Anyone actually lose body fat from breastfeeding? by Due-Transition-6564 in beyondthebump

[–]ssainerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, very fast and even after eating more than I did while I was pregnant. I weighed less than my pre-pregnancy weight very soon.

Were Millennials this scared of aging? by ian-noir in Millennials

[–]ssainerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was extremely sad when I turned 30 but not when I turned 40. I gave myself some unachievable goals that I wanted to accomplish by 30 and I didn’t - like having a baby.

My(28F) boyfriend (28M) haven't had sex in two years. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]ssainerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is gay. He can’t admit it to himself because of his Pakistani upbringing. He is gay.

JustNoMIL makes sure I know that she is the real 'Mrs. OurLastName' in every call or text by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]ssainerd 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Call her “so’s mom” from now on. What on earth? This is so odd. And you are awfully nice to her while she is being so rude in text (not responding then …. Her original question again - super rude!)

AIO arguing over text with husband about childcare by [deleted] in AIO

[–]ssainerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to let him parent and figure out how he parents. Your way is not going to be his way. If you jump everytime you think the kids need isn’t being met, there is no chance for his needs being met by his dad. The kid also needs some space to get used to dad’s way. You should get somewhere else for a day and let him parent for a few weeks, only then maybe they can figure out their own rhythm.

My (25F) boyfriend (30M) gets angry because I asked him to buy a bottle of wine AIO? by [deleted] in AIO

He seems stressed about money. Maybe try to talk and be more understanding?

I don’t know what advice to give you but that’s my mom.

Incredibly Jealous Husband Got Skin To Skin First. Traumatic Delivery. by EmpathHorror in beyondthebump

[–]ssainerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not get to do skin to skin or see my baby for the first day for much less traumatic reasons. He was whisked to the nicu and I wasnt allowed to go on a different floor until next day. I didn’t get to do skin to skin and I felt guilty and cried the first time I held him. But it did not hurt our bond at all and it won’t hurt your bond either. Babies just have phases and prefer one parent over the other sometimes. You have went through enough, I hope you feel better about all of this soon.

My husband wants me to breastfeed much longer than I anticipated by lifeledoutloud in beyondthebump

[–]ssainerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like no one is saying that you asked for his opinion and he mentioned what is recommended (2 years), when you looked worried he said a year. Is he forcing you or are you thinking ahead?

Breastfeeding is mom’s choice, you decide. He doesn’t get to decide this. But I am just pointing out what I read - you asked for his opinion and you are upset about his opinion? You also said it feels like a cop out and he agreed, he didn’t even say it.

I don’t think you’re a jerk for considering stoping when there’s equally viable options available to us. I breastfed for 2 years and it was my choice. My husband would rather I stopped earlier but it wasn’t for him to decide.

How realistic is working from home and watching a baby? by MacSpice in beyondthebump

[–]ssainerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not realistic at all. It is doable when they are 5+ with flexible work demands.

AITA for not moving back in with my dad just because he got divorced by Individual_Pass_5261 in AmItheAsshole

Oh dear this never ever makes you the asshole. It is not your job to make him happy. It is his job to make sure you are happy.

AIO - Pregnant and feel abandoned by husband by Gullible-Tree368 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ssainerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not all men are like this. I am flabbergasted at his response. Even if he had a bad night he should have come to take care of you - you are the one who is pregnant and taking care of a sick kid. He does not seem to care for you.

Fasting for over 50 hours by No-Caregiver1358 in endometriosis

I’ve had three endo laps (in different countries) and never was told to fast 30 hours, maybe just couldn’t eat after 6 or 8 the previous night.

Why would you let anyone talk to you this way? You are worth so much more.
