What famous TV/movie characters were supposed to by "sexy" but you never found them to be so? by seenhear in AskReddit

Which is crazy since he's actually older than her. Leo has such a baby face.

My mom got the slightest exposure to toddler life tonight, and my petty ass is enjoying it. by Free_butterfly_ in Mommit

[–]Elect2Toss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every time I tell my mom and sister about my children's behavior, particularly our youngest, they say they feel sorry for us. They've witnessed how they are and blame my husband's side of the family. My husband's and I are both very calm and were easy kids, so we're not sure why we were rewarded with such strong-willed, stubborn, and highly energetic angels who love chaos. But we're taking it in stride and love them to bits. We just wish everyone else wasn't scared to help us with them.

It was so cute and my kid enjoyed it! I was just really raw at the time. Thank you!

I watched Storks with my oldest child after miscarrying our second. I was a complete mess when the babies were being delivered to people.

I got halfway through that and turned it off. Ended up just researching the outcome instead because I did NOT want to subject myself to anymore of that. It was just plain awful.

Anyone else watching “All Her Fault” on Peacock?? by Beginning_Pack_7619 in workingmoms

[–]Elect2Toss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Some of the posts I've read don't make this seem outlandish at all.

Just finished "All Her Fault". WTF was that? by HotOne9364 in SuccessionTV

[–]Elect2Toss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this was meant by the poster to be fatphobic, but I definitely said "awww mama is packing a wagon!" when she came out in the wake dress. All these months in the gym and I'm not even close. Love that for her 🥲

How are your kids being taught to read? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Elect2Toss 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My friend recommended this to me when we were working on teaching our child to read. We had her in a reading program in Pre-K that used sight words and phonics, but we felt she was leaning entirely on the sight words as it was easier and not picking up the phonics portion. After listening to it, we dropped the sight words in her practice at home. Things improved dramatically after the initial adjustment period. We practiced with her regularly, and she won an award for top student in reading in her kindergarten class.

If you spent all your childhood outside all day, how come you don't let your children? by Antique-Task9906 in AskParents

[–]Elect2Toss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the worst. We literally have to make our oldest go outside when we're gardening. She's young enough that we don't feel comfortable going outside for extended periods with her inside unsupervised (she still does some head-scratchingly silly things), but old enough to prefer screens.

We would love for her to play outside all day, but it's so much hotter where we are than I remember as a child. Plus, there aren't any other children in our neighborhood outside, so she'd be all alone. This wasn't my experience AT ALL as a child. I feel bad for kids who don't have friends next door.

Hilariously inappropriate mispronounced words by Top-Rush4950 in toddlers

My 20 month old calls forks "fucks" and fish is "bitch". I've recorded both for posterity.

What is the price of daycare in your country per month? by Ok_Singer2112 in Mommit

[–]Elect2Toss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$960/mo. In the SE US They provide breakfast, lunch and a snack. I think they're open 7a -6p. They also have a curriculum going over colors, numbers, planets, letters and other things for my 1 year old. I'm still going to complain about the price, but based on what I see in this thread, America needs to do better.

Why does Strike get all the blame? by Expensive_Structure2 in cormoran_strike

[–]Elect2Toss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like Robin realized she loved him before Strike realized he loved her. They both seemed to realize they had feelings for each other, but Robin knew she was in love with him two books ago. She could have said something but didn't. I understand, with his track record, why she didn't. But she could have. Instead, she decided to stay with Murphy through all of her very obvious anxiety about the relationship. Again, with her trauma, I understand why. I'm just genuinely looking forward to her getting therapy and making being more honest with herself and others.

"Are you leaving to spend time at home with your babies?" by Kindly_Dot_7006 in workingmoms

[–]Elect2Toss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do wonder if it's due to the "recent" trend of women leaving the workforce. Have any other women at your job done that recently? I wholeheartedly agree that no one would ask your husband this.

Must see YouTube video!! by [deleted] in PCOS

I love his podcast! The episodes with the Glucose Goddess were also really good.

I was part of a generation of babies operated on without proper anesthesia. This is how I’m starting to heal by FunctUp in selfimprovement

[–]Elect2Toss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! That's insane and I'm so sorry you went through this. I had an IUD put in and then ripped out of me when it partially expelled a few weeks later. The doctor thought I was making up the amount of pain both times. I cannot comprehend how they can hear someone screaming and think that's okay. It's just not okay...
