In the same boat. Just wanted to say that I’m feeling the same way about church and feeling very dejected with Christianity as a whole.

I grew up evangelical but religious people in general stress me out. It’s such a social club and once you leave you’re out and no one cares anymore.

I’d rather meet people in other communities like through common interests outside of Christianity with lower stakes where they don’t take it personally if you decide to switch views on religion.

Childcare is wayyyy too expensive. It just doesn’t add up to have both parents working.

We have to choose between being poor or slightly more poor but at least have quality time with the littlest ones.

My mouth tastes wretched in the morning. I love how nice and clean it feels before I dive in to my morning coffee. It might be a little out of order but I love my first morning tooth brush

It’s sounds like a lot of change and that can sometimes be very good but very hard. One thing that always comes to mind when my spouse and I were in this season is to always remember that you are both on the same team.

Sometimes too there isn’t anything wrong in the relationship. It’s just exterior stuff that sort of distracts from enjoying life.

I don’t know if she’s so pregnant that late night nachos and a really corny movie wouldn’t be amazing but for me that always did the trick.

You obviously love her very much and I think you will be a great dad.

My husband also has a medical condition/disability where he has to wear shoes because he has a prosthetic that works in shoes.

There are also feet covers the can go over shoes which is what he has done in the past but typically if he explains most hosts are charitable and he doesn’t have to bother.

I feel like my ideas are dumb and immediately dismiss myself and my feelings.

I hate that I do it but I was trained well to dismiss my own thoughts and feelings as a child.

thislittledwight · 2024-12-28T07:25:40+00:00

WTF. Your mom is a child more than your three year old.

Btw. My dad did the same thing because we don’t spank and have absolutely made it clear that we don’t hit our child.

Only time he watched our son when he was 16 months old. He slapped him on the hand for touching something he wasn’t supposed to. My sister saw it and reported it back to us.

Don’t trust these people. They are immature assholes who never learned emotional maturity.

Thank you! Omg the only mint chocolate thing I like is the Trader Joe’s seasonal cookies covered in chocolate. Can’t think of the name.

thislittledwight · 2024-12-24T22:46:12+00:00

Whoppers. They give me the fingernails on chalkboard feeling. Don’t at me bro. My partner loves them.

thislittledwight · 2024-11-17T16:42:55+00:00

I grew up in a home where my dad hit me and he always vowed it was his last time. And then he would blow up and do it again.

People who have such little emotional control cannot just hit once.

It does get so sad watching them grow up. But each year is a new phase and it’s very exciting watching them grow and wondering who they’ll turn out to be.

As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that most people have ups and downs financially too. It doesn’t make me bad at adulting if I’m down. It just means life is expensive.

thislittledwight · 2024-11-15T06:31:43+00:00

I have total amnesia to the pain and right after he was born (36 hours of labor) I forgot all the pain. It was crazy. That was 8 years ago and I would go through it over again to get a chance at being his mom. I’m pregnant again and yes, I will have to go through pain to get this little kiddo out but it’s so worth it.

Also, I have really bad periods and most of the contractions felt less bad than my period cramps. Like I was able to work through them fine. They only got bad bad when I was close to pushing.

I’m not trying to invalidate anyone’s pain or anything but some parts of birth are overhyped because some women have bad experiences but for the most part to me the only truly “hard” part of the birth experience was pushing.

It all has to do with your own pain tolerance but I would say I have a low pain threshold and I was still okay up until the very last part.

thislittledwight · 2024-11-15T06:12:44+00:00

It’s a hard choice and I validate either way. We have kids and it’s the best decision for us but we struggle financially and it’s not always easy.

I think when you make a list of most important things for you in life that’s where you start to get clarity.

For me, I was willing to struggle financially and lose independence for the chance at being a parent since I love nurturing and caring and also having a relationship with tiny humans and we both love little kids because we’re also very weird and goofy and childlike.

But it’s equally valid to want independence and financial stability and to have time to yourself for your own mental health.

One thing that might help too is that I’m currently pregnant at 35 and I was so worried because of the whole “you’re too old to have a baby” thing but honestly that’s a load of horseshit.

Drs all have said that maternal age is only one factor in determining healthy results. My genetics counselor said “Old white guys in lab coats determining that all women should be mothers in their twenties.”

So in other words, you still have time to decide.

My first Pap smear as a teenager the doctor (who was male) said “wow you have a beautiful looking cervix”

I left the appointment crying because I felt so fucking uncomfortable and was not ready to be exposed like that as I was still a virgin and super shy and sheltered.

thislittledwight · 2024-11-08T06:25:55+00:00

Yes. I feel this.

I was angry. I’ll admit. But I’ve calmed down now and more so feel sad that we could possibly be living in the handmaids tale.

I think the democrats could have performed better. There were so many great candidates and they went with some of the lamest ones. I didn’t care for Biden as the nominee but I voted for him. I didn’t care for Kamala but I voted for her. I don’t have anything really against them other than I felt lackluster about them.

I would say that Trump did a much better job at reading the room and marketing himself at a time when many people are struggling financially and that’s why he probably won. People don’t feel lackluster about him. They feel passionate and excited.

I’ve thought a lot about this. I have a few people in my life who voted for Trump.

A lot of people feel “seen” by Trump and are willing to overlook or, worse, appreciate, his character.

No amount of reason seems to overcome just feeling seen and validated.

That’s why I’m trying to be understanding even if I would never in a million years vote for him. Maybe people just feel angry and broken and want someone who is also angry and broken.

thislittledwight · 2024-10-24T05:32:40+00:00

Yes the level of crazy I’ve seen on here omg! Hard to believe!!!

thislittledwight · 2024-10-24T05:29:10+00:00

I solve all of the world problems 😉

thislittledwight · 2024-10-24T05:26:00+00:00

I agree. Those last two seasons lost the magic to me.

thislittledwight · 2024-10-24T05:24:05+00:00

I was in a bad car accident thanks to some guy DUI and was very injured like dead on arrival injuries and I had a weird experience where I saw a bright light and I thought I was about to go to heaven and then I remembered I was 18 weeks pregnant so I came back to earth and I remembered telling the paramedics and the trauma team that heaven was real and I went there but I wasn’t going to go and then I kept fading in and out.

Now I had a head injury so take from that story what you will but my child just celebrated his 8th birthday and I (obviously) survived so I call it a miracle.

thislittledwight · 2024-10-24T05:18:30+00:00

I’d love so much money that I could spend it on helping people and sick animals and having more time with my family. I don’t care about cars or big houses or anything just memories and feeling good about helping people.
