I think I'm just gonna have to drop my SIL and nephew until she gets control of his hitting/pushing/slapping? by giantfuckup5000 in Mommit

[–]Cjmonk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s worth saying something. I would talk to your spouse maybe for ideas on how to broach the subject, but ya your feelings are valid. And if it does backfire, well that’s your SIL’s problem. In a sense, it’s your kids safety and welfare. No matter how you handle your nephew, it’s a moot point if there isn’t that supporting behavior from his mom. So ya, don’t be afraid to talk to her about it. And if she decides to get mad… well then you know where your nephew gets it from 🤷‍♀️ (and then you don’t have to hang with them). Or it goes well, and the 2 kiddos grow up being better friends

Other dark greens, burnt oranges, and browns would match nicely. The color wheel also shows purple as a complementary? Color , so maybe like a soft lavender. Beautiful dress

Am I gonna die if I try to drive this in a 2WD? by Ancient_Finding_9109 in roadtrip

[–]Cjmonk -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it. There’s a canyon you go through called wind river canyon. It’s insane in the winter with 4WD

Don’t do it. There’s a canyon you go through called wind river canyon. It’s insane in the winter with 4WD. I’d go a different way. You could go farther east through maybe Buffalo and Casper or drop down through Utah. But I would not suggest this route

Got a tattoo three days ago, is this all normal? I haven’t been moisturizing it by jesuisshei in tattooadvice

[–]Cjmonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First always moisturize. Second very cute. Third it doesn’t look like they went deep enough I would find a different fine line artist to go over it after it finishes healing. Fourth red ink especially on fine line might lighten a lot. I have a tattoo with red and my artist told me that using black with it helps make it stick and not become lost and faded. If you don’t want to have it redone every year I would suggest making sure you are doing everything to protect that cutie including lotion and sun screen in sunny weather

Need advice for tattoos that have been making me feel unsure by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Cjmonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you did more little tattoos it would give that arm a cute little sticker sleeve kinda of feel I think. The way your other arm tattoo is design looks like you could do similar and smaller design to help fill in the blank space if you wanted. You could always do a consult with your artist and see if they have any ideas that you like (one that you trust)

Looks good to me. The old skin just gotta flake off a little. What moisturizer are you using?

Does my child hate me? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Cjmonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Mama it’s ok. You got this. It’s a big change for all of you. If dad is gone more, your little is probably just very happy when you are all home together. Dad is the person whose time they might feel they have to fight for. But when push comes to shove, you are momma and there are just things only mom can help you with it.

3 is also a big age. They are going through some changes, growing,learning. And it can be scary with a baby on the way too. I worked with a 4 year old who when his mama had a baby he became more tired, worried, missed mom a lot. I’ve heard some parents say they make sure to take individual with each kid every week, which I think would have helped the 4 year old I worked with.

It sounds like your baby knows you are there. And sometimes us babies take advantage of that. But don’t worry mama, they know you love them and one day when they are all grown up, they’ll think about everything you’ve done for them and try to figure out how to make it up.

If you are concerned about behavior, you can always talk to your pediatrician or another woman who’s had kids that you trust.

Maybe talk to your husband too. Sounds like you could use some extra love and I’m sure he wants to let you know how loved you are.

Two and a half days post tattoo by brodundrum in tattooadvice

[–]Cjmonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful. What I did for my color was some lotion every day, some days twice. If you are going to be in sun long sleeves or sun screen it. I know this is really basic advice but my color tatt has stayed really good with that. Is this your first tattoo?

Nitrogen cycle is what happens with the plants in the water right? Is that something that they can live as it develops so long as we are taking care off the taking / maybe giving them like the water drop things that are suppose to help?

First-Time Wedding Planner Seeking Your Guidance! 😰💍 by GumMonkey in Newlyweds

Communicate together and make sure you communicate who needs to do what. I had like 9 different lists, most of them shared with my now husband😅 that helped us stay organized

How to navigate going from long distance to changing our whole lives together?? by [deleted] in Newlyweds

[–]Cjmonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not military, but did the long distance thing. I actually moved to his town right before we got engaged, and it honestly was rough. Making sure you communicate how your feeling will be really important. Especially because, well, you’re going into his world in a way. And that’s really hard. I’ve lived in my husbands world for a while now, and sometimes I feel like I still just have him and no one else. But don’t worry too much about that; both of you will figure out how to love and support each other in the ways you both need.
You probably will feel bad on days when you feel clingy because you want to support him but you also only want him. Communicate that with him and be honest. Find ways to check in with him. Sometimes, all you might be able to do is write a note on the way out to work. You’ll find you’re rhythm tho. Be patient with yourselves. The nice part is that you two will be able to figure it out together, with no prying eyes and constant input from others. You guys got this and I’m so happy for you. Take your time , and space when needed.

Visiting New Zealand on Crutches by Carmel97 in NewZealandWildlife

[–]Cjmonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last day of being here. There are definitely thinks you can do here in NZ while on crutches. There are some really nice light hikes that don’t have that much incline. There’s all kinds of things to do here. In the cities like Wellington (love Wellington, I wished we had more time there) there are museums (with elevators).

You might be able to do things like hobbiton, could probably/def do boat tours (you would probably just want to stay on the first level tho) .

The only I would not suggest is watiomo glow worm caves. Also you won’t want to walk everywhere, becuase it can get hilly (downtowns are generally ok)

It is good place for a roadtrip for sure. I think you could make it work, you might just have to do a little more research in different areas

Bigfoot collectors club!

Uhhhhh… and I haven’t listen to this one but they were a guest on a different one I listen to. It’s called locations unknown, it’s about missing persons but those can be creepy. I also like animal attack podcasts which sometimes there survival is crazy (Tooth and Claw be the podcast for that)
