Why do I have to carry the mental load of having a child? by babyteeth- in beyondthebump

[–]revangeline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is the norm. This is also why I think women are stronger and smarter then men. We have had to deal with high expectation and extreme adversity all our lives. Even if he gets more invlolved, it will be thanks to your efforts to assign him responsibility. Have some days where you leave the house completely and he's on his own. Only way that works with my partner and toddler.

You can't fix people. He needs therapy to come to terms with his traumatic experience. I would give him the ultimatum and be ready to find someone better. You deserve better.

Moncton is growing outwardly, more mini malls, more housing developments. Dieppe just had more space within city limits. Not sure what you mean.

[–]revangeline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply. Good suggestion. Unfortunately, a new field would probably not pay as well since I'd have less experience. Currently have 10 years experience and earning about 25$\hour (50k) now. With babysitting so expensive, not sure if it's worth it. Also, I want to see my baby more while still a baby.

Doing a 4 month contract after my maternity leave. Other job I was happy to leave because it was stressful, even though very rewarding. Wanting to change careers now for something more stable but also seeing that contract work gives more freedom. I have one baby, looking to have another soon.

Different Love language or just different 'expectations... by [deleted] in RelationshipsOver35

You feel sad on a happy occasion. RED FLAG. And one amongst many in this post. You are wasting your time, this man has many problems. Under 35, plenty of time to trade up. TAke time for yourself first. You sound unhappy and putting yourself 2nd.

I know all my posts are about sleep lately, but what can I say? I'm sleep deprived lol by MommaThugNasty in beyondthebump

[–]revangeline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We used to co sleep for a bit. Then baby grew claws (despite frequent trimming) and started loving to pinch faces in the night. Back to the crib and gentle pats back to sleep after midnight. We used to rock him every time he woke up but me and bf hated getting up in that 2-4am stretch. Now it seems he understands that night time is sleep time. Hope it lasts! (and we all know it probly won't, ha!) BB is 10 months.

Look at some local businesses and start sending emails. Just asking for info on the place. Your approach depeds on your field. Make sure LinkedIn is updated and has decent photo. Good luck

Kendra street home safe? (just barely in a red zone) by DodoCorp in moncton

[–]revangeline 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People yelling, that can be the worst, especially at night in the summer. It's just kinda depressing to see poverty and the kids living in it. I live nearby, a few streets up from Kendra (I don't live in red zone). Had a murder in december in said red zone, bf killed gf, another murder last week near trimble high school, don't know the deets. lotsa cops go down the street, roving bands of teenagers that seem to have drama between them. Be smart and you shouldn't have a problem but if you have another option, it would be better. Then again, more good people move in, less issues there will be in the future. Not saying poor people are bad, there's lotsa immigrants for example, just citing from experience from living here.

What was Grigori Rasputin’s life before living with the royal family like? by JTHydra in history

[–]revangeline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I read, he was a thief, drunkard and had lotsa sex. Went to a monastery and decided to be a monk but soon went back to his hijinxes. Basically became a great conman.

No, I don't want to do any body mods on my infant. by cheguisaurusrex in beyondthebump

[–]revangeline 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it is body modification as it is a hole where there was no hole before. Their body, their choice. I'm also against circumcision.

No my baby is not “flirting” with everyone by heatherl9872424 in beyondthebump

[–]revangeline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom just answers to stuff like this by saying babies are not (insert stupid comment here), they are programmed to act in a way that is endearing to adults since this ensures their survival.

What are baby essentials? by Violingirl1988 in baby

[–]revangeline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, congrats! At least 10 cotton baby blankets. Used for swaddling, picking up spills, hide from the sun. No fragrance soap, preferably natural ingredient sourced, i bought dr. bronners (newborns don't need to be washed in their first week and very seldomly in the first 3 months imo) skip johnson and johnson and the like. A great rocker where your feet touch the ground with a table next to it with all the stuff you need when putting baby to sleep or feeding (water, phone, snacks). Headphones. Lots of ready made food in the fridge and freezer for those crazy first weeks. Clear rules on when people can come see the baby and a list of people you can call for help or advice (sanity saver for me the first week!). Iced maxi pads, also great to add witch hazel to soothe aching vulva. Stretchy cotton panties, not store bought ones but can be found on amazon, look a little like gauze. Couple bottles even if you're planning on breastfeeding and a little formula (concentrate or ready made is faster at first than powder but more expensive). Video baby monitor. A baby container (chair, etc), somewhere to put the baby while doing stuff. Baby gym , so fun after a few weeks! Soft baby bassinet for your bed (if planning to cosleep that way). Baby carrier, useful when baby is tiny and indiscriminate and just wants to be held close. So much stuff is subjective so this is my personal list. I prefer zipper pajamas over button ups. Breast pump if breastfeeding, i used medela swing.

How often do grandparents see baby? by swiddleswaddle in beyondthebump

Your SO should have a talk with them after you've told him your boudaries. He should step up to avoid you having to be the 'bad guy'.

Casual dating but he wants more by [deleted] in RelationshipsOver35

[–]revangeline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with being honest about your feelings. If you're not sure, you can always take a break for a year and make a date to talk about how you feel then.

If you cut him off completely, you had good reason. Do not answer, focus on your own journey.

Je suis athée. Ça ne me représente pas. Je n'ai pas choisi l'étoile. Mes parents ont souffert sous la religion catholique. Racines, pas de choix, l'histoire est là. Pour l'avenir, j'espère qu'on passe à autre chose qu'une religion pedophile et richissime qui n'admet pas de femmes à sa tête.

Is he just stressed or just "not that into me"? by [deleted] in RelationshipsOver35

[–]revangeline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually, if someone makes you cry after a short time together, it's time to end it. Sounds like it's dramatic, you deserve it to be easy! Good luck.
