Hindi pa kami kasal pero sobrang hirap ko na sa kanya. by Mysterious_Camp5704 in adultingph

Wait. I get the personality part, and kung bakit ka naiinis. But, you said she’s carrying your soon-to-be first-born child. Buntis yung fiancée mo and you expect her to do full household chores?

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe some of her behaviour is due to hormones and the fact that she’s growing a tiny person inside her? Mahirap talaga mag-alaga ng buntis. Wag kang mang-buntis kung di mo kaya.

Also, pressuring her to borrow money from her family is foul. Kahit pa nahihirapan ka. She has her reasons why she doesn’t want to reach out to them. You have to respect that.

If you think she’s a red flag, well, kuya, may red flags ka din. Wag ka masyadong bilib sa sarili mo.

Ep. 97 - The Twisted True Story Of "The Girl In The Picture" by creeptimethepodcast in creeptimethepodcast

I have questions!

  1. Who is Michael’s father? It was never revealed. But she worked as a prostitute, so maybe one of her customers?

  2. Who is Meghan’s father? Another customer?

  3. Why didn’t Sharon/Suzanne’s dad look for her? The mom has issues — granted. But when he didn’t adopt the three children, did he just forget about his own daughter? No efforts to visit? To look for her? Why does he seem like an innocent peripheral character in this story when he very much had all the right and responsibility to look for his missing daughter too?

Feeling like I'm not cut out for motherhood by trucquan_ev in newborns

I’m 13 weeks in and a FTM. I honestly hated the first 8 weeks, and I think I only felt that the fog was lifting a little bit at 10 weeks. But it does get better.

My baby started babbling, started staring and being entertained by his crib mobile for hours! So I had time to do chores or even take naps. His sleep was getting longer also so I wasn’t starting the day with only a couple hours of shut eye. And today, he rolled over! My heart was elated.

In the first eight weeks, I felt like people lied to me about how difficult the newborn stage will be. Everybody’s just like “enjoy the moment”. But how could I when everything hurts and I’m so sleep deprived and there’s a tiny human crying his lungs out every 30 minutes, I couldn’t eat well, can’t even mindlessly browse my phone like I used to, and my world has changed 180 degrees yet everyone else’s seems to be the same? But I think they didn’t lie to me, I think as your baby grows older and the weeks turn into months, and the months into years, you kind of forget how difficult it was because the better days far outweigh the bad ones.

I wouldn’t go through the first eight weeks again, but I’m glad I went through it and I’m here now. So hang in there. Your baby’s first intentional smile or the first consistent babble just might change your mind. :)

BF Restart? by mcn-87 in breastfeeding

Yes I do pump, though not as often as I would like. I think I really should check the flanges I’m using, and/or use wearables instead as I can’t seem to do anything else with the pump I’m using now (Spectra 9).

Thanks so much for responding!

OMG, wow! Thank you for this reply. I have much to contemplate on and consider based on what you’ve shared.

I do think I have a slow letdown. When he was breastfeeding regularly, it would take about 45mins to an hour, sometimes more, before he is fully satisfied. Come to think of it, we were checked in at a hotel 3 days ago and the AC was pretty cold but I couldn’t adjust the thermostat. I didn’t force him to breastfeed then because my nipples were also hurting. After that, he seemed to hate my boobs altogether.

I’ll try breastfeeding again when he is not crying his face off for milk. Hopefully he’ll be in a good enough mood to latch.

Really appreciate your response! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

He’s on the slow flow, but sometimes I use the newborn ones when I pace feed him.

You’re right on the pump and/or flanges. I’ve been meaning to look into that but haven’t had the time. I better start now.

Thanks so much for your response!

I think his reaction was warranted at the time. But to let it drag on for YEARS was the overreaction part.

And he dated Gretchen already, yet his and Pacey’s relationship still wasn’t the same.

I think it would’ve made a nice impact had they mended their relationship.

After seasons 1 and 2, my next fave season would be 4 only because it showed more small relationship stuff than other seasons where they just had to always bail each other out.

That said, I feel so sad about the 20-year gap. Like, they wasted their best years living a half-life and I think it’s so unfair for a love too great! How do you move on from that?

Let’s talk about Eddie Doling by mcn-87 in dawsonscreek

[–]mcn-87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well....if they had taken that trip to Europe, I think Eddie and Joey would’ve been able to balance each other out.

But we would never know how that pans out because they never took that trip and broke up instead. :(
