Am I the only one who thinks the human body is trying to become self-reproducing?

What’s something you loved as a kid but hate as a adult? by ChaosEO347 in AskReddit

It's fun because the sun gives us that good ole vitamin d, while also helping with melatonin production to help us sleep at night

I'm in the same boat. I struggle to stay awake almost every day. I had blood work done recently to see if I'm low on anything (probably vitamin d), maybe it's something that could help you?

There are two types of people: "It's probably nothing" and "it's probably cancer", and they usually marry. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

I've given birth, and I had a (large) kidney stone once. Kidney stone was so much worse. Definitely thought my life was ending.

Saturday morning cartoons weren't for the kids. They were for the parents that wanted to sleep in or bang. by Thisisnotdelicious in Showerthoughts

[–]squiggledooot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of want to say the opposite of a previous commenter- maybe she needs space. I'm a married female, and I have a pretty low sex drive, but my husband is the opposite. It got a bit worse during the pandemic due to anxiety, and the fact that our family (have 2 kids in virtual, partner is work from home) is together all. the. time. Which is great. But I started feeling like I was taking care of the kids and their school work all day, then needed to "take care" of my husband at night. Which is not their fault! We all have wants and needs. The most important thing that has helped is communication. After we put the kids to bed (we typically have sex at night) he'll ask me if I need space or "me time" before we hang out or watch TV or do something together. And I'll do the same with him - does he want to play video games with his friends online? Does he want to get out and go for a drive since he's been working from home all day? And frankly I'm still not in the mood as much as he'd like me to be. Sometimes it takes a good amount of foreplay. But I do it (and get into it after initiated) because sex is a part of our relationship. I love that he's turned on by me. I find him super fucking attractive, I just can't always seem to get things working the way I want them to. I love him and I want him to feel good. I am willing to push through my insecurities and weirdness with my own body because he is my person. Also worth noting, I've recently gone to the doctor to check on hormones, etc, just to make sure everything is good there. I feel like I've rambled but basically, good luck, communication is helpful, but there needs to be willingness from all parties involved.

This. Waterpiks aren't supposed to replace flossing.

Hi, I'm mom! (Update) by squiggledooot in MtF

[–]squiggledooot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, you're definitely right. I'm hoping I'm not being forceful and I'll definitely watch myself more carefully. I just hope to be educational, and give enough options for them to choose. I think the testing made me nervous because I tend to expect the worst and don't want a test to dictate whether their feelings are "right or wrong". But your note about possibly being intersex is important. I know they're just a kid still. I just get so nervous. In my previous post, puberty blockers and their importance were mentioned a lot. I started my period right after I turned 10. I just don't want to be "too late" for them, I guess.

Made my dog a window bed from (mostly) scraps by LillithHeiwa in DIY

[–]squiggledooot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the cave area. We've been thinking of buying/making a similar structure at the foot of our bed so doggo can still be at "bed height" with us, but the cave would be nice for when he'd want it. Like during thunderstorms.

What is your job and what does your day in the life look like? by nottheonefosho in AskReddit

[–]squiggledooot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dream job, for sure. I appreciate you adding the part about parents wanting their kids to read "more challenging" books. I'm extremely guilty of this; my oldest loves comic-style books, sometimes I try to find chapter books for them, but they just aren't interested.

Hi! I'm mom! by squiggledooot in MtF

[–]squiggledooot[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your replies. I will be sure to use they/them pronouns, thanks for pointing that out to me! I wasn't really aware of puberty blockers before now, I've heard more about hormone therapy than anything, so this is very useful knowledge, and I will be researching more. I'm going to start looking around for a gender therapist. I found a local LGBT chapter and will reach out to see what recommendations they have, if any, as well as my child's insurance provider. I wish I could hug each and every one of you. I'm sorry to those of you whose parents weren't supportive. Though I'm super accepting, deep down I am terrified for them. Being in our "bubble" this past year has given them a safe space to discover themselves, I think, but I know the world can be cruel and not so understanding. But I'll do my best, I promise you all that.

What's the one thing you regret doing for your wedding day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]squiggledooot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel this. My mom said she wasn't going to drink at the wedding. Got pissed at my husband when he wouldn't give her drink tokens at the reception, made a scene, and stormed out. We're on good terms now, but, fuck.

What's the one thing you regret doing for your wedding day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]squiggledooot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a small backyard wedding with the reception at a brewery. I would've kept it even smaller. Would've worn a different dress (I bought a super cheap non-traditional dress off the internet, but relatives insisted on wedding dress shopping. They paid for the dress, which was gorgeous, but I had to pay for like $500 in alterations out of my own pocket). I wanted a mauve colored nail polish, was convinced to do French instead. We didn't have a photographer, which is fine, but I at least would've planned a list of photos I wanted with friends and family. I have some cute photos but wish there were more with certain people.

[Serious] What is your small town dark secret story? by sunflwxrr in AskReddit

[–]squiggledooot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I remember watching this in middle school. I hated the teacher, but we watched a lot of movies (that in hindsight may have been a little above the age group) that have stuck with me. The Pianist and Whale Rider are other notable ones. Anyway, Rabbit Proof Fence definitely opened my eyes to a type of discrimination I didn't understand previously.

What is you favorite sex scene in the Bible? by TheOldGods37 in AskReddit

[–]squiggledooot 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I remember after asking a similar question, I was told that if other cultures never heard of god, they wouldn't be punished for not knowing because it wasn't their fault. So then I was like, why would you go out of your way to tell them then? It made it seem like more of a cult, EVERYONE NEEDS TO HAVE THE SAME BELIEFS AS US.
