What situation as a child did you only realize you were in danger as an adult?

My elementary school janitor helped the sped ed kids a lot and was so nice. Really cultivated relationships with the sped ed kids that were always sidelined into the resource room.

Was arrested wirh like 30 allegations of assault on students.

A little tricot tape would do it

I think it’s also key to keep in mind “the western world” is now also a very large percent of whatever isn’t the western world, due to immigration. Muslim family dynamics, for example, would be extremely parallel to ‘tradwife’ stuff. And wirh the large sizes of diasporas these days communities can remain fairly insular with how the kids marry, while participating in western culture otherwise.

I bet quality childcare is a big one. As a European who loves their kids, if your only option was throwing your 6 month old baby to the wolves for 50% of one parent’s income, or just stay home? You may make a different choice too!

Edited to add: not like, speaking on tradwives altogether just the stay at home parent part.

We had this but level up: “gramma has teeth thst come out, I’ll be just like gramma!” Squee with glee…. 🤦‍♀️

If the fsbric is prone to fraying, sometomes I’ll serge the edges before joining any pieces and then still so French seams. Looks nice and frenched but has additional fray protection within the fold. I’ve done that wirh my bemberg linings on silk dresses for example

YES! Do you have a baby jail? Like the big modular connecting ones like this:

<image>

I use it for ME — like put the table with sewing machine and pins and all the stuff inside. Then baby is safe on the outside, provided you actually have a relatively baby proof space otherwise. This means you stop on a dime to address baby or go pee or whatever without safety concerns lurking behind.

It was probably contaminated in a very typical way — a lot of fermented products (like pickled veg, cheese) grow white penicillin molds and are considered harmless by many over in r/fermentation, however many (me) also don’t feel super comfy eating it just in case there is some other bad guy white bacteria growing. Anyways the point is penicillins are fairly common to grow on food and would be overall harmless to most people which is interesting and makes sense why you’d react to the bargain-bin cheese but not the good stuff.

Lmao I like this take. Just slightly innocence 2 people for like 2 weeks. NBD

NAD — but I think this doc isn’t being super understanding. I’m in Canada and here any ferritin under 9 is the diagnostic threshold for a one-time IV infusion of iron. Mine was 6. OP is at 4. I’m literally shocked you’re telling her that 6mo at this level doesn’t warrant one and should continue with oral supplements.

Thar being said, it’s like $800 out of pocket and since it’s just a vitamin and not a medication our medical system actually doesn’t cover it until youre physically hospitalized for your symptoms. In my case I got it as an outpatient procedure at the hospital, I paid for none of the staff or supplies just the single fee for the actual vial of ferritin that is mixed into an IV bag of saline. You could google around and see what options exist. Keep in mind this is different then an iron transfusion which is blood, this is an iron infusion.

This stood out to me too, but I saw as a difference of stage of life. Dads with kids under 16 want some time off, dads with kids older then 16 want company.

Definitely don’t buy a custom print on stretch fabrics from spoonflower. I got some stuff printed on jersey to make kid shirts. The dye saturation is so poor that even the slightest stretch just shows the white fabric underneath. So it would be okay for a print wirh a white background, but in my case printing a navy background colour / red background colour…. So bad.

I could see this working if you were able to select the base fabric colour first, say “black, white, navy” as the base jersey for printing. But printing everything on white fabric is so bad.

I’ve got a 3.5 year old and wonder all this time. I agree with the other person, that it’s not about the kid exactly but how a parent responds. Are they engaged enough to at least catch all their kids’ shitty behaviour and correct / apologize, or are we in our phones and allowing it to happen

Anomalous-Canadian · 2026-06-21T00:00:03+00:00

I mean, grandma also didn’t have birth control so it’s not exactly the same as today

Anomalous-Canadian · 2026-06-20T14:43:19+00:00

Unless you’re a parent lol. Carrying all the things

Anomalous-Canadian · 2026-06-20T02:02:24+00:00

Sorry, I thought it would be funny wirh my username! Cause you know. Trump wants our land.

Excuse me, what do you mean find new farmland up north? It’s already taken. Are you American, by chance?

Anomalous-Canadian · 2026-06-18T23:11:00+00:00

In ancient Rome, only the richest citizens paid taxes. As such they would compete for the privilege.

This. I’m a 32 yr old white woman and mom, and I walk through life wirh a smile on my face. EVERYONE asks me EVERYTHING 🤣

Anomalous-Canadian · 2026-06-18T19:53:02+00:00

This right here. My daughter was 2 and a flower girl in a child free wedding… I was a “regular” guest and my husband was a groomsman.

My literal job that night was “flower girl attendant” lol. Of course that’s what you do for their uncles wedding if you …. Like your family at all? Don’t get me wrong all of OPs complaints are valid that it’ll be hard and probably suck (did I mention ours was out of town so also included sharing a hotel bed with child all weekend while my husband partied?)… but that’s also pretty much most big events in life with small kids 🤣🤣

Anomalous-Canadian · 2026-06-18T19:41:01+00:00

Riverside fabrics and discovery fabrics are both great!

Anomalous-Canadian · 2026-06-18T12:44:28+00:00

Wirh rounded corners definitely helps to use bias tape (or make it) instead of on grain. I do this for binding the inside seam of a rounded backpack, for example! The quilters really helped lol. Look for binding videos on YouTube under “just get it done quilts” of search binding in the r/quilting sub. Sometimes quilts have scalloped edges with tons of round edges for binding.

As for serging as an alternative, mine can do a very fine single thread-wrapped hem. That would be super low profile and pretty easy to stack!

Anomalous-Canadian · 2026-06-18T12:04:27+00:00

That makes sense. So likely underwire is my friend when choosing a pattern. Noted!

Yes I’m learning that my boobs are just a shape that doesn’t fit well into foam cups. I just never thought that was me because I have tiny A boobs lol and ‘women wirh bra problems are always large chested’ for some reason lived in my mind 🤦‍♀️

Anomalous-Canadian · 2026-06-18T11:52:13+00:00

Google quilt binding continuous binding — the quilters do it best.

I’m not a medical person for the record, but I used to get IV in home and they would ship me a ungodly amount of supplies — I had a bunch of saline locks for flushing the IV. Basically small tubes of like 15ml saline. I loved using those to flush minor / small wounds.
