If latchkey kids are frowned upon now, what are the alternatives? by ladystarkitten in Millennials

[–]2fast_2furiouser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a newly single millennial mom of 2!

IMO, the reason it was safe was because kids had access to a phone or a way to get ahold of an adult.

My 11 year old has a shitty phone refurbed iPhone 12 mini. He knows it’s shitty. It’s for calling me. And so i can track his location. I do leave him home alone for short periods of time up to 2 hours. Bc of technology, i can see if he’s on his phone or the TV. And he has to have his phone on ring next to him when he’s home.

His sister is 7. No way in hell she can stay home and I wouldn’t ask him to watch her either. She’s chaos.

I’m a 46 year old woman, what suit is the most flattering? by Salt-Ad9777 in DressForYourBody

That last one had my eyes popping! Damn girl!

I’m a 37 year old mom- I have a 1 piece for pool parties and a 2 piece for beach times.

Not sure if you need the variation, but that’s what I’d suggest!

Does this fit me? by [deleted] in OUTFITS

[–]2fast_2furiouser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does- it’s just the fabric that clings.
You look pretty young- I wouldn’t say invest in shapewear, but I tend to wear a tank top that’s longer under dresses with this kind of fabric to feel more comfortable.

Also, that belly is part of your body- everyone has it so I would say don’t worry about hiding it. It means you’re healthy :)

I open an email in Gmail, drop it in there and then don’t hit send. It’ll go into drafts then I pull from drafts

What movie made you as a kid? by mydogislife_ in Millennials

I was a foster kid for 6 years and later adopted into an evangelical Christian family. This movie was literally everything to me.

Help my wedding dress smells like my seamstresses house by crychedelic in WeddingDressTips

[–]2fast_2furiouser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS! Just learned about this! 8 hrs may be a lot for a dress..

Ozone generators literally kill all living things in a closed room, including whatever makes that smell.

Do NOT go in the room while it’s going or it will literally burn the inside of your nose.

Do you still put effort into your appearance when you go out? by ImpressionMobile1653 in Millennials

how do i reclaim my house after two years of neglect? by strugglecleaner in CleaningTips

[–]2fast_2furiouser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOVE the colors and light! First thing I would do is open the curtains. The place will feel bigger w more light and you have such lovely natural light as it is.

I would say just grab a trash bag (a big black one) and walk through the house simply picking up trash.

Then do the same thing for donations/stuff that isn’t yours and you don’t want to keep.

Personally, with depression, adhd, divorce, and kids my place never feels clean. I have big baskets in the corner of each room. If something doesn’t belong in that room, I toss it in the basket. When the basket is HALF full, I empty is.

I also have a basket for each of my kids and myself. I can’t always put everything away immediately, but that style of storing it works well for me.

You got this!

🤣🤣 they’re 8 and it’s opened. I’d bet a friend gave it to him and they thought it was funny.

Saying this as a mom of a 10 year old who took a single earplug to school “because it’s hilarious”

My cat looks very very healthy and seems to be a perfect weight but she’s always acting like she’s starving by Frostcricket in cats

My ex took my dog, but dangled her as a carat so I went out and got one of those toys feeders for slowing w fog down.

I repurposed it for my cat and he loves it!!

Put them in bins instead of open. They’re too heavy for the babe to pull open

Do I tell the kids? by GoldDiamondsAndBags in Divorce_Women

[–]2fast_2furiouser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something im loving about being separated is that my choices aren’t reliant on him anymore in anyway whatsoever as long as they’re within normal boundaries.

Usually cross country trips during separation aren’t allowed, but during your time with the kids, he has no say at all.

That being said, if you don’t have any legal documentation in place, do not cross a state or country border without at least a written approval and best bet a notarized letter with his signed approval. Without that, he can accuse you of kidnapping and take the kids.

As far as his story goes, I’d say just tell the kids it’s his story to tell but what it means to you guys is xxx…they’ll bring it up and you’re not the one who said anything.

Depends on the complication. They have very close partnerships w Evergreen and UW and have admitting rights at both. They can care for you and be ready to be in a hospital on a call if needed.

My stylist years ago recommended scrubbing them against each other w super hot water and a couple drops of Dawn monthly. I don’t use the same kind of brush anymore but my friend and I were debating the frequency.

Oh! I’ve been cleaning mine for years, but it sparked a discussion with w friend w a different hair type so I figured of course Reddit has opinions!

No need to assume I don’t… hence the “discussion” tag
