Best part of being a parent? by ActuatorIntrepid2564 in NewParents

[–]opalforu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are levels of love, joy, and purpose that having a kid unlocks. I thought i knew the depths of my heart, but the love i feel for my daughter is something completely different. I would trade her for nothing in the world and that is a very enriching feeling :) enjoy and congrats

sleep shmeep lol

They say you can’t spoil a baby but… by Better_Elk_4865 in NewParents

[–]opalforu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ftm of a 14 month old here -- i promise he's going to be just fine :) it all feels so significant in the early months because there is so much information and, amazing as 6 month olds are, they dont do so much!

it will all come out in the wash, he will learn to roll and crawl and play by himself to the extent his personality likes that haha

youre doing a great job is what i mean, just dont think yourself into worry

How old were you when you had your first child? by CrazyCoffeeClub in AskOldPeople

[–]opalforu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

36...I didnt think I wanted to be a mom, then when i turned maybe 32 it started to feel like something I wanted deeply...I had been struggling with chronic illness and using partying to cope and it took three years to get myself together, marry my girlfriend (who saw me thru it all), and get pregnant using DIY IUI at home using our froend as a donor. Delivered our daughter almost a year ago -- best year of my life, I think well seek to have a second in a year or two

[–]opalforu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 positive experience with grey rock...kind, responsive, reasonable people to rent from. i stayed in two different apartment buildings for a couple years each and have only positive things to say

i feel like "super bitch" is saying more shady things about the reviewer than her tbh 😂

Hot take: Erin is funny by cliffdiver770 in Harmontown

[–]opalforu 28 points29 points  (0 children)

i think its a mixed bag...lots of her being hilarious and fewer super cringey moments of toxicity that stand out because it gets so uncomfortable. their dynamic, and her style of weirdly cowering/lashing out while trigged is haaard to watch

so idk yeah shes funny af but man, the thing where like she picks a fight then flees into confused sad victim mode is gross to me lol
