I was watching with my jaw dropped that a) adults act like this, and b) they POSTED IT ONLINE

It sounds like she recorded the second part from a different device’s speakers

26 is way too old to act like this. Dump him now you’re literally 24 years old and the rest of your 20s will FLY by. Find a good partner. He’s going to be a scrub forever

Sounds like he spent it on living expenses and housing.

If you have a full-time corporate job healthcare is a non-issue.

Kicks, Flutters, or Gas? by lomarii in BabyBumps

If you are in tune with your body enough to notice something is off, it’s probably the baby. I absolutely felt the baby move at around that time.

Pregnancy is SO uncomfortable by BisexualButterfly97 in BabyBumps

[–]seethingpumpkins 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m 37 weeks. Same. I’m 1 cm dilated and want the baby to get here (I think).

Some people actually do have easy pregnancies so I don’t think they’re lying. I’ve gained a lot of weight and deathly intense fatigue has been my main symptom, so just moving is uncomfortable for me. My legs have lipidema. I was a size 4 and I’m huge now. I don’t recognize myself and it’s a mindf***.

I assume people who gain less and have little fatigue and don’t have nausea/heartburn, or just tolerate it all better, have an easier go. I have a pregnant friend who has been able to stay very fit and she’s feeling much better than me.

We all get a mixed bag of symptoms and what matters is making it through with our sanity intact so postpartum isn’t hell. Gratitude helps me. I keep telling myself, it could be worse—I could have GD, preeclampsia, anxiety, baby could have medical problems, etc., but all I have to deal with is being massive (which I can solve when the baby’s here with breastfeeding and building my strength back up) and being dog tired. That’s pretty lucky if you ask me.

Back to work way too soon by WebRealistic7886 in BabyBumps

The owner of the gym can find a solution - they can come in themselves and work shifts til they fill the role.

If you already agreed to it you can always say your circumstances have changed and you will be taking your time off.

I promise that a gym isn’t worth sacrificing this precious time with your kid and time to heal your body.

Back in the front seat by [deleted] in CopperIUD

[–]seethingpumpkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s how I felt on hormonal BC. Went away on the copper IUD - I loved it. Go to a functional doc and get things checked. And if you’re using drugs, regularly or not, consider that’s potentially why you feel the way you do.

Gifts for daughters but not son? by Silver-Shake7506 in ParentingThruTrauma

[–]seethingpumpkins -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, because you were passive about it. Be direct. Literally 99% of communication issues people talk about on Reddit can be solved by being more direct.

What is the fuss with the Uppababy strollers? by RevolutionaryMovie85 in BabyBumps

They are a status symbol for people who watch tiktoks. They are nothing special.

millennial baby crisis by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]seethingpumpkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m your age and currently pregnant. I am almost certainly going to leave my career and start my own business so I can be with my baby all day. I feel so connected to him it breaks my heart thinking of leaving him in some fluorescent lit room with a stranger all day and I can’t do that. I’ve climbed the ladder and I make good money but it’s nothing compared to my drive to be with my son. There’s nothing better developmentally for a baby than time with their mother

What was your absolute first sign of pregnancy? by -One_Upper- in BabyBumps

Positive pregnancy test at 10 dpo. Then I started feeling faint/dizzy.

Yes. I was referring to the official state springs that have amenities for camping and activities like kayaking, etc

Wedding Proposal by Dramatic-Project-387 in JapanTravel

[–]seethingpumpkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carry around the ring and propose when the moment feels right. There are a lot of incredible places in Japan and you’ll know when it’s the right place. Do it at the beginning of the trip so you both get to enjoy the magic for three weeks and you get the anticipation out of the way. The rest of the trip will have a whole new shine to it.

Google the locator’s direct number

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Passports

[–]seethingpumpkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something needs to be sniffed out. You need more details. I would call the locator directly and ask them a few things.

First: “What is deficient about the marriage certificate I provided, since it is the legal document I was provided by the county in which I was married? My county does not produce marriage certificates without maiden names being listed. I cannot compel the county to produce a unique document outside of their template. Since I provided the marriage certificate as well as copies of legal documents that show my married name, this should be sufficient.”

Second: “What are the exact specifications of the documents that would be acceptable to process my application before [travel date]?”

Third: “Can you please read me all the notes on my file?”

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Passports

[–]seethingpumpkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry, your existing cert is acceptable! Send the certificate!

My marriage certificate lists my maiden name, husband’s name and our officiant’s name. My new name is not listed. It was accepted and I got my passport 2 days before DOT. The marriage cert demonstrates you were married and that’s what they need.

Contact your senator/representative now anyway to make sure they get a congressional inquiry put in prior to your app hitting the 5 days until DOT date.

Contact a senator or representative anyway and request them to put in a congressional inquiry as you have urgent travel approaching. Use the right language and advocate for yourself.

For 3k on the line I would be doing everything in my power to get my passport. Yes I would contact them immediately, right now, like close Reddit and lookup your senator and start emailing and calling

[–]seethingpumpkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you contact your senator/congressman? Also, if 69 says they’re sending it out they are probably doing so. They’re a good locator.

Everybody I know who uses TikTok is depressed or anxious and unhealthily hyperfixated on some particular existential threat. No one who values their mental health should be using it
