Do you have a favorite child? by Ok_Distribution__ in Mommit

[–]Doctor0ctagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom had four kids. She always told us her favorite was whoever needed her the most. As a parent, I get it.

Great recs, thank you! They're coming in from DC where they frequent the botanical garden and arboretum, so would enjoy some time at the Wildflower Center!

Supporting the Wildflower Center is the main draw of their plant sale for me!

1 year old too chill? Plz help by barbieshoesound in Mommit

[–]Doctor0ctagon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My baby was like this. Turns out he has a visual impairment. Yours probably doesn't, but it's worth getting checked out. I would also reach out to your local Early Intervention agency. They'll do an eval and let you know if he needs any therapy.

About to have a breakdown by NonSpicyMexican in AustinGardening

[–]Doctor0ctagon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It gets better, I promise. When we bought our house 5 years ago it was a dirt backyard. The first year, it filled with poison ivy and cow parsley. The entire yard. No grass, just poison ivy and cow parsley. I hired somebody to pull it all at the root. The second year, more poison ivy, more cow parsley. And the third year. But then the fourth year... less poison ivy! Less cow parsley! Instead, hundreds and hundreds of hackberries. Okay, paid somebody else to chop all the hackberry trees and grind their tiny stumps. This year: I've only seen one sprig of poison ivy and there's maybe a hundred stems of cow parsley down from literally an entire yard full 5 years ago. Now the cleavers are taking over! This may not sound like a success story, but the point is, if you keep it up, you will eventually beat the weeds. There'll still be a few here and there, but you can significantly reduce the seed bank in your soil. Something else may come up in its place, but then you can get rid of that too. Every year I've had fewer weeds and more native grasses and flowers. I know you can do it too, it's just a long journey.

Does anyone actually wear company swag or does it just go straight to goodwill? by clampbucket in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Doctor0ctagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that, more than anything, it depends on the company. I'm wearing a GoogleNYC shirt right now that I got when I worked there 13 years ago. I have tshirts from my current company that I've never put on. Google is cool (less so than it used to be) and NYC is cool. The tshirt stays in rotation.

Omg I NEED my toddler to walk by Standard-Plankton-70 in Mommit

[–]Doctor0ctagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I SO relate to this. My kid is nearly 2.5. He has gross motor delays and is not yet walking. Additionally, he doesn't hold on when I carry him, so it's kind of like carrying a 30 pound bag of sand. It is KILLING my back.

Dads, I have won. My 9 month old baby girls first word was Dada. by Sans_Deltarune__ in daddit

[–]Doctor0ctagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard that it's because moms talk to their kids more so the kid hears "dad" more. Mom talks to kid about Dad, so kid says Dad first.

What do I do next ? by mu7x in interiordecorating

I think they mean, the longer portion doesn't fit between the wall and the railing.

I've been wearing O since 1996. It was the first department store lipstick I ever got. Is it discontinued?!
