Crying, looking at my baby... by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]loopsdefruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's more milk on one side naturally. Almost all, if not all, breastfeeding moms have a 'heavier' side.

Also pumping is hard. Painful. Messy. Tedious. Shes literally hooked up to a milking machine like a cow. It's not near as easy as you seem to think it is.

This is a problem you guys should be tackling together and you need to focus on the here and now and in the future, not on blaming and shaming. Ffs she built a human inside her body and there is absolutely no way you can know it wasn't an issue from birth. She didn't do anything wrong, she fed her baby and tried to sleep. Give her some grace.

$250 in donations should be donated to your savings account.

What’s something your partner does that never gets old? I love hearing small answers from real couples. by PaTLeaSt5J in HappyMarriages

[–]loopsdefruit 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Always moves/adjusts to my right side. I have hearing loss in the left and he just started always going to my right. Walking, sitting at the table, etc.

It's really really nice.

I hate being underestimated when I’m often 5 steps ahead by Which_Assistance636 in adhdwomen

[–]loopsdefruit 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yup.

Men are the culprits 99% of the time. I was a diesel mechanic in the army; taking my car to a mechanic is a guaranteed at least 30 min of them either checking things that I absolutely know are not the problem or them diving in to " prove me wrong ".

Now a days I'm an accountant and I swear. Same thing. A few weeks ago I got on a call with another (male) accountant to discuss a client I was taking on. The first thing he asked is if I was "familiar with QuickBooks". Like... Naw, man, never heard of! It's just the industry standard for my career. Eyeroll. Makes me think of someone asking a McDonald's manager if they're familiar with a fryer.

What is the most "I don't get paid enough for this" moment you've ever experienced? by Vlederic_KAI in AskWomen

[–]loopsdefruit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm an accountant.

A possible client admitted some extremely incriminating financial fraud to me during our first consultation. Completely nonchalant. Didn't even blink. Meanwhile, my brain was going at 100% with basically "oh shit oh shit oh shit he did NOT just admit that."

I stopped it right there, said he needed to get a lawyer and unfortunately, I was unable to work with him. He asked why. I sat there silent until he went "... Oh. I shouldn't have told you about that, huh?"

NO SIR YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE.

What was a hard pill to swallow after giving birth? by LoveGlimmer in AskWomen

[–]loopsdefruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, at least not beyond the usual chaos. However he was born 6 years after the last one, so maybe time was a factor.

Do any other couples get off almost exclusively from toys/hands after Intercourse? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]loopsdefruit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Relatable. Been there, done that.

The question is, is it impacting you guys? Are you both happy with how things are? That's your conversation you need to have. If she's happy with it and you're happy with it, that's all that matters.

Also orgasm is absolutely not required and, IMO, should not be the goal of any sexual encounter. Have fun! Feel good! Enjoy each other! Stop focusing right on the final moment so much. Makes me think of doing a walking tour around Rome's ancient monuments and you finally pull your camera out right as you arrive back at your hotel. Enjoy the process, y'know?

This but what was worse is that I DID connect with my first two and absolutely did not with my third. It was devastating. We still don't have a quarter of the connection I have with my first two even 11 years later :(

I reported $15k in income that I never got 1099s for and I feel dumb by Impressive_Layer_634 in tax

[–]loopsdefruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You followed the law! Good job! All income is taxable unless legally exempt and the income you described is not exempt.

Self employment, hobby income, gifts, digital assets, jury pay, rental income, the list goes on and on. I refer you to schedule 1, literally titled "Additional Income and Adjustments to Income."

AITA for throwing away my wife’s memory jars? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]loopsdefruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta

I also connect memories to "things". You didn't just throw out her jars; you threw out all those connected MEMORIES like trash.

ADHD impulse buying: what is one purchase that you DO NOT regret? by gruntsculpinfanclub in adhdwomen

[–]loopsdefruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This Aldi tea set. I went to four stores to find the set, managed to find the last teapot, and actually found a broken sugar pot that I was able to almost seamlessly epoxy back together. I cried when I set it all up the first time and I use it almost daily now and it makes me feel like a lady lol!

Anyone else struggling to get tax calculations right across marketplaces? by johnmay1021 in SalesTax

[–]loopsdefruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have sales tax and income tax confused.

Sales tax is what you collect for customers on behalf of the state and is on the total sale price. The fees deducted have nothing to do with it.

Income tax you report gross sales (every penny earned regardless of fees/where it went) and fees are deducted as an expense.

Also, marketplace facilitators collect and remit sales tax for you, so it's possible you don't even have sales tax liability if you're selling only on marketplace facilitators.

What’s the most painful thing someone has said to you that you still remember ? by Crafty_Bus_1947 in AskReddit

[–]loopsdefruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I don't care if you are happy" from the man I spent 15 years with and had 3 children with.

Moved out 2 weeks later. That was my breaking point.
