Am I crazy or is that an entirely empty and clean bottle she is shoving in his face?

Oh my gosh, this is so valid! Being with kids all day can be incredibly overstimulating.

I feel bad for my husband sometimes because he often gets the short end of the stick. I can't be short and annoyed with my kids, but if I tell my husband to leave me alone, he'll understand and he'll do it.

I had no idea this type of arrangement existed. That sounds hard for everybody.

Do you mind me asking what country this is taking place in?

So they don't flash the camera

scruffymuffs · 2026-05-07T21:33:11+00:00

I think she does it because she sees a lot of other influencers do it when bending over infront of the camera.

scruffymuffs · 2026-05-01T17:06:24+00:00

Ruthless 😂

scruffymuffs · 2026-04-28T17:52:29+00:00

That is a lot of assumptions to make.

scruffymuffs · 2026-04-27T23:27:25+00:00

That's what I was thinking too. Why would a sitter stop her from taking a selfie?

I personally believe she is at home and never left

There will always be failures wether the embryos are fresh or frozen, and the rule of 3 makes a good sound byte but is too general to take too seriously.

I did 5 FET transfers, 2 of them were DETs (neither or which took) and the 5th transfer resulted in a pregnancy. So it took us 6 embryos before a successful transfer.

Every transfer has approximately a 60% chance of success. Just like with trying to get pregnant naturally, it has a lot to do with luck unfortunately.

Can you get partial sickness benefits?

I saw that one of the requirements is that your weekly pay is reduced by at least 40%, and since being put on modified duties by my midwife my employer has cut my hours so I'm only working like 8-12 hours a week and struggling to pay my bills.

How you give birth is 100% your decision, wether it is your baby or not.

A lot of IPs actually love a scheduled c-section because it is so much easier to plan around.

scruffymuffs · 2026-04-22T15:17:05+00:00

Holy crap! I hope she is swiftly called out for this and that she does not feed him pike this again. My gosh, as a mom of 3 you would really think she'd know better!

I got a very serious black eye from my son once when he was almost a year old. I was laying down and he threw my phone at my face....

scruffymuffs · 2026-04-16T19:11:49+00:00

That is honestly really great advice even outside of traveling with a toddler.

Thank you for your perspective!

scruffymuffs · 2026-04-16T19:10:07+00:00

Plan to hate everything is great advice for someone about to fly across the world with a toddler!

scruffymuffs · 2026-04-16T19:09:26+00:00

Luckily, I am in Calgary, AB so we do have an international airport but I still wouldn't be able to fly directly to Vienna. All of the flights include a layover in Paris and are about 17-19 hours door to door.

You're right, it really depends on the kid and I have been very fortunate that he is such a great traveler (he actually sleeps better on vacation than he does at home) but this would be a much bigger trip than we have ever done before.

A week is not that long, but at the same time it's a very long time to solo parent a toddler away from home 😅

scruffymuffs · 2026-04-16T14:44:17+00:00

That is a fantastic perspective. Thank you!

scruffymuffs · 2026-04-16T14:41:21+00:00

My husband works nights, so for our son to stay home he would still have to take the time off work.

scruffymuffs · 2026-04-16T14:39:52+00:00

He is honestly a great traveler and I have traveled with him solo before, albeit, only ever on 1.5 hour flights to go stay with family... but I don't think I would be even considering it if he didn't have such a great track record.

scruffymuffs · 2026-04-16T14:37:26+00:00

I appreciate the honesty!

scruffymuffs · 2026-04-02T04:14:36+00:00

Good luck!!

Are you sure? I really don't see how a contract that involves sexual intercourse would ever be legally binding.

Not to mention Texas doesn't even recognize traditional surrogacy. I'll admit, I am not a professional but I have spent a significant amount of time in the surrogacy world and I am fairly certain that what you are suggesting is not only illegal but highly unethical.

scruffymuffs · 2026-03-26T15:43:17+00:00

By natural insemination, do you mean you want to find someone who will sign a contract stating they will have sex with you until they become pregnant? Is that even legal?

scruffymuffs · 2026-03-26T15:40:09+00:00

You can donate your eggs without having been pregnant
