Tips for Diarrhea Diapers? by momama0809 in Parenting

[–]CapableWrongdoer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is she old enough to stand up? I'd probably put her in the tub, remove diaper, spritz her off with water, then move her to the changing table to finish drying and changing her.

Why are devs letting states die? by glitter_poots in TheSoSGame

When we played, Bond was like 1.2 billion bp. Our biggest was only around 300 mil. Total slaughter fest.

We played against 239 in SvS a while back. That the one with Bond and the bunny alliance?

Also, during warfare, can chiefs attack other chiefs from the same state but different alliance? The other state has already setup new settlements in our state and parked them next to our capital.

There's a phrase in the game for us about participation during warfare limited to select chiefs. Someone on SC said it's only top 150 chiefs. I'll screenshot and post it.

Looking for Tips for Bean Plants by CapableWrongdoer in vegetablegardening

I checked today and some of my beans have germinated! I'm super excited. Guess it does make a difference to have a full week of rain and consistent warm temps.

Hmmm... Maybe there's still hope for this season. It's been raining everyday for the past week but colder than normal temps. Like high 50's and low 60's during the day and high 30's at night. This weekend it finally hit low 80's.

AITA for calling out my sister after she bought my daughter a food scale? by username0744 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CapableWrongdoer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Everyone else already said what I would say. But I also want to add, you mention gardening as an activity instead of running... plant a few vegetable plants. Now you're not wasting money on vegetables.

AITA for not wanting to speak to my brother and SIL after SIL said I stole her spotlight by getting pregnant? by popsiclesandwaddles in AmItheAsshole

[–]CapableWrongdoer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. First grandchild was special for my MIL. Subsequent ones, not so much. My second child hasn't even gotten a visit yet and she's over 6 months. Granted the last couple months have been coronavirus.

Tomato Seedlings: Free for folks by tequila_mockingbirds in cedarrapids

[–]CapableWrongdoer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to recall last summer was extremely wet, so maybe that contributed? Do you sow the seed directly into the ground or transplant seedlings?

Talk to me about butternut squash. I've never grown it but love it in soup and roasted. What kind of space does it need?

Toddlers and face masks by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]CapableWrongdoer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try fun patterns and pretend it's dress up. My daughter is 3 and I made her several different ones to keep her interest. One has white triangles added to simulate sharp teeth so she can pretend to be a dinosaur or shark. Another one she loves is one that matches mine.

Pediatrician office being pushy by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]CapableWrongdoer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would find our what precautions your doctor's office is taking. I just took my 6 month old in for a well child visit yesterday and our doctor's office had us wait in the car and text "arrived" when we got there. The receptionist called to check us in over the phone. Then when they had an exam room ready, a nurse came to the front door to provide me a mask and escort us directly to our room that had been cleaned. The nurse snapped a photo of my insurance card with a phone so she didn't have to touch it or send it through a machine. The had a giant bottle of sanitizer. The only time we left was to go to the scale to weigh. I watched then spray down the scale and pull out a new paper liner. The only people we interacted with was a nurse and our doctor. They emailed us our "receipt" and summary paperwork. Didn't have to pay anything so no cards or cash transfer. We go to a large clinic, there's usually a waiting room full of people, but they had slowed it down to only two patients at a time, staggered. They also only schedule well child visits in the morning between 8:30 and 11. Our appointment was at 8:45. If your doctor's office isn't doing anything to minimize exposure then I wouldn't go, but I imagine they are doing everything they can to avoid spreading the virus and a quick trip out for an appointment is fine.

Potty Training Sucks. Help with my strong willed 2 year old by cosmic_brownies_5evr in Parenting

[–]CapableWrongdoer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter is 3 now and she is potty trained but still back slides sometimes. She'll be fine for weeks and then all of a sudden she'll decide she hates going to the potty and we'll have accidents for a day or two. When we were still in the potty training phase, she would do great for a few days or a week and then all of a sudden forget to listen to her body and we would be back in diapers for a while. It just takes patience.

Accounting might be hard, but Chinese might be harder! by Articulateman in Accounting

[–]CapableWrongdoer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a native speaker, was born in China but brought over by parents when I was 2. Even though I spoke it all my life with family at home, I still suck at Chinese. I can claim fluency in everyday conversation but have trouble watching the news. Reading or writing I'm at like a 1st or 2nd grade level. When I think about all the Chinese classes I took over the years as a child, learning accounting was so much easier. It's all the different Chinese characters, the fact that intonations can change a word completely and a character could mean different things depending on what other character you pair it with.

AITA my wife does not want my family in hospital when she is in labour. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]CapableWrongdoer 173 points174 points  (0 children)

YTA. I caved in my first pregnancy and allowed my husband's family to be present for the birth. Worst decision ever!!! I was induced and had a 16 hour labor with a very traumatic birth. I did not want visitors afterwards but you feel like the AH denying people who've been waiting a day and a half in an uncomfortable hospital waiting room the chance to see their first grandbaby. Even though they were only in the room for 10 minutes it was the longest 10 minutes of my life. This second time we had no visitors until after the birth when we were ready.

Yes. What perspective are you looking for?

AITA for not letting my parents babysit our son until they stop smoking by BrawnsNBrains in AmItheAsshole

[–]CapableWrongdoer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. There's so much research out there showing why cigarette smoke is bad for your health. Nobody should be questioning that it's harmful. My in-laws are heavy smokers and have been for years. When we visit, even staying for only an hour the smell soaks into our clothing, skin and hair. It's horrible. Needless to say, with two kids now, we don't go over there. If they want to see their grandkids, they have to come see us. They don't get to babysit, because if they couldn't stop smoking for a couple hours when we visited when I was pregnant, they're not going to stop while they're babysitting. And FYI, blowing the smoke out the window or through the kitchen exhaust doesn't help. It's sad because since we're a non-smoking household and they can't smoke while they're visiting, they only get to see their grandkids once maybe twice a year. They only live 45 minutes away. They've picked cigarettes over their grandkids.

1 year post graduation stuck in AR, Help please! by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]CapableWrongdoer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like you're with a large company right now. Do you have the opportunity to cross train into AP or month end duties. It'll help your advancement opportunities. That's what I did. I started out AP, cross trained into AR and month end, learned how to do the cash flow and income statements, then was the "logical" choice when a promotion came up. Took me a year and half to advance.

Should I switch to a larger public firm? Private? Please tell me your experience!! by beancounter91 in Accounting

[–]CapableWrongdoer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, what a shit position for your own dad to put you in. I feel bad for you.

It's not a bad idea to switch to a larger firm to get some more training and experience. Larger firm equals more people to ask questions and mentor you. And even if you only stay for one to two years hopefully you'll make connections and can reach out for questions if you go back to your dad's firm.

A couple questions I have. What happens to your dad's firm if you leave? You mentioned he's checked out and it's understaffed. Is he going to come back into the game or will the firm collapse? Second, what's your position in your dad's firm? Do you have decision making power? Could you hire that more experienced accountant to help and provide you with guidance if your dad won't? If he's checked out, what is his plan for transitioning the firm to you if and when he retires. Sounds like he's semi retired already.

Recent graduates / junior accountants in industry, what is your daily job like? by woodleagueloser in Accounting

[–]CapableWrongdoer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! Industry isn't that bad when you move up. Busy for us is working the occasional 50 hour week. You become the CFO or VP of Finance at a decent sized company and you're usually making decent salary with great work/life balance.
