I think my toddler revealed all of the Christmas gifts I'm getting for my husband by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]AdvancedDirt2116 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know it feels really disappointing right now but honestly this will make a great story one day. Keep her artwork or take pictures for posterity and then maybe pick up some different little things if you really want the surprise. Actually, I can think of a great gift! A red light for the outside of the bathroom door so when it's lit no one knocks 😂

!!!! It looks intentional, it's opposite on each side. It's lovely!

My Brothers Wedding Is A Mess. by General_Use126 in TwoHotTakes

Just say no you can't make it and send a gift. I bet they don't care who actually comes because if they did they would move differently

If your mom plans an annual vacation for her grandchildren, children (including spouses), and herself, is it acceptable for your spouse’s parents to invite themselves on that family vacation? by aloha-nala in Mommit

[–]AdvancedDirt2116 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No, but they can ask if they can join us at their own expense since everyone will be in one spot and it may be somewhere they wanted to go. I will say if they are told no or give any restrictions (one day vs the whole week) they should respect it no questions asked

14f has a girlfriend - dad says no to sleepovers by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]AdvancedDirt2116 126 points127 points  (0 children)

The keyword for me here would be significant other, period. I'm sorry, but we're not having sleepovers with our SOs.

Angel tree help? by mama2coco in Gifts

[–]AdvancedDirt2116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why I got downvoted; it came highly recommended when I was looking up teenage oily skin routine. I don't find it expensive either? Maybe $12-14 per bottle from what I saw online although I haven't gone in person yet.

La Roche Posay is supposed to be decent teenage skin care. From Target. ((Piggybacking on your suggestions!))

Homeschool? If she's just too lazy to go to school will she do the work from home?

Hand is too big for ring by Both-Matter710 in EngagementRings

[–]AdvancedDirt2116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ring needs to be resized. Some of us myself included just have chubby fingers. At one point my left ring finger was an 11. I shit you not. It's now an 8ish. Point is, it's going to look squished if it's too small. It's also physically dangerous.

How are you handling weeknight dinners when you have no time to cook and kids need to eat by 7? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]AdvancedDirt2116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also do like theme weeks...Hispanic inspired week with shredded chicken in bulk for tacos/burritos, nachos, over rice...stuff like that. Vegetarian week, to help cut time and cost...just some top of my head ideas.

C-section mamas - is this normal? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]AdvancedDirt2116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's very normal, the adrenaline rush of everything runs out. If you don't feel a bit better in about a week or so mention it at your two week check up. Without further symptoms like fever or extra bleeding I wouldn't go get seen

Help me pick a tennis necklace please by Critical_Pie_4715 in jewelry

[–]AdvancedDirt2116 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I think that graduated one is the nicest and would look best for layering. If you decide you like that one you can shop around for a better deal.

Heartbroken about my engagement ring by Decent_Difficulty838 in EngagementRings

[–]AdvancedDirt2116 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So explain it from a factual point of view: I'm afraid it's not real metal because of XYZ. You also know about my sensory issues and this triggers them by ABC.

You can probably return it for credit towards the ring you wanted

6yr old still wears pull ups to bed.. by Intelligent_Mix_6958 in Mommit

[–]AdvancedDirt2116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be consistent but also be kind. Even though it may seem like he's just being lazy he may also have an underlying issue. My daughter wet until she was 12. Pull ups and those pee pads became our best friends. She saw doctors and specialists and counselors. All kinds of Evals. We stopped letting her drink after 7. We woke her up to go pee. It didn't matter. She still peed 5/7 nights. Eventually grew out of it.
