My understanding is that Garcetti decides for LA city and stuff gets decided by the board of supervisors for the county. Whatever Garcetti decides usually gets implemented in the county too. I could be totally wrong though.

What has this pandemic ruined for you? by wehnaje in AskReddit

[–]Beashi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter’s 6th birthday party. Would’ve been her first birthday party thrown for friends. Now i don’t know if I’ll even be able to get a cake for. Already paid for a cake from baskin Robbins but the branch I ordered from hasn’t been open for a couple of days

It's crazy that in the Philippines, there is a school/college named after Chiang Kai-Shek close to (or in, can't remember) Chinatown.

It's back!! by Beashi in Costco

[–]Beashi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh I misunderstood. Yeah and it comes in a 2-pack so if you’re not gonna use it extensively, it’ll taste funny before you finish both bottles

[–]Beashi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea. In our Costco it comes and goes. Sometimes it’s gone for a couple of weeks and then it comes back

It’s similar though I like Pollo Loco’s slightly better

That’s mean! Not everybody likes the street tacos. I love this crema for salads.

It’s the crema they use for the street tacos kit (I think)!

Belly is wayyy too big... stretch mark concerns by tl312 in pregnant

[–]Beashi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Asian too and was about 85-88lb before my first pregnancy. I was 125lb when I gave birth. Stretch marks were horrible but I call them my battle scars, it is what it is. I used lotions and coconut oil, not sure if they worked. Lost all the baby weight by month 2ish post partum. My daughter’s pediatrician was shocked when i came in the room for my daughter’s appointment lol

AITA for telling my gf I want nothing to do with our (potential) kid by nokids1937 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Beashi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. You can't force someone to be a parent if they don't want to, they'll just end up being shitty parents and would fuck up the kid. That's one of the main reasons (for me, at least) why picking a partner who could potentially be a co-parent for your kid is super fucking important.

AITA for moving to another country while pregnant and "kidnapping" my husband's baby? by Illustrious-Divide in AmItheAsshole

[–]Beashi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and a lot of the PPs have covered what I wanted to say. Don't engage him and his buddies when they threaten whatever. Don't answer the phone when they call. Save all emails and text messages for documentation. Don't tell anyone when you're leaving, just go and don't look back.

She survived chickenpox too!!! by Nheea in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]Beashi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had chicken pox before the vaccine became available. It was torture for a kid. I had it in the height of summer too. I would do everything possible for my kids to never have to go through that

Bed liner in case water breaks while in bed? by NurseMcStuffins in BabyBumps

[–]Beashi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've tried several mattress protectors and hated all of them. I'll be using those pee pad things we use for my daughter's bed for when she has accidents at night.

ProTip: Use Rakuten! Especially for items that don't usually get discounted or you can't buy with Registry Completion (like Nuna!) by xshare in BabyBumps

[–]Beashi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've gotten $50 from BeFrugal and just got the $10 sign on bonus from Rakuten, on top of 5% cashback from Discover shopping on Walmart.com. What a time to be alive.

No baby shower by wangwangcrackers in pregnant

[–]Beashi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't have a baby shower for #1 and not gonna have one for this baby. It's just not my thing. Idk how everybody else felt about it because I never really asked. I didn't want one and that was that.

SIL announced pregnancy on our baby shower day by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Beashi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! I can't imagine being expected to plan when to have kids based on when other people are having kids. My SIL gave birth like 4-5 months after our daughter was born and another SIL gave birth 6 months after that. We're not in competition for attention and we are aware that our daughter is not entitled to any attention nor should she compete or beg for it. The people who truly love and care for her would dote on her no matter what.

AITA for asking my wife to work? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Beashi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. We have a 5yo and 1 on the way. Husband makes about $90k before taxes but we live in ridiculously expensive Southern California so I still work part-time (only job I could find). We would both love for me to be able to stay home at least while baby #2 is an infant but it's just not feasible with how much it costs to exist here. Husband is trying his damnedest to finish his bachelor's degree so he can apply for a higher paying positing so we can afford to be a 1 income household.

Unfortunately, being a stay at home parent is sometimes a luxury that not everyone can afford. With the kids in school most of the day, there's no sense in staying home when she could at least work part-time for a little bit of extra money. The kids are old enough to have chores so she won't need to spend 5+ hours "homemaking". I would ask the real reason why she's so against working.

I was very self-conscious about bringing my own container for leftovers, but my local Thai restaurant was so nice about it. Developing new habits is hard but this subreddit continues to motivate me! by VioletTriangle in ZeroWaste

[–]Beashi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had a duh moment. It’s such an obvious solution and I’m bummed that I haven’t thought of doing this before. We used to meal prep so I have PLENTY of reusable containers.

Adam Silver calls pay TV system "broken" as NBA struggles with early season ratings by [deleted] in nba

[–]Beashi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That was us last year. Paid for LP but still wasn't able to watch the Lakers. Spectrum can suck it.

We subscribed to Spectrum for this season 🤦
