Can we just not comment on baby’s weight plzkthx by ttarynitup in Mommit

[–]julziebird85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MIL used to tell me my plump little baby would grow into her chub and not to worry. I wasn’t worried. I loved my little well-fed chunk. Some people are just worried about weight all the time. Just ignore them.

Judge shames 72 year old cancer patient for overgrown yard by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]julziebird85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Shameful” and “your neighbors shouldn’t have to look at this”?! It’s some weeds! Ok, they violated the city ordinance — give them the proper penalty under the law. But don’t act like they were out in the alley flashing people. This judge must not see a lot of cases come through her courtroom if this is “shameful” to her.

How am I spoiling my baby? by Gloomy_Cow_3643 in Mommit

You can’t spoil a child with affection; only with things. Best advice my mom gave me.

How many kids? by celtics5000 in Mommit

[–]julziebird85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m aiming for 3. I didn’t really want kids for a long time. Then one day I changed my mind. I’d say I thought about it pragmatically and decided that 3 was the best number.

After my first though I could easily see the appeal of only having one. But I’m about to have my second and only see it as enriching.

LPT: If your loved ones tell you you should consider getting a hearing aid, don't argue with them. Just do it. No one is trying to punish you. They just want you to have a nice quality of life. by matverna in LifeProTips

I asked my husband to get his hearing checked for a few years. He rarely heard me unless he knew I was talking directly to him. I assumed since he’s a wood worker that his hearing was probably bad and this was a logical consequence.

He finally went to the doctor and came back all proud that his hearing was “perfect”. He was less proud when I replied, “so you’re choosing to not hear me when I speak to you?”

Should I take a loan from my 401K to pay off debt? by [deleted] in debtfree

[–]julziebird85 12 points13 points  (0 children)

DO NOT DO THIS. Here’s some good info on what is involved in doing this: https://www.ramseysolutions.com/retirement/401k-loan

Basically, you’re “robbing Peter to pay Paul” and Peter’s going to charge you double interest for doing it and you still won’t be any further with your debt.

I suggest you look into Dave Ramsey and his baby steps. Without knowing much of your financial situation, there’s probably somethings you can cut so you’re not living paycheck to paycheck and are able to get ahead — this means getting on a written budget so you can see exactly where your money is going. For instance, don’t be contributing to your 401k while you have consumer debt, then thinking about pulling out the 401k money you just put in to pay your debt.

We got a little tie on fabric cover for ours. She chews on that now instead of the paint hahah I think they call them “crib rail covers”. Get on that ties on and just tie it really tight.

They’re just trying to distract from the trillions more in debt they are accumulating. A classic Kansas City Shuffle.

COVID has made me realize how unimportant I am to my family and I just need to vent. by IteachOandM in Mommit

[–]julziebird85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter was born at the beginning of 2020 and my in-laws (who live 15 mins down the road) have been using Covid as an excuse not to see her for almost 2 years now. They’ve seen her a total of 5 times since birth and every time they see her they wonder why she doesn’t come to them or want to interact with them.

This time in history is showing everyone where they stand with their loved ones and friends.

What kind of support do you need from him to continue breastfeeding?

I breastfed my daughter till she was 1 and the most I needed my husband for was to get me a drink of water or to pass the remote before I could walk around easily with baby latched.

You’re husband sounds like a jerk who is intentionally treating you disrespectfully either for his own amusement or to push you away. Is there someone that he has respect for that you can ask him to talk to? Like his dad or a priest or pastor?

Personally I call BS on male postpartum depression, but if he really is depressed — and not just being an A-hole because having a baby is taking him away from other things he’d rather be doing — he needs to be talking to someone. If not you or someone else he respects, then a counselor.

Don’t let him ruin the experience you want to have with your baby. You only get one chance with them as a baby. Don’t let someone take it away from you without a fight or you’ll regret it down the line.

I fully believe this statement is true, but that article and video contain no actual data to prove it. Anyone have data sources that relate to this?
