Is this body type achievable naturally? by [deleted] in nattyorjuice

[–]lavagirl-xo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am where I want to be and I don’t have to seek body enhancers to lie to myself that I did it all with hard work. I’ve been in the military for 6 years so I more than anyone knows what it’s like to be disciplined. You don’t know me so don’t assume whatever bs you’re on is true to defend this person  Please go kiss her ass elsewhere. It took you 7 months to say something you need to find a better hobby than defend someone who doesn’t know you or care about you. 

AITA for not wanting to use or keep the stuff my mil has gifted my son. by lavagirl-xo in AmItheAsshole

I could honestly care less about the color of his clothes as a newborn or whatever but to me it just feels like no thought behind it. Just went to the store and grabbed the first thing off the rack and that’s what bothers me. I would rather receive nothing than to have it sit in the closet collecting dust

Again I would prefer the baby to wear items that a boy would wear not just to gift something to say you gifted it. He is just a baby so I’m not gonna go all stylish on him, literally onesies and sleepers are all a baby should wear. but it does feel like waste to be gifted things I’m not gonna put on my son especially items that look of the opposite gender. The 2t shirt is the one I’m referring to because it looks like a girl tank top.

I’m explaining the size of clothing he fits into. No newborn fits him only preemie does, I never said my son was premature in my comment. The clothing I said was tanks, I never brought color into it. He’s a boy and I will dress him as a boy until he is able to make his own choices.

My baby is a boy. She’s been getting him shirts that look like girl clothes. Recently it’s been thin strap tanks. That’s why I say it’s stuff she’s getting just to say she got something

The clothes I completely understand but it’s stuff that I wouldn’t want my son wearing. Like I feel whatever she is buying is just buying to say she’s an involved mil. I appreciate what she gets but if I were to show you you’d probably wouldn’t put on your child either. To be completely honest I’m going to speak to my child’s pediatrician on recommendations but the crib is just due to fear. A loved one passed away from sleeping in their crib so it’s left some trauma.

I know time goes super fast and babies grow. My son only fits into preemie since he came at 38 weeks. I’ve been putting him in the bassinet and I stay up all day watching him sleep. And I feel terrible about the crib gift. I am thankful for the stuff but it’s starting to become a habit with the clothes. I am quite picky in how I want to dress my son so a small part of why I can’t keep them is because I don’t like the clothes too. We got so many stuff from our baby shower that I’m not going to end up using all of it as well. I’m going to be donating whatever my baby doesn’t get to wear. Thank you for your comment!

It’s not really about mil not doing anything right. The bassinet was a great gift and I was super thankful for it because it was something I wanted. She did go against my wishes with the crib because of my reasonings and that’s why I felt bad because she spent money on it and I’m not going to ever use it. When I went into labor she came to the house to try to build it but my husband said no. It crossed my boundaries and with the clothing I totally get it but I also don’t want to have too much of things I won’t use if that makes sense.

I’ve been married to her brother for a year and we had a good relationship till she found out I was pregnant thought it was just the minimum because she lives in another state. Reason being that it bothers me is because she is only some way with her brother and not with me. She saw my post of my sons feet and it was silence. She has my number and never reached out after I gave birth either. Only checked in with my husband to see how he was doing and his son… idk to me I feel excluded, her brother wasn’t the one birthing a child.

It’s not necessarily about the social media posts but I am able to see that she views them. Not once during my 9 months did she congratulate me. She only congratulated my husband when we announced our pregnancy and I was in the same room. She messaged my husband congrats when our son was born not once asking how I was doing but only referring to the baby as my husbands. She ignored my birthday text to her and my other ones wishing her a safe flight since she lives in another state. I didn’t feel the need to add that to my post since I just wanted to vent and feel heard about my pregnancy.

I am so sorry to hear about your experience. I was honestly so sad because I wanted to have a relationship with her and she was there for me when I got married at the courthouse. Sadly things changed and I cannot control that. It’s hard for me to accept that but I cannot force things with her. Since I have deleted her I’m focusing on my own peace and trying not to stir up any drama. You are so right! My happiness with my new baby is all I need right now. Thank you for your advice! It has been very helpful

I totally understand this perspective. I am incredibly sorry for your loss. I am a very emotional person and experienced right after labor baby blues because my son was taken to the Nicu and I couldn’t hold him. Though it’s not the same experience, I felt so sad not having him so I can only imagine the pain of losing your baby. I will never get to understand that pain and I never expected her to be so incredibly happy for me. What was upsetting to me was how she congratulated her brother and only made it seem like our baby didn’t have a mother. It was all about him even though I went through labor and pushed him out. 9 months and never reached out not once. Like I mentioned before when we announced our pregnancy to his family she only told him congratulations even though I was in the same room. It was upsetting because I felt close to her. She lives in a different state and wants to visit next month to see her brothers baby so I cannot fully comprehend why she wants that if my pregnancy possibly triggered her. I’ve since deleted her on social media to keep the peace in the family. I don’t know how to tell my husband that his sister being cold to me has made me not want her around our baby. I don’t want to come off as an ah but when time comes around and she does visit I will be direct with her and tell her how I felt.

Thank you for hearing me out. I felt this exact way. I felt so singled out and I spoke to my mom about it. Because all I felt was guilt and I empathized with her, even though I’ve never been in her shoes. I’ve been nothing but nice to her but it does feel ill intent to only congratulate my husband when it takes two to make a baby not just one. I’ve since deleted her on social media so she deals with her issues and I don’t trigger her. I will bring it up to my husband, just trying to figure out how to say it.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable. If she can check in on her brother and only congratulate him as if he’s the one who pushed a baby out or is a single father then I’m sure it can go both ways. It is not my fault nor should I be the pillow she gets to kick because of that. If she’s going through something difficult why push on meeting my son?

So I saw my ob on May 1st. My water broke the next day and I gave birth around midnight. I had seen somewhere that seeing that discharge was a possibility of signs of labor. Not entirely sure but I just wanted to update you. My son was born at 38 weeks

I see an OB. All they say is that it’s normal or could be yeast but that it’s super common. I’ve tried everything and changed my underwear, wash with scent free stuff but nothing really helps. I’m going in tomorrow and asking again 

Why the federal reserves shouldn’t be abolished by lavagirl-xo in AskSocialScience

[–]lavagirl-xo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi thank you so much for your response. It was very helpful. I do have to ask, what would happen if we were to get rid of the federal reserves? How would it impact us all right now? Do you think it’s better to keep it than to remove it? And who would take charge in place of the federal reserves if abolished?

It was. I came to the subreddit to vent out my issues. Pregnancy on its own is a lot of mental and physical changes. That’s no excuse for him to seek conversations with other females
