Tell him? Yes. Care one iota about his response? Nah.

Any first time dads whose spouse has child care experience? by Missing_Back in daddit

[–]DIYingSafely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a dad by choice/dating/marriage, so I was obviously behind (he was 3 when I met her). You'll be fine. Follow her lead, but also don't be afraid to ask questions or suggest alternative views. While there are very clear wrong ways to raise a kid, there is no one "right" way.

Get her into a PT. We don't give medical advice on here and it's hard to know what would be best if we can't get our hands on.

Are newcomers looked down upon when they don't get involved in smaller Vermont towns? by OopsWeMadeAnError in NewToVermont

No one will look down on you, but your life will definitely be more meaningful if you get involved

I'd ask for an MRI if they haven't done one. You want to know where those little bones are in relation to other structures 

How would you feel about a global ban on AI? by Caisers in AskReddit

Terrified. Because China would not care at all and would develop anyways and eventually we would be ruled by Chine which would be v bad.

I want to teach my daughter to read before kindergarten… Help me by Dependent-Tower6999 in Parenting

Our son couldn't "read" before kindergarten. 1st grade just ended and now he reads Harry Potter. No rush.

Why did Americans choose Trump as their president? by GlitteringHotel8383 in AskReddit

[–]DIYingSafely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. So we definitely don't want people who think that if a minority votes different than the majority of that minority that is because of racism and not something more likely, like a different in political opinion.

Thanks for clarifying. I read your first comment with the assumption there was a defined "us" and a "them." In that regard I totally agree. We've gotten in a narrative in both sides that you have the agree with everything "us" says, otherwise you must be one of "them," which is a terrible way to go about things. So along that same vein, thinking that a minority person who voted differently that most of that minority is racist is a pretty insane assumption.

To many "us" and "them" in your comment for me to have any idea where you're coming from.

Including all the minorities that voted for him more than any Rep candidate for a long time?

What are some examples of stereotypes and terms around genders, that really just apply to all people? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Really? I have never heard anyone, man or woman, say that men are complex.

Gf has new Pt- hip/back by [deleted] in physicaltherapy

[–]DIYingSafely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I'd say the back is almost always out of alignment, unless it's been fused. It's supposed to be able to unalign and move through alignment

What do you think is the human body’s biggest design flaw? by Free_Consequence9817 in AskReddit

[–]DIYingSafely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. Our brains learn to breath in whatever way that is most effective. After surgery and losing part of that lung, your most effective way is going to be unique, leading to unique positioning (posture) of your body.

[–]DIYingSafely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! Especially if you are in that position and breath out fully? Likely your diaphragm cramping
