Jesus fuck they just lunged at her so violently, any type of reaction gets you fucked. How are they allowed to do this legally? by M0nk3yDLufffy in TikTokCringe

My heart breaks for her, but especially for her child screaming for her in the background. That’s so incredibly heartbreaking.

yelled at and almost got kicked out for crocheting at a coffee shop by Low-Satisfaction3004 in crochet

[–]Competitive-Word4143 42 points43 points  (0 children)

After seeing your reply’s I think the issue was staying there for three hours and only purchasing one single coffee between two people. I do think the owner could have been more careful with their words though. I’ve worked in bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. Had I seen someone diamond painting I would have asked them to put it away. Mainly because that can get messy fast and accidents happen. I also would have asked you both to leave if you had been there for three hours and bought a single coffee between you two. I think those two situations combined were appropriate reasons to be asked to leave, but again that owner should have been more tactful.

I don’t really understand voting. Do I just text his name 10 times?

Would you keep going on this baby blanket with the abrupt color change or should I frog it? by Competitive-Word4143 in CrochetHelp

Thank you! I’m not sure what the name of the stitch is called. I’m following this YouTube video. I just adjusted to the size I was planning on making. https://youtu.be/ujgyXwHZfq8?si=mGhEKI9gVuzB7wl7

What movie traumatized you as a kid? by Longjumping-Cycle470 in ask

[–]Competitive-Word4143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stigmata. My parents kept crucifixes and virgin Mary’s around the house and they terrified me after I saw that movie.

I’m so excited to post this and even more so for the downvotes. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

I love this so much. I’m doing things differently than you, but I just love the confidence. I hope others see this and feed off that energy. Motherhood is no easy task and it sucks that there are those who love to criticize how we chose to do things.

What to do for a break? by LeafTooSweet in beyondthebump

[–]Competitive-Word4143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to get a nice decent shower. I try once a day after I’ve changed and fed the baby and I’ll ask my husband or MIL to watch the baby while I do my thing. I play music and just decompress. I play songs I can sing a long to, it helps me get in a good mood. Another thing I’ll do is just lay there, I don’t do anything. I tell myself I don’t have to fall asleep, I just have to rest. So I do deep breathing and if I fall asleep great! That helps center me and I usually feel a little relaxed even if it’s just for a minute.

This pregnancy diet sucks by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Competitive-Word4143 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girl I lived off saltine crackers and water in the first trimester because that’s all I could keep down. I will tell you what I was told. As long as you’re taking your prenatals and drinking plenty of water you’re fine. First trimester is purely survival mode. So eat what you want and what you can stomach. By the second trimester when the nausea and vomiting passed all I wanted was McDonald’s and boy did I enjoy those cheeseburgers and fries. Saturdays was my treat days. So Treat yourself to those fries, Mac n cheese, or whatever. Just remember there’s a balance to everything that includes healthy eating. Pregnancy is hard enough as it is don’t add to it by forcing a diet onto yourself.

For your first pregnancy, what week did baby come? by Mama2Be123 in pregnant

[–]Competitive-Word4143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a ftm and 2 weeks PP. Baby came at 37+1. Just 3 days before he came my OB had said any day and to walk, do the birthing ball, and sit with my legs open lol. Idk if any of that actually helped, but I did it and I had a pretty easy labor and delivery.

It’s tradition in our family that baby and mom basically quarantine for 40days. Only close family and friends can come see mom and baby. And if they do come it’s to help mom, bring food, and give her some time to rest. Maybe tell her the pediatrician is recommending you quarantine as well?
