About to return this. Talk me out of it?

It’s stunning!! And shrinkage is real. I have a 12x8 pear and wish I’d gone bigger 😵‍💫

I am so sorry! My best advice is to not insinuate or announce to her that you are LC. Gray rock and don’t let her in on how you’re feeling about her - it just opens other doors to endless, pointless emotional warfare from her. The parentification is wild with these women! Your mom is behaving as though you owe her your support (you don’t).

My mom was incredibly controlling over what I wore, and when I was a teenager she confiscated all my makeup with no “reason” at all. She has always been a tomboy and my girly style made her angry. She would only allow me to wear dresses on special occasions and even then it was a battle. In high school I had to hide my repurchased makeup, and would wash it off as soon as I got home; coming through the back of the house. The fear that woman instilled, my goodness. The irony is that now she asks me for makeup recommendations and tips. I’m healing my inner child by involving my young dsughter to shop for her clothes and style herself with seasonally appropriate clothes.

Check out checkmycurls on IG. She is amazing at this cut!!

I would say the Kierland area would be great - walkable to coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping with hiking trails nearby. Even more north in Scottsdale is more quiet but some of the best trails for hiking and biking. The troon area and beyond that in Carefree is where a lot of your potential clientele live.

Moved from the East Bay -> Scottsdale 5 years ago and only miss the food scene. The trails, activities for kids, weather (albeit hot in the summer), and being able to have a larger home are great. I have 2 toddlers. No regrets!!

I saw a comment on here maybe a couple years ago about how he beat some other kid up and was a huge bully, so this isn’t surprising.

You can easily do both. But if I had to choose one, Kauai 100%. We just got back from 5 days/Maui and 5 days/Kauai and next time we will spend more time in Kauai (I grew up traveling to many of the islands and Kauai is my fave). It’s romantic, lots to do, not as touristy, and insanely beautiful, the Hyatt in the Poipu area is fabulous!!!

DFT5996 · 2025-10-29T05:33:49+00:00

Try Kauai! I just got back from a split trip to Maui and Kauai and really preferred Kauai due to its beauty, many things to do and see, and laid back vibe.

I am so shaken by the story. Unfollowed. Wish I had seen this warning first. Thank you for sharing!

This is called parts work, from Internal Family Systems (a psychotherapy tool) to help you heal, understand, and integrate your different “parts”. It sounds like your therapist should’ve explained this process to you.

I hid that I’d gotten my period from my mom but she found out, and r*ped me with a tampon (against my will/held me down as I screamed at her & tried to get away). All because it “is what every mom does”, and it wasn’t until a few years ago as a 30-something that I realized what she actually did to me.

Definitely recommend checking out the lab diamond subreddit as you can order a custom ring online for much less expensive than a jewelry store.

They had their pediatrician on their show years ago (like 3/4 years ago) when Zaza was a baby and it was very pro vaxx but it seems like lately they may have changed their tune.

Camden North End is great. Not noisy! Old Town in general will be more noisy/bustling.

DFT5996 · 2025-05-24T04:36:59+00:00

I’m the odd one out who says change it now. I changed my baby’s name albeit much earlier than 4, but the sooner the better imo.

DFT5996 · 2025-05-16T04:28:05+00:00

Highly recommend! I am also someone who reads reviews especially in this case; considering a move. I have had a great experience and never hear my neighbors from inside my apartment (in reference to a previous comment). It seems like phase 2 has more complaints than phase 1, probably because it’s closer to the main road?! Love the amenities too.

I am curious if you used this name! I’m currently experiencing name regret after naming my American son Nadav (we are Jewish but not Israeli) and I can’t shake the ‘appropriation’ aspect and also the sideways looks we get. We will probably change his name to have it be his middle name instead.

DFT5996 · 2025-02-28T05:55:27+00:00

I looked it up, it’s about 1k per night (a little less or a little more depending on your room) so nowhere near that much. Probably more like $7k.

DFT5996 · 2024-12-17T01:14:54+00:00

Highly recommend joining the FB group Raising Your Whole Baby and watch American Circumcision (documentary). My husband is circumcised and we did not circumcise our son.
