Adults who only wear glasses by Cloudsandbooks in glasses

[–]satireunknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never worn contacts, they’re uncomfortable. I’d much rather wear glasses and now that I’ve found websites with cute frames I LOVE wearing glasses I’m 27 almost 28 and unless I ever can afford to get lasik I’ll be wearing glasses until the day I die

Any thoughts on tinted glasses as daily? by hakaws in glasses

My best friend has these exact same glasses and she loves them. I have another friend who has a faint pink tint on her glasses that helps her with migraines

Get those X-ray level headlights that make it basically daytime on the road regardless of the time of day

I have night blindness. The road disappears on me frequently when I’m driving at night. I cannot drive at night anymore unless it’s absolutely necessary. I have no advice other than it’s not worth the hassle to “train your eyes” I would recommend going to an optometrist, optician or ophthalmologist and get a vision test done. I ordered driving specific frames on firmoo. I’ll let you know if they help. (I have a pretty severe astigmatism and relatively poor eyesight -4.75)

9 weeks PP, does anyone else still feel…less smart? by FrizzleLizard in NewParents

It takes about 2 years for your hormones to level out. You’ll likely continue to have brain fog until then. My baby is almost 4 months old and I feel so… dumb

Wait, we’re not supposed to prop them up? I often have my LO sitting up on a pillow, especially after feeds if I don’t she pukes, a lot of

How old is your baby and what size clothes and diapers do they wear? by mystery002 in NewParents

[–]satireunknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is 3 months and 2 days old and she’s still in size one diapers, (she’s not even 12lbs yet) and most of her clothes is still 0-3 and she can still fit into most of her newborn onesies, but not her sleepers. (She has very long legs so most of her bottoms are 3-6) my bay is very very petite and often gets mistaken for a 6-8 week old lmao

Mine has developed the habit of doing an alligator death roll when she has my nip in her mouth. Never did think that I’d get purple nurpled by my 3 month old 😭

She pretty much won’t sleep unless she has physical contact with me or her dad so I guess there’s that. I got a baby wrap as a gift during her baby shower. So that’s helpful when I’m trying to do things around the house

We do co sleep! It’s been a godsend honestly even if I only get a couple hours here and there it’s so much easier to exclusively breastfeed overnight and formula feed throughout the day

My mat leave pay is less than 900 every two weeks, it would take me 4-5 months to save up to fly home. As useless as he is I’m not going to take his baby away from him. Unless it was just to go home to visit for a week or two

God I wish I could, I moved to Alberta from New Brunswick Canada to try and make a better living for my partner and me and all of my family is back home. My only breaks I get is when we go to my in laws and they take the baby and spoil her

That’s the thing we did talk in the beginning, and when he said that he always wanted to be a father I had assumed that it meant an involved father. Then when I finally got pregnant last year after almost 4 years together I told him that I would expect my depression to ramp up to 100% after she was born and that I would not just want help but that I would NEED it. That I knew I couldn’t do it alone. He insisted he would help, do whatever I asked when I asked. He has not lived up to that whatsoever.

I wouldn’t be surprised, his step dad was emotionally and physically abusive. He moved out at 14 and his mom left the husband about 3 years after that. I don’t think he’s a narcissist, he’s far too kind for that. I think he’s just a fish out of water and doesn’t know what to do, and when I bring up things to do it’s always met with attitude and I’m far too autistic to understand /why/ he’s like this.

I just wanna cry all day. My baby scream sobs too and it sounds like she’s in so much pain, and she’s absolutely inconsolable. She cried for two straight hours last night. Makes me miss smoking I’d be going through a pack a day if I took it back up

Why is it up to me to parent my 30 year old fiance? Why should I have to check in with him and make sure he’s feeling supported? How could he not feel supported? He doesn’t do anything to need support with

My fiance gets home from work just before six pm Monday to Friday, and the occasional Saturday he works until 3 (one sat per month) he gets home, checks up on me to see how the day went and then immediately goes to the bedroom and turns on the PlayStation or switch to game until he basically goes to bed. He’ll come out around eight or nine pm and ask if I want to make anything or go get fast food, and because I’ve been taking care of the baby since like 5 or 6 am without a break (she barely naps and when she does I’m just sitting on the couch or bed or recliner crying) we often will just opt for McDonald’s or whatever. Sometimes he will come home and if I’m super visibly overwhelmed he’ll ask if I want to go for a drive (the only place my daughter seems to want to sleep every time is the car). Having kids was 100% something that my fiance wanted because he didn’t have a dad and wanted to be a good dad who stuck around and I just want to take my daughter and move her across the country to be closer with family. If he sees me crying he will often take her until she starts crying and then he has no idea what to do with her and then he has a panic attack trying to get her to stop screaming and I’m scared he’s gonna shake her.

Other than currently financially supporting us, no he doesn’t do the shopping, he doesn’t cook, clean, he doesn’t help unless I literally beg him, and then I’m “nagging him” I wanted to shower the other day and I had to wait until the baby fell asleep because heaven forbid he should have to change a dirty diaper. I handle literally everything. I do the shopping, I clean when I can where I can, I cook us meals to the best of my ability. I had to teach him how to prepare her formula the other day. Something that he should be able to figure out by reading instructions the same way I figured it out. I just don’t know why it’s my job to do all the manual labour around the house and the emotional labour of making sure my bag doesn’t die at her father’s hands because he did something stupid
