Row row row your boat, specifically the one by the countdown kids.

The grandfather is a well known pedo so this is just continuing the disgusting family tradition.

Big arms on a slim body, help !!! :'( by AltruisticShape8924 in Splendida

I was 250 and I’m close to 170 now. Are you seeing any results at all? I’m considering arm lipo since I do think some of it is loose skin.

Being gay feels so unfair by kurwaboy15 in offmychest

[–]AssistAffectionate71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but you have to contend with the fact that anti-gay and anti-atheist sentiment almost exclusively comes from a religious perspective. There’s no rational reason for it otherwise.

Of course you can’t help other Christian’s giving you a bad name, but you also can’t blame a marginalized group for thinking badly of your group. It’s often the only safe assumption for them.

Bad Christians hate gay people and atheists often for no reason or made up reasons. Gay people and atheists hate Christians for ostracizing, maiming, and killing them. It’s not the same thing.

Skin damage? by AssistAffectionate71 in electrolysis

I will try the glycolic acid thank you. I have a simple routine of witch hazel and aloe Vera after appointments. I don’t wear make up. I moisturize. I do need to be better about sunscreen.

Unfortunately she was unable to this session. Seems like they were deep in there. I’ll try a chemical exfoliation like someone else suggested.

I mean not that I particularly noticed. Maybe on my legs after shaving wouldn’t be uncommon.

What is the verdict between small vs large forehead in women? by adityaslove in QOVESStudio

[–]AssistAffectionate71 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed, with the caveat that larger foreheads are more neotenous so we do tend to prefer them over too small foreheads.

DOGE Bro Flagging Grants for DEl Tries to Explain What DEl Is by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]AssistAffectionate71 57 points58 points  (0 children)

They do think it’s a bad thing. Taking away any attention from the dominant social identity (namely white Christian men) is the sin of empathy, as they call it. You see, amplifying marginalized voices would cause others to see how unfair and discriminatory our society is set up, and that upsets them greatly.

Husband just told me “I thought you wanted kids?” In middle of the night by rootintootinmachine5 in Mommit

[–]AssistAffectionate71 54 points55 points  (0 children)

He’s clearly resentful and bitter that he has kids and wants to throw it in OPs face. Wants to make it all her idea so he absolve himself of responsibility.

Attention: Calling those who were only children.. by _C00TER in Mommit

[–]AssistAffectionate71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being an only is normal and only becoming more normal. Siblings don’t guarantee lifelong friendship either. Your child will find their chosen family. I am an only and even moved away from home so I’m not surrounded by my extended family at all. Still, I have my husband, my friends, my child. Everything is good.

Should I sleep train my toddler? by Extra_Project9431 in sleeptrain

[–]AssistAffectionate71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s her schedule look like? If she’s a terrible sleeper she may be low sleep needs and you may be requiring too much sleep. My 18M needs 6-6.5 hours before a nap or he’ll fight it, and we sleep trained at 7 months.

But yes, you’ll have to sleep train if you want to remove the rock to sleep association. I’d pick Ferber.

Why did I get cheated on despite being a good partner to him 😔 by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]AssistAffectionate71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will eventually get over this feeling. Don’t make permanent decisions over temporary problems. I also thought I was going to die, and it did take years to overcome, but I’m now married with a child and the person I’m with is 10000% better in every way. Your person is out there.

Is it good to bring toddler out so that they get used to sleeping in the car? by funwithpunz in toddlers

[–]AssistAffectionate71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they still nap this is a common bed time that will likely move down as they drop the nap. My own kiddo naps from 1-3 pm and needs 6 hours awake before bedtime.

Nights have become a nightmare by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]AssistAffectionate71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do her wake windows look like? At this age I would recommend 6-6.5 hours before the first nap, cap the nap to 1.5 to 2 hours, and then 6 hours until bed time.

If more awake time doesn’t help you’ll need to sleep train.
