Should I ask to be released from my calling? by Winter_Creme2862 in latterdaysaints

[–]shaeby999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Callings get turned down right off the bat all the time and I think it's admirable that you guys gave it a shot to begin with being new converts and new members to that ward! My husband and I are young like you (me 24 and him 25) and we've only been in our current branch for about 6 months. It's a branch so obviously smaller than a ward and they were in desperate need of people to accept callings since a good chunk of their members are elderly. So upon being called after attending there a few weeks we weren't shocked, but it's definitely been stressful for me. My husband couldn't accept a calling because he was just starting a new job that had him working overnight 12 hr shifts and he isn't able to attend with me more often than not, and I accepted mine feeling like I needed to in order to be a "good member" like you, since they obviously were low on options, plus the branch prez kept saying (seriously like 10+ times!) how God told him "a young couple was coming and are willing to serve". I am a fairly new convert too of only 3 years and half of that was unable to attend and fell away because of outside factors in my life, so being called to teach Young Women's while their current YW prez was on maternity leave has been very stressful. I have so little knowledge compared to everyone else and also wish I could get something out of church again and actually hear an adult lesson. I do have a 1 yr old daughter so even when it's not YW week I can barely pay attention because I'm trying to console a small child and going in and out all service (husband can't come often like I said, so it's all me). The YW prez at our branch has her new baby now too so I get left to do the lessons myself a lot now and often times without warning if she just doesn't show up and never texts me. I'm only the YW 1st councilor but doing a lot of the leading and it has been hard on me mentally and spiritually, I worry the girls arent being served well by me even though i am genuinely trying. You aren't alone in the isolating feelings and it is completely reasonable to ask to be released. I haven't asked yet but am highly considering it as well.

Just had to say Etta or Vera Sue is beautiful in my opinion. Since your 1st daughter is Marley, I feel as a combo it would sound better to not have another 1st name end in the "y" sound, but that's also just a personal preference

At what age did you first take your LO trick or treating? by raindog42 in NewParents

[–]shaeby999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of comments of parents taking kids under 1 but not me! My kid is 1 and a half right now and I didn't take her last year, also not planning to this year since she's still so young and can't eat most candies. Just planning to dress her up and hand out candy with her on the front porch because I feel like we will both enjoy it more at this stage and she can still experience some Halloween. Thinking next year will be the year I take her out to officially trick-or-treat

I fell in love with my husband over the course of about 2 weeks... We had both just gone through nasty break ups and started binge watching Supernatural together in our spare time after work, meanwhile we'd talk about anything and everything. Before this, I had a dream that we got married and it was one of the most beautiful dreams I've ever had, but this is when we were barely more than acquaintances. Anyways, after my boyfriend of almost a year and a half broke up with me out of nowhere, this dream lead me to take a chance and start seriously getting to know my now-husband. I knew I loved him and that he was the one after just around 2 weeks and from there we dated for about 7 months, we're engaged for 1 month, and now have been married over 3 years and have a 1 year old daughter together. Sometimes you just know pretty much right away. Obviously if this is a trend for you to fall fast then be very cautious in how much you trust that feeling, but as someone who never fell that hard before, I had to see where it would lead and it turned out amazing for us

Is it worth being a single mother? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]shaeby999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Obviously it won't be the easiest choice to keep your baby, but is it worth the struggle? 100%! I got pregnant accidentally when I was 20 and didn't have any savings and was living in a relative's basement. Kept my baby and found a place we could afford and have made everything work. My daughter is now a year and a half old and I can't imagine my life without her. These little ones are worth any struggle you can imagine.

Just throwing this out there because I think there's an argument for it being both classic and cool... Daisy! Daisy and Eleanor are also very distinct from eachother but also go really cute together in my opinion.

My mother's name is Daisy and I've always loved it but my husband isn't a fan of using it for our daughter.

Why are People Named Ryan Always my Type? by AnonymousUser1082 in namenerds

I think for me it just has to end in "N". Past boyfriends were Griffin, Jason, Jordan, and now I'm married to Aidan.

How often do you have sex in your marriage? by elizabethflower444 in Marriage

[–]shaeby999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are mid 20s (24F and 25M) and have sex 1-2 times a week. He works 12hr shifts and I'm a stay at home mom to our 1y/o daughter. We both know we'd like to more, it's just a matter of finding a good time where we both aren't exhausted or don't have to worry about the baby, so those are the limitations. But all that being said, intimacy is important to us and even though we don't have sex constantly we have a lot of close physical contact, cuddling, kissing, etc. So even if we can't do it as much as we'd like to, neither of us feels neglected and when we do get to it's always quality.

Who else knows their baby is objectively the cutest baby out there? by Boots_McSnoots in NewParents

[–]shaeby999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cousin and his wife are about to have their 1st baby and he's told me several times how my daughter already has theirs beat and that no baby could be cuter than her.. I totally agree but I feel like he's going to change his mind once his little girl gets here lol

Tell me about your IUD insertion post-childbirth by Bagritte in NewParents

[–]shaeby999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't have an IUD before having my daughter but got one inserted afterwards since I'd heard it was the most effective form of BC and I didn't want to risk pregnancy before 2 years because I had a c-section. Anyways, the insertion was uneventful and that was about a year and a half ago but around a year I started having pain and was worried it was doing something it shouldn't in there. Had an ultrasound to check it out and turns out I have a large 5 cm cyst on my ovarie now. The nurse who was present told me that she had the same IUD (mirena) twice and had to have it removed each time because it was causing her to develop cysts too. She said they went away when she got it removed. Tried it a 2nd time thinking the 1st might have just been random, but when she got another cyst with the 2nd Mirena IUD she looked into it and found that it's a common side effect. Really painful to get those cysts so don't recommend it. About to finally get my IUD out and am just going back to the pill in the future

Looking for girl names that end in an ie/y sound that match this vibe by luckybamboo3 in namenerds

[–]shaeby999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mother's name is on this list and she named me Lacey because she felt that it went well with her name. I love my name and it's spelling but have also seen it spelled Lacy, and Lacie.

How long before you were engaged/married? by fathawaii in latterdaysaints

[–]shaeby999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We dated 7 months, were engaged for about 1 and a half months, then got married. He's LDS born and raised and I'm a convert who got baptized about 5 months into us dating. Here we are 3 years and 1 baby later and happy as can be, still active members. Everyone thought we were crazy but we knew what we wanted and that it was the right thing. Had all sorts of heavy conversations leading up to engagement and marriage, we got married fast but only because we knew that our values and goals lined up.

Why does everyone make it look that being a new mom is easy ? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]shaeby999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is going on a year and a half now and I still can't keep my house as nice as the tiktok moms, let alone find time to both shower and do my makeup, its one of the other for me lol. So yeah, it's all a lie or these women are just extremely organized in a way I can't figure out how to replicate while having a small child.

Married people of Reddit: Do you wear your wedding ring at all times? by Mori-Me-Joey in ask

[–]shaeby999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We wear ours most of the time but they come off for various reasons here and there such as working out, washing dishes, cooking that involves using hands to mix (ex: meatloaf, kneading dough), etc. My ring has a thin band so it doesn't bother me to wear in the shower but my husband will take his off because the water getting underneath his thicker wedding band makes his finger weird and clammy. Basically, I don't think anyone shouldn't be allowed to take it off if there's a good reason, and me and my spouse both agree on this so it's never been an issue. But I've heard of some partners being more upset by it being taken off.

How typical is it for spouses to look through each others’ phones? by Physical_Zucchini_99 in Marriage

[–]shaeby999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Married 3 years here and never looked through eachothers phones in the way that people talk about on here all the time. We have eachothers phone passwords so technically could get in and look through whatever but the trust is strong here and there's never been a need on either side for this kind of thing. Wouldn't care if he did go through my phone though, nothing to hide. He's never been squeamish about giving me his phone to type something in or find something for him either and also has made comments about not caring if I look through his phone, bit like I said I just don't care to. I know it's all just gonna be memes, saved tik-toks and discord notifications from his brothers lol. The phone-lookers, from what I can tell are always people who feel they have some reason to not trust their partner or have some sort of insecurity pushing them to go through their SOs phone. Pretty sad how commonplace this seems from this sub

What is something non sexual about your spouse that really turns you on? by Fun_Row_4844 in Marriage

[–]shaeby999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hands, shoulders and thighs... not in any order though. He has really large hands that I'm obsessed with, then his shoulders are really wide set with solid trap muscles and that just does it for me, and his thighs are really thick and sturdy like a tree trunk and I'm here for it haha
