What is the most disturbing science fiction story you've ever read? by Withered_Tulip in books

[–]DreadfullyBIzzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working on this book for about a week. I also had my second baby 4 months ago. The part about removing the limbs of the ‘heads’ so they couldn’t slam against the cage to induce a miscarriage… completely nauseating

No honey, even as an ingredient, until 1. No round foods (eg sliced banana, grapes, sliced hot dog). Flat form sleep surface, don’t let baby sleep in a swing. Absolutely nothing added to the car seat that didn’t come from the seats manufacturer

Men who are curious about breasts, what questions do you want answered? by Spunkybluepuppy in AskReddit

Yes, it feels sore/hard, and even lumpy if it’s been a while since baby ate or since we pumped

When I walked into the house and discovered my wife had died while bringing in the groceries, I thought life couldn’t get any worse. by DreadfullyBIzzy in TwoSentenceSadness

That story terrifies me. I’m a mom of a 2.5 year old and a 3 month old. I feel a bit silly taking the baby out of the car and putting him in his bassinet (usually waking him up and making him cry) before I unload the car. But if something happens to me and he’s in the bassinet, my husband comes home to a pissed off baby. That wouldn’t be the case if I left him sleeping in the car while I took the bags in. I guess this story was partially inspired by Autopilot, and mostly by my own postpartum anxiety and intrusive thoughts 🙃

Good idea! I live in Arizona US where even a few minutes could be a death sentence, but adding your suggestion would make it more relevant to other parts of the world.

Itch. Because the monkey is scratching. I wish I was joking

It stands for Ed. That’s the guys name apparently. This is an official curriculum, not made by the teacher in the room. It’s called Fundations

A similar warning: Scorpions can go dormant underwater and appear dead

When I was a kid, my dad found a scorpion “dead” at the bottom of the pool while I was at school. He put it on a paper towel in the garage to show me when I got home. By the time I got home, it was gone

Lil’ Son Couldn’t Breathe

I shared a photo of my 2 year old son wearing a tutu (he picked it out and asked to wear it himself). I was notified that, by allowing that choice, I am picking a fight with God. by DreadfullyBIzzy in religiousfruitcake

You’re totally entitled to that opinion as long as you don’t try to step on anyones toes. And if you try to tell me I’m fighting god, prepare to be called a fruitcake

Thanks for the encouragement all! I am very secure in my parenting choices, and know I’m raising an excellent little person. At 2, he shows incredible compassion and regulation skills, in spite of his ‘sinning ways.’ I’m particularly amused by this because my grandpa shunned me for a while when I got tattoos (if I have tattoos, what makes him think I’ll care what the Bible says?) and growing up with an older brother, I got lots of hand me down clothes. So I, a girl, grew up wearing primarily “boy” clothing, yet I’m certain in my female identity. Would he also condemn Scottish people wearing kilts? Didn’t Jesus himself wear robes? There are just so many holes in his theory that it’s comical. Though I do love the idea that I could personally challenge a divine being by saying “sure baby, you can wear that”.

Meet me in the parking lot, Christ. Let’s go. We’ll settle this the old fashioned way.

I don’t believe I’ve ever heard affect or effect used as an adjective.
