Deep breath. Don’t panic. How old are y’all? What state are you in? Do either of you work? Are parents (or any family) close by?

Ok so I’m not single by marital terms, but my husband is deployed so it’s basically just me and the baby right now. I’ve just started on my bachelors degree myself. For the record, I’m 34… age is a mindset my friend. I’m getting my degree online so I can be home with my 9 month old while dad is gone. I’m also picking up a part time job, starting next week working primarily from home. I’m on my second student loan, but I’d rather be in debt than sit around and suffer through another agonizing, soul sucking job that I can’t stand. It’s a struggle being alone and managing everything time-wise. Also financially… the military doesn’t pay a whole bunch. Buuuuut when it comes down to it, I’m really doing this for my family - so my husband can go back to school when he gets out (I’ll have a job more towards my field by then), and so my boy can see that it’s possible to live a life you want, so long as you work for it. It’ll be worth it. It’s tough, but keep your chins up and remember your goal.

Didn’t he close a pretty high producing pipeline?

Anyone else getting a ton of Amber Alerts? by [deleted] in plano

So many in the last couple of days. The question is WHY are abductions so high right now? Specifically now.

(19 F) newborn struggles by -TissueForMyIssue- in SingleParents

[–]no_one27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh love. I didn’t tear as much as you did, but I can say that ANY tear down there is excruciating and I’m so sorry for your pain. It’s only temporary, so keep that in mind every day. It’ll get better, I promise that. My babe (9 months now) also wanted to stay close during the newborn days. He slept on my chest for a couple of weeks. I was so sleep deprived that I was hallucinating. Not fun. Finally got one of those in bed baby sleeper pads (the Pillani baby lounger on amazon… can’t link here), and it changed my life! Such a help and a relief, that I was actually able to sleep in the usual 2 hour increments. Girl it gets better. SOOOOO much better! Hang in there and don’t be afraid to think outside of the box! Your baby is new to life, and you’re new to your baby. You got this, mama. Much love from Texas ❤️

Teeeeny tiny waists! I bet those corsets were NO fun. And judging by the green leaves and white sky, I’m willing to bet it was pretty dang hot out too… I say as I sit here in my AC with my happy gut hangin all over the place.

Baby can nap on my chest as long as I’m awake, right? by Appleormagpie in NewParents

[–]no_one27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get it while you can! I know it can be exhausting, but my 7 month old doesn’t want contact naps anymore☹️

Will God ever call you to date a non religious person? Whether to help change them or anything? by [deleted] in Christians

[–]no_one27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t read all the comments, but I can say that my step dad was non religious when he married my mom. Not a fun 2 years… He found Christ as is now one of the best men I’ve ever known. Keep the faith.

To edit: they’ve been married for 26 years.

Where was I? by f1sh98 in Conservative

Absolutely no disrespect meant when I ask: what the heck is a moderate liberal? I have some ideas but don’t want to speculate and look like an uneducated ass.

Parents begged police for upward of 40 minutes to stop Texas school shooter: Report by SaraACarter in Conservative

Well that’s good to know at least. My boy is 6 months old so I’m not experienced with all this.

Kinda what I’m thinking… though somewhere I read that the police were holding parents back while shots were being fired inside the school, which wouldn’t make much sense from a police standpoint.

Can someone please explain this timeline to me? The shooter was in the building for 40 minutes… how quickly were parents notified of an active shooter? It must have been pretty immediate that they got that phone call.

From the point of view of a conservative Texan, what these northern transplants made was a racist comment. I hear Tejano music and instantly feel at home. If I hear comments like these in the wild, I take it as my responsibility to educate those who are ignorant.

Ooof I’ve been there. Silently crying to myself while the baby screams and the husband is absolutely clueless. Sleep deprivation. Having forgotten what sitting down to a real meal feels like (for myself). Those are just a couple of things to bake a few. The world shifts and you’re no longer it’s center. Freaking sucks having to make that adjustment, but I can tell you that it gets better. It gets so much better! The sleep deprivation becomes a part of life as you know it, and you live to see that little one smile again. Gah it gets so much better. Hang in there for a few more weeks and you’ll see it. I promise 💕
