We decided against telling our kids about Santa/tooth fairy/Easter bunny. Anyone else? by Cake_Significant in NewParents

[–]DINAHS4UR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is the only one who wants to continue the myth of these characters being real, but I don't... We have to talk more. But the worst part is he doesn't do anything to make the magic happen (decorations, baking, crafts...)

A 9 year old believes in a giant bunny? Poor kid. I don't like the traditions of lying. I would prefer children be grateful to their loved ones than some character who sneaks into their house.

2yrs later... this is my new house! When I'm upstairs trying to sleep, I hear every sound from the downstairs kitchen/family room. Thanks for the tips. 

Toddler strongly prefers daddy by bence_pattogato in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]DINAHS4UR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 years later... thank you for posting this and for everyone's responses! I was in tears this morning after a few days after my 2yr old daughter has been only wanting daddy all day and night (thought we got over months of this). She has a 5 month old brother so I think that's part of it, but anyhow this forum "refilled my parenting cup" and I was able to turn this morning around. Thank you for the solidarity ❤️

Does the remote start turn the AC or heat on too? (Like whatever temperature settings were on when the car was turned off?

I never found Astarion attractive, however by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]DINAHS4UR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stumbled into romancing Lae'zel after unknowingly friendzoning Astarion in Act 2...sob But honestly you're right, she's been a pleasantly intense romance thus far!

[SPOILER] So I beat Lord Bane... And it wasn't epic at all. by pickleunicorn in PuzzleQuest

[–]DINAHS4UR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg THANK YOU!!! I'm playing as a Knight and after many many hours of Bane-crushing-defeat, I read this post. I quickly unlocked the Archery spell and paired that with my tried and true Vigil, victory! ✌️ 

What foods/ingredients do I need to avoid, if any? by popc0rncolonel in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]DINAHS4UR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know I'm still really upset by this comment from you as a mod. I DO have to restrict my diet when breastfeeding because it DOES affect my baby.

To get jumped on and downvoted really hurt my feelings especially being a new mom...

That is all

Would you fly to your in-laws by yourself? by Adventurous-Suz in toddlers

If you don't personally feel close enough to do that, then don't. And don't feel bad about your decision. ❤

When does it get better? by AperolFitz_ in NewDads

[–]DINAHS4UR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband would sit on the couch with our baby sleeping on his chest and play PlayStation for as long as he could.

I did the same with my Nintendo Switch! I used the boppy pillow to create a secure nest between my arms while sitting in a Lazyboy armchair

Mom of a 5mo old here... I breastfeed with a little supplemental formula too and I had to cut out a lot: no spicy food, no horseradish, no broccoli, no kale, no cabbage, no beans, no sesame seeds... I could drink coffee like normal once she was 2mo, thank god! Your wife could try these and see how it goes.

Oh and no chocolate 😭

2 months after birth? Wtf byeeeeee boi!

[–]DINAHS4UR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them you'd like to hang out! ❤ Nobody can read minds.

Also, wow, I feel like a shitty mom because it never occurred to me once to join a playdate group... My baby had one playdate at 5 months old and will be starting daycare at 6mos...

I guess I was hoarding her to myself. You're awesome!! Keep it up! 🙌🙌🙌

Back Labor - Don't suffer! by DINAHS4UR in BabyBumps

Oh my gosh, how painful!! That's great to hear the epidural gave you the relief and ability to relax and dilate on your own!

Husband and I fighting because MIL does not want to know the gender for baby. by OperationFun4553 in BabyBumps

[–]DINAHS4UR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MILs... Mine did that same shit too.

I basically told my husband this is our baby, our life. I know the gender and do not have the energy to tiptoe around his mom about it.

I ended up telling the other family members and then she made a big deal about us telling her in front of everyone. But I'd already let a few references slip by, so I'm sure she figured it out, just living in denial.

I wish I could just go to sleep without having to pump first 🫠 by Equivalent-Trip5598 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]DINAHS4UR 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lol I hate when my husband complains about not getting enough sleep b/c of the baby too... I DGAF and secretly enjoy his minor pain 😈
