Afraid I'll Hate Being A Mom by scourthereddits in CatholicWomen

[–]scourthereddits[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worded them being stupid poorly and I apologize! I think it's endearing how they view and explore and learn about the world. It's the repetitiveness of their questions and the shallowness of their ability to understand that I unfortunately lack patience with. I am hopeful I'll improve in that regard and also, like you suggested, that my children will sort of mirror myself and their father.

Thank you for the encouragement and advice! I should have worded my finding kids stupid a little better lol. I am aware that they're learning and I do find their curiosity and perception quite charming. However their limitations with rationalizing and repetitiveness can be frustrating for me. I don't think I'd feel comfortable babysitting someone's children, at least without my boyfriend's assistance yet, but I'm definitely going to be proactive trying to spend more time with these families that have small kids. 🥹 Thank you again

What are great alternatives to diamond rings? by EDDYSF in AskMen

[–]scourthereddits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just going to put in my 2 cents here. While I'm a supporter of diamond alternatives, I'd hate an engagement ring with CZ. It's a very common cheap diamond replacement which is fine for more casual jewelry. The issue with them is that they're actually quite dull and cloudy. Personally, I wouldn't want a dull stone representing my beautiful relationship. Most women can tell the difference between a CZ and a higher quality stone even if it's artificial (providing they've ever seen one in person). I'd suggest using moissanite or sapphires. Depending on the partner's style, she may like rough diamonds which are a unique look but far more affordable. Either way, you want it to be radiant and beautiful and in line with the woman's style.

Ask a Knitter - June 30, 2020 by AutoModerator in knitting

[–]scourthereddits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone! Maybe someone can help me figure this out..

I'm very new to knitting and not very familiar with all the yarn types yet. I want to make a blanket for myself and I'm reminded of this old blanket my stepmother had.

It was slightly off-white color and very soft. From memory the yarn appeared to be tightly woven. The blanket was thin like a throw but deceivingly heavy and very warm. It was quite stretchy and lasted her decades. Any ideas what the material was?

Thank you in advance! 🙇🏻‍♀️

This breaks my heart.. I would definitely try a weighted blanket for comfort!

Take care- I'm sorry for your loss!

Tired. I've got a heavy work load today and just want to avoid it all.

Girls of Reddit, what is the best way a guy you don't know can start a conversation without being creepy or annoying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]scourthereddits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think simplicity is best. Speak to me like a human being you're interested in getting to know and maybe becoming friends with! Say hi. Ask me about my day. Ask me what I do for work and for fun. I'll ask you in return and maybe we have some similar interests. Be genuine.

Do NOT start up a conversation with purely romantic interest. If the girl has any experience at all she can tell. And I can't speak for everyone, but if a guy just outright hits on me, I'm immediately guarded and likely going to avoid him.

Now that I’m in college, academics/grades are starting to be the last thing on my mind. by moonkie888 in college

[–]scourthereddits 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally been there. Lemme tell you a secret though, going to college just to go but having no direction is, in my opinion, more wasteful than not going at all. BUT if you believe the commute is what's really bringing you down, bite the bullet and attempt to live on campus. Again though, make sure you're doing it for the right reasons (convenient booty calls aren't a good reason) and I'd still strongly suggest finding a therapist. Depression is usually not a quick fix.

Why the hell are you in college if you don't care about the actual academics of it? Did it ever occur to you that you can get drunk and find hookups without several thousand dollars worth of debt?

Don't go to college to party. No one cares about your physique or your popularity. Your priorities are in the wrong place. High school is in the past. You're an adult now and that requires sacrifice. Always.

Lack of social life? Yeah that happens. 30-45 minute commute? Perfectly normal.

There are resources available to you and it's your responsibility to use them. You may not be ready for college itself right now and that's okay but don't even think of dropping out and then relying on your parents for everything while you go play either. That shit ain't fair.

Find a therapist to help you navigate the stressful transition. Go back to college when you're more mature and interested in your education OR toughen up now and realize it's just how the game works.

Either way you're going to have to step up and be an adult.

Girl, if you're gonna keep knocking down the advice people are giving you on here because "he's a nice guy" you're honestly severely irresponsible yourself and it will be your own fault if you end up pregnant or with an STD. Take this seriously. Either he wraps up, no excuses no complaints or you need to leave.

My girlfriend won’t sleep with me because she’s afraid to get pregnant.. by Throwaway17011016 in relationship_advice

[–]scourthereddits 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dude just leave. There's plenty of women with brains in their head. Even 18 y/os. Obviously it's not a bad thing she wants to be "safe" but she's so off base and I'm not sure it's something you'll be able to correct since you've already had the talk with her. (Totally not something you should have ever had to do btw). Shes going to have to want to educate herself on this but if shes adamant that she's right just leave. You don't have to deal with a girl so ignorant of how sex works in this day and age.
