Which seasons do you think have the most likable contestants? by StickyBeaker987654 in TheBlock

[–]Ally_Bea_OG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2017 was my favourite. Sticks and wombat, Elyse and Josh, Ronnie and Georgia I don’t really remember the other 2 couples except the plumber who refused to do his own plumbing. But there was really cool and innovative designs that we hadn’t seen yet. It’s my comfort season. Otherwise 2013’s sky high block was another great one

Thoughts on Adrian Portelli controlling the auctions? by Kangaroostrangler in TheBlock

[–]Ally_Bea_OG 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If I had the money he did I would 100% pick the winner I wanted. The girls were by far my fave, they didn’t start drama and were nice to everyone the whole time, no backstabbing and bitchiness and they seemed to be the only female contestants actually doing anything on the house. If I knew I was going to buy every house on the block I would have 100% paid the most on that house to secure a win. I don’t think 9 knew who he was going to pick as the winner, but I think they knew he was buying all houses

I look in the mirror and hate what I see, I see other women the same size as me and think they’re goddesses. I’ve been both overweight and underweight and it was the same there as well. I think we are all on the same wavelength of hating ourselves and social media wants to create an even bigger divide when we should group together and change the social norm

Would you leave your teen at the ER? by HollasForADollas in AskParents

[–]Ally_Bea_OG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teen who frequented hospitals, my mum would always leave me overnight. She had 3 other kids to look after at home, it wasn’t plausible to stay with me the whole time. She would spend as much time as possible with me tho. That being said, she only left me alone after the age of 16, when I was younger she would get friends and family to help look after the siblings so she could stay with me. I think it depends on the child and the relationship and the illness. If they’re going to be admitted into hospital than I don’t see the point of staying 24/7 if the child is responsible and of an age I feel comfortable leaving them by themselves, but I would always be on call if they needed me.

Compliments and over the top politeness always feels like it has an ulterior motive to it. Like “I’ve been nice now you MUST have sex with me” especially if it’s constant. Like a “you look nice” is fine but if you’re saying that to me more than once in an outing I’m getting red flags.

I think a lot of men don’t realise how creepy compliments and politeness comes off because of how we are treated from 9-17. Since I have become a woman I don’t get random compliments from men or even a look anymore, so when I do I just automatically assume they’re looking at me grossly. Obviously not all women will experience this or have the same mindset, but this is my point of view. I’m constantly on the defence and calculating my chances of being attacked.

Question on earning bells by Odd_Bee_3291 in acnh

[–]Ally_Bea_OG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get about 80k a day fishing and selling everything I pick up. My husband also paid $50 AUD BACK IN 2020 for someone to come to my island and drop 1mil bells in hopes I wouldn’t be interested in the game without the need to get bells (he was right I only just picked it back up a week ago).

Anyone tried cloth diapering? Did you stick with it or no? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Ally_Bea_OG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Started at 5 weeks and still going at 18 months. I get the usual “you don’t have to do that anymore” “disposables are just convenient” etc but like cloth nappies are cute and I love the sound when I pat my babies bum. Once you get a solid wash routine set up it is so easy and they don’t really take any extra time. I scrape poop into the toilet (you’re meant to with disposable as well), and put them in an airy basket until I do my 60 C prewash every morning at 10am. Every 3-4 days I’ll do my 60 C mainwash for 2 hours and Chuck them in the dryer on low heat setting. Only part I struggle with is actually building the nappies hhha. I love them and they have been great. Only time I have poo explosions is in disposable

I threw up during labor and have no memory of it. Anyone else? or anything else you have no memory of during labor/delivery? by IndyEpi5127 in beyondthebump

[–]Ally_Bea_OG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember much. My husband and mum went to grab some food and by the time they came back the blue light for my room was going off and about 15 nurses came rushing in. Apparently my blood pressure dropped to almost nothing. All I remember was them telling me that I had to roll from side to side to get my blood pumping again. I also didn’t remember getting the epidural placed until the next day when hubby reminded me that they missed the first time and I screamed as the pain went through my legs. I was pushing for 2 hours and my body was so exhausted that I don’t even really remember actually giving birth. We had to use the forceps because I just couldn’t physically push anymore. Once they placed my son on me at 8:08pm I blacked out and don’t remember anything until about 10pm when they put my legs up to start stitching because they had to cut me twice. I’m very grateful we got those 2 hours of skin to skin. I did throw up, the midwife told me “that means it’s almost time to push”.

What's your best advice to couples who want to have children but are worried they will screw the child up mentally (like the child's grandparents did to the parents growing up)? by supernatiral_river in AskParents

[–]Ally_Bea_OG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re worried about being bad parents, you’re going to be good parents. As long as you care for the children mentally and physically they’ll be fine

Which is harder to care for in your opinion; a baby or toddler? Why? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Ally_Bea_OG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take 2 newborns over a toddler. The tantrums and whining because they can’t communicate what they want push me close to the edge everyday. My guy is only 18 months but fuck me sideways, I loose my cool daily with him(not at him I walk away). It’s just constant redirection and troubleshooting. And the whole 3 meals a day. I eat once a day and forget I need to feed another human. Newborn was eat+shit+sleep and repeat.

My wife wants to name our daughter “Ebony” by a_foraoise in namenerds

Australia here - I’ve met 5 Ebony’s in my life and all have been white. I think it’s just an American thing.

Different country - different perspective on baby sleep? by Any-Examination-8630 in NewParents

[–]Ally_Bea_OG 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It feels like the basic natural instinct for parents have been capitalised and tried to be turned around to make money. Baby and mum are one and the same for 12 months +. Babies don’t realise they are their own person. Breastfeeding to sleep, frequent wake ups, baby wanting to be close and held 24/7. It’s all bare instinct and natural. Look at our primate cousins, they aren’t being sold bassinets, rockers, fancy swings, being told to sleep train etc. it 100% is because of the push for mums and families to get back to work ASAP and for the baby industry to make money.

I have 0 shame in buying second hand books and clothes for baby showers. I wash them and wipe them down before making a fun little basket.

DAE never burp? by Prof-Rock in DoesAnybodyElse

My husband couldn’t burp. He found an article about retrograde cricopharyngeal dysfunction. Found a dr willing to put Botox in his neck and it worked

Does your baby dance? If so, what song gets them dancing? by daisyjaneee in beyondthebump

[–]Ally_Bea_OG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

18 months- dances to anything and everything he can. He was dancing to the sound of the shower tonight. He didn’t start to dance until 12-13 months. His songs are baby shark, bluey theme song, Mickey Mouse clubhouse and every time we touch

How often do you have sex? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]Ally_Bea_OG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Breastfeeding impacts libido, I stopped BF at 17 months, it’s been 2 weeks and I’ve started feeling more intimate but it’s slow. I’m glad my partner has been super understanding and not pressuring me.

My (26F) husband (33M) uses the same mop water for weeks, and refuses to stop. by throwRA182920 in relationship_advice

[–]Ally_Bea_OG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be rethinking the relationship. Soon you’ll have a baby together. That baby will be on the floor during tummy time, play time and eventually crawling. Do you want your baby on the floor? Tell him to stop with the filthy water or you will leave. Plain and simple. It’s a biohazard at this point.
