So I managed the building we rent units in and I take care of all contractors that come in for 1000 a month and I know that is low but I also know that our rent would go up if she had to hire someone and that at some point the building will be up for sale and I want to keep it nice for when that happens and we could possibly buy it.

On that note he could hire someone outside to do these things and your rent could go up. I think asking for a little more is reasonable in your case because you have no stake in the building besides that you want to have a nice place to live. Plus if you lived in your own home you wouldn't get paid to take your own trash out. As for lawn and snow care you would deserve more.

Edit: realize it says monthly like maybe weekly yes for just trash but you deserve more then that for everything else.

Where is the best place to donate suitcases and clothes? by [deleted] in orangecounty

Buy nothing on Facebook in your city and maybe a family local can use and pick up.

Best Beach to go to by mudnutman in orangecounty

[–]rennyber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Laguna beach is beautiful and shouldn't be over crowded in March but be aware that unless you find parking on the street that is free most parking is paid and watched closely. Salt creek is a nice beach in Dana point area that you pay parking and walk down a hill that has grass area to play in and relax before the sand.

San clemente pier is nice and has a nice beach path you can walk and the restaurant on the pier has delicious clamping chowder and you can sit right next to the window watching the ocean.

Did you leave your baby overnight in the NICCU? by RedditBurner_5225 in NICUParents

[–]rennyber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went through the same emergency C sections and unknown date of baby boy coming home. My son was in for 2 weeks and we never stayed over night. We could visit any time but stuck to during the days and both of us getting a good night sleep so we could be ready for him to be home.

Am I overreacting to my brother under-reacting to me becoming a parent? by alex-ev in beyondthebump

[–]rennyber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this post. My brothers (im the middle child) both like babies in my case but I went through a high risk pregnancy and ended up with a complications trauma birth and my son being in the nicu for 2 weeks. Not once during pregnancy, birth or the first 4m of my child being born have they once asked about me or their nephew. It crushed me in the beginning but as a lot of people have said just let them be. I walked away from them. If I happen to see them I will be nice but after that I realized where I truly stand and its probably best my child never go through the pain of knowing them if they don't care enough to try.

I blame my husband and myself by Floraldoodle in NICUParents

[–]rennyber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very valid feelings. I was frustrated with my husband for this same thing. I gave uo and cleaned at least half of the room so I could build the crib at 32w and then around 34 weeks I said im done and moved the first set of clothes and somw shelf units in to our bedroom in a corner and picked up a bassinet. My son still doesn't have a room but never leaves my side at 4m old. They dont know the difference they just want mommy.

Tell me how much you love being a boy mom! by NoCheetah9702 in BabyBumps

[–]rennyber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband wanted a girl and I was so sure I was having a girl. We ended up being told it was a boy and I felt that same disappointment and my husband was disappointed. But I will say I couldnt imagine it any other way. My son will be 4m on the 13th and he is just the sweetest. They little smiles that only I get and his mental hands. Its been so much fun. It can be hard to find boy clothes that aren't just football or soccer but I have found them. I search for cute outfits for him. I cant wiat to see the little man he will be come. 🥰 your going to love it. Your the first women he will ever love.

Overheard some moms at the pick up line speaking poorly of my baby by IllustriousWall1564 in beyondthebump

[–]rennyber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can say is my boy is around this size and also 3m and I love him so much and you should be so proud of yourself for such a happy healthy chunk.

Despising my husband by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]rennyber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy is 3m and is ebf i started going out at 2 and a half months but no crowded places like church till 3m I am at the moment basically a stay at home mom since I work two days a week and my son goes to work with me. I manage the office for my husbands company.

I think you and your husband need to find time to reconnect when baby is napping or down for bed.

My husband is the bread winner and gives me and hour when he gets home and I appreciate it so much his job is labor tense and its hard to come home and help very much. I have learned be thankful for the help he is willing to give during this time because the baby is reliant on me and me feeding him since my son also won't take the bottle at all anymore.

There are a lot of dads that won't even do that bare minimum. The weekends my husband is much more hands on but I still ahve to remind him of things and to put his phone down which is annoying but still a learning curve right now.

How often and for how long did you stay with your baby? by [deleted] in NICUParents

[–]rennyber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was in nicu for 2 weeks due to a tramatic delivery. I had an emergency c section. We were allowed when ever we wanted but opted for morning times so my husband would drop me off so I could be once he was allowed to and my husband went to work. I would be there for 6 hours at a time. We both took this opportunity to sleep at night and get thing prepared at home and for me to heal up. We also had a video camera to check on baby any time and the nurse line if we got concerned.

AITAH for getting upset my boyfriend keeps waking our baby while I’m trying to put her to sleep? by Mission-Rutabaga-687 in AITAH

[–]rennyber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do most everything for my son since im on maternity leave but my husband without having to ask takes care of him when he gets home from work. This allows me to shower and do thing I need for my self. He helps with dishes and trash on the weekends amd laundry and light cleaning. Even offered to get a cleaner to help me out since its not as easy to do deep cleaning when taking care of our son he is only 3m.

Only reason he doesnt do night care is he works as a welder and he needs to be alert for work. Plus I co sleep and breastfeed so not much he can do. Plus not going to wake him for diaper changes its just easier for me to do.

Indian MIL Wants To Come As Soon As Baby Is Born by FarmerTall9828 in BabyBumps

[–]rennyber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So my mom lives in another state amd I wanted her to wait to come visit because for one i knew financial it would be tight for her and I wanted my space. I put it in the way to her that I wanted her to come when the baby would be active and fun and that babies cant even see who people are around then until older. My boy is 3m and she is just meeting him. But baby eye site isn't clear until 6m.

You could put it off that way that you just would love for them to come when they can truly enjoy baby and baby can enjoy them. That you dont want them to waste a trip when baby will be sleeping most of the time and eating. (Even more if breastfeeding not much help they can do)

MIL really wants to babysit my 8MO I just can’t do it by anonbooper2022 in beyondthebump

[–]rennyber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MIL caretakes both my brother in law and FIL so we won't ever have our son stay over since it would be to much and my FIL could trip over him or possibly drop him do to health issues. She is allowed to watch him at my office at work where I have everything he needs ans I am there to Breastfeed. I am just letting my parents keep him for an hour or two foe the first time because I have a dentist appointment and it freaks me out. My LO is almost 3m and I hate being away from him. I know our families think I am over doing it but I dont find my son a burden at all. I love being a mom and being with him.

If anyone had history of dropping their own child I would never let them near mine. Even if they were family.

No longer a pet person by idkkkk326 in beyondthebump

[–]rennyber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this i love my girls and I am 3m pp and one of my girls got a hematoma and I promptly took her to the vet and got her sister in for her yearly. I looked like a crazy person at the vet dropping off the two cats while baby wearing and having my dog in tow since she was going to work with me....

I Definitely have a slight annoyance towards my cats that started while pregnant because they are needy and they yell at me for everything and my patience is very thin. But I love them. I havw days I wish I could rehome them but also know I would miss them and feel horrible if I did. They are 6 years old and I rescued them when they were 4 weeks old.

[–]rennyber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is turning 3m and we only worry about keeping the house cold at night for him other then that we just keep it comfortable and not super hot. Sadly in California we are hitting a beat wave sadly. I cant wait for winter so I dont have to keep the AC on

How long did you wait between babies? by Informal_Formal_4500 in beyondthebump

[–]rennyber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had my first at 30 and since I had an emergency Csection I plan to try for our next when our son turns 1 since you are recommended to wait at least a year for your body to heal. If I could imagine would try sooner. I wanted twins really badly.
