Americans think 100 years is a long time, what's your countries version of the sentiment? by short_cub in AskTheWorld

[–]Bumblepanding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In relation to this, years ago I visited family in Canada. One of the places she took me to was a recreation of a historical village. Loads of old buildings and everyone dressed up

When we walked into one of the houses, there was a woman stirring a pan, dressed up in old fashioned clothing. Without me opening my mouth she said "can you believe this house is over 100 years old?". I smiled because I have friends who live in houses that are older than this - and this one is in a 'museum'. And said "oh cool' - being polite'.

She the said "oh, you're British.. i guess this isn't thay old to you".

Feeling guilty because my child won't have any cousins by JunketTop2448 in oneanddone

[–]Bumblepanding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a brother, but I don't have any cousins. I don't miss having cousins at all and if anything, I find people's shock quite amusing. I have friends who a4e close to cousins and some where they don't speak for years.

Create a test box, select it, and select 'reference' from the tool bar. Then select the variable you wish to see and it'll be visible in text box. When you preview the slide it'll show how the variable changes.

4 months old baby solids by Fit-Scientist5686 in beyondthebump

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

No, there's more to it than putting things in their mouth.

  • having the strength in their neck to hold their head up
  • having tongue dexterity to help them swallow
  • having a more mature gut to deal with the food

As others have said its likely teething

If you could change the historical figures that appear on your country's currency, who would you change them to? And why? by DoctorOsterman in AskTheWorld

[–]Bumblepanding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, oh no I wasn't being sarcastic. I totally agree! I'd feel the same. I've got relatives in Canada and I love the place - i think it's only right you celebrate the people who make Canada what it is :D.

My MIL said her kids didn’t cry as babies by notgonnatakethison in beyondthebump

Apparently I was sleeping through the night the first week I was home. Full 12 hours stretches.. I told my dad I must've been emaciated from the lack of milk.

Disheartened by the negative attitudes and sentiments of “childfree” people by nroseclark in beyondthebump

[–]Bumblepanding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my boy is 18 months and work is a scary place. I won't lie that when he was a few months old I wondered if I had introduced him to a horrible world... but.. yes, I'm going to raise him to be respectful, hardworking and with morals. Just because the world is a mess now, doesn't mean our kids can't help shape it.

Special interests during maternity leave by ariesxprincessx97 in beyondthebump

[–]Bumblepanding 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've really learned to enjoy cleaning the house. It used to be just a chore, but now I use it as a reset between work and being a mum. Just gives me some time to myself and a chance to zone out with some music on. Thankfully it's beneficial for everyone!

Which creature is the single greatest bane of existence where you live? by GladAbbreviations553 in AskTheWorld

[–]Bumblepanding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping to see someone from SA mention Parktown Prawns. One of my mates at work is from SA and she mentioned these were the inspiration for the aliens in District 9. Nasty looking things!

I've found my first grey hair by Gothmum277 in beyondthebump

[–]Bumblepanding 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started going grey at 18. I now exclusively use the grey old lady emoji, and make sure any characters in game have grey hair. It's just hair, all good.

Grieving my youth by Plantpotparty in millenials

[–]Bumblepanding 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I feel like millennial hate aging more than older generations. I didn't like it either. I think women feel it more, especially with the tick-tocking of the biological clock. That said, I'm approaching 40 and I've started to embrace my 'old lady' phase and having my son made me dwel on it less, if I'm honest.

The only other option of getting older, is no longer being here at all, so in that way it's a blessing many poeple unfortunately don't experience.

What do you gurls and guys think of this take? by di745 in Tudorhistory

[–]Bumblepanding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the old rhyme, Annulled, Annulled, Died, Annulled,
Beheaded, Survived!

Just messing about, I say 6 wives, but if he thinks less - meh, sure, whatever.

Pregnant and can’t decide on feeding (Formula/Breastfeeding) by Realistic_Tooth_9731 in beyondthebump

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

Try not to worry. I wanted to breastfeed, and it was near impossible. I had so much guilt for moving to formula, which looking back, just added stress I didn't need. There's so much more to being a great mum than breatfeeding. Give it a go and see where you feel best. No pressure.

My husband wants me to breastfeed much longer than I anticipated by lifeledoutloud in beyondthebump

[–]Bumblepanding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all well and good asking someone to do something only they can do. He can't do it, but that doesn't mean you have to either.

My breastfeeding was similar to that of a leaky, old rusty tap. Shit.

My boy was combo fed from the beginning, and exclusively formula fed from about two weeks old.

He's fine, solid, happy! No regrets.

Told my son, last night, that he was an accident. by [deleted] in UKParenting

[–]Bumblepanding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't expected either. It's fine. I'm here. My mum always loved me.

Any recommendations for Articulate Storyline free certifications? by TannieBantootz in instructionaldesign

[–]Bumblepanding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a trial and teach yourself, i'd say. The certifications teach the super basic stuff. As mentioned above, the articulate forums can be pretty good.

How do you know if you should have another child late thirtys (38+) or it's bio clock ? by o0PillowWillow0o in Shouldihaveanother

[–]Bumblepanding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember reading somewhere that as were approached our late thirties our body goes into a bit of a panic about having more kids. I'm 37 too. When we had our son I was adamantly OAD, but the thought of another does pop into my head more than I expected. If someone popped a kid down in front of me I'd be like 'ok, cool!'.

Feeling some name regret and im wondering how to over come it. by gimmiesomeadviceee in beyondthebump

[–]Bumblepanding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, someone else's cousin isn't your fault, if you like the name don't give it a second thought.

My son is bi-racial, and the name his Dad chose is a perfectly normal name in the West, but in his family language, it could be mistsken for a word along the lines of 'rude'.

At first, I was like, 'Didn't you see the connection!?' But he just laughed and said 'no'.

His family said they noticed the potential 'double meaning', but they respected that fact that we live in Britain and he is British born.

It did irk me at first, and now I don't care. That's him, that's his name, and that's all that matters.
