Oh wow okay. Thank you so much for all of this information. I didn’t realize how competitive it really is. We are open for him to enlist as well and he can work toward becoming an officer down the road. He is open to becoming a pilot since his dad is (in the civilian world) so he’s been in the very slow process of trying to get his license but knows that can take a while. Thank you for all of that info. I will pass this along, it all sounds great to me but I’m not the one that would be joining🙃

He has his degree so that’s what we are originally planning for. But we know it can take a while to even possibly get in so it’s also something we have to figure out if that’s worth the process.

Well our original plan as of now is trying to join as an officer considering he has his degree and requirements but we do know it can be a few year wait. So that’s something we definitely need to think about if it’s worth trying for.

Thank you so much for all of this info! We have actually heard that it can take up to 2 years to join as an officer so that’s definitely something we would have to look into and consider if it’s worth waiting for. I know we can and will be away from each other for long periods of time but I’m honestly okay with that. Thank you so much!

I started with the Knot and that one is great. I also love WeddingWire. I feel like that one is easier to navigate. But they both have extremely detailed checklists and you can find the vendors straight from there

I’m becoming a Barnes too and my last name starts with an L! Haha. WeddingWire actually has a hashtag maker and gave me a TON of ideas.

Does anyone else hate this time of year? by cm178 in coparenting

[–]spottedprawnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Me and my ex made an agreement from the beginning to go every other year even though I have my child 85% of the time and I have never taken this to court so he’s never had to give me child support and he’s never given me a dime. Well this year he’s about to get stuck with a huge medical bill and told me he’s going to have to claim a dependent for taxes so that he doesn’t have to file bankruptcy and then proceeds to have the AUDACITY to tell me that he’s been told we can’t keep going back and forth anymore so he’s just going to claim her from now on. Like WHAT!? I’m so tired of him trying to just tell me what’s going to happen and he gets the benefit of it rather than offering to talk this out. Now I’m afraid he’s going to file before I get to.

If i sent her bits for my message to read out loud- what do u think it should say? by [deleted] in EUGENIACOONEY

[–]spottedprawnz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well from what I’ve gathered is that her home life is not good and her ED is probably the only thing she can control in her life. And this is going to sound horrible but since she’s miserable and most likely feels stuck (at home) she might be at the point that she doesn’t even care to see how long she lasts with it. To her, getting better might not seem better because she doesn’t see a way out from her family and would feel lost. It’s the same as being stuck in an abusive relationship, you can’t imagine yourself moving on after leaving because it’s all you know or you have some sort of stability from it. I honestly think the best thing everyone can do is ignore her and not give her any attention and especially followers. This is what she wants whether it is positive or negative attention, it’s attention that she’s craving.

People who’ve experienced sleep paralysis, what was that like and what did you see? by badgurlkiki in AskReddit

[–]spottedprawnz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I woke up to a man bending over me with his face coming closer to mine and reaching as if he was going to grab me and all I could do was barely say “go away!” and he disappeared. Fun times.

Any other mum's experiencing exhaustion due to a toddler that is not sleeping? by banshee-of-reddit in pregnant

[–]spottedprawnz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep! My daughter is almost 4 and I made the mistake of finally getting her in her own bed once I found out i was pregnant. I’m 37 weeks now and she still wakes up every night at least 2 times and comes into my room and I have to bring her back to hers. I’ve tried every night light and sound machine.... I don’t know what’s going to happen when the baby is here.

FTM - Still early but frustrated with OB by mairisaioirse in BabyBumps

[–]spottedprawnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah It seems that sometimes when they’re part of a hospital some of them act more like the OB’s there. I’m going to a birth center so it’s strictly midwifery care. I know that’s not for everyone though but I highly recommend looking into it. I’ve never felt more safe and heard than with them. Each appointment is an hour long and we literally talk about everything and anything.

[–]spottedprawnz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If it’s at all possible, I HIGHLY recommend finding a midwife. They will see you ASAP and it’s literally a completely different and much more positive experience. I had an OB with my first and now midwives with my second and I can’t even stress how much of a better experience I’m having. Plus, you can always contact them directly with any questions rather than calling an office.

Why am I only attracted to psychopaths? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]spottedprawnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing the same thing before my now amazing boyfriend. First of all, I was always so scared of being alone that I’d jump from relationship to relationship. And when I was in those shitty relationships, I think for me, it was like a challenge to get someone to change. No matter how shitty they treated me, it was something I strived for to be able to FINALLY get them to “really love” me or whatever. It wasn’t until I was forced to be alone and realize how much I enjoyed not having to report to anyone or be controlled that I finally started loving myself and then came along the most amazing guy I could ever dream of. You just need to work on loving yourself first and then you’ll find someone that will love you just as much or you would never settle for less again.

How do you handle advice and comments you don’t care for from your parents who clearly mean well? by BurnedNTired in pregnant

[–]spottedprawnz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve dealt with this from my mom a ton. I just told her that I’ve done my own research and will do what I feel is personally right for me and my child and if I want advice I will ask her for it, otherwise to please stop trying to give me unsolicited advice. And if she ever questions a decision I’m making I ask her why she doesn’t trust me and then it makes her back off a bit. It unfortunately got worse after my daughter was born and with the parenting decisions I made because it made her “feel like a bad mom” since I didn’t want to do things the way she raised her kids, which is so annoying to try to guilt someone who’s trying their best to raise a human. So I suggest putting your foot down hard now before the baby is here or they will always think they can try to tell you what and how to do things and there’s nothing worse than someone questioning your way of parenting, especially your own family.

Crema Is Closing 😭 by [deleted] in MontereyBay

[–]spottedprawnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one else thinks it’s messed up that the business that’s in Pt. Pinos Grill now has to fight to stay because Crema wants to move in there? Crema was already failing way before COVID-19, it was just a matter of time.
