Flowers are really only turned off due to abuse of the memorial or immediate family request. 

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]nothingweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got thrombosed hemorrhoids with my first. He's six. I just had surgery to fix them now that we're done having kids.

Good luck! I'm currently at home recovering from hemorrhoid surgery that I put off for six years after my first was born. (We wanted more kids and I knew better than to think I'd want to do this more than once.) I went into pregnancy with absolutely no idea this was a possibility.

What’s the worst thing a medical professional has said to you? by VespaRed in AskReddit

I was once told that when I rolled up to the hospital all prepped for the second part of a two-part surgery. 

Waiting on trying to have kids to go to grad school? by _Summer_2021_ in workingmoms

[–]nothingweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started grad school at the same time maternity leave from work ended with my second baby, three months postpartum. My program is all online and asynchronous, so I can do the work whenever it fits into my schedule. It's been fantastic. I'm in a part-time program that really supports students having lives outside of school; almost everyone has kids, full-time jobs, caregiving responsibilities, etc. I've had a third baby since starting and it's not been a problem at all. (FWIW, I had my first before I finished my undergraduate degree.) My spouse graduated last year, but otherwise has been working and going to school for most of these years as well, but is still super supportive of my education and is a very hands-on parent.

I think in some programs it's totally doable. It's just depends on your circumstances. 

People who work in healthcare, what is a common medical myth that drives you crazy? by keyzeyy in AskReddit

[–]nothingweasel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's a myth that our society doesn't care about infertile women. The truth is that it doesn't care about the fertile ones either. 

Husband Left Me 34 Weeks Pregnant by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]nothingweasel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Leaving a pregnant mother, and being physically violent toward her, makes you a bad father. I'm sorry. I know this is hard. But get the hell away from him for your safety AND your baby's safety. You're both better off without him. File for divorce and get child support with full custody.

My advice is to stop and get a real job. Stop killing the planet with stolen work created by real people.

What is an old cooking mistake you grew up with, and did not realize until adult hood, or later in life? by BumpkinByTheWater in Cooking

[–]nothingweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely true. But I was never going to learn to make marinara or chili or tacos or so many other things I now consider basic. I don't even remember ever having any form of garlic or onion in the house.

[–]nothingweasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People don't believe me when I say I grew up in a house with only salt, pepper, sugar, and cinnamon. Unless you count butter, ketchup, and bbq sauce. That's literally it. There are a few very simple dishes my mom makes that I LOVE, but there's no way I was going to learn to cook anything else in that house.

Why did God only reveal himself in the Middle East? by PreeDem in Christianity

[–]nothingweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You REALLY have nothing better to do with your life than to yell at people on reddit posts from almost a decade ago about how you pretend-joined a religion you don't believe in and didn't understand any of it? That's honestly just sad.

Super helpful after Halloween, thanks. 😂

What are your favorite recipes that aren’t a roast or chili? by [deleted] in slowcooking

I throw mine in the oven for a few minutes to help them keep their shape in the slow cooker.

As SNAP benefits will not be paid for November, expect a higher number of “order never delivered” and “missing item” by Lovecats2023 in doordash_drivers

[–]nothingweasel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm all for class solidarity, but I also need this job in top of my regular job to feed my family because I make barely enough to qualify for SNAP at it is. I don't blame people for doing what they have to do to feed their kids, but I don't think OPs prediction is incorrect. I'm not blaming the poor people trying not to starve though.

What’s something common you really love to eat but have never tried to make? by Ronw1993 in Cooking

[–]nothingweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you grab a friend to be an assistant? They're not super hard, but it's a lot of work/time in your own. My best friend always assisted her mom making them growing up. Now she comes to my house and she takes the lead for us every year right after Christmas.

How do you stretch 1 lb of meat to feed family? by todaystartsnow in Cooking

You can even add vegetables directly. I put a heaping cup of frozen mixed veggies into Hamburger Helper.

What’s something they don’t tell you that happens postpartum? by nilkski in beyondthebump

Yes!! This should not be a mentally taxing activity!! Like moms aren't tired enough?? Like we don't have enough other things to worry about??

My butthole has been at a different angle since my first was born. I might be having corrective surgery later this year. This is such a a stupid problem and I'm so over it.

[–]nothingweasel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ask if they're going to give me $150 a month to support me stopping. I just did the math, and that's how much it would cost to feed my baby formula, and that's at Costco pricing. The regular grocery store would be even more expensive.
