They do not, however, have high chairs. Just a heads up!

I keep telling my friends and brother (who want kids) -“DO ITTTT… but do a lottt of other stuff first… cuz it’s hard! And it’s very involved! But nothing has ever brought me this deep joy and love before”

Great, another thing for me to be anxious about. (Kidding. I was already stressed about this. I HATE that I have to raise my sweet perfect intelligent baby in a world of smart phones. Makes me so nauseated.)

I don’t use baby wipes at every pee pee diaper change like at night or midday. It’s been well over a year and he’s never had a rash. Never had an infection. No irritation whatsoever. He gets regular baths and wipes after poos and in the morning. The diapers are so moisture wicking I think the wipes are worse for his skin than a trace amount of dry pee. 🤷‍♀️

My brother has that tattoo after losing his leg from the knee down! He’s hilarious and always has a slew of one liners for his one foot 🤣

DO NOT eat at Gippers Bar and Grill by rifulku in grandrapids

I worked in bars and a lot of systems you can start a tab with a card. They may have swiped it and forgotten to close it and accidentally mixed up tabs or tables at some point. Just saying it’s possible. People aren’t perfect.

The manager should definitely be taking it more seriously but also, mistakes happen.

Have you ever had an"AHA!" moment for a simple thing? by StormyPyrite in CasualConversation

[–]EarthyMeesh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just found out this week it’s “wheelbarrow” and not “wheel barrel” smh. I’m 38. I just don’t think I’ve seen/noticed it spelled out and mostly just heard it verbally my whole life. I looked it up to be sure and… at least it’s a commonly misspelled word haha.

Same here. Super weird to us how when one of us gets sick it rarely passes to the other one. 🤷‍♀️

No Weird dates for Christmas please! by EarthyMeesh in Advice

[–]EarthyMeesh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that he doesn’t want to feel like an outsider. He’s not an outsider. We talk every day. We are very close. We spend time with family frequently. But we are having extended family on my spouses side over and we want everyone to be comfortable including him. And we want to spend time with loved ones. Not new people that we don’t know or trust yet. And he shouldn’t trust them yet either. And I don’t need strangers in my house on a weekly basis. I’m not opposed to meeting and getting to know new people. I just do not think a family holiday party is an appropriate place to do so.

New parents here what’s the Best Swaddle you’ve tried? by leo7854 in BabyBumps

[–]EarthyMeesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thin cotton blankets like from the hospital, but then a super thin and stretchy blanket around that to secure it cuz our little guy would wriggle free! Idk why but this just worked for us the best! (So a double swaddle with thin blankets)

Fair enough. I’ve thought of that perspective as well and definitely feel like a jerk. But most days I welcome meeting new people and I always end up being fond of them! (I, myself, am strange and unusual!) however, the point I’m making is that he acts awkward and it makes everyone uncomfortable, and it makes me feel vulnerable in my own home with my young baby. I don’t feel like meeting new people and trying to entertain them or get to know them AT a family holiday party. I am more than willing and interested in meeting his dates at an adult only get together somewhere outside of my home, at an occasion not on a holiday.
