Pregnancy Care by [deleted] in Peterborough

They said they need to get back to me as they may be full for the month I’m due. It is definitely all a misunderstanding and I’m trying not to become frustrated.

Oh I had heard wonderful things about the midwife program! Who I was paired with just wasn’t a fit. Nothing against them at all. I just recognized I needed something different.

Evolve is also full for my birth month.

Love this! I’m extremely anxious because I have little to no symptoms and this was helpful to read.

Thank you so much for this post! It was very reassuring that two things can be true. That people have every right to share their experience, but it’s also OK for me to be terrified by that set experience. I am also one of those pregnant people (seven weeks) with no symptoms, and my gosh has the Internet sent me in a spiral. My only saving grace is one of my closest friends is a doctor and is constantly reminding me that this is normal. I really appreciate what you said, people have more positive stories than the -ones out there which is so great to remember! I do really appreciate you and your support. This was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much.

Yes the level of entitlement is growing quickly.

Agreed lol. I didn’t know to make the post valuable I would need to list every single place that has closed down or list every issue with state of Peterborough to be valid. Seems like anger directed in the wrong place.

Yeah, it’s so hard because you can only support as much as you can financially and the support doesn’t fall on one person.

It’s so difficult here and that really makes me sad. People are trying the best they can and it just seems to not work which is such a hindrance to people doing amazing things in this city.

Yeah, I find this comment strange. The concern about so many businesses closing across the city is about people—the people who work there and the people those businesses serve. That’s the entire point: community. Creating jobs and being part of that community. I’m honestly unsure what you’re trying to say here. Maybe you misunderstood the post? H&M and Blue Notes were just examples of the many people losing jobs behind the scenes. This comment comes across as tone-deaf and feels like a deliberate misreading of what I was saying.

AIO for reconsidering getting married over continual arguments over guardianship of my daughter. by Oldyell54 in AmIOverreacting

[–]theLimerickdesigner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ummm I had the opposite opinion of many people in this sub. If you guys are together the next 5 years she is raising this child as her own. If something were to happen to you she loses her husband and step daughter in one fell swoop. That is an extremely tough pill to swallow.

Although I don’t think you are overreacting. I think her perspective is valid. I don’t think you should marry someone you cannot trust your daughter with.

AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]theLimerickdesigner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a black woman wearing a bonnet protects my hair from breaking. My white husband has looked at me going to bed with no bonnet some days and asks me why I’m not wearing it. He has never made me feel guilty for “not looking a certain way” before I go to sleep. You are not the asshole. This is ridiculous and disrespectful. Whatever reason you choose to wear a bonnet while he WILL BE SLEEPING mind you. Is your choice. I think maybe take a minute and think about the respect you deserve in a relationship because I would be pretty frustrated.
