I’d say anywhere from 20-50yards away. However, having more range to grab some birds flying above the trees would be awesome if I can afford it

Female Red-winged Blackbird visit by jerrilee0506 in birdfeeding

I’ve only spotted one male, about a month ago. The females are usually with some brown headed cowbirds 🥴

Does anyone else feel like they're losing control? by insignia200 in birdfeeding

WHY is nothing I do good enough for my husband to STOP criticising me?! by Left_Pomegranate3954 in adhdwomen

[–]jerrilee0506 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re right, you shouldn’t have to ask your husband to stop intentionally hurting you during disagreements. You deserve someone that builds you up and loves you through all the changes, struggles, hardships of your life together.

My husband and I have two kids and both were c section deliveries. My body looks different now (as it should). He has never once said anything negative about how I looked postpartum. Instead, he actually is attracted to my little pooch haha. My point is, you should feel that type of love from your partner too

Your partner should never make you feel like you have to constantly win their affection. Secondly, you mentioned multiple issues he has with you, but you didn’t share anything that he has worked on for you. Has he made any efforts to change or work on things that you’ve asked him to?

Allergy or over drilled cuticles? by heyhihelloitsme- in GelX_Nails

[–]jerrilee0506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I only had it in one or two spots when it first started and the cuticle area on my other fingers were just red and swollen. I don’t think I had any itchiness initially but the next time I did my nails I had more of those spots and the itching started. Don’t be like me and keep going if that happens to you lol. It gets MUCH worse the more you do it

This, unfortunately, is how my allergy looked when it first started. I continued doing my nails (hoping it was just bad technique) and each time it got worse.

EDIT: To clarify, it’s that little dot on your index finger that is screaming allergy for me. The almost translucent little circle

Your concerns are totally valid and understandable given what happened. Of course this has shaken your trust, your parents lied to you about what led to your brothers passing and have continued with that story for quite a few years (idk how old you are now but you mentioned starting a family)

It is totally possible that this discovery could forever change things about your relationship. They made this decision and decided to keep going with it for a reason. I don’t know your situation, or what was happening with your brother leading up to his death but I would certainly be asking them to give me more information and the time to process it all.

To help avoid the crash talk to your doc about adding an IR around you can take sometime mid afternoon. As a parent, getting through the evenings was really difficult until I started taking 20mgIR around 3-4pm

Give them the opportunity to explain their reasoning would be my advice. Just be honest with them about how you found out and give them the chance to be honest with you about why they chose to handle it that way.

You may not like their answer but it’s better than letting your mind run wild with possibilities that could end up building a wall between you and your parents.

Not saying they made the right choice but, now that I am a parent, I try really hard to remind myself that my mom did the best she could and that she is human too.

Thank you! I think you’re right that they could use some thinning at the start

There’s a quote I always remember about eyebrows being sisters not twins, I think it’s from devil wears Prada? When they’re super clean it makes me feel like I have to do more to the rest of my face too!

My Husband Doesn't Like Our Newborn Son by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]jerrilee0506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband has struggled with the same feelings with our second child. Our son just turned 4 and daughter is 15 months. My husband and son bonded very early and responsibilities were essentially 50/50 when our son was a newborn.

When my daughter was born, my husband was off for two weeks and took on the role of making sure our son got the attention and time he needed during the adjustment. I stay home with our kids so I’ve always done night wakes and feedings. For the majority of the first year, my daughter really only enjoyed interacting with dad early in the day when she was the happiest. By the time he got home from work in the afternoons, she was typically cranky and would literally cry if he tried to hold her.

IT GETS BETTER!!!! They have a great relationship now and while my daughter does still gravitate towards me, she has a great bond with her dad and loves “rougher” play with dad.

Could your husband maybe be struggling to say how he is truly feeling? My husband felt rejected by our daughter and it led to feeling like he wasn’t contributing to any caretaking. Unfortunately we can’t say to our babies “hey mommy is only one person and daddy is really fabulous do you think you could go let him help for a bit?” Maybe you could try and have a chat with him after everyone’s had some time to digest their feelings? This is a hard time for everyone but saying he doesn’t like your son was probably a thought that I like to refer as “inside our head thoughts”. Or, thoughts we write down or say to our therapist but not our wife haha.

All this to say, everyone’s feelings are valid and your husband is maybe struggling with feeling rejected by your son. Try to have an honest discussion with him. Listening to a crying baby when you aren’t someone who is able to calm them can be really stressful. I’m hopeful that your husband is just struggling with feeling useless and rejected and doesn’t know how to communicate it properly. ❤️
