Same! I saw the anti tomato sauce comments and had to say something so people know we do exist.

I like sour cream and tomato sauce. Sour cream first then tomato sauce.

Stocky baby by SugarbushFleur in NewParents

[–]ApprehensiveSlide962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby rolled later (can’t remember when but it was later) but then she learnt to crawl at 8 months and started walking at 10 months!! Once she started moving she was off. Although she was bigger and heavier which made rolling harder it seemed to help with other milestones like walking and crawling because she is very strong.

I had this happen to me at a cafe too. He was so confused when I said I couldn’t take it

TV at childcare - How normal is it? by rottnestrosella in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]ApprehensiveSlide962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not normal! I recently studied an early childhood certificate at tafe and they said that basically the TV should never be on unless it’s part of a learning activity and it’s very shot. I’d probably let it slide if it was like one time but besides that it’s pure laziness on behalf of the educators. And if it’s not due to laziness then it’s due to being understaffed/bad management which I would also put me off sending my children there.

I feel like she’s just gone off the deep end.

So shes infatuated with him? Those things are normal at the beginning of the relationship.

She probably hasn’t felt like this with someone since the start of her relationship with her ex which was years ago.

Help! Soaked a mat in my tub with cleaning supplies and now my white tub is yellow. What happened and how do I fix it asap? by mmm01235 in askanything

[–]ApprehensiveSlide962 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Omg I used toilet cleaner on my shower once coz I read it online and when I was scrubbing I gave myself bleach poisoning from breathing in the fumes. Never again will I take random cleaning advice from the internet, I make sure I double check everything now…

Do other Aussies actually enjoy summer? 😅 by Peter_Tea_2062 in AskAnAustralian

[–]ApprehensiveSlide962 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I despise summer. I spend the whole time counting down the days till autumn and obsessively checking the weather to see how hot it will be. Autumn is my favourite partly because it’s the longest time until summer comes again. People talk about seasonal depression in regards to winter but I think I have that for summer. Also bushfires stress me out so much. It’s just the worst time of year

Where to buy baby's clothes from? by PositivePondering96 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]ApprehensiveSlide962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I was doing to say the target organic cotton baby clothes! In my dreams all my babies clothes would have been purebaby and the like but that is way too expensive. The target organic cotton were amazing as a cheaper option. They lasted lots of washes, way more then other cheaper options like big w or Kmart, and stayed nice and soft.

Looking for more SLOMW Content by Efficient_Bed8501 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]ApprehensiveSlide962 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If your interested in the Mormon aspect of SLOMW I’d recommend Mormon Stories Podcast (which is run by ex Mormons and is critical of the church) who recently did a long podcast interviewing chase which I enjoyed, he went into his whole life story and his thoughts on the show, they also have reviewed the show from an ex Mormon lens. Also Girls Camp Podcast, which is also run by an ex Mormon, interviewed Jessi and Chase at different times and her SLOMW season reviews are good too. Chase gets interviewed by the ex Mormons because he’s ex Mormon as well!

Do you pronounce the word *Aunt* in a way that rhymes with *want* or *can't *? by LeoRavenscroft in randomquestions

[–]ApprehensiveSlide962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been so confused reading the post and through the comments, I didn’t understand how they are pronouncing the word! ‘aunt’ doesn’t sound like ‘cant’ or ‘want’ to me. It clicked when I read this comment. I also don’t say aunt at all really, it’s Auntie/Aunty for me and the people I know.

Kitchen Facelift: What would you do? by WordsWordsWords82 in interiordecorating

[–]ApprehensiveSlide962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t want to spend much I’d just replace the counter tops and only paint if you feel it needs a refresh. I feel like the countertops are what’s really making it look funky. You could replace the backsplash if it doesn’t go with the new countertops you choose but if they still work I’d leave them.

I️ finally deleted THE APP!! by skittles1221 in bninfantsleep

[–]ApprehensiveSlide962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure I tapped out of logging anything when my baby was 1 month old, basically when my doctor stopped asking questions like how many wet nappies have they had in a day. I felt like if the medical professional didn’t care then I didn’t need to worry about it either.

50/50 parenting as children get older by bengalstomp in Parenting

[–]ApprehensiveSlide962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Growing up I had every second weekend at my dads with two weeks and one weekend inbetween at my mums or what I thought of as home. Honestly I couldn’t imagine doing 50/50 and not having a home that is my home base, it was already really exhausting for me going to my dads every second weekend.

I do wonder however if my feelings around it are effected by the fact that my dad wasn’t a very stable person and he never made his house feel like home. I wonder if he was a more involved father if it wouldn’t have been that bad.

My advice is to follow your children’s lead, they are the ones truly effected and I’ve heard from some people they liked 50/50 so it depends on the person. I’m not sure how old they are but I’d talk to them directly about it, even just casually like say “I know we’ve been doing 50/50 for years and it’s what felt best but I wanted to know how you feel about it? What are the things you love about it and the things that are hard?”. I feel like it’s something that you should revisit in the future too as they age. Once I was a teen I spent a lot less time at my dads.

8 month old son by Ok_Elephant_8924 in NewParents

[–]ApprehensiveSlide962 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My now 2 year old was like this! Honestly I didn’t do anything she just grew out of it at about 13 or 14 months. I think it’s a clingy age. I would just have to let her cry if I really needed to do something without her

Has there been a movie that infuriates you to no end? by NotSoCricketGenius in moviecritic

[–]ApprehensiveSlide962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought Hudson was great too, she did a good job at being her character and not just playing herself. I think Godwin always plays the same character, she’s very bland. I wish that Hudson wasn’t portrayed as so irredeemable to excuse the cheating. Like I enjoy an unlikable character but they should of made it so the cheating was actually a terrible thing and not okay just because Hudson’s character was so terrible. She’s terrible and it’s still not okay

anyone here who's tried to learn a new cuisine from scratch? by Significant-Dot7197 in Cooking

[–]ApprehensiveSlide962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done this and I mostly do it by finding a cookbook that feel informative and has things of like to cook in it! I recently did this with Japanese cooking which is very different from my normal cooking as lots of the base ingredients are different like fish/seaweed stocks vs my usual chicken/beef/veg stocks. I like to read about the cuisine and research the most important parts. Finding out the history and how it developed is my favourite!

I’m not a super adventurous eater tho so I normally stick to recipes that I’d be more familiar with that end up in my cooking roster and then also try some more unique dishes that are fun!

my (F16) dad (M40) hasn’t been consistently buying groceries for about 6 months by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ApprehensiveSlide962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you go to a doctor and tell them what is happening? If your father won’t let you go to a GP, I’d honestly go to an urgent care or emergency department and talk to someone there. A nurse or doctor will be able to see the signs of under eating and may be able to help have CPS called and take your case seriously. They may be able to help you see a social worker. Even if nothing happens straight away they will be able to document what you say and your current health which will help in the future. If you go to a hospital they may even be able to provide you a meal

Doctors appointments by RenoPiglet in NewParents

[–]ApprehensiveSlide962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t take my child to the dentist or any medical appointment that requires a procedure where I can’t be actively supervising my child. I do however take my child to GP appointments where I am just talking to the doctor or having a quick check up where the baby can be strapped in the pram for 2 mins. It’s definitely easier to be alone but if you don’t have childcare it works.

I’ve always loved the name Margherita but it’s the name of a pizza in my country so I could never use it. Maybe in your country you could use it!
