UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM!! Okay so I have three cats. The girl has been with me for years and the boys are from the same litter who will be 3 yrs old this May. We normally do not allow the boys in the bedroom bc they knock stuff over and poop in the room. Somehow Jack Jack snuck into our bedroom for maybe 30 mins and when we went in, there was foamy throw up in multiple places and he was foaming at the mouth. Literally dripping out and wouldn’t stop. He seemed scared of his own spit and kept running around the house so we immediately took him to the closest ER Vet. I took pictures in case I needed them but as far as I’m aware he hasn’t stopped foaming. He is a strictly indoor cat and we do not keep any food in the bedroom now but we used to keep my baby girl’s cat food in there and he is used to trying to find it to steal it so maybe he was looking for kibble?? Important info that I haven’t even been able to give to a vet/nurse while I’ve been here: he is very obsessed with food and we recently went to the vet about it because he was throwing up. He was on one prescription food and we have been switching him to another but I don’t think it’s that because the whole point of the food is to be easy to digest (hills digestive track or smth like that). Since I’ve had him (since he was 8/10 weeks - he was fixed around 3 month mark if I remember correctly) he’s had a sensitive stomach and been crazy about food so I’m worried he must’ve eaten something I just have no clue what it is. Any ideas ?? I don’t know what else to do They said min 180 just to see him, they’ve had him for over an hour and I have no clue what’s going on so im very stressed abt how much this will be and scared what’s happening to him. I just want to know he’s ok. I sent my bf home to make sure the other cats are okay and didn’t get into whatever Jack did. TLDR: foaming at the mouth, don’t know what caused it, for sure (99% sure) not food. UPDATE: Sorry if this is not in the best order, im still freaked out by what happened. Jack Jack is currently home. Still salivating but a lot less than before. Vet said what a lot of you are saying which is that he could’ve just tasted something he really didn’t like and began to salivate like crazy causing all the foaming. They gave him an anti nausea shot and brought him to me wrapped in a blanket )): nurse was very sweet and said he was a good boy (!!) Coming back home I don’t see any evidence of what he got into (or any bugs or frogs as yall mentioned). Vet suggested I give half a meal but not to stress if he doesn’t eat. He was v interested but it seemed like the salivating is bothering him too much to eat so I will try again tomorrow morning. Vet said to monitor and if there are any signs of concern (still salivating/not eating/throwing up/anything else unusual) to bring him back to them for an x ray or anything else. (The vet did also mention getting x rays tonight but said it could be too early to tell so I declined knowing it would be hella expensive. If he shows any bad signs tomorrow that will probably be the next move. ) To respond to some of the questions: -If you think I overreacted, Ive taken care of many animals - especially cats - and had never seen an animal foam at the mouth like that before so I was freaked out. I also know my mischievous baby and know he could get into something serious bc he is always getting into trouble ! Now I know he might’ve just had a funny taste in his mouth lol. - We have not administered any flea/tick medicine. - no nicotine - we do not use any essential oils/diffusers in the house - vet did not mention the possibility of poison and we don’t deal w critters/fumigating often - we have an orchid in the living room but no one has showed interest in it and he wasn’t near it at the time so I don’t think it was that. No other plants. - high doubt any meds because we don’t keep any in our room - I haven’t found anything but my room is kind of messy so tomorrow I will be deep cleaning and organizing to not have this happen again. - total was $250 so I guess it could’ve been worse /: TO EVERYONE WHO WAS SO KIND - THANK YOU. When my bf went back home to check on our other babies I was just reading all the replies and they really soothed me so thank you so much for all the supportive feedback and your own anecdotes of silly things your cats tasted thank you. Feel free to drop pics of said kitties. The internet was kind to me today and I cannot be more grateful submitted by

Ugh, I just can’t even right now. I’m 17. I’ve flown with my parents many time, so I have a good handle of the process. Last year, I went to a youth conference. It was kind of flying alone, but not really. I was on a flight there and back with several other youth from our group. And on the way back, our whole group of like 15 people travelled to the airport together, and we only split up once we got past TSA. Unfortunately, one of the girls on the same flight as me was driving me CRAZY. I told the other girl I was going to go to Popeyes to get food not even a minute away. She said “okay.” Then as soon as I order, the crazy girl is storming up saying “How dare you ignore the buddy system?! You made both of us get up just because you wanted food. And you could have been kidnapped!“ Yes, she literally thought I would be kidnapped walking about 20 feet away. Then when Popeyes got my order wrong and I wanted to go back, she claimed again because “everybody would have to go.” We’re in the airport outside of this event and we’re not the organization’s responsibility anymore, genuinely who cares about the buddy system at this point??? After that experience, I was so glad to be able to fly completely alone for my first time to another youth conference through this organization. Until this mom asked if her son also going to the event could get on the same flights as me. Okay, sure. That’s fine. I knew she was going to be a problem when she tried to get her son seated as close as physically possible to me. Lady, your son is 16. I’m not babysitting him in the airport. We will meet at the boarding gate, and that’s it. Thank God she didn’t find a seat right next to me. Then it got worse. Now she is forcing us to go from the airport to the hotel and back together. But she’s not comfortable with her poor sweet baby taking an Uber or cab, so she tried to find another parent to drive us. Well, that fell through. So now she’s reluctantly getting an Uber. But she insists that an adult has to check in with us right before we leave and after we get there, to make sure we’re safe. That is a bit reasonable, I suppose. Although still annoying. My mom was perfectly comfortable with me just taking a cab. But then, I found out she wants to get a fucking flight attendant to help us with check in and navigating the airport. I DON’T NEED A CHAPERONE OR BABYSITTER. Jesus fucking Christ. The whole point of this trip was for me to get the experience of flying alone. Not to be forced to stick with a boy I barely even know and a flight attendant who will dictate our every move! She said it will make her “poor momma heart” feel better. Which is the corniest thing I’ve ever heard. I don’t care about her or her son. If she actually pays for a chaperone to guide us around the airport I am perfectly capable of navigating, I am going to lose it more than I already have. My peaceful flying experience has been completely hijacked and ruined. submitted by /u/mikewheelerfan to r/Vent [link] [comments]

This is something that’s bothered me for a long time. I constantly see people criticizing hunters as if they’re cruel or barbaric. I've even had people tell me to turn the gun on myself, but many of the same people criticizing hunting eat meat regularly and never think twice about where it actually comes from. If you eat meat, an animal had to die. That part isn’t optional. The difference is how that animal lived and how it died. A deer taken by a hunter lived its entire life as a wild animal. It fed itself, moved freely, raised young, and lived the way that species evolved to live. When it dies from hunting, ideally it’s a quick, clean kill. One moment it’s living its life, the next moment it isn’t. No months or years confined in a building. Its also far more peaceful than a natural death to disease or eaten alive by predators. Compare that to a lot of the practices in industrial meat production that most people support every time they buy cheap meat at the store. Cows are routinely artificially inseminated to keep production going. In the egg industry, male chicks are killed immediately after hatching because they don’t produce eggs. Millions of them are ground up or gassed and used for things like fertilizer or pet food. Animals are often kept in extremely confined conditions for their entire lives. Veal calves are intentionally restricted so their muscles stay soft. Not to mention animals like lamb they're literally baby animals taken from their mother's for slaughter. Some animals like duck are force-fed to enlarge organs or increase production. Yet somehow the person who hunts a wild deer that lived a natural life is treated as the unethical one. That’s what feels backwards to me. I’m not saying everyone has to hunt. Not everyone wants to and that’s fine. But if someone is going to criticize hunting while still eating meat from industrial agriculture, I think there’s a serious disconnect there. Personally, I believe if you’re going to eat meat, you should at least be willing to confront the reality that something had to die for that meal. If you couldn't kill an animal yourself or at least accept and honor the lost life then you shouldn't eat meat. Hunting forces you to acknowledge that responsibility directly instead of outsourcing it to a system you never have to see. If anything, hunting has made me respect animals and food far more than I ever did when meat just came wrapped in plastic from a grocery store. It’s not about bloodlust or trophies. For a lot of people it’s about food, connection to nature, and taking responsibility for the meat you eat. And ethically speaking, a wild animal living freely and dying quickly seems a lot more humane than most of the alternatives people never question. I'm not interested in debating vegans or listening to meat eaters tell me I'm a monster who deserves death. If you have actual discussion I'll engage otherwise I'm not looking for input. submitted by /u/MyBedIsOnFire to r/Vent [link] [comments]

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/mar/15/ultra-processed-babies-are-toddler-snacks-one-of-the-great-food-scandals-of-our-time I found this article fascinating! It contains further studies done regarding baby food analysis as well. I’ve been curious about the role anxiety plays in the worsening of diets and rise in ARFID, but never considered how the baby food industry has started kids on the ultra-processed, bland texture food train young. For example, the rise of new baby snacks marketed as a safe and easy way for families on the go are actually shaping feeding preferences away from whole, fresh foods and varying textures. This article is focused on the UK, but I think has many parallels in other countries, including the US - especially when it comes to a lacking holistic regulations for all types of added sugar in baby food. Some excerpts from the article: “Pouch feeding goes against NHS advice that infants be discouraged from sucking from spouts and teats after the age of six months. In 2022, the British Dental Association attacked pouches for putting baby teeth at risk of “erosion and decay” just as “they are erupting”. A baby who sucks from a pouch can neither smell nor see what they are eating, so it does not teach them to recognise or enjoy real whole fruits and vegetables.” “The promise of meltiness preys on parents’ understandable terror of a baby choking. But these snacks – organic or not – are also one of the reasons that many infants have not learned to chew properly, because they are quite unlike the crunchy textures of real food: the crispness of toast, the chewy juiciness of roasted carrots or the crunch of an apple.” “The high price, perversely, seems to be part of the reason why these products are so popular among all classes in the UK – it wrongly reassures parents they are feeding their child something good.” submitted by /u/Stay1nAliv3 to r/ScienceBasedParenting [link] [comments]

People keep telling us "they should eat what you eat"...but nearly everything we eat it seems to suggest they shouldn't or can't eat. These are some of the foods/dinners we rotate around: Spag Bol Spag Carbonara Breaded fish Turkey or steak burgers Cowboy supper Breaded goujons/fillets Chicken stir fry and rice Salmon and rice Haddock and potatoes Pizza Lasagne Those are the things apparently he CAN'T eat, for a variety of reasons EG. salt or sugar content, choking hazard etc. The only things we make that he can eat are toast, scrambled egg, stew, homemade soups, roast chicken dinner and cottage pie. He also has Readybrek and lots of fruit. A lot of his meals are therefore baby jars or packets. They're all organic and nothing bad in them but it's an additional cost to us. And here's the big catch...due to a medical condition, we don't cook with chilli, nor can we take "spicy" foods such as curry. So with all that in mind, any recommendations for what else to cook? submitted by /u/Rowdy_Roddy_2022 to r/BeyondTheBumpUK [link] [comments]

He turns 1 in like what, 2 weeks and the only thing I’ve ever see her give him is a French fry. Which he can’t even eat those he just sucks on them. She should be making him fruits and veggies and pureeing them. There’s no way baby Alex can do BLW right now but the fact that she doesn’t even do purées is crazy. He’s almost 1. After 1 his nutrients should come from food and some whole milk, not formula but Kayla is 100000% too lazy to make him 3 meals a day. You’d think with all his health issues she would be feeding him organic fruits and veggies instead of the occasional salty French fry (which is horrible for a baby who has high BP). Whenever I see someone call her a “good mom” I automatically think the person saying that has to be a POS mom… OH and to anybody saying “you don’t know what she feeds her baby” be forreal, that girl posts everything. I’ve never seen her feed him baby food except for once when he was 4 months and nowhere near ready. She’s never done it since. Do yall think she knows that by the time he’s 1 he shouldn’t be on formula anymore? Or do yall think she’s just lazy and dgaf?? submitted by /u/ilbm1031 to r/kaylathaylasnark [link] [comments]

First time mama here to a now seven month old baby girl. What’s the consensus on baby pouches?! Good, bad? For reference I’m in a small town in Canada and groceries are expensive. These are almost cheaper than buying the individual ingredients and blending it myself. I only choose ones with no added sugars or oils etc. See photo for examples. So are these “bad”? Im doing very moderate baby led weaning but mostly purées so far. I do a mix of making my own and using stuff like this. Thanks in advance for all opinions/info/advice. Im very overwhelmed with the idea of solids. submitted by /u/lavgr to r/moderatelygranolamoms [link] [comments]

Or is this what “family does” for each other? This is my husband’s brother’s wife. She said we’d eventually need them anyway when we have kids of our own but we just got married with no kids in the near future and what if we can’t even have kids 🤔? Do I buy and ask her to pay me back? She also asked for some specific groceries for her kids. When we host them they never contribute to anything or give any sort of host gift (the way we always do for friends/family when they host us). They borrow our cars, we feed them, etc. submitted by /u/dms2628 to r/JUSTNOFAMILY [link] [comments]

for context, im (16F) and I left home for a weeks to go stay with my sister on my dad’s side. after he passed, my sister (who i initially knew nothing about) asked me to come visit her and get to know her and the rest of my dad’s side of the family, and i agreed (with my mom’s permission). since she’s allergic to cats, i couldn’t bring my baby with me, so i asked my mom if she could watch her for me. she told me yes, so i packed my stuff and went on my way. the trip itself was fun, and i’m happy i got to meet so many family members i didn’t know about. however, when i got back home, i noticed my cat was a lot skinnier. she wasn’t necessarily humongous before, but she definitely had some meat on her bones. i tried picking her up, and i can practically lift her with ONE hand EFFORTLESSLY without any strain. it’s like she weighs practically nothing. my mom said she fed her, but her bowl had little to no food residue nor a drop of water in it. she claimed my cat ate it all this morning, but i still don’t believe her. here’s a picture of the food bowl prior to me feeding her so you guys know i’m not crazy. my mom refuses to take her to the vet and keeps brushing off my concerns. as a minor, besides feeding her, there isn’t much i can do without my guardian’s involvement in some way. i even tried calling a vet and asking if I can schedule an appointment, but they just told me i’d need my parent to accompany me since minors “technically” aren’t allowed to “own” pets. i don’t know what to do anymore. if my suspicions are correct, she could potentially have organ failure according to google. i don’t wanna lose my cat. i don’t know what to do anymore. I gave her food and water but she just ended up throwing up a little of it. i feel so useless rn submitted by /u/TeachingExisting8366 to r/CATHELP [link] [comments]

So I (27F) reconnected with a childhood acquaintance (29F) recently when she moved to my city. My dad and her mom used to work together. We weren’t close growing up, but when she moved to my city around 5 months pregnant, she reached out. I know how lonely it can be to move somewhere new, so I agreed to hang out and tried to help her settle in. When I moved here, I didn’t know anyone either. And now I’m the only one she knows. At first it was fine, I did little things like I drove her to look at apartments (she didn’t have a car), helped her run errands, and my dad even built her furniture when she got an apartment. My dad came to visit me for the weekend and we spent it helping her settle in. She has no support system, the baby’s dad is out of the picture, and she’s unemployed (not sure how she’s funding everything). I genuinely wanted to be kind and supportive. I even introduced her to some of my friends and she was so rude to them and then wouldn’t stop talking poorly about them. But then things escalated. She started demanding I go with her everywhere.. doctor’s appointments, grocery shopping, even to do nails. She started jokingly calling the baby “our baby” because I’ve been around so much. She’ll say things like “our baby is craving fries from McDonalds” and beg me to get them for her. She even offers to pay me. She refuses to use meal delivery apps because she doesn’t trust that they won’t do something to the food, she says. This has been going on FOR MONTHS. Fast forward: I’m a bridesmaid in my best friend’s wedding and flying home (Puerto Rico) for 4 weeks to help with the shower, rehearsal, wedding, and even organizing her closet in her husband’s apartment while she’s on her honeymoon (they don’t live together until after the wedding). When my acquaintance came over and saw me packing, she lost it. She said I never told her about my trip. She said she was counting on me to be there for the birth (which will definitely happen while I’m away, I leave tomorrow and she’s ready to pop any minute), and even expected me to MOVE IN with her for the first month after the baby was born to “help out,” since I have nanny experience. She also told me she was planning on me watching the baby on the days I work from home (2 days of the week). I told her I wasn’t canceling my flight or shortening my trip, and now she’s furious, saying I’m abandoning her and the baby. That I’m all they have. She’s posting about me on social media saying I betrayed her. Her mom, who lives in our state just 4.5 hours away, is commenting and encouraging her. I told my mother about this and she also said I was a bad friend to leave her and her baby when they need me, that she agrees moving in is a lot but I should be there during birth, only travel for the wedding, and then come back to help with meals, etc. and told me she won’t be picking me up at the airport tomorrow because she knows I’ll do the right thing. So.. AITA? submitted by /u/Desperate_Donkey2212 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

Edits/Clarification at bottom So my wife (38f) and I (36m) have been together 8 years. We live in my home state of Arkansas, she is from San Diego. Every year she wants to visit home, we used to fly but since we have a kid (2f) she now wants to drive. I have no problem using all my vacation days for this, she lives here. Traveling is a pain because she overpacks. Used to fill my CX-7 FULL, but work gave me a $900 car allowance and we used that to get a full size Surburban. This time she loaded THAT full. I mean front passenger to the ceiling so I can't see the mirrors full. We didn't use hardly any of it. Every stop I carried everything into the hotel because she was afraid it would get stolen. It's 3 days each way Got through it, told her she makes traveling miserable because she is also super late. Tell her 10am. She might arrive by noon. So Every day we don't leave the hotel until 12, then she insists we drive until midnight, ugh, unfun Anyway. This weekend I was sent on a work conference. They got me a sweet hotel room, week at a nice resort, super excited. We were going to go and leave the baby. Day before she cancels my mom watching to bring our child. Fills the suburban full, again. Mind you, it's my work trip. 5 days, 5 nights Most of the stuff was just over packing. She brought a tote of blankets. One of towels. Two of her clothes! Totes!! I told her she makes it miserable (the hotel always gets cluttered and full, the night before we leave is always a mess trying to pack and her "organizing" stuff she brought that never gets used. She freaked out, told me i just want to go hook up and cheat at these things (I invited here) and she is filing for a divorce because I told her "your overpacking and insisting we fill every vehicle full and always being late makes me.miserable".. we were 3 hours late leaving to get to the conference, so I missed the networking opening night which is where in my industry people tend to clic up afterwards to a degree. I missed going to the best vendor events, etc, because she insisted that I don't leave because she was overwhelmed with how messy the hotel room was. (Mind you, it was all the stuff she brought, took out of totes, and never used, and the toddler then destroyed. AITAH? Edits Yes I am involved in raising our child. I actually packed for our trip, I had one bag for baby to go to mom's (toys, diapers, food, etc). A big bag but one large suitcase. I had a bag packed for wife and one for me. Yes, she had ADHD She always says she doesn't want to do this, then trip comes and she does it. I am not a cheater. She accused me of it last time I went solo. I am exhausted. If she left me I think I would be done with relationships, my own mental health is wrecked My boss wasn't mad, he found the whole thing hilarious when I told him. He skipped half of the conference himself. My job wasn't threatened, but to me it was. I tried the whole packing thing for her and me. I have tried to just accept her issues, but it's gotten worse. When we first got together it was she needed a large checked bag for a 2 day trip to Las Vegas. Now she needs an entire suburban for a week trip. One of issues is the vehicle is so full. If it was just the back, I might be able to deal. But it's so full I can't even see the side mirror.. I've expressed how unsafe that is and she doesn't care just yells that I don't understand Yes she comes from a hoarder background submitted by /u/Ok-Cut-9597 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

The UN has stated that every single part of Gaza is in famine conditions. For over 20 months, Palestinians in Gaza have been starving. Parents have been feeding their children leaves, animal feed, and flour mixed with water. Babies have died from malnutrition. The trucks carrying food, formula, medicine, and clean water sat just miles away, blocked by Israel. Now, after massive international pressure, some aid is finally getting in. This is a crack in the blockade, not its end. Aid is not flooding in; it is trickling, and what’s entering can’t possibly reach 1.8 million people without a total lifting of restrictions, guaranteed long-term access, and safe distribution. What you can do right now: Donate- if you’re able to. Choose vetted organizations with access on the ground. Keep up the pressure - aid only started moving because of public outcry. Organize, protest, keep talking. This momentum cannot fade. Contact your representatives to end Israel's blockade of Gaza and impose sanctions on Israel. Amplify - share updates, Palestinian voices, and testimonies. Keep an eye on Palestine. This famine is not an accident. It’s the result of siege, blockade, and a system of control.

The UN has stated that every single part of Gaza is in famine conditions. For over 20 months, Palestinians in Gaza have been starving. Parents have been feeding their children leaves, animal feed, and flour mixed with water. Babies have died from malnutrition. The trucks carrying food, formula, medicine, and clean water sat just miles away, blocked by Israel. Now, after massive international pressure, some aid is finally getting in. This is a crack in the blockade, not its end. Aid is not flooding in; it is trickling, and what’s entering can’t possibly reach 1.8 million people without a total lifting of restrictions, guaranteed long-term access, and safe distribution. What you can do right now: Donate- if you’re able to. Choose vetted organizations with access on the ground. Keep up the pressure - aid only started moving because of public outcry. Organize, protest, keep talking. This momentum cannot fade. Contact your representatives to end Israel's blockade of Gaza and impose sanctions on Israel. Amplify - share updates, Palestinian voices, and testimonies. Keep an eye on Palestine. This famine is not an accident. It’s the result of siege, blockade, and a system of control. If we look away now, they’ll tighten the noose again. Donate Palestinian Red Crescent — medical aid, ambulance services, and emergency care. UNICEF for Gaza’s Children — nutrition, clean water, trauma support.

Edit 3: Some people have commented and messaged me about setting up a gofundme to get the remainder of the funds. I appreciate that y'all but I'm too worried about my now ex finding out about it. Hoping to hear back from the second organization to hopefully get the remaining funds together. I'm trying not to be anxious and worried over it but I am so ready to be done and not have to deal with this hanging over my head any more Edit 2: I heard back from one of the funding organizations and they're willing to cover half of the cost of the procedure. I started crying on the phone because that's a huge relief taken care of. I felt like I was going to puke from nerves. I'm so relieved right now 21f, found out I was pregnant on Monday and it really came as a shock because I've been on birth control pills since I turned 18. I just finished my junior year of college and I'm set to graduate next spring so having a baby is not something I planned on at. all. My parents are not the type to help me. I've had to hide the fact I'm on birth control from my mom because she sees it as "sinful". I live paycheck to paycheck and I'm already in debt for having student loans (my parents would never give me their tax information for FAFSA so I had to take out both federal and private loans to pay for school because my parents gave me grief for wanting to go to a 2 year community college and not a 4 year college right out of high school) I live with two roommates now and just landed a part time job at a smoothie place and when the fall/spring semesters are in session, I'm a work study. I can't work more than 29 hours a week at my job so things have just been tight. My boyfriend is 26m and one of my roommates introduced us. We've only been "together" since February. He's met my parents and they really liked him. I missed my period for May and haven't had one for June yet and ended up taking a pregnancy test Monday morning. My head has been spinning and I decided to tell my boyfriend last night about this and my decision. His response was "I can't believe you didn't tell me right away" and he seemed upset that I didn't tell him exactly when I got the positive pregnancy test. I was telling him I needed time to process it and he got kind of mad and said "You kept a secret from me" and tried to end our conversation. I told him I wasn't done talking and we really needed to discuss this and I told him that I am NOT ready to be a mom. I have a degree to finish and I want to eventually get my master's and I make $11.72 an hour at tropical smoothie cafe right now. I said I can't support a baby and his response was "You don't think I can't take care of you both?" which just made me feel like he wasn't listening to me at all and only thinking about what HE wanted. I said I didn't want to stay pregnant and was looking at traveling out of state to get an abortion and he got ANGRY. He said we "made a life and we have a responsibility to take care of it" and tried to tell me I couldn't get an abortion or we were over. I'm like what the hell? We've only been dating 4 months, I've never met his family and he's only met my parents once and while they liked him, we aren't married. My mom ended up telling me she was upset that I was dating at all reminded me that having sex before marriage was a sin. I said no again, that being a mom isn't something I can do right now and he got SO ANGRY and started yelling at me to the point where my roommate had to come in and make him leave. He called me a murderer, a stupid b!tch, said he was going to "make me regret this decision" and ended up texting not only BOTH of my roommates BUT MY PARENTS TOO about everything. When I woke up this morning I had a bunch of texts from my parents, my dad saying I'm a disgrace and he and my mom won't support me anymore (the only "bills" of mine they pay are my car insurance and my cell phone bill). Now my roommate who introduced us is mad at me for being a "drama queen" when I didn't want ANYBODY to know. I thought he would support me and not lose his cool and threaten me. My boyfriend texted me that I was "killing an innocent life" and a bunch of other things I don't agree with. I feel trapped. Every part of me knows I’m not ready to bring a child into the world, I can barely pay rent and afford groceries some months without going to my campus food bank, I’m trying to finish school, and I know having a baby will ruin my future. I live in a very red state that has banned abortion pretty much. Neither of my roommates are willing or wanting to help because they don't want to get "in the middle" of my situation, and I know now my parents will be ZERO help or give me any support because of their conservative/christian beliefs. Now I have to get the appointments made (I've done some research and know what state I'll have to travel to and what clinic I'll be going to if they have availability), travel out of state, take time off work and probably take out a payday loan or something to pay for it all so I don't ruin my life before my 22nd birthday. My mom has called me "shameful" and she texted that she couldn't "believe this is the path I'd choose" and how hurt she is by my decision so it honestly feels like everyone around me is wanting me to keep this pregnancy but I know deep down I really really can't AITAH for wanting to get an abortion despite my boyfriend and parents being so against it/wanting me to keep the pregnancy? Edit: If everyone who's commented or private messaged me nasty shit like I'm a baby killer or a whore or some other gross message in my inbox (or weirdly asked me for nudes, you guys are gross) sent me $1, I'd have enough to either have the abortion in full or have some savings put away to actually raise a child lmao. The pro-life keyboard warriors are coming out and I even have some people in my inbox offering to adopt the clump of cells they think is a baby. I do not want to have a child, not at 21, not now. I want to finish my degree and get a job that pays more than fast food. I know not everyone will agree with me but it's what's best for ME. I've made my initial appointment at a clinic and I will be calling organizations to get the funding for the abortion, traveling out of state, gas, hotel etc. I plan on getting the abortion (even with the amount of hate I'm getting) because I know if I don't, I'm setting myself up for failure later on. thank you to those who have offered help and kind words despite the jerks in my inbox. I have reached out to two organizations to help with funding and I'm waiting to hear back after getting the total cost of the abortion itself from the clinic. I will update when I can but right now I'm just going to work on getting the funds together and moving on from this nightmare submitted by /u/Frequent_Rooster_730 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

We recently bought a baby Beta fish from Petco and he will not eat flakes or pellets. He only searches the tank picking at things, but even if he finds some food he spits it out. Should we be concerned, or will he be OK on micro organisms and algae and start taking food as he grows up? submitted by /u/suburbanite09 to r/bettafish [link] [comments]

The first 5 pictures are one person. The 6th is one person, and 7-16 are all one person. The one from the 3rd set had just joined the group that day and started messaging me complaining about what I would and wouldn't approve. As you can see, I stopped replying because I just can't with her. If she tries to post her list again, she's getting booted. I've been an admin in this group for about 8 years and I used to organize food drives at Thanksgiving and toy drives at Christmas. I would spend hours driving around with my small children collecting food and toys and also delivering it because of course, they couldn't ever pick it up. But then I would see these same people who cried about their baby having "nothing" for Christmas if they didn't get help posting pictures on Christmas day of PILES of presents under the tree and I know that I brought them 5-6 gifts. And they would claim that all the donation places rejected them. And so few of them even said thank you. I've been in the position of needing help for Christmas and profusely thanked the people who helped and even sent thank you letters after the fact with pictures of my children with the gifts. It just makes me not want to help anymore. Don't even get me started on the ones who are begging for everything under the sun for their 4 month old for Christmas. And they're upset their child didn't get picked from toys for tots. I've deleted multiple posts from people trying to complain about donation centers not approving enough people. Occasionally, I do know of someone who really does need help and I also have certain page members who message me asking for lists of people who really need help because they're burnt out just like me. I'll put those people in touch with each other so that the people who want to adopt a family can help someone and not feel like they wasted their time and money. Those are always heartwarming. I can't wait for Christmas to be over at this point. submitted by /u/mandolin2712 to r/ChoosingBeggars [link] [comments]

I try to keep up on going homemade, it's hard. She'll end up just eating the same thing for days and I hate it. I'm a single Mom now, and just don't have the time to keep up with it. I'll get my baby only organic stuff, but I still feel like I'm failing her. I ordered her some HappyBaby food items, and some organic gerber things. They'll be delivered in a couple hours. How do I get over myself? EDIT: Oh my stars! Silver, and twice?! Bless your sweet hearts and thank you! submitted by /u/kawaiimamaholli to r/Parenting [link] [comments]

The title says it all. I gave up the Ghost and Im so flipping happy. His face is covered in food while he plays on the floor..laughing at mommy while I sing him a song. The pressure for perfection is asinine and a lie. I will not believe it any longer. I owe it to myself to be authentic so I can be the best role model for my son. submitted by /u/lalaralgb to r/beyondthebump [link] [comments]
