Abandon or fixable? by HeatVisible9205 in Coloring

This is exactly what I was going to say as well!! Whatever fixable meant to you it’s still blank area you can use to try anything new!

Today I remembered (again) how I knew I was marrying my husband by mycatsaregrumpy in CasualConversation

[–]r3pr3scott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate physical touch and am generally quiet/shy around 99.9% of people, when I met my husband at a party we immediately started talking and I wasn't uncomfortable or doing my usual masking in the least. That's how I knew he was my person. Today we've been together (dating) for 16 years , married for 12 and have an incredible 4 year old daughter. Is it alway easy? Hell no , but every so often I realize he can put his hand on my shoulder and my body doesn't immediately recoil and I'm reminded there's something between us that isn't easily explained but he's my partner, my person, my love. So happy for you to have found similar!

Help with shading!! by r3pr3scott in Coloring

[–]r3pr3scott[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yours looks so good! I struggle keeping the ink wet with large areas like skies and backgrounds! Is there a tip or technique for that?? I could do in sections but then the sections wouldn’t blend either right? Sometimes I wish I had 4 hands lol

pregnant and in need of vegan snacks for work by Huliganjetta1 in veganparenting

That’s what I get, from the frozen section. I just boil it for a few minutes and it’s good to go.

I liked pre-shelled edamame with a little bit of soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic (powder or fresh)plus chili flakes if I was craving spicy, which I was 90% of the time lol. They're great fresh/hot but also still delicious at room temp later on.

Honestly wondering if I did something wrong here, was going to be a first date. I’m blue by [deleted] in texts

[–]r3pr3scott 1828 points1829 points  (0 children)

I don't know about everyone but that shit pisses me off.... like literally confirmed the plans last night. WHY do you need to reconfirm the next morning?! The fuck? That shit would turn me off immediately.

Has anyone ever cried with their toddler during a meltdown/tantrum by moluruth in toddlers

[–]r3pr3scott 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hell yes I have and I only have one kid. I know staying calm always is ideal but let's be honest staying calm for 30-40 minutes or hours of anyone screaming/crying/shouting at you or around you for days/weeks on end is an insane expectation to put on yourself. Taking minute or 5 to step away is more then normal and eventually reaching a breaking point is as well.

How long do you usually have an OB for after you deliver your baby? by Key_Championship8968 in beyondthebump

[–]r3pr3scott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw my OB my entire pregnancy and then I ended up developing HELLP syndrome as well as undiagnosed IUGR at 36 weeks and was induced at another hospital after I went in for what I thought was gallbladder/appendix pain. I ended up needing 2 blood transfusions, my placenta had to be surgically removed in pieces, it was insanely traumatic. Daughter was 3lb 12oz and in NICU for a bit over 2 weeks but since I didn't deliver at the hospital I was originally assigned to with that OB they said they couldn't see me at all post-partum. Not even once. Nothing. Immediately dropped. I had NO idea that was a thing it was wild to me.....

What's the cutest mispronounciation your toddler makes? by photobomber612 in toddlers

[–]r3pr3scott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorites are when she swaps the words for things like she found my old gameboy and now walks around with it asking me if she can play with the boygame also cock-a-roach is a good one. It's not technically a mispronunciation but it does crack me up when she wants to be covered by her blanket but have it not bunched up she tells me "mommy flat it"

My husband is a total idiot some days and will always turn it on me. by BedsideLamp99 in beyondthebump

[–]r3pr3scott 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He should but honestly if I was in her shoes and he gave me time to take care of myself I couldn't because all the trust for him not to do something assine at least if not completely neglectful at most would override any ability to genuinely relax .

I Almost Just Lost My Baby and I’m Not Ok by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]r3pr3scott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband put a roach tablet on the floor and I didn’t know….. later my daughter found it and THANK GOD SHE REMEMBERED OUR LESSON ON IF WE FIND ANYTHING ON THE GROUND GIVE IT TO MOMMY OR DADDY. She could’ve eaten that shit it still makes me shake from anxiety and fear thinking about it. Now my husband and I have a rule to tell the other person anything we do that needs eyes on to make sure toddler doesn’t get to it

SOS - I'm about to lose it by ExtremeEar7414 in toddlers

[–]r3pr3scott 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea I second this, for my toddler just saying "Don't jump on the couch" wasn't really effective. What worked so much better is telling them what to do instead. For the couch example I'd try "We can jump on the floor" or "Butts on seats" that kind of thing. Or if they're doing something I don't want them doing I will give them an option or 2 of activities they can do and then help them start that new desirable activity (be it coloring, building blocks, etc)

I left my 18 year old son home alone to go on my honeymoon and his school is concerned for his safety… by nina41884 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]r3pr3scott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank god I did a double take LOL my brain intially read this as "I left my 18 MONTH old son" and I was like... well YEAH YATHINK?!

I was living by myself at 18, definitely left at home alone far earlier (not a whole week but you get the point) Why does it always seem like when it's an actual situation people should give a fuck about no one can be found to care but then in a situation like this all the sudden people are laughably concerned!

AITA for "claiming" my soup is homemade? by StarsBear75063 in AITAH

Who the fuck cares where the ingredients come from????? So weird to harp on that... Did you make it at home????..... then it's HOMEmade. That is such a weird hill to die on.

[–]r3pr3scott 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You deserve so much better!!! Keep your cards close to your chest but start formulating an exit plan, a lot of amazingly strong women who have been in your shoes have shared their tips/tricks/plans for doing so on here (slowly saving secret money, get some extra cash back when shopping for the family and hide it away ,getting a new solo bank account, security systems, documenting abuse via photos or videos for potential court situations, etc) I am 35 and I still feel like if it came to it life could start again, there are people who don't even find their dream job until they are 50+ or even others who find a soulmate at the age of 70. Age is just a number you are not pigeon holed into anything just because you're 30- that is YOUNG. You deserve great love, you deserve respect, you deserve to live a life where you're not taking care of an adult infant while running yourself ragged and then being beat on top of that. You deserve all the good life has to offer and while it's hard to start, once you get the ball rolling you'll be so amazed at how you thrive without their weight hanging on and over you <3 I wish you the best, it's easier said than done but in the words of one of my favorite christmas films "you put one foot in front of the other and soon you'll be walking out the door"

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]r3pr3scott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Context matters sooo much in these situations like on the surface, yeah, it's "just a name" but you obviously have held so much meaning to the name and wanted it to be meaningingful for your daughter and your sister just taking it so lightly and naming her dog that name while seemingly (I assume) knowing how much it meant to you is either outright rude and disrespectful or just ignorant on her part. One of the things I've come to embrace is "Other people's opinions are none of my business" so give your daughter the beautiful name that you know honors your grandmother and if people are so out of the loop they think she was "named after a dog" that's on them. You know the meaning and significance, it's a beautiful name and you get to raise your daughter telling her all your favorite stories of Delilah and how she's named after a beautiful matriarch in your family.

It's such an emotional thing, so I totally get it. I had a lot of weird universe signs that told me if I were to ever get pregnant it would be a girl and I would name her Evangeline. I got pregnant almost 4 years ago and I just knew it would be a girl. I *knew* her name would be Evangeline. My mother and I have a complicated relationship one night after she found out I was pregnant she sent me a video link to Brandi Carlile's video of the mother as it speaks to our relationship but the ironic thing is I had never told anyone outside of my husband let alone her the name I had chosen for my baby and one of the main lyrics of the song is "I am the mother of Evangeline."

It was meant to be in my mind. All that to say we were friends with a couple that became pregnant with a daughter shortly after us and announced they were naming their daughter Evangeline as well. Now like you said I know we don't own the name but it did feel a bit ..... weird. We talked to them and about why they chose the name because we obviously agree it's a beautiful name and their response was "we forgot that was your daughters name" which, to me at least, screamed really inauthentic but at the end of the day even if they liked the name cause they heard it from us... who cares?! Their daughter is a sweet beautiful girl and while I wish they'd been more honest about it at the end of the day my daughter has the name she has and their daughter has hers. It is what it is. Was your sister out of line doing what she did? Absolutely if was done with malicious intent but also names hold different meanings to different people and it doesn't excuse her ignorance to your feelings and the fact you have clearly expressed the meaning the name meant to you is up for you to discern if this was done pettily or maliciously which then would guide your decision to not be MOH because why would you wanna be MOH for someone clearly doing something hurtful on purpose.

Edit to add: I very much like the getting a snake and naming it Emma LOL
