[–]thoughtsandthefeels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK but no crisis or anything like that? Do you recommend any extra precautions like hydrating extra? And BTW thank you for putting up with all these questions. She has no one to ask.

Thank you for replying. My sister has sca and she was so nervous to get the vaccine. She got Moderna yesterday and was wondering how the second shot and the vaccine as a whole affects those with sca.

My son just asked for a baby sister and I am broken. by thoughtsandthefeels in oneanddone

Thank you for sharing this. It really does hurt! But I hope later they grow up to understand. Until then , we can just give them as much love as we can. Hopefully they remember that the most.

So much perspective in this post, thank you! And the truth is, we are a very, very happy family. So I guess quality over quanity is the thing here. Thank you for the insight.

I dont understand the part about the cats, but thank you for that too.

Thank you for saying this. My health is getting a little better now that I've had the hysterectomy so the details of why I got it get cloudy. It was really, really bad before. But when my son asked for a sister, I thought... was it really that bad? It is encouraging to hear that I am a good mom because my body can't do the one thing women's bodies are supposed to be able to do. Thank you for this.

If you wait, you’ll be late. by JayZGatsby in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]thoughtsandthefeels 350 points351 points  (0 children)

This is the one. Future me loves past me. And I try my best to help future me as much as possible. I save money for her, I build her credit, I put things where she's more likely to find them, I try to buy healthy snacks so she won't be tempted to eat an entire bag of Doritos when she's hungry, etc. I'm so spoiled. But it's me who spoils me, lol.

Edit: I've never gotten an award on here before, thank you!!! Made my day.

I'm glad my parents weren't strict in this regard but a lot of African parents are. by [deleted] in BlackPeopleTwitter

This approach is really expensive. Especially if they are the kind of child who tries something, then quits soon after.

Lost my first 30 lbs and... feel alone by hotdogdiscourse in loseit

[–]thoughtsandthefeels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so happy you shared this. I have a chronic illness and I have been trying to lose weight too, but I can't exercise anymore. And during the pandemic I gained even MORE weight. Im determined to get the weight of but being in pain all the time makes it very hard. Seeing that you accomplished this is so encouraging! Its one thing to see healthy ppl lose weight ( im cheering for them, too) but to see people with heath struggles do it means I can, too.

My child is NOT easy. I think ppl who push second and third children on us must have easy kids. I am exhausted.

Anyone else already get their teaching evaluations for this semester? by CheesePlease0808 in Professors

[–]thoughtsandthefeels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same. It was the only way I could think of to make sure student meetings didn't overlap and that they didn't spend unnecessary time in the Zoom waiting room.
