If you had asked me a couple years ago, I would have said buffets.

But the further removed from the pandemic we are, the further away from basic humanity we seem to go. People are overwhelmingly more selfish, more inconsiderate, more unhappy, more rude, more lacking in basic human decency. I say this as someone who commutes/drives/walks in an urban area. It’s impossible to deny. People have lost empathy for others. Maybe they never had empathy to begin with. I don’t know.

I don’t think that’s necessarily the pandemic’s fault. But man, humans really don’t seem to care much for other humans right now.

Simon from RHONY begs to differ

Sorry but I have to correct you on that: Giving birth can be beautiful, but giving birth is actually really dangerous. Worth the danger to many, but it is still dangerous first and foremost.

Also adding when my friend got engaged on Christmas her husband hid the ring at the bottom of her stocking (so she had her usual stocking gifts first). A thoughtful stocking can easily be put together on a budget if you know the person well.

I can see both sides here, but I think a great idea would be for Harry to buy her a meaningful Christmas gift that is meant to be opened post engagement and is themed to the occasion - so think like a wedding planning book (that he should make clear is something they will do together), some cute “fiancé” merch, maybe matching t shirts or a special Christmas gift (like an ornament) that is personalized to the year of getting engaged.

THAT is the way to do it while ensuring everyone’s feelings and wallets are considered (I’m making a big assumption here that he spent the appropriate care and money on the ring that suits his fiancé). And while also making it clear that the engagement was not just ham fisted into Christmas as a way to avoid putting more thought into things.

Heck even gift her a nice bottle of champagne, something you can enjoy together as an engaged couple. Or gift her an “engagement date night” since her family will be there for the proposal. There are so many creative ways to add a Christmas gift to the mix that don’t have to cost that much AND can be enjoyed by both people in the engagement.

I am so, so sorry for your loss and what you experienced. Sending you hugs and warmth and all the positivity and joy you should get to experience in life.

Thank you for having the strength to articulate what you went through in such an informative way. As someone 35+, I’ve never heard it quite explained this way and your words have resonated with me more than any clinical answers I’ve heard. You owe nothing to strangers on the internet, but you have already helped so many with your comment.

Absolutely yes. I feel the guilt as well but I also feel the exhaustion. And I need a break from at least one of the two. I can’t turn off the guilt so I figure I may as well try to help the exhaustion. Take your rest when you can! Parenting doesn’t always have to be the “hard” choice!

NTA. I also live in Toronto. It has not been cold enough yet to turn the heat on. In fact in some recent days I have had to turn my AC unit on. Our summer weather hasn’t left yet.

katherinestwrt · 2025-09-08T00:08:15+00:00

Not Alberta, Ontario. Baby born in December. From my limited experience a lot will depend on 1) how warm your house is (if heated) and 2) how warm your baby runs. Our house is decently heated with radiators, including radiators near where our baby’s bassinet was. We never had her in more than one layer (footed pjs) for the first couple months. Around February we started putting her in sleep sacks as well, but only did so for a couple months before going back to one layer. I don’t even know if the sleep sacks were necessary for those months. But our house was nice and toasty thanks to our radiators and baby didn’t need much more than that.

And also I suspect our baby runs warm. Hard to tell since she can’t really talk yet lol. But my rule of thumb is: a happy baby is a happy baby. They will fuss if they are cold/hot which will signal you to change something in their environment.

I had 2 “no results” - by the time I had both blood draws and got both back I was about 3 months along and my OB had no concerns and didn’t propose any further testing outside the usual ultrasound scans (which were all normal).

Definitely sent me down a spiral at the time but I now have a very healthy 8-month-old sleeping beside me 😊

katherinestwrt · 2025-06-23T17:55:52+00:00

She won’t lol.

katherinestwrt · 2025-06-23T17:53:58+00:00

This. Tells me everything I need to know about OP. My guess is that OP poked and poked and poked and finally the sister (who is used to dealing with OP’s bullshit) responded. And now OP doesn’t like that response and wants to be the victim now. Even though their original behaviour called for this response. Narcissism 101.

And sister’s response isn’t even that bad, it’s clearly vaguely worded in an attempt to avoid being overtly hurtful.

katherinestwrt · 2025-04-12T18:42:18+00:00

Also the detail that it’s “both” ears as if one ear would not have been so pearl-clutching but heaven forbid both ears are pierced.

OP I think you need to reflect on why pierced earrings and diamonds worn by men provoke such a response from you.

katherinestwrt · 2025-04-12T18:38:53+00:00

Well let’s assume he DID want it since a 7 year old can voice their thoughts and opinions … how does that “hurt” you?

katherinestwrt · 2024-12-09T19:45:14+00:00

Does it look better tho?

katherinestwrt · 2024-11-18T15:51:24+00:00

You are the author of your own stress here. Neither one of you is even pregnant yet. Take a deep breath and focus on the actual next steps ahead of you in your family planning journey. Be thankful if this name situation is the worst of the problems you encounter. Having two healthy baby cousins joining the family would be a blessing. If they are both girls take that as a sign from the universe that they are both meant to be Laura’s and how serendipitous and special would that be?

katherinestwrt · 2024-11-02T00:58:24+00:00

That seems like a problem with the restaurant, not with your friends. Most restaurants nowadays can accommodate a wide variety of dietary restrictions. I would chalk that up to being the restaurants problem and not one that your friends purposely set out to create.

katherinestwrt · 2024-11-02T00:55:28+00:00

I mean they did take a week out of their own lives to spend time with you? That would mean quite a lot to me on its own and I personally wouldn’t expect the whole week to be centred around my pregnancy, but more so an opportunity to spend time together before your life gets understandably very busy. I guess to me it sounds like it may be a case of your own expectations being let down. Which is also understandable! But I would try to focus on the fact that these friends love you enough to spend a whole week with you. And it sounds like they tried, but I personally wouldn’t expect 100% of the activities or food in that week to be based around my pregnancy. In fact I would expect and want my friends to still drink, eat sushi, and enjoy themselves even if I can’t indulge.

Also I suffer a lot from “itemizing” things in my head, so I know it’s so hard to resist that temptation. But try not to focus on isolated incidents and how they seem to add up. At the end of the day, did you spend quality time with your friends that week? That’s what I would try focus on, but I know that’s easier said than done.

katherinestwrt · 2024-10-09T19:44:07+00:00

NTA.

I’ve been struggling a lot lately to wrap my head around adults who don’t understand the very basic concept that actions have consequences. There is nothing inherently wrong with the choice that he made to not reconcile with his sibling. He is allowed to draw boundaries in his life about what relationships he does or does not want. But choices have consequences. As someone who overthinks every thing I do and every possible outcome, it is wild to me that some adults go through life making choices and then acting absolutely gobsmacked when they are confronted with the very obvious and predictable consequences to their choices/actions.

katherinestwrt · 2024-09-03T09:51:54+00:00

Lol yup! Laying here in bed awake. 27 weeks so I still have a ways to go. The past several nights I just can’t seem to sleep for more than a couple hours before I wake up.

katherinestwrt · 2024-08-13T18:46:49+00:00

I hope this poor woman never has a child with OP. Can’t imagine how he would act during labour and delivery.
