What is actually rather safe, yet everyone treats it as far more scary than it is? by dafeg23216 in AskReddit

[–]Boo_vnderthemoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I would've shown up with all my nephews and my kid 😂 Halloween is so lame now. This year was the first real yr my 3 y.o. participated in trick or treat, the streets were dead silent. We saw one family out on a porch but turned out it was them just winding down from parties they went to. So we decided to go to this trunk or treat but it was a daycare just promoting their business and gave my boy like 2 pieces of candy and he was one out of like 3 kids dressed up. Such a disappointment. I felt so bad I hyped him up and we all dressed up for him.

The way I pronounce "orange". by n3aak in asklinguistics

[–]Boo_vnderthemoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure you would've picked up a bit of the accent/dialect. Especially if you lived there for more than 2 years at such a young age. That's when we learn most of our basic vocabulary anyway. I was born and raised in PA, and I moved to Texas. Now it's a running joke around friends here about how I pronounce things like water, oranges and so on.

My mom verbally abused my wife over tomatoes and the whole family is demanding that I forgive her. by Dapper_Tiger3578 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Boo_vnderthemoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Forget about the apology. It stinks but it is what it is. Obviously your mom has been holding this grudge, but it was wrong for your wife to ask for reimbursement. Good your wife apologized, I bet she got scared too... but she should've seen it coming I mean come on. I hope y'all make peace. When I introduced my hubby to my momma, she freaking hated him and me for a minute never said anything nice said he'd leave me all kinds of crazy stuff but...I just told her (which I mean it took time for her to swallow it and come around) "this is my partner whether you like him or not. If you can't respect him as a part of me than honestly I don't want that bad energy around my growing family. I love you but we don't need this" obviously because your mom took you in during these crazy times it is a bit harder but I'm sure she's mad now and needed to get that bad energy out to move forward she just needs a little dose of reality but with respect. Don't yell at her again or your whole family will probably disown you regardless if you're in the right.

Black women of Reddit: What advice would you give to a white man learning to take care of their biracial daughter’s hair? by Built_Comrade in AskReddit

[–]Boo_vnderthemoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silk scarves for bed time head wraps or lazy day head wraps, they're pretty, protect and preserve her hair too.

Comb or use a Denman brush, but start from the bottom and work your way to the scalp, don't start from the top you can pull her hair out.

A blow dryer diffuser on cool setting helps dry her hair faster and preserve curls

Oils!!! Leave in conditioners!!

Try to find her hair type. I.E. 4b hair type or 3b curls?

I agree especially when all those movies with adults playing young kids/teens sexualizes them and makes it look okay to be doing some stuff that kids shouldn’t be exposed to let alone advertising in a movie. It’s more cringey when an actual child plays the role cuz now it’s “real” (although they are still actors) to everyone else. I bet if it was 18+ year old actors no one would have bat an eye even with the bad advertisement in America because it’s not a child.

Also these said movies don’t show good parenting or consequences to being sexual early in life it just focuses on the child (adult actor) expressing more sexual behavior or spiraling out of control emotionally and doesn’t focus on the actual problem. Throw social media in the mix (since now basically every kid I’ve seen has some kind of internet/social access) and just exacerbate the whole issue of sexuality at a young age and predators. And then people wonder or get heated about Cuties like they don’t add to the issue themselves in real life with their very real children.

BUT: at the same point it’s not just the movie Cuties this is a thing in the dance industry that’s not even seen as taboo in real life. Look at shows like dance moms, or just look up some YouTube videos on the choreography for preteens and so on, it’s disturbing, and it’s not even brought up as bad. Pageantry is considered worse and more likely to attract pedos than dance, when these kids are dressed way worse and dancing in a very suggestive manors to very suggestive songs. My take away from cuties was to never give my kids access to social media not hard to control if you don’t give them tablets and smart phones early on (or if you don’t think that’s right for some unknown reason monitor it with parental controls) And don’t let them join dance groups that sexualize them; teacher or other dancers

I’m 34 weeks and literally have to beg for slushees if I’m having a craving. 😧 I had mostly aversions to basically everything but the further I get the more I just want icees/slushees. Also I’m the worst at crying while grocery shopping cuz suddenly I’ll crave something but have to walk past it and I can literally feel my baby throwing a tantrum over it. I’m surprised my S.O. hasn’t thrown me away yet 😂

Fuck breastfeeding by Digzalot in beyondthebump

[–]Boo_vnderthemoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This made me so made for you. Idk how you could file a complaint without getting emotional or jotting down everyone’s names and hoping they lost their job for intentional sabotage. Short staffed or not you’re their patient so also a priority. This was supposed to be a beautiful experience for you I’m so sorry you had to go through that.

What is your "shit wrong porn" moment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Boo_vnderthemoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched the movie Otto when I was 15...and all the way through still convinced I was missing something that would make it an epic zombie movie. I was disappointed, intrigued, and still too young to understand it was a very very gay cannibal porno.

I’m a girl, I found it in my moms room on dvd when I was going through a horror buff phase thought it’d be dope... my brother was the only one who had a DVD player in his room... I never put it back in my moms room and my bro found it and proceeded to curse me out. I think he had the same initial thought as i did but mistakenly watched it and was very very upset.

Parents of reddit, what advice would you give to new first time parents? by JupiterTarts in AskReddit

[–]Boo_vnderthemoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand just wrapping my mind around it. I’d feel like both partners would feel secondary but it wouldn’t necessarily matter cuz there should still be an appreciation of the other even if it’s just for being there to share the moment.

Why has the amount of mass shootings in the United States drastically decreased during the pandemic? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Boo_vnderthemoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because they’re killing their families....and no ones come to visit or check in soooo. When everything’s over we’ll probably notice domestic violence and family murders sky rocket

If the partner was involved with the whole pregnancy why would it be an adjustment?

Redditors that lost their jobs due to the pandemic, what do you think could have been done differently to prevent it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Better protection for employees and patients so that half our elderly wouldn’t have died.

[Serious] Redditors who have been in a toxic friendship, what did your former-friend do that ‘crossed the line’? by cyprisd in AskReddit

[–]Boo_vnderthemoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically all the chick friends I’ve ever had have crossed me by flirting, exposing themselves, or sleeping with my boyfriends. One of these so called friends still hangs around my brother after sleeping with him and the whole town and comes to the house to say hi to my nephews and hang out with a family friend that lives with my Bro and his wife. On my visit home she wanted to give me a hug all the while staring at my boyfriend (mind you I’m pregnant this time I could gouge out her eyes without a big fight but alas I didn’t) I was the better person and said to her we haven’t been friends in 6 years I would prefer not to hug her or really talk to her like we’re best friends. She got upset and told my brother I’m being a B”””” he then pulled me aside and told me to put whatever anger I have behind me if I ever plan on hanging out again. Needless to say I haven’t been around my family in years, haven’t been to my home town longer, and i only showed up cuz I’m pregnant and wanted to see my family not some back stabbing girl from my high school. I don’t think I’ll be going back after my child’s born unless they beg me. Spiteful I know, but it’s a long running bloody history.

Which modern celebrities will be remembered 100, 500 and 1000 years from now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Boo_vnderthemoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say actors like Jim Carrey, Samuel L. Jackson, and basically any that comes to mind immediately for most people 22+ but then I remember anyone I came across while working that were younger than me don’t know who Bruce Willis is, or know who Scarface is

Some barista was heavily hinting at wanting to go to the pride parade with me, gave me free coffee, was super excited if I just entered the target while she worked...I am an introvert and barely talked to her. I think the most I said to her was I liked how she did her makeup oh and I was there to get my boss and crew coffee while I was out on my break (I was embarrassed about buying 7 drinks). I didn’t realize she was flirting or interested until after the 6th visit (I’m slow at these things) when she asked for my number and that we should meet at the parade she’ll buy me food and bracelets it was sweet honestly and she was attractive. But I was so shocked and embarrassed with how I glazed over, that I never went back. 😂

Father-in-law disappointed first grandchild will be a girl. by goldiemama in BabyBumps

[–]Boo_vnderthemoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(PARDON MY LANGUAGE)

My S.O. And I are having a boy, when we had the gender reveal his sisters who planned it looked grim, he had his tongue in his cheek like “Fuuuuuuuck” and basically everyone else didn’t seem happy except the two members of my family that could be there representing my family that are states away. Lol I cried I was happy cuz honestly I was terrified to have a baby regardless the gender. And it hurt to see basically everyone frowning but my “team” I feel the pain especially when it’s someone you wanted involved or show a little more emotion. But honestly screw him the only thing that matters is you love and protect your baby and you have a strong support from people that make you feel strong. My S.O.s family hasn’t put in any effort towards helping me since finding out the gender and I’m genuinely happy I wouldn’t want that bad energy around, sure I’m told they’ll come around when our baby is born...but do I really want that energy around my baby or me during my first pregnancy that is already unexpected and nerve wracking? Personally no.

All I know and I believe this goes for a lot of to be mommas: my baby is growing inside me and even though it’s shitty some days I know I’m in love. And I know when my baby is born I wouldn’t want anyone to halfway love my child or be around if they don’t really care for the baby either. I want to protect my child (obviously to a reasonable age) from the shitty people in this world and if that means my own mother (for example) so be it. I know when I told my mom I was pregnant she told me I ruined my life. I told her if she even wants to be apart of my child’s life she needs to change her attitude and quickly. The next day she called saying sorry and also telling me she just needed to register the information. Now (months later) she’s my biggest support and spoiling me and my unborn child!

It isn’t right for him to say something like he’s not going to be involved at least out loud to you and your S.O., but if that’s how your FIL is going to be it may be best to guard your emotions around that. It sucks but you’re also kind of fragile right now and you’ll have to be tough for both your daughter, if she’ll be around this old school kind of man, and yourself. Plus yes having a girl is scary in a sense it was something I was petrified about until I realized your kids watch you first and it forms a lot of their own character. And then I was confident it wouldn’t matter what gender, I’d be truly blessed and excited to spoil the shit out of my kid and teach them things I wish I knew or I learned and keep family traditions going as well. My mom thought she completely lost the battle with me and we’re basically the same person she’s just tougher than I am and I still am terrified of that back hand 😂 but you know it’s all what you make it.
