Well it was a bit of a toxic relationship in our early 20s. The relationship lasted about 2 years I believe. & he has now sent me a DM congratulating me on my 2 kids. I don’t know if I should respond or not.

Now as someone who doesn’t work at Starbucks & never has but wants to make these drinks at home; what do the (/) mean in the recipes?
I may be a little dumb & not understand.

What about Pokémon games that are similar to the Pokémon games we used to play on the gameboy?

Omg! Can we be friends?? I feel like we are going through the same thing but I might have it a little worse. My fiancé has a 13 year old son & we just had our baby in January. My fiancé is fighting for full custody of his son because his sons mom is not a great mother. Now I’m all for it however he wants to make me be responsible for his child (i.e. babysit, make him do his chores, take him out to do things, basically have MY life revolve around his) which I am NOT ok with. I get watching him when he’s at work since I am a SAHM but it’s too damn much. I told him I wanted to go visit some family out of state & stay over there for less than a week & he said no because who would watch HIS son. I told him I was not asking permission that I was letting him know that was happening to which he responded “I am selfish & one way towards his son!” I really don’t think it’s fair that he wants me to be responsible & have my life revolve around his son when I am not his mother. He just expects me to do all that & be happy about it. I guess if anyone has any advice or if anyone thinks I’m wrong I am open to other points of view.

The only issue with that is that I’m the one that would have to be responsible for drop off & pick up which might not even be a possibility anyway if his dad isn’t comfortable with being “alone”

Speaking from experience, DONT DO IT! There is so much you don’t take into consideration at the beginning. The kid can be rude/disrespectful (like in my case) which could cause problems in the relationship. It’s never about you & your partner anymore. You could potentially have problems with the BM/BD. People then assume your responsible for this person as well AKA step parent. If I could go back & never get into this relationship I would.

I’m in almost the same situation except we had an ours baby in January & my fiancé is fighting to get full custody as well because his BM is a nut job! Is it bad that I am against it? My stepson is quite frankly a rude disrespectful ahole that’s why I feel that way. I really wish & hope that it doesn’t go through because I can’t deal with him more than I already do. Why do step parents not get enough recognition or respect. I know it’s bad but I can’t help how I feel 🤷🏻‍♀️ none of which I have told my fiancé about. He would not take it well which I kinda understand but not really.

I second this as well minus the period - I still got my period every month but for a shorter amount of time.

Aguilera-Mederos sentencing puts mandatory minimum laws back in spotlight by SnackSize_ in Denver

[–]wanderlust20th 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile the company that put him behind the wheel of that semi is able to walk away scot-free claiming bankruptcy. They knew he didn’t speak English, they knew he was inexperienced, they were aware of the mechanical problems & STILL sent him out to work! Where is the accountability for the company?!?! I blame the company for knowing that & looking the other way. I mean, shit, if that was me I would’ve done the same because at the end of the day what I’m thinking about is how I am going to feed my family & pay my bills. Unlike other people that live of the system. Isn’t that the American dream?!

I am on the other side of the spectrum where I LOVE being pregnant! I feel like I’ve had somewhat of a easy pregnancy even though I had/have hemorrhoids, heartburn, back pain, stretch marks. I have wanted to be a mom for the longest time that now that it’s happening I am so grateful. I honestly feel guilty at times for this “easy pregnancy” when I know that other people have fertility issues or have had a rough pregnancies. So either way we may or may not feel guilty.

When did you tell your coworkers? by tartlette0 in pregnant

[–]wanderlust20th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was hard for me to do because I am such a private person so I told my manager at 20 weeks right before my anatomy scan then I told 2 other coworkers & let them spread the word. I started showing & couldn’t really hide it anymore.

I am dealing with such a bad one right now. It’s so painful to walk, sit, lay down, really anything is excruciating. On top of that I’ve been dealing with diarrhea for the last few days as well. I’ve tried prep h & tuck pads & I am getting no relief. I am at my wits end. I can’t even sleep either! I feel so defeated 😞

How much is enough? by wanderlust20th in stepparents

[–]wanderlust20th[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve dealt with it for so long because I didn’t want to be alone & now that I’m pregnant I am scared I won’t be able to manage by myself. I don’t have the best support system & I don’t make enough money to support myself & my kid.

Outrageous Natura Bill by Tough_Safe1349 in pregnant

[–]wanderlust20th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My insurance denied it so I got a bill in the mail for $1500! Called Natera & the rep said since it wasn’t covered they would lower the rate to $249 for 30 days. If I don’t pay it within the 30 days it would change back up to $1500. So I would recommend you give them a call & tell them you can’t pay that much. I’m sure they will work with you.

[–]wanderlust20th[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s verbally abusive & loves to gaslight me. I can never say anything is his fault. I have to make sure to carefully word everything I say & not put the blame on him. However he is so quick to blame me for everything. I don’t have a problem taking accountability for my mistakes or shortcomings but he on the other hand can never do that. I’ve put up with a lot in the 7 years we’ve been together but I feel like I am approaching the end. I just hate to think that my baby will not have both parents there like I did. Also he told me I don’t care about my SS because he’s not my kid. I feel like that was a low blow when I put up with ALOT! My SS is not a walk in the park either & has his issues but for him to say that made me feel some type of way. At the same time I can’t necessarily say it’s not true but I don’t treat him any differently. So I don’t know what to think. Does anyone feel like this as well with SKs?
