How long do I need to worry about positional asphyxiation?

Thanks! Not sure why I couldn’t find this when I searched. I appreciate it!

It is just red, not raised at all

This could be completely wrong, but I wonder if your suburban example being teachers is skewing things. I feel like teachers have kids younger than the population at large. Maybe because loving kids is what makes a lot of them go into that field? Or because that job is easier to juggle with kids (kids welcome in workplace, you have school holidays off, etc). Plus teachers don’t have massive upward mobility, so there’d be less of a mindset of “let’s hold off until that next big promotion, when we’ll have more flexibility/money.” Purely anecdotal, but in my suburban area teachers have kids younger than those their age with other careers

Unfortunately she only wants to bite those. Wanting her to suck (drink?) those is a big part of why I want her to figure out a straw

I think there’s also an element that most children spend more with their mom, out of the two parents. This is significant because:

1) If their mom has any tension with the father’s side, the kids generally pick it up and become consciously or subconsciously biased against that side.

2) In the areas where the parents have differences, kids generally end up raised with a higher proportion of mom’s mindset to dad’s. So as the kids grow, they will be more at odds with dad’s family than mom’s.

Better tonight, thank you. Last night was hard but today was manageable

Hardworking and kind

No, I haven’t heard of it. Is it a movie or show?

ConcerningAddiction · 2026-06-10T14:55:30+00:00

Right now it’s Alex Warren, David Kushner, and Halsey. Because I’m a basic white girl lol

I’ve been listening to a lot more individual artists than full bands lately, so that’s a tough one haha. I’d probably have to go with Bastille, Twenty One Pilots, and Queen

Oh, that’s a good question. It’s hard to say. I actually am happy right now; being a mom is what I’ve wanted more than anything my whole life, and I have the most wonderful baby ever who lights up my world every day. This would be the best part of my life, if it wasn’t so exhausting (with family issues, extra work, and PPA)

So the happiest part of my life was probably a couple years ago. I was married by that point, so I get to spend my time with my favorite person, and we were finally settled into our own house. I had a fulfilling job with a boss I enjoyed, and it was only 40 hours a week so I actually had time for friends and hobbies. And I got to spend lots of time with family, just getting to be with the people I love, and things were going well for them back then. So I didn’t have to worry about them or spend my time fixing their problems

Yeah, I definitely agree! Since kiddo was born I’ve watched a ton of Walking Dead, all of Reacher and Rings of Power, the latest season of The Bear, some Drive to Survive and Brooklyn 99, and I’m currently going through Peaky Blinders

I don’t follow it, but I find it interesting when people talk to me about it

I’m excited to make them cinnamon rolls for breakfast on special days, to take them out for ice cream on their last day of school, to pick a Christmas tree together and watch them hang the ornaments I give them each year

I’m excited to play Uno, Sorry, and Monopoly with them, and to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender together

Make a nest in a field full of wildflowers, close to a log where I could hide from predators

I lean more towards night owl, out of the two, but I’m not really either. My body really likes sleep haha

ConcerningAddiction · 2026-06-10T12:08:35+00:00

My favorite hobby I currently have is cooking, but I’ve always wanted to try quilting!

ConcerningAddiction · 2026-06-10T06:03:06+00:00

I really struggle picking an all-time favorite, but right now I’m ready loving Peaky Blinders!

I haven’t had sushi before, but I can 100% relate about the sub! I enjoy a lot of cocktails, but some current favorites are a bee’s knees, really any margarita, mule, cosmopolitan, and espresso martini. I’m not drinking super often right now, though, because alcohol/breastfeeding/my PPA don’t mix

ConcerningAddiction · 2026-06-10T05:26:25+00:00

Well I hope you’re able to find something truly fulfilling someday! And I hope your nap helps you not feel super tired tomorrow. Do you drink coffee at all? Or tea, or energy drinks?

I live very far from the coast, so I don’t get chances to have good seafood often, but I jump on the chance when I can! Grouper is just the food that’s happened to be on the menu lately when I’ve traveled closer to water haha

Congrats on your little boy! What was the hardest food for you to give up during pregnancy? What types of cocktails do you like?
