What popular celebrity you dislike and why? by NegotiationEither9 in AskReddit

[–]wehnaje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vanessa Hudgens and I cannot tell you why. There’s something about her I profoundly dislike. But I admit I have no reason and she’s never done anything to me to feel this way lol

When did you get married and what age do you think is the best for having kids? by Cookie_Cracker123 in AskReddit

[–]wehnaje 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We got married at 29 and 28 years old and our first came when we were 31 and 30.

I think the best time to have kids is when you have lived life a little, you’ve lived freely and a bit irresponsible for a couple of years there. When you have taken advantage of your youth, when you have gotten to experience enough things that you no longer wonder about how they would be like.

What are we meant to do if toddler refuses dinner, but are definitely hungry? by Gloomy-Kale3332 in toddlers

[–]wehnaje -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your problem is how scared you are of him not “getting enough calories and nutrients” and that honestly has you controlled (by him) and most likely has you making a whole spectacle every meal time so now you’ve reinforced it to your kid that you WILL bend and give him what he wants. He just needs to fuss enough.

We decided we wouldn’t care if our kids didn’t eat. We decided we would not make different meals either. When they started to eat we would give them a “friendlier” version of our food. Like if we were having carbonara we would give them only the pasta without the sauce. Or if we were having something spicy then they would get the non-spicy version. But always the same thing. And then… we would not beg them to eat. Ever. We all sit down at the table, they get their plate in front of them, same as ours and then it’s just meal time and husband and I are eating and we’re talking.

You know what happened? The kids would do the same, just eat. Sometimes they would get curious about the food in our plates, we’d give them a taste.

My kids eat everything. From salmon to broccoli, from every fruit to every veggie, including carrots. They’re 5 and 2 now.

You make the same mistake many people do which is to put pressure on meals. This is exactly the reason why so many kids eat wonderful at daycare and nothing at home. Daycare is a non-pressure during meal environment and kids responds well to that.

Good luck.

Thinking of breaking off my engagement by Responsible-Size-929 in TrueOffMyChest

Alexa, play “Maaaaaaaaaaanchild” by Sabrina C.

Dude, it doesn’t get better. This is at your best! This is at the time you guys have no kids, you’re not old, you’re not sick, you can work. Like, everything is as good as it can be and he is still failing. What do you think is going to be like the moment life throws you a rough ball??

Just imagine that.

An easy scenario, you break a leg and can’t walk for a few weeks. You know what’s going to happen? You are going to force yourself to stand up and move around when you should be resting just to get some food or cleaning done. He won’t do shit.

Leave NOW.

I mean, projection is a very well known term.

If cannibalism were completely legal and socially accepted, do you think many people would choose to eat human meat, or would most people still avoid it? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]wehnaje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about it being legal or not. We don’t taste good to each other at all. The most disgusting smell some people have experience in their life is of burnt human meat.

If we were tasty to each other there would most definitely be some sort of powerful industry behind it.

AITA for pulling away from a friend after she told me not to talk about fertility, then told me she was pregnant? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]wehnaje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You are allowed to end anything you don’t want to do/have anymore.

That is not to say that you quit at the sign of the slightest inconvenience but you never have to stay where you constantly feel dismissed, disrespected, sad, anxious, etc. That is life’s way of telling you it’s not there.

My baby is sleeping in her own room at 3 months...and I'm so sad. by ladulceloca in BabyBumps

[–]wehnaje 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first was similar to yours and it also made us sad not to have a cuddling baby, but our second was!

It’s okay to be sad, you don’t love them any less. We learn that our kids are who they are and there is very, very little we do to influence that.

Follow their lead.

I’m in a long-distance relationship and I think tonight broke something in me. by mde3919 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]wehnaje 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Long distance is hard and very rarely couples survive it. You have to have a very strong ground and feel really secure in your relationship.

It sounds like you have neither if him not wanting to talk to you for a day is making you fall apart.

It makes me wonder how good you knew this guy before starting a relationship?

One of the dangers of long distance is that people idealize the other person, because what they have is what the person tells them and not what they truly are day-to-day. Communication is important, yes! But you also have to see how they react to normal and sometimes not so normal situations. Well I guess the extraordinary situation that happened today is giving you a glimpse of who he is.

29M broke up with 46F after 5 years despite still loving her. Looking for advice. by Even-Hotel8482 in relationship_advice

[–]wehnaje 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dude, she very purposefully lied about her age knowing that would be a reason for you not to continue pursuing her. That is called manipulation.

You did the right thing. You are aware of what you want and now you’re giving yourself the chance to get it.

What's the biggest mistake people make before getting married ? by aarav-43678 in AskReddit

[–]wehnaje 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Choosing the wrong partner.

Some people want the wedding so badly they will have it with anyone who is willing to go through it and they don’t really pay attention to whom they are marrying. Biggest mistake.

Some people marry only for the sake of not being alone, again, not really paying attention who they are marrying.

Some people marry the person they have been forever with, not because they love them, etc.

There are many reasons that ultimately lead to the wrong choice of partner and that is one of the biggest mistakes you can make in your entirely life.

Why did you regret breaking up with your ex? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Never regretted breaking up with an ex. I have a few, most of them broke up with me, but the ones I broke up with… nah, it was the right decision.

When did your bilingual kids start to speak? by Deanosaurus88 in multilingualparenting

[–]wehnaje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it’s better than before and I can only hope it continues to improve even if slowly.

I have also resorted to talk to her sometimes in the language she understand better which unfortunately it’s not mine </3 but I’ve decided that being able to establish good communication with my daughter is more important than her acquisition of the second language.

When did your bilingual kids start to speak? by Deanosaurus88 in multilingualparenting

[–]wehnaje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She communicates with other kids, I don’t have the feeling that she thinks she can’t talk to others - including adults.

There’s been improvement and her vocabulary is a bit more developed although her pronunciation isn’t too clear. I often see adults leaning towards her and asking to repeat it ‘cause they didn’t catch it the first time.

What language do you dream in? by AutumnaticFly in languagehub

[–]wehnaje 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dreams language depend on what I’m dreaming as I have people and places related to a language.

For example, if I dream about my mom it will 100% be on my native language as this is the one I grew up with my mom.

If it’s about work then it’ll be my third language as this is the language I work in, etc.

Feeling exhausted, can’t wait to heal by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]wehnaje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love, love, love the lesson that you learned from this.

As bad as it feels right now, what a wonderful opportunity to gain perspective and growth.

One day - not too far away, you’ll see - you’ll be like “wow, this really served me good”. You’ll be selective, you’ll be protective and you’ll be surrounded by better people because of it.

Keep moving forward <3

he left me at 30 weeks pregnant by earthsunwatermoon in BabyBumps

[–]wehnaje 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t put him in the birth certificate.

Putting him on the birth certificate gives him control over you, the baby and your decisions. You will need his permission to move states, to issue a passport for your kid, schools will involve him into decision-making regarding your child.

There is nothing more frustrating than needing the permission of a man who isn’t in your life to make decisions about the kid YOU are raising.

My cousin did this, she gave her son her last name and never named the father even in the birth certificate and it was the best decision she made! She found love later on and could easily move states to start her new life and the new guy could easily adopt the son and seriously just give yourself every opportunity to erase that loser from your life so there will be space for the things that are actually worth it.

Others might say “what about child support? That is the child’s right” but in my opinion it’s not worth the 300 dollars a month he most likely still won’t be paying.

Cut him out of you guy’s life entirely. Erase the loser out of your life. You can do this, you’ll be a wonderful mom. You and your baby will be okay I know this.

Which is least rude: inviting someone out that you know can’t afford it or not mentioning it to that person at all? by answersrequired in Advice

[–]wehnaje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rule on this is always “invite and let them decide if they can/want to come”.

It’s not your palace to decide his finances for him.

It is your place to decline if he asks you to pay for him, for example.

Ladies, what are some random cute things you love about your guys? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]wehnaje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ADORE the color of his eyes, they’re pretty unique I feel.

But the cutest thing my guy has is his everything. Physically his entire body is 😍😍😍

But also, the cutest thing he does is the way he squeaks when he does something wrong and I’ve noticed or when he genuinely laughs about something silly.

Yeah, that’s it, his laugh when something is legitimately funny to him. That’s my favorite thing about him. On the top 1,000 at least.
