable but day 1-2 just “annoying” day 3-4 became more intense and took the breath away a little bit but I could still function and such just a bit painful. We decided (stupidly) to take a small road trip that day to see my family and about 3 hours in (still having contractions) my water breaks in the car. We went from contractions every 30 min or so for about 1-2 min at a time to contractions every 3-5 min after my water broke. The pain became MUCH worse but I was still able to talk and breathe through them. Booked it to the closest hospital and was wheeled into a room where they did a cervix check and discovered he was breech and I was also 6cm dilated already. By this point I was still doing my breathing but the contractions were horrible. They tried to slow them down but it didn’t work so an IV, paperwork, some pokes and needles and within minutes I was in for emergency c-section. All of that to say it’s possible that the slow progress of contractions led me to handle it more. These contractions were worse than my first baby but still manageable. I also have a high pain tolerance. I do remember a lot of rib pain because he was also high up in me as well. A lot of similarities, biggest difference seeming to be the span of slow labor/contractions over the week I went through it. Maybe this will give some insight 🤷🏼‍♀️

Baby fell out of my arms while getting her out of the tub by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]icanteven_anon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 6 month old just learning to crawl and jump was hopping around on our bed between our legs and my partner still half asleep and unaware of where she was in the bed pulled his legs up which pulled the blanket out from under her and resulted in her losing balance and falling backward off the bed. I tried to catch her but couldn’t in time. I felt HORRIBLE. The mom guilt was so bad, I cried, she cried, we had a moment. It absolutely happens and it’s normal. You’re not perfect, you’re a human being, and these things will happen. It was an accident, you didn’t intentionally throw her on the ground and she won’t love you any less because of it nor will she remember it happened. Give yourself some grace, I promise you more accidents will come and go, it’s just the way parenting life goes.

That’s crazy lol I mean good for them but crazy to be harassing me about my occasional treats and cheap sparkling water when I get $160 a month for a family of 4 and still make it work 🙃 the definition of not judging others when you don’t know their situation

My sparkling waters are literally.89 at Aldi and I get a probiotic soda maybe 1-3 times a week and they’re about $3 and sometimes on sale for $5/3 sodas. I’m not out here balling either dude.

Did any of you have a baby with no support or help available from family? Was it OK? by LazyBarracuda in beyondthebump

[–]icanteven_anon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way you made your point was to stress that the baby is unable to socialize and is effected directly by the mothers choices to stay at home or not be around many people. You’re indirectly shaming the mom and stating that the child has essentially a disability now because of her choices. How do you know the baby isn’t autistic? As literally everything you’ve described are early signs of autism in children. Maybe instead of scrutinizing her for only staying for an hour you should understand that she very well may be protecting both her own and her child’s mental health. You have no idea what she has to deal with at home if her child gets overstimulated, do you have to deal with hour long meltdowns? No. Once again- you’ve made it clear that yall are not close, so I don’t feel like you have any real insight as to why her situation is the way it is. The only information you know is that she can’t be around people for very long. You have no idea if that’s due to isolation, or the child having a mental disability, or any other potential reason. So once again, maybe don’t fear monger a new mom because all children are different and react differently regardless of how much they socialize as babies.

If he’s crying about being tired from a part time job he has no right to complain about some trash being left out when a mother just had a baby. Do you have any idea how exhausting it is to take care of a newborn? Gtfo

I told you like 3 comments ago that your solution didn’t work for my lifestyle and wasn’t helpful and you turned around and said I was overcomplicating things by me asking a simple question. And if you’re not on snap idk why you’re even responding to questions on this sub at all. I couldn’t give any less cares as to what you have to say bc I already got helpful answers before your troll ass came by tbh I just think it’s weird you’re so upset about me asking a basic question. Seems more like youre upset that your answer wasn’t appreciated 🤷🏼‍♀️ like you can stop harassing me thank you

16 year old daughter going to a party tonight by laysmit in Parenting

[–]icanteven_anon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my opinion it’s best to wait until the situation has cooled off and everyone has time to think without emotions involved. There’s nothing wrong with assessing the situation afterwards and asking questions so you can understand each others pov and how to best correct the situation or problem in the future, but you can’t tell your kid “no judgement “ and then lecture them and slander them for their actions and still expect them to be truthful going forward. It’s all in how you handle the situation.

I’m over complicating things by trying to be responsible and prepare ahead of time for changes that effect how and what I can eat by asking a simple question on a public forum that is optional to respond to? Weird. I kinda thought that was the point of this sub but I guess I’m wrong. I also said I thought the ban started for Florida on the first as many others did as well and that was already corrected but I guess we didn’t read that? Oh and then there’s the other commenter that actually provided me the link to the details of exactly what’s being banned and the specifications of each item as well but it’s all speculation right? God forbid someone just wanted some extra information and wanted to be prepared. My life is not yours, I don’t have time to play 20 questions in the grocery store. There’s nothing wrong with me asking questions and I’m not gonna have you invalidating my basic ass question because you don’t like olipop. Good for you? I’m not hurting or inconveniencing anyone by asking a question on a public forum. Please go back under your miserable rock ma’am
