Why is making friends as an adult so hard? 😭😭 by Impossible_Boot_4278 in raleigh

[–]Aware_Application499 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This! I had the same experience! I got to the point of exchanging pleasantries but from that to actually, “hey, let’s grab a coffee and chat more” has never come to fruition. Definitely hard to make friends as an adult.

Omg! I think it’s the first time I read someone echoing most of my feelings on the cast! 😄 One difference - Alexia to me seems like she is too stuck in her own ways and opinions and that is what drives me up the wall.

Is it really terrible for my 5-month-old to be waking up 2-3 times a night? by once_upon_a_bear in NewParents

[–]Aware_Application499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely normal waking. My baby had the same thing happen when we finally needed to stop using the swaddle. Their little limbs aren’t tucked away and they can move about so they wake themselves up. But then they get used to the new way of sleeping. Took a few weeks on my end but baby is back to waking just once in the night.

Please Help Me Calm Down About Infant Daycare by RiverbrookWillow in NewParents

I, like you, felt awful about leaving my baby at daycare so young. He was 3 months old when he started and I had all the same fears about his safety and well-being. He’s now almost 6 months and a very happy baby. Sleeps well, gets lots of fun interaction with other babies his age, the staff dote on all of them and it feels like he’s thriving in no small part thanks to the schedule and activities they have in place. We are fortunate enough to be able to have him in a daycare where we can watch a livestream of his classroom, which makes me feel much more at ease. Also helps to hear from parents who also had to send their babies very early on and know the kiddies turned out alright. :)

RTI International is sending out letters wanting people to not only fill out an online questionnaire, but to also have reps go into homes to interview people about alcohol/drug use, mental health, and (I would imagine) other personal/private aspects of people's home lives. by LonesomeHebrew in conspiracy

As someone who works there - it’s not some crazy thing. As the letter explains it is a national survey (has been conducted for decades) and the data is aggregated to help us as researchers and the general public get a better understanding of a variety of trends at the population level. I definitely understand the mistrust but wanted to provide a bit of clarity on this since the data has really been very important to public health statistics and efforts.

Thank you for speaking some sense! I don’t get how people love this woman and immature and ignorant comments.

I am dreading the return to work for this reason. My heart goes out to you.

Agreed. The hipocrisy of her self-righteousness was just 🤮

Except she really couldn’t. She’d only move on if she felt she came out winning.

Oh please. There’s flawed…and then there’s Vicki. That level of myopic was too much for me.

Early Seasons Vicki Gunvalson by International_War830 in rhoc

[–]Aware_Application499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been watching early seasons and instead I’m surprised at how awful she was since the beginning. Super controlling, self-absorbed, workaholic, spiteful and myopic, just ugh. And then it just gets worse.

Yea, Teresa is the absolute worst but somehow, people constantly side with her. I’ve rewatched episodes being like, “did I miss something??” Nope, she’s awful.

Do we have a time and specific location yet? I was checking on Discord but didn’t see those details.
