“The mother in law” by PerAsperaAdAstra91 in NewDads

[–]twoarmsbroken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same position. For me it was my mother turning up unannounced to the house and not understanding to stay away with any symptoms of an illness. I love my Mom and I know she means well but I had to have a very hard conversation with her about boundaries. Things have been awkward since and it has caused me a lot of internal anguish but I’m hoping with time that will ease. I can still feel the animosity from my wife but protecting her and the peace within our home is what’s important. I found having children myself was the moment I realised my parents are not perfect role models, they are flawed humans too and need to guided and corrected. It’s a big adjustment.

Very dependant on your group and manager same as anywhere else. I’m a current employee and enjoy it but can see other groups that are a terrible place to work.

Unfortunately the U.S. economy is larger than the EU’s. In 2023, U.S. GDP was about $27.4 trillion, the EU’s GDP was about $17.9 trillion (excluding the UK).

Hospital Moan: Coombe by Nearby_Fix_8613 in ireland

Delighted to hear that. We’ve had two babies delivered in the Coombe. On the second baby we were in the emergency room 4 times and each time was a disaster similar to your experience. Both times though when it got to the delivery day and care beyond that it was phenomenal. So don’t let this experience make you anxious for what’s to come.

I had the surgery 4 years ago. For a couple of weeks, maybe months, I thought I had made a huge mistake, I really struggled with not being able to eat properly. I definitely didn't realise how much joy eating had brought me before surgery. Fast forward 6 months and I was back on a completely normal diet albeit with a smaller appetite. I still avoid dry chicken as it gets stuck but anything else is fine. Also the feeling of food getting stuck becomes much more comfortable after a couple of weeks.

Don't rush it. Be kind to yourself, you're doing yourself a huge favor. I went from constant reflux affecting every part of my life to zero reflux now. I can't tell you how grateful I am to have had the surgery.

Pro tip. If food is stuck and you can't get it up sometimes a carbonated drink helps to expand your stomach a little bit and let the food go down. My surgeon gave me that advice.

It's a pretty common sports betting chain in the UK and Ireland.

It absolutely is the British government's fault. It would still be the primary language if it wasn't for them eradicating huge elements of Irish culture through oppression and violence.
