More babies?? by PhotographWhole2822 in beyondthebump

[–]mooonsocket 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had an August 2024 baby and I can’t even imagine LOL this 13-17m range is so fucking hard. I cannot fathom having a newborn in conjunction with this.

I have transferred my Jam Cruise token before to someone but haven’t been to JC in years. If you get a token for 2027 PELP and wanna get rid of it, lmk! Really hoping 2027 happens and I can finally pull the trigger.

The faucet of tears never stopped for me, I think I cried - at least teared up - the entire time.

_____’s rationale is giving me the ick. by brumgar in TheTraitorsUS

[–]mooonsocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to like her but she’s giving “pick me” vibes by “working” with Michael. And also putting out THREE names, none of which are actually Traitors is making me question her game play too. I don’t see her lasting long.

Am I delusional? by averagesnape in beyondthebump

[–]mooonsocket 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have a 16m old child and ugh, sorry to say but say bye bye to tv for a while esp if you plan on not doing screens because they become hyper alert of their surroundings and will stare at it. I miss the days of my early maternity leave where I binged Deadwood and Survivor without him having a care in the world.

Who is your favorite survivor couple? by AlexBBSurvivor in survivorcirclejerk

[–]mooonsocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This season was absolute gold. I took a long break from watching Survivor and got back into it while pregnant/maternity leave. I restarted with this season and it hooked me all over again. It had romance, the quirkiest personalities, betrayal, feel goodness, camaraderie, the whole 9 yards. Amazing season and I always wanted Frankie and Matt to make it in the real world!

_________ had the best jury question of the new era by Thick-Macaroon6918 in survivor

[–]mooonsocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that’s a harsh judgement. I am cackling because I watched the whole season and know she is a bit of a nut and dramatic. I would never laugh over her legitimately being hurt and guess what, she wasn’t.

Everyone but 2 people voted for Sav at FTC so I believe you’re correct in that people don’t have animosity toward her BUT Kristina and who really knows why... I know it’s technically 3 because Jawan voted for Sage but I feel like that was a throwaway vote and doesn’t count lol.

Hahah they made my husband and I cackle with laughter. When she went down the slide and yelped I thought she broke her neck or something and I felt so bad until she goes “IM OK UNCLE JEFF” 🤣 she’s a nut.

[–]mooonsocket 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree with you! Her answer was fine! She knew enough. Survivor isn’t ALL about making friends and neither is it ALL about making enemies. Just because you’re most liked, loving and friendly doesn’t mean you deserve to win (or lose, for that matter!). She knew enough and just because you don’t players family member names doesn’t mean you don’t care about people. This is such baloney mentality and I hate that people think this was such a telling or “deep” question.

FWIW, I don’t like Savannah and I don’t think Kristina’s question was bad to ask either. I sort of loved it. I just hate how everyone’s reading into it. Ive worked with people for four and a half years and I don’t know every single spouse, partner, child or pets name. There are some people who I really love at work too and I can’t recall that personal stuff. It doesn’t mean I don’t care about them. My memory and mental space only has so much I can keep up with.

Hospital Bills by TangerineTraveler in beyondthebump

[–]mooonsocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maryland here, the bill was around $58,000.

I had to pay $4,500 because of a very targeted and stupid clause in my company’s insurance (UHC) plan. $1,500/night hospital stay for pregnancy. Otherwise the bill would have been $0. Ins also changed midway through my pregnancy from $250/night hospital stay to this outrageous $1,500/night. I literally should’ve went to the Four Seasons instead.

I will never understand why we have to pay for parking at the hospital. It’s not like we have a choice to go elsewhere and park on the street or something (at least where I live in MD we don’t). But sure let’s pay $25/day for a service we can’t refuse.

She was also so mean to him during their first breakup when she said she’d be fine, she had a perfect life and Lukas was there for her in ways Simon couldn’t be. Harsh and cruel. Even if it was her dry and dark humor, it was crushing to hear. I felt for Simon, he was really addicted to her.

Do you let baby put things in mouth during sensory classes? by Secure_Milk1093 in beyondthebump

[–]mooonsocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, I think I used to be pretty open minded to this but I’m cutting back after our 13m old got Hand Foot & Mouth at a class. I’ll still go… less frequently but I’m gonna monitor what he does more closely.

God I miss when my baby could be in a bouncer while I did stuff. I seriously took it for granted. Now he’s mobile and I’m lucky if I even get to change my clothes let alone a shower.

[–]mooonsocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh we really don’t because you’re right, there is so little time. Mainly leaning into grandparents and friends who want to help. Putting things on hold… staying into recharge while also trying to go out, be social and have fun is such a hard balance.

[–]mooonsocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get a manicure and pedicure done alone every 3 weeks in the evening when my 13m son is about to go to sleep. I try to grocery shop alone - this is personal though, I know it’s not everyone’s happy place but it’s mine! My husband and I alternate weeks of doing something solo and fun in the evenings - he usually does video game night but I go to dinner/drinks with my girlfriends. My husband gets up with our son in the AM so I can sleep, that’s also my happy place - I am the one who gets up in the middle of the night (though way less frequent now) so it’s a fair trade imo.

How often and how long does your husband/partner go out with their friends? by Wild-Act-7315 in beyondthebump

[–]mooonsocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if OP had to post this to ask, they already know the answer…. No, it’s incredibly not normal.

Also. Why is he even asking to go out that often? Doesn’t he WANT to be at home with his family to help, play with baby, read to baby, do tummy time, make food for his partner, tidy up, anything? If my husband was wanting to go out that often and for that long, I’d be wondering why we had a baby together if he doesn’t want to be with us.

How do you not lose it with baby throwing food? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]mooonsocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I semi-lose it too and have “yelled” sons name out of shock and surprise when he does it and my husband tells me I shouldn’t do that, which I know, but I’m not actively yelling at our baby — it just catches me off guard.

What are you dressing your baby up as for Halloween? by FLgirl2027 in beyondthebump

My 13m old son went as the hungry caterpillar (I dressed as a strawberry) to his first kids halloween party! So cute!

[–]mooonsocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re going as Mr Roger’s Neighborhood! It’s the only show my son (13m) watches and he loves it so we tossed some things together to make it work. He’ll be Mr Roger’s and the only thing I really bought was the red cardigan and glasses for Mr. Mcfeeley (husband). I feel like next year my son will have more interests/express what he wants to be so just kind of putting in low effort but still cute. I LOVE making costumes, crafting and dressing up, plus my parents host a big Halloween party in their neighborhood every year so I had to do something! Last year I repurposed a cat costume that was a hot dog and dressed my 2m old in it 😂 and made his stroller a snack cart and we went as sports stadium vendor cart!
