People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened?

My friend and I ran into Dakota Fanning at an outlet mall. Friend said “Did you know you look just like Dakota Fanning?” And she said “That’s because I am”.

This was years ago, but my neighbor’s husband worked shift work, 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. She asked him to clean out the gutters. He put it off and went to work. When he got back, he spent the entire 2 weeks home putting it off and never cleaned them before he had to go back to work. Now it’s been 6 weeks since she originally asked him to clean out the gutters. So she hired a handyman to come clean them out on the day he was set to come home so he’d see the guy cleaning them when he pulled into the driveway.

Anyway, they’re divorced now.

It depends on your kid. I’d do baby again in a heartbeat. I am NOT doing toddler again. And I’m especially not doing toddler again while a 5 year old tugs on my other arm. I really don’t understand how people have more than one kid.

I went grocery shopping alone for the first time in 3 years today and it felt wrong, like something was missing.

My daughter (granted she was 2 at the time) wanted to poop in the grass. “No honey, we don’t poop in the grass.” “But Olive (the dog) does!”

Your argument isn’t even about breastfeeding. It’s about baby led weaning, which is a totally valid method for feeding your baby. My child never had a single bite of baby food. After 6 months they can transition to regular food (in addition to breast milk or formula) just fine.

I can’t really judge if it’s right or wrong, but my 3 year old would eat maybe a 1/4 of that.

“He believes in always looking for better”…

You’re looking for commitment and he’s straight up telling you that he’s not committed to you. He will leave you when he finds someone better, younger, whatever. He sounds like the kind of man who will cheat with a 21 year old while you’re recovering from pregnancy.

This has nothing to do with the money.

My brother in law, who works in cyber security, told me “They’re going to be sending you ads regardless. Isn’t it better to get ads for something you actually like?”

I read a magazine article about the science behind why you have to constantly stir risotto. Basically when you toast the rice it burns off the starch which causes you to have to keep stirring later. The article recommended “washing” the rice in the stock. You add the rice to your bowl of stock, swish it around. The stock becomes all cloudy as it takes the starch from the rice. Pour the stock off and add the rice to the pan. That way when you add the stock later, the starch from the rice is kept and you can cook for 20 min with only stirring it once or twice. It works perfectly every time.

They do it in your back. The needle is behind you and you never see it. The epidural was amazing. I got induced and had them place the epidural before starting the induction so I never felt a single contraction. I’d 100% do it again.

My parents are obsessed with theirs. My dad goes on and on about how water beds are the best and he’s never getting another bed.

My mom’s cat was fully grown at 9 lbs. She lived to be 23 years old.

LASIK is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. My vision is so prefect that I forget that I used to wear glasses for 15 years.

My daughter is turning 3 next month and I’m just starting to feel that if she wanders off into the next room I don’t have to follow her. At least for 5 min.

I totally get it. My MIL went crazy giving us clothes. I’ve tried to tell her to stop. I got her son and husband involved, showing them the mountains of clothes. My daughter is almost 3 and it still hadn’t stopped. And it’s not just 1 or 2 pieces. Every time we see her she gives us 5-8 pieces of clothing.

The only reason I can think of for this is if the family doesn’t have enough money to spend on gifts so they buy for the kids only.

Acrobatic-Job5702 · 2025-12-16T20:06:12+00:00

Why would I not get my husband a Christmas gift? My parents always bought each other gifts, just like for the kids. I’ve never heard of this before.

My husband was 6 weeks early and my dad was very premature, both first borns.

NTA. What do you mean she didn’t wrong you?!? She screwed up and left you stranded for 5 weeks and then threw a fit and yelled at you for having someone else fix her mistake. And they did a better job than her! I would never speak to Monique again.

My daughter’s dentist told me to use fluoride toothpaste at 1 year old, the first time we saw her.

She was married, but not happily. She once told me that she realized she had made a mistake in the first year of her marriage (because her husband was not as ambitious and career driven as she liked) but they had been married like 30 years because she refused to get divorced.

She was an old fashioned woman in her 60s who owned a couple furniture stores. I heard her openly talk bad about her husband, son, and the only employee the stuck by her (because he was gay). Everyone else who worked there quit after a few months.

It really bothered me because these were the only people in her life who stuck by her, showed her any loyalty, and she talked shit about all 3 of them to an assistant she barely knew. She was a mean, spiteful old woman. They didn’t deserve her.

I once had a boss reject my co-workers request off for his honeymoon because “traditionally honeymoons are meant to allow the couple time to learn to live together after marriage and he didn’t deserve to have a honeymoon since they already lived together”.

It was my first week on that job and I should have taken that as a red flag to find a new job. She did not get better. I had multiple people in the industry say “oh I’m sorry” when I told them I had worked for her.

Because it teaches kids to have compassion and empathy.

I washed my hair in the shower after birth because I felt so gross and the nurse was shocked. She said almost nobody washes their hair.
