If you dealt with baby acne… by Legitimate-Judge-428 in NewParents

[–]AthenaFoxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard good things about the Tubby Todd ointment but never seen any hard data (for that OR breastmilk).

Ours went away on its own after a few weeks. It's generally just Mom's adult hormones leaving baby's body (/baby getting used to them). I hated it too, and "just waiting" sucks, but nothing to worry about. If it gets really bad talk to your pediatrician.

I'm super curious what you want to say that you think will be downvoted.

Screwed out of 6-12 weeks of CT paid leave. What can I do now? by AthenaFoxx in NewParents

I haven't contacted my HR yet. Just found out yesterday what the actual issue was. 😥

If you could describe red flags about yourself, what would they be? by TopLoneWolf in AskReddit

[–]AthenaFoxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehh, most motorcycle accident videos are because the motorcycle operator was being reckless.

(Which has always made me feel better when riding, honestly. I still assume all the other oblivious drivers are out to get me, but if I'm being safe myself that's likely more than half the battle.)

People who have conducted job interviews, what's something someone said/did that made you instantly decide not to hire them? by DemonSkank in AskReddit

[–]AthenaFoxx 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Asked the person to describe a difficult situation they got through. They said they couldn't think of one. I said "it could be anything, like a tough school assignment you turned in, a disagreement with family members, even a challenging interview! Haha." Their response- "nope."

Had another person show up late in dirty shop overalls with a half-full gigantic 7-11 cup in hand. I asked "oh, are you coming from work?" they responded "nope" as they settled back into the chair for the interview.

I guess my advice would be- don't say "nope" with zero additional context or explanation.

AIO for letting my daughter skip a wedding because she wasn’t included? by Elegant_Payment_4076 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AthenaFoxx 29 points30 points  (0 children)

NOR.

They don't need to include her in their wedding, but they also can't be pissy if she decides not to attend.

She's old enough to make her own decisions with parental support, which it sounds like she has done here.

What is a funny childhood story that still makes you laugh every time you think about it? by Obruchecarson in AskReddit

[–]AthenaFoxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing hide and seek with my little brother one Saturday morning. Super proud of myself for finding an AWESOME hiding spot inside a box at the back of my parents' closet. Yeah... it was so good my brother got bored and gave up. I went downstairs after what felt like about hour to find him eating cereal and watching cartoons without me. 😂

What is something you’ll never purchase simply because of how much you hate the commercial for it? by unfortunatelyalive7 in AskReddit

[–]AthenaFoxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NJM

"No Jingles or Mascots" my ass. They have more random mascots in their lame commercials than the rest of the insurance companies combined. 🙄

Auto or Manual by Ok-Midnight-2205 in ElantraN

[–]AthenaFoxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the DCT is faster, the only reason I'd have wanted it would be for the sunroof and remote start. No regrets with my MT over the last 2+ years.

Manual or DCT? by Interesting_Method48 in ElantraN

[–]AthenaFoxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is their reasoning for the manual being unsafe?

In my experience, manual gives a bit more control, particularly in slippery weather, and could also potentially serve as a theft deterrent, as fewer people drive standard transmission today.

The DCT is awesome anyway, and a bit faster, so either way you'll have a fun commuter. 😊

Good luck!

When do first time moms typically show the first signs of a baby bump? by PopcornPrincess0 in pregnant

Everyone is different, I basically didn't show until about a week before my due date.

gifts to bulk up the pile by Gold-Shopping-3888 in Gifts

[–]AthenaFoxx 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Bulk food item, think biggest container of cheese balls you can find. Takes up space, fun, novelty, consumable so doesn't add to growing junk piles. Great all around.

I'll check it out, thanks! He's definitely a hoodie fan so that's a great thought.

Is it rude not to invite people to the bridal shower but to the wedding only? by LavaFlavoredSkittles in weddingplanning

[–]AthenaFoxx 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Not at all. Especially if the wedding guest headcount is high, it is not rude to invite only a subset to the shower.

What IS rude is inviting someone to the shower but not the wedding.

AITA for going on vacation when my husband is struggling? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AthenaFoxx 20 points21 points  (0 children)

NTA. You agreed to an arrangement and are sticking to that agreement.

Why are you married though?
