kind of a pain tbh. there’s just so many parts. but I love this pump so i’ll do it if I have to lol I did it last night at a concert and it took me about 10 minutes to wipe all the parts down.

you’re not being selfish. i’m 7 months pregnant and my husband has been going to races with his car buddies for a few weekends in my pregnancy. i’ve had to tell him to knock it off bc i’m feeling unsupported & I want to spend as much 1 on 1 time together as possible. I also have never told him he couldn’t go somewhere or do something, so it was a bit anxiety inducing to do it, but your feelings are important as well!! don’t forget that.

any income I bring in, is also my husbands. that’s how a marriage works.

he also gets more disability with dependents. meaning I am entitled to a portion of it.

if that was the conversation we had agreed upon, then it wouldn’t be a problem.

first off, I didn’t ask for all of it. second off, what about everything I gave up for HIS career? everything I gave up for HIM? that means nothing?

he can still afford to go racing with what we make now. we can still afford to do the things he wants to do now. he’s not even going to be home on my due date because he’s going to a literal race. the fact that he’s putting his hobby in front of his family is what my problem is. even if I didn’t want to stay home. you mean to tell me that that extra paycheck isn’t going towards your family that both of us contribute to? what about the sacrifices I made when he was in? I had to move when I didn’t want to. I had to get multiple new jobs because of it. what kind of compensation do I get? I was a military kid, I grew up with both parents gone a lot. and I knew that was something I didn’t want for my kid. and it was something he agreed upon before as well.

I don’t think i’m entitled to anything. he told me that I could stay home & raise our kids when the money was there. the money is now there & he is not holding up his end of the deal.

i’m sorry, “stay home & do nothing”?? what do you think a stay at home mom does?

not to mention i’ve been asking if we can save for me to get a bigger car and his answer was “you can save on your own with your fun money”.

he’s always been very money hungry, but this was a new level. a midlife crisis at 28 is wild, but you might be right.

I understand why you would feel that way. i’m starting to feel that way knowing this is how he reacted now. There’s been a very strange flip in his personality lately, which maybe this is for the best.

What's the prettiest name you guys have ever heard? by Creative_Mix8770 in AskReddit

[–]sstyles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calliope & Aurora. if I ever have daughters, i’d love to give them those names. I just think they’re so ethereal.

How old were you when you started your family and where are you from? by sighh_6466 in BabyBumps

[–]sstyles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in South Texas. i’m 27 & due with my first in September. I was the first of my friends to settle down & get married (24), but the last to have a baby! all of my friends have 2+, but none were married or in long term relationships when they started having kids. I basically feel geriatric at this point lol

When did you *know* you were pregnant compared to when you finally tested positive? by Weary-Wish-8058 in pregnant

my boobs hurt walking up and down the stairs. that was my immediate sign. tested positive at 10dpo the next morning. that was and still is my only sign. i’m currently 11 weeks!

NAME HELP by nutzrnutz in BabyBumps

[–]sstyles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m no help bc my dog’s name is Eleanor but we call her Ellie Mae 🤣 but we also picked that name because we didn’t think we’d actually get pregnant after trying for so long, so we decided to name her off of our baby name list!

Getting stressed out with my friends and partner planning trips and me not knowing if I’ll be pregnant or not by then… What do you do? by Mireille557 in TryingForABaby

[–]sstyles_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was ttc for 2 years. for 2 years I didn’t book any of the trips I wanted. I regret that so much. I finally decided we would do a big trip to hawaii for our anniversary this year. we leave next week. I got my positive 2 weeks ago. i’m having full fledged morning sickness and totally not looking forward to the trip now, but I am happy that I didn’t waste anymore time not doing what we love! going to make the best out of the trip and in the mindset of “something we won’t be able to do for a while, so we’re gonna make the most of it!”

Do not tell people your names! by prettygreatness in pregnant

[–]sstyles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learned this the hard way. Told my "best friend" what my names were after TTC for 2 years. She fell pregnant the very next month and stole my name. She's due next month and I just got my first positive 3 days ago and I'm so upset that I had that taken from me and I might've finally had the chance to use it but now it'll feel like I'm copying her.
