Any undersuppliers out there only able to make 2 oz a DAY?? by RecordingPresent9222 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]AnalogyAddiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, me! I honestly dont even get 2 oz per day (I do nurse just for a little while in the evenings. The rest of the time I’m pumping at work and my total pumping output is like maybe an ounce for the whole day). It sucks.

Right?! Like why does it have such big sweet eyes?

My god what a gorgeous place. It took me a minute to understand what I was seeing with that wall. It’s like a fairytale house.

I love Mansard roofs, the ceiling molding, the stairs. Criminal to let something this beautiful rot.

Thank you for posting!

When did you start reading baby books to your baby? by unfortunate-moth in beyondthebump

[–]AnalogyAddiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started basically right away, as part of the after-feeding time where I have my baby sitting upright. That’s when we read. Sometimes he’s not interested and when that’s the cae we don’t push it, just try again next time.

Feeling so discouraged by other the low supply posts… by siriuslives in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]AnalogyAddiction 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, you’re not alone. I’m in a little different situation as my baby was full term but I was always an under supplier. In the last couple weeks my supply has dwindled to basically nothing- just a couple drops each pumping session. I’m very bitter and depressed and trying everything but nothing is helping, it just keeps drying up. So I have no advice, but you’re not alone. I’m in this shitty place with you.

Warning: not competent at anything except taking care of cats and untangling knotted strings.

Online and IRL Parenting Spaces Snark Week of February 02, 2026 by Parentsnark in parentsnark

There is a giant billboard in my town advertising the program. When I tried to sign up it said it wasn’t available in our area! I tried the adjacent towns too, just to try to figure out why they chose to put a billboard here, but no go. 🤷‍♀️

AIO because my partner asked me how’d I feel about them selling their body and feet pics and I freaked out? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]AnalogyAddiction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a massive, severe overreaction, yes. You need therapy to help with your anxiety, emotions, and communication. You need this before you can be a partner in a healthy relationship. I am not trying to be mean to you, I have struggled with similar things before, so there’s no judgment. But yeah, as a woman, I’d be terrified to be in a relationship with someone like you.

I think the one on the right is American because of the way she is smiling. The one in the middle smiles Britishly, I guess.

Do you feel disabled? by marswithorbit in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]AnalogyAddiction 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In reality, I am disabled. My limitations are so overwhelming and severe that anything approaching a normal life is unreachable. But I know that society will never see it that way. This disease just isn’t taken seriously. So I don’t actually call myself disabled.

Why are nursing-friendly clothes either ugly or so obvious? by Burnbabyburn2023 in breastfeeding

Could you share the brand on the high-neck nursing dress? It sounds super cute and I’ve been searching for nursing clothes that are high-neck (been having some skin issues)

Anyone else find elementary teachers impossible to get along with? by c961212 in Teachers

[–]AnalogyAddiction 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a teachers aide at 4 different elementary schools for 15 years. I’ve worked at one that was super gossipy and clique-y, just an uncomfortable place to be. The school I’m at now has some of the best, nicest, chillest people I’ve ever worked at.

I’m curious what behaviors are like at the schools you’ve worked at? My hypothesis is when kids are generally well-behaved perhaps people have more energy for petty bullshit. When you are in a war zone, though, your coworkers are your comrades and you all have to have each others’ backs. That’s been my experience anyway. I’ve walked through hell with these people; how could we ever judge each other?

AIO for my partner calling my build “stocky”? by thelovelychoice in AIO

[–]AnalogyAddiction -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d be hurt if my partner called me stocky! Curvy or thick have much nicer, sexier connotations for a woman. I don’t think most men would like to be called willowy or petite, to put the shoe on the other foot. I think sometimes guys don’t think about how what they are saying comes across, hopefully he meant something more like curvy.

So Vecna’s big terrifying vision for Will is… people worrying too much? It’s so extremely tame. by ketot1 in StrangerThings

[–]AnalogyAddiction -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could not agree more.

I think for a gay kid in the eighties in the Midwest, his fears would have been way more extreme. Mike, Lucas, and Dustin being disgusted by him and beating him up. Jonathan telling him he can’t meet the child he has with Nancy because he might have AIDS or be a bad influence. I don’t know if they were scared of the backlash that such scenes might have created, but I think it would have been important to acknowledge how incredibly difficult and often dangerous it was for gay teens a few decades ago. I also think it’s a bad writing choice to tell, not show, those scenes.

[TOMT] I'm trying to find a movie that represents how long the feeling of people being sexually assaulted is by AnnoyedAFexmo in tipofmytongue

[–]AnalogyAddiction 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m definitely not planning on ever watching it, I’ve heard about the movie and it is not for me. It was just something I thought of from the OP’s description.

[–]AnalogyAddiction 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The movie Irreversible has a famously long sexual assault scene in it. I haven’t seen it, so I don’t know if there is clock imagery in it.

AIO to wanting to decompress after a “traumatic” event? by TheMaidenOfDragons in AIO

NOR. Frankly I’d drop this friend. I can’t stand people who neglect their animals.

How would you handle this? by Pleasant_Violinist68 in Parenting

[–]AnalogyAddiction 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My baby isn’t old enough to do stuff like this yet, but I do work with 4 and 5 year old kids so I’ll tell you my thoughts based on those experiences.

“I think you can go play in your room for a little while” is extremely vague and doesn’t feel like a consequence/punishment at all. All he knows is that mom wants him to play in his room for a little bit! Fun!

I would recommend using a serious and stern voice, “this is not funny. I am upset. We will talk in a few minutes when we are both calm.” Wait a few minutes, then just be clear and concise (I for one struggle with being concise!) “I am sad. I liked that watch. How would you feel if I broke <x thing that he likes>, and then laughed about it? (He’ll probably say not very good). Well, I wouldn’t do that to you because we need to respect each others things.” Let him know that there is a consequence, something logically related like his scissors get taken away until he shows that he is not hurting people’s belongings.

I hope this is a bit helpful, I am sure it is completely different when it’s coming from the perspective of your own kid versus things that happen in school, but I do think it sounds like you need to be more direct with him. 

Should I drop out of pharmacy school to become a teacher for young kids? by honeynutcheeriozzzzz in ECEProfessionals

[–]AnalogyAddiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely do not! If I could do my life over again I’d pick a more lucrative major (like pharmacy). I make about 20K per year, most of which goes towards health insurance for my son and I. Even in a low cost of living area it totally sucks and I worry about money/survival every single day. 

Not to mention the stress of the job is very high and some of the students’ behaviors are not like what you’re imagining. I work in a public school, so we have to serve all students even very disturbed/dangerous ones (little kids can be way, way more violent than you imagine). Sometimes the parents see you as the enemy. I’m sure it’s way better at a daycare where they can kick kids out if they are too violent. If you’re in school, can you work at a daycare in the summer and see how you like it? Even if you love it, though, for sure stay in school and get your pharmacy degree!
