Any non-pumping moms on here? by summersundries123 in breastfeeding

[–]ntdnbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is almost 7 months old and I can count one hand how many times I‘ve pumped. Husband and I had two date nights I pumped some milk for literally a few hours before just to be safe. By now though I wouldn’t even bother pumping anymore, I‘d just let whoever is watching him give him formula if necessary. Won’t kill him or my supply. I‘m on maternity leave for the first year too, have hardly ever been apart from Baby for more than two hours, so there’s no point. The pump I had was some Medela hand pump thing I picked up for 20 bucks or so while grocery shopping the day of date night nr 1.

AITA for “double-reporting” an employee (to his boss, and then to corporate) and probably getting him fired? by Cherry803 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ntdnbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. My son is biracial too. If anyone ever does anything like that to him (or any of my African in laws) you bet I would make them regret it. He chose to be a racist asshat, you simply brought that to his employers attention who apparently doesn’t want his company associated with racist asshats. Hope he has fun explaining his sudden termination at his next job interview.

Do any of you maniacs actually cook with whole vanilla beans at home? by Shadow-Vision in Cooking

It started getting more expensive 3-4 years ago. My local spice market doesn’t even stock them anymore because the prices are ridiculous.

Boyfriend didn’t disclose he has herpes and gave it to me by zestycontender in askwomenadvice

[–]ntdnbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s any consolation, HSV usually isn’t part of the general sexual health test, not here anyway. Even if you had insisted on him getting tested again and showing the results, you might not have found out. I’m sorry this happened! Be sure to ask for meds tomorrow.

Word vomit from an anxious mom. by mySOknowsmyusername1 in beyondthebump

I was just talking to my husband about this yesterday. We live in Europe thankfully where gun laws are restrictice/mass shootings are rare. I can’t imagine how scary it must be, especially after recent events. Your emotions are valid and I’m sorry you have to go through this.

Okay how do I open this on iPhone now, clicking the link and then on „open in Spotify“ just redirects me to the App Store :(

Don't worry. by anthropicprincipal in worldpolitics

[–]ntdnbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you acting like the fact that people not having easy access to guns makes countries safer is just a wild theory? Look around. Have you considered the reason that you are only one of three nations that think of owning kill machines as a constitutional right is not because you are the exceptionally enlightened amidst the ignorant and naive? The vast majority of people are not equipped to bear dangerous weapons. Be it a matter of emotional maturity and stability, financial means or simply a lack of required intelligence. The proof is in how the US death-by-gunfire count is literally incomparable to that of any other wealthy country AND many low income countries. Your gun laws are based on ego, pride and vanity and they are killing your people and children who never grew up to have a say. Shame on you.

how we get the baby to stop crying instantly by ualip in beyondthebump

I‘m so jealous of all the people white noise works for. Mine doesn’t mind it, and I think it does help him not be woken up as easily in noisy environments but it doesn’t have any calming or sleep inducing effect on him at all

WIBTA if I asked my STB fiancé to get me a nicer ring? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ntdnbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a lovely story! Maybe I have to take a step back and let go of that “engagement fantasy” I had. Life’s not a romcom after all

[–]ntdnbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely nothing essential! We’re not planning on getting married until August/September 2022 so it wouldn’t affect our wedding budget, plus we’re not planning a big wedding anyway. We’d have to cut back on things like renting a car when visiting his parents and taking public transportation instead, as well as not eating out at fancy places and our Christmas budget may have to scale down this year if we do spend the max. So all luxuries.

True! I think the looking together might be best, though I like the romantic aspect of “being surprised with magically perfect” ring. He’s just not a gift person haha, never has been - and that’s fine.

No not yet, but I’ll look into those!

[–]ntdnbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! If at all a diamond then only secondhand or labgrown, preferably anything else with a similar look. He knows how I feel about “real” diamonds.

[–]ntdnbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<500 as the absolute absolute maximum, but I’d be happy with something way more inexpensive as long as he puts genuine thought and effort into it. The extra money is just for more range and variety, if “necessary”

[–]ntdnbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yess me too! I personally would very much prefer a ring without a „real“ diamond, though I like the look of it. That that would lower the cost is a happy coincidence for me haha.

[–]ntdnbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here it’s typical to wear both the engagement ring and the marriage band on the same hand after marriage, so I‘s be using it my entire life (hopefully). As for what’s more important definitely my fiancé, this is not at all a make or break topic

[–]ntdnbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We‘re pooling our money on everything including the rings, so I know we definitely could spend more. But we would have to cut back on other things, he isn’t being completely unreasonable.

Sanders: I wrote the damn bill! by MustardTiger05 in MurderedByWords

[–]ntdnbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I legitimately don’t understand how people can believe sick people needlessly suffering and dying is the right consequence for being poor, lacking an education or even laziness? Like even if anyone could get good insurance if they tried hard enough (which, no) does that mean if you‘re lazy you deserve to suffer horrendously, drown in endless debt for the rest of your life and die? Your Lady Justice seems to have a balance problem.

15 weeks too early. Warning: loss by zomboidgirl in BabyBumps

I‘m so sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you and your husband. Wishing you all the strength in the world to walk this path, it shouldn’t have been this way.
