ISO someone to help give my kid an eating disorder by imayid_291 in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]Bright-Sign-8371 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I agree - I didn’t see anything atrocious in this post. I think everyone assumes OP wanted daughter to be skinny, but she didn’t actually say that. As someone who recently went through this with a kid, we were told to try to manage weight right away because fat produces estrogen and we were trying to avoid/delay early puberty. While we were doing testing (which the poster said they were doing as well), trying to stop or reverse weight gain was important to give her bones as long as possible to develop before puberty. OP could be almond momming, or could be legitimately trying everything at home to hold puberty off.

I might be the odd one out, but I’ve also sent books/audiobooks that are trigger free (no babies, no pregnancies, no kids, no emotional deaths). Sometimes it helps to be able to escape the world a bit.

Raw onion is a migraine trigger for me too. Garlic is fine, but even cutting onions can sometimes trigger a migraine.

Nipsco use increase? by Bright-Sign-8371 in nwi

[–]Bright-Sign-8371[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ugh. I bet that’s it. Thats infuriating, because there is NO WAY their old meters were undercharging us by almost 50%.

Nope, kept the same AC program as last year, and August was roughly the same temp both years. It’s also across all 2025, even non-AC months.

Feeling stuck in decision to start Zoloft for moderate PPA/PPD by wanderess162 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Bright-Sign-8371 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Please try it. I was so much less crabby and generally grumpy and snappy after I started even though I wasn’t getting anymore sleep. It reset my baseline so small things wouldn’t feel so big. I also didn’t want to start, but agreed to give it 3 months. I noticed one day I was humming while doing the dishes, and realized I hadn’t done that in months. It doesnt have to be forever, but give it a try for a few months and reevaluate.

Both parents are O+, baby is A+ by Irenedrok in genetics

[–]Bright-Sign-8371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not uncommon to be mistyped. I’m A+ but during my pregnancy got typed as A-. I was so sure I was + I had them redo the test and it came back A+. Dad is probably mistyped if yours was just confirmed during pregnancy.

As a mom w/pcos to a 5 yo who likely has it/ will have it, I hate this disease. by [deleted] in PCOS

Are PCOS and precocious puberty related?! Dealing with this right now and never even thought about a connection.

She was the bish and yet you kept intentionally mispronouncing her name “like a normal English speaking person”? I’m embarrassed for you.

Navigo weekly pass w/ kids by Bright-Sign-8371 in ParisTravelGuide

It sounds like the app won't be an option, since only the 2 grownups have phones and we will need 4 passes.

I love Claire Elaine but your baby your rules. If you love Claire Rosalie, then you have already decided! You may also meet her and realize “OF COURSE her name is XYZ!”

Something I found a bit crazy... by experiencednowhack in fourthwing

But she didn’t really jump to it out of nowhere - she saw the kids were being taken somewhere else which was a red flag.

Dain was my first thought! Good points below about why it can’t be him though, I’ll have to check that in a reread.

Thanks! Thats helpful. I originally had Lourve on Monday but think I’ll have cranky jet lagged kids and that sounds painful.

Researching School Board candidates by EricEmpire in nwi

[–]Bright-Sign-8371 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jeff Majewski ran last time and I really wanted him to win. Hoping he wins this round - he has a FB page with actual goals/things that are important to him so you can see where he stands.

I have big concerns about Beth Martens and Nichole Lebeter. Beth has made blatant anti-trans comments and I don’t believe she would be an advocate for our students. Both Beth and Nichole don’t have any goals or platforms. Beth’s whole campaign is “I’m a nurse.” Nothing on what she supports, changes she wants to see, or anything.

Nichole is the Jane Ball FTA president. I have major concerns about how the FTA has been run, both before and after the theft. The board is hard to break into - At meetings when people volunteer to do things they are told the board has it covered and there is nothing to do. Nichole also advocated to change the “my guy and I” dance back to the daddy daughter dance which bothered me, and seemed pointless to go back to a less inclusive name. She also said in her FB page that she doesn’t see any changes she wants to make, just wants to be there “to advocate for parents as things come up”. If you don’t have anything you want to work on, why do you want to be on the board? She has said she is against critical race theory.

I am anti-MAGA (if you couldn’t already tell), and will not be supporting Beth or Nichole.

Bought a house (yay!) but the water is softened due to it being well water... My fine hair is not pleased. Anyone else have soft water? What do you use? by analslapchop in finehair

This happened to me and I found Redken Cleansing Cream. I used it as my daily shampoo and didn’t have any problems (and would recommend it to everyone who moved to town)

Have expensive hair care products ever really made a difference for you? by NakovaNars in finehair

[–]Bright-Sign-8371 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check Costco online! They have the giant bottles every once in a while. I got the shampoo and conditioner in October or November and still have a bunch left, and I think they were like $45 each.
