TROPHY CASE

Can't you customize sneaker colors on Nike's website? I remember messing around with something like that and it would be cool if I could make my own.

Wouldn't that be more of an unlucky thing, from your perspective? I haven't been convinced by way of logic and reasoning, and since my experiences up until this point have kept me satisfied in believing in myself and other humans and nothing else, there isn't much of a chance for Christ to step in and establish Himself. A close encounter with death at a young age and a little push from Christians who were close to me could have easily caused me to grow up a believer, and spend my efforts defending belief as opposed to attacking it.

I tend to feel the same way as far as self-reliance goes, but part of me wonders how self-reliant I would be if I were brought up under different circumstances. During my lifetime I've only lost two great-grandmothers who were in their 90s so it was expected. I've never really experienced any major hardships, but that could also be just the way I tend to look at life in general. It's hard to tell.

I work as a first responder so I am exposed to lots of intense situations but I never think "Shit shit shit this is crazy somebody help me", I think "What the hell can I do to improve this situation?" It makes it so much harder for me to even consider relying on something supernatural because I have seen what I can do and what my fellow man can do when we work together and it removes the need for any god(s) in my book.

Marriage, money, and children - looking for some perspective from the parents of /r/Christianity! by keatsandyeatsin Christianity

Marriage, money, and children - looking for some perspective from the parents of /r/Christianity! by keatsandyeatsin Christianity

[–]BumpiestBread 0 points1 point ago

There are always reasons not to have children. When exactly does everything fall perfectly into place? There is always something to strive for - when you do eventually obtain a good paying and satisfying job, you never just settle into that position and put yourself on cruise control. There are always opportunities for further advancement within that job that require a bit of extra work, different tasks that are needed to be done that take extra time, and so on. Maybe a major repair needs to be implemented on your house that will cost a lot of money, and you decide to wait until that is finished. Maybe your car breaks down, or a family member becomes incredibly ill and needs financial assistance. It's a rare instance when you can sit down and say, "Well, everything else in my life is completely stable. I think I'll have children now!"

Take a look at people who live in third world countries. They often have multiple children while living on practically nothing, compared to our standards. Being secure financially is comfortable for sure, but with a lot of sacrifices you could easily raise a family on poverty-level income. In my opinion, if raising a family while poor turns you off from having children than maybe you should reconsider.

Stay at Home Dad Here, for 8 months now.. by [deleted]in daddit

[–]BumpiestBread 0 points1 point ago

I work May-Nov so I'm a SAHD for the months in between. Our son was born in August so I've been going at it for about 5 months now. My wife is a teacher so she is usually home before 4pm which is really nice.

So far everything has been fairly easy. Our son has no major health problems and has only had light colds a handful of times so far. I usually get him on a regular feeding/napping/sleeping schedule for a few weeks, and then all of the sudden he's not receptive to it for some reason and his schedule gets altered a bit. During these transitions it can be tough, but only because I get so used to the easy schedule and happy baby. The one thing I've realized (and I'm sure all of you know this) is that a solid, consistent routine results in a happier baby and easier days at home.

What were the first solid foods you fed your little one? by Bos35in daddit

[–]BumpiestBread 2 points3 points ago

Beans, avacado, pasta, ham, egg whites, steamed brocolli and cauliflower, apples. Anything that my wife and I eat we will usually give him a taste. He's almost 8 months, no teeth yet but he mashes things with his gums pretty good.

My server friend got this "tip" on the back of a receipt the other day. by jermajestyin WTF

[–]BumpiestBread 38 points39 points ago

I live in California so businesses are required to pay minimum wage regardless of whether you are tipped staff or not. I went through a fire academy in 2005 and many of my classmates were working in restaurants part-time to make up for how expensive the fire academy was. Afterwards I picked up a job with the forest service making about $10/hr doing fulfilling but labor-intensive work as a forestry technician (firefighter). Lots of guys stuck with serving food after graduation because they made a lot more doing that and it was much easier according to them. I still tip plenty but I laugh when servers bitch about bad tippers because I know they are making decent money considering what their job entails.

My father is very near death. Could use some prayer and advice for my family and myself. by Diosjeninin Christianity

[–]BumpiestBread 1 point2 points ago

I have an extra copy of A Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis, I'll send it your way if you like. It's a collection of reflections by C.S. Lewis after the passing of his wife. I've never lost anyone close to me so I don't have any helpful advice, but I am thinking a great deal about you. I hope you find peace through this.

My wife's employer is being ridiculous about her pumping... Need advice. by 5skandasin Parenting

[–]BumpiestBread 2 points3 points ago

Look for pumping bras on Amazon, my wife used to hate pumping during lunch because it would be hard for her to find time to eat a healthy meal but with a pumping bra your hands are free.

Honest question and would like honest answers, no shame attached: do you have in your mind what you would like your engagement ring to be? Is it important it's a particular stone or of a particular size/cost? by snake_bittenin TwoXChromosomes

[–]BumpiestBread 7 points8 points ago

XY here. I had my (then) girlfriend's sister drop questions randomly over the course of a few weeks to get an idea of what type of ring she would like. I went out and bought it and surprised her with a proposal a week or so later. She loved it, but I would bet that she would have liked anything that I picked out myself. Not because I have good taste, but because I spent the time and effort in doing it secretly. She has no idea what it cost, and has never asked.

I have many friends who took their girlfriends out shopping for rings. It has worked fine for them and it's what their SOs wanted them to do but I am willing to bet that they could have picked out great rings without any help but they just didn't give themselves the chance. If you're ready to get married you should know how to approach the issue based on the personality of both people.

First time Dad, What do you wish you had been told? by Keiperin Parenting

[–]BumpiestBread 0 points1 point ago

  • Don't worry about milestones. Your child will begin to smile, roll over, crawl, walk and talk at his own pace. These things will happen eventually. Some other parents may brag and boast about how their child did a, b and c at months x, y and z, and try to tell you how you should be parenting so your child can do the same. Fuck those people, they are fuck heads. Listen to your pediatrician and other relevant professional advice.

  • Don't pull your hair out. Parenting can be frustrating but you will learn what your child will respond to in good time. Sometimes your kid will cry and cry and it will feel like you have done EVERY POSSIBLE THING to help and it's not working. You probably have done everything you can do, but sometimes there are variables that are not under your control. Hold on tight and just know that your kid won't be crying nonstop until he's 18, the bad times will come and go and you need to keep your head up so you don't miss the good stuff.

  • Take lots of pictures and video. Don't be so distracted by documenting that you don't enjoy the moments, but have the camera ready so you can enjoy them over and over again as the years go by.

  • You may REALLY want your kid to become a basketball player, or a Yankees fan, or a Buddhist, but let them decide those things for themselves. Your goal should be providing plenty of options and information so they can figure out on their own what they like. Passions will grow and fade but the most important thing is that they are passionate about something and you should support whatever that may be.
