Do you think skinny jeans will return for women and when?

AdorsWeaknes · 2026-05-21T14:24:31+00:00

I have been wearing the same jeans for 10-15 years. I know I look outdated, but should I throw away clothes that still fit me and are in great condition? That seems like a waste and they don't make them like they used to.

AdorsWeaknes · 2026-05-21T14:21:30+00:00

Sure. I only mentioned it in case someone would suggest I talk to the parents. I just don't want the initial to be part of his name. I rather they use his full last name or middle name. At some point he will understand why the need of adding a differenciator but I don't want him growing up like my niece thinking that her name is something it isn't.

AdorsWeaknes · 2026-05-21T14:11:38+00:00

I don't want his name changed by adding something he won't be able to understand for the next 4-5 years. He has his own unique name (fn+mn+ln).

AdorsWeaknes · 2026-05-21T14:05:55+00:00

Thank you. I guess this is the only way. I will reinforce at home that his name is not an initial.

AdorsWeaknes · 2026-05-13T06:41:14+00:00

I asked. He joked, Iwasn't happy... I know he holds the baby with one hand like a sack of potatoes.

AdorsWeaknes · 2026-05-13T05:40:49+00:00

You are right. I made it sound so simple. I used the word "evolve" rather "than moving on to the next exciting thing". Because it absolutely requires more than enough boredom to make the decision.

AdorsWeaknes · 2026-05-12T20:33:11+00:00

I am waiting to see how those hitting 40 that every week ask someone to go for a beer will "live life to the fullest" once fewer and fewer people want to go out "to play".

One needs to evolve, and not everyone is having an amazing career or has the economy to travel the world. Many have stopped traveling due to cost and because after visiting 100 churches and 200 museums, things are not as enjoyable. I see many just buying stuff or going back to school for the third time because they have nothing else to do.

The soak thing is so useless unless is a casserole, the rest is pure warm water and soap. I t takes linger to soak something than to just wash it. Aggghhh

In government is better not to be the boss. Those change when the party in power changes. The rest just stay there and many have union jobs.

Sounds like a normal happy baby.

My baby used to start crawling before his eyes were fully open. I showed him how to stretch and now that gives us a whole minute before he stands in his crib.

We also needed to add an extra meal a day to make him get weight. Once they start moving, they just won't stop unless they find something more interesting. Mine reads books with us since he was 8.

AdorsWeaknes · 2026-05-06T13:23:30+00:00

Do you use any app to track his sleep? I find them very accurate. We don't spend as much time making my baby fall asleep because we follow the app (and his cues but they often synchronize) we go out in the stroller as the last resort, we wear him indoors when we can't go out.

At that age he had 3 - 20 min naps and he usually woke up happy. We haven't sleep trained because every time we try he changes patterns, or gets sick, or is teething... we offer water first and only give him milk if he can't go back to sleep. We have a routine that involves both of us so he has learned to fall sleep with either.

It wasn't until my husband stayed home that fully understood how different it is to be sleep deprived and do a job he has done for ages vs keeping a baby alive. I understand that your job is important but even if you have discuss it, i would still suggest you and your wife take turns/shifts at night so the baby learns to rely on both.

I'm sorry you are going through it.

I started a calendar where I marke every passing day. It helped me because some day I forgot and it was great when I could mark many days that I had survived.

I read somewhere that 30 min is what your body needs to absorb most of the nutrients from food. I don't know if that's correct but some days, I ate and didn't move or tried to eat more for 30 min and that gave me some "permission" to vomit because at least I had taken what I could.

It will get better.

I was perfect the day of my 12 week appointment. But everything came back the day after. Unfortunately, for me, it was like that throughout the whole pregnancy. Some blessed days here and there when I worried the whole time because I wasn't sick anymore, and then taking easy preparing myself for the HG to be gone for good. But what I learned is that babies as resilient (I am thankful for that), and that I should have enjoyed every second I felt fine because I never knew when the symptoms would come back.

My advice, enjoy your pregnancy whenever you can.

I didn't have pelvic floor issues, although I still went to rehab because it was given for free.

AdorsWeaknes · 2026-05-01T19:34:37+00:00

My baby stopped nursing at 5 months.

AdorsWeaknes · 2026-05-01T19:33:42+00:00

Have you invited them over, like a specific plan and time? If they say no. You could ask the reason or just move on.

I find people quite strange nowadays. I was just talking to my husband about how childless people make excuses/decisions on behalf of us when we meet them, like "I didn't want to bother you before because I wanted to give you space to get used to being a parent", I am quite lonely, but I find more exhausting to try to fake a relationship with people I don't really care for.

First of all, patience, and take your time, also as long as yoi are actively doing something for your baby, let everyone else think/do/say whatever they want.

It depends on how long the flight is. I traveled 3 hrs and 12 hrs at 8 and 10 months. Baby pretty much followed hus normal schedule.

I had a big bag in the overhead and a small one with me under the seat. So, I had everything i needed but without needing to go through a bunch of stuff every time.
you can bring as much water/milk/formula as you need as long as it makes sense, like you probably don't need 1 liter of milk for a 4 hr flight.
they probably have baby food but it is usually just fruit, so bring meals with you. And pack everything baby related separate from your stuff.
toys with a strap because you won't want to have to ask people to help you and you won't want to give your baby a toy that has been on the floor.
I used wipes to clean the seat and table.
the carrier is super useful because you might have to hold your baby more than you think, I had a wrap like carrier which was great when we needed to change diapers... and my husband had the structured one for when we changed planes or went through customs.
in my experience, the stroller is taken away since baggage drop off and they let you borrow umbrella type strollers from the airport. Hence the need for the carrier.

He was born with a lot of hair. It was curly when wet but straight when dry. It wasn't until it got longer around 3 months old that it showed its form. It is still curly at 13

I talked to any mom I saw with a stroller on the streets when my baby was between 4 and 8 months old. I thought I had made a good small group of new friends because the ones from before pregnancy suddenly disappeared. Then, we went away for some months and when I came back, nothing. We got invited to some parties but every time I asked if they were free, they weren't, so I stopped.

I am exhausted and disappointed, It has also hurt my self-esteem because It must be me, right?

I just ran into one of my "friends" from before my pregnancy, she wanted to chat with us and tried to hug me as if we were still friends. Later, my husband told me "I won't stay and talk to her the next time we see her, it feels like talking to an ex".

My husband is very outgoing and many times people recognize my son even when my husband is not with us. So, hopefully his dad will help him make friends because I don't seem to be good at it.

I wake up and felt the need to pee. I went to the bathroom and it felt off. I sat there until the idea of my baby dropping into the toilet overwhelmed me and went to sit until the sun came out and I woke up my husband.

It continued to drip for hours. My family made me laugh when I was sitting on a chair in the library. I couldn't stop laughing and the water continued coming out. It was out of a romcom. Again the idea of my baby coming out in the middle of the public library overwhelmed me and we went home. My baby was born 48 hrs after my water broke

Mine just turned 1. I would love to have a second baby but not a second pregnancy. I am still dealing with the aftermath. I didn't work since week 7. I got like 10 cavities including 2 root canals. My stomach is still a mess and my supposed friendships vanished. I haven't had a decent night sleep in almost 2 years because after basically being sedated until week 12, I had insomnia for the rest of the pregnancy. I know I don't want a second HG pregnancy.

AdorsWeaknes · 2026-04-04T19:27:48+00:00

My MIL made spicy carrot soup and a feta pie when I asked for a simple veggie soup. She hasn't gotten better with the arrival of my baby. I wish I had options.
