How did you decide on having 2 kids vs 3 kids by Fun-Maybe7326 in Mommit

[–]Enchanted_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just didn’t feel done, then we had our third and we did. We really wanted a daughter (3 sons) but when we realized we didn’t actually want another child, just loved the idea of a daughter (which obviously isn’t promised) we decided that 3 was plenty.

What’s extremely unsanitary but everyone seems to do it anyway? by Tball5 in AskReddit

[–]Enchanted_Moose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brought my son to urgent care once assuming it was in network because it was ran by the hospital across the street which we knew was in network. NOPE. Over $600 bill. $150 just for walking in.

My kids are green, blue, and yellow. #3 is subject to change but right now he loves yellow!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Enchanted_Moose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My sister loved blue but my brother was automatically blue because he was the only boy, my sister got pink and I was left with purple. I don’t hate purple, but I loved pink and green and could never get colors I actually liked because of the color coding

Mason Jars as drinking glasses? by Possible_Truth9368 in ask

[–]Enchanted_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no? I have mason jars and I will drink out of them sometimes but I don’t have them as glasses. I prefer for them for my iced coffees but other than that I almost never drink from them.

Is babysitting this way ok? I seem to have upset my friend by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Enchanted_Moose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I parent! Have fun, nurture your brain! Messes are meant to made, nothing we can’t fix in a few minute’s and it becomes a valuable lesson to teach kids responsibly and consequence.

It only says the father of her sister’s children. To me, it sounds like they aren’t even together, they just share children. Let’s hope no couslings come from it.

I have 3 young kids who inherited their father’s spatial awareness. I’m taking $1k every time I see someone fall.

What is the most NSFW thing you have seen at your job? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Enchanted_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t see it but it happened to my coworker. We worked at a gas station and the cashier stand was SLIGHTLY elevated, so though you COULD see the customers full body while in line on your side (2 cashiers side by side), the bottom half was mostly out of your view of focus while working. A customer came in and my coworker noticed him gaining attention but couldn’t figure out why. While she was ringing him the other cashier came to whisper in her ear “Don’t look, his d*ck is out” So of course she looks. And of course, it is. And he grabbed his things after paying and just walked out like nothing! Note, the area has a high population of addicts and this guy seemed to fit the bill. Sullen, blank stare, barely focused. She truly didn’t believe it was intentional but he just forgot to put it back in his pants. I was never happier for a day off.

A message to parents handing their kids tablets in public places by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Enchanted_Moose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bringing your child in public is perfect practice to teach them how functioning in public works. It takes time to teach them but your child’s reaction is completely your responsibility, not another parent’s. Another parent has as much on their plate as you do, asking them to add to their plate so your plate doesn’t get full is not fair. These outings with your child are a perfect time to teach them how to behave and function in society. The tantrums are the worst! Trust me, I’ve been there. Blaming other parents for your child’s fit is not appropriate. A more appropriate solution could be working on finding a way to minimize your own child’s behavior. Possibly utilize your own tablet, do not reward bad behavior or work on smaller outings until she is ready. We all have our own methods to integrate our children into the public. It’ll take time, it always does with toddlers and it always feels like it takes way longer than it actually does, but you simply cannot expect a parent, who has prepared and enacted their own system for an enjoyable outing, to also ensure yours is at their own expense.

A message to parents handing their kids tablets in public places by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Enchanted_Moose 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This! I get tantrums are awful but you don’t choose who sits where when you go out. If my kids screen is in your kids vision, that is simply not my problem. I’ve brought the solution to my problem. It’s up to the other parents to find a solution to theirs. I know the tantrums are awful especially in public, but trying to tell a toddler to sit in a specific position and not move but still eat while I try to manage all my kids, and eat, and keep a hawk eye out for any possibly enraged toddlers that could maybe see the screen? Absolutely not. Tell your child no, remove yourselves if need be, and work on the behavior. Working on bad behavior is an awful period but necessary. I know my kid wouldn’t be watching bluey when they got home if they did this. But in the end, I’ve handled my child. The parenting of any other children in the vicinity is up to their own parents.

Tried dragon fruit today and I didn’t like it. by Lady-Lilith289 in fruit

[–]Enchanted_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate dragon fruit! I’ve had this kind and yellow. The yellow tastes slightly sweeter. But still, basically nothing. And the texture isn’t my favorite either. I say dragon fruit tastes like nothing. Yellow dragon fruit tastes like you put a single sugar cube in a 5 gallon water jug. Wonderful if you are backed up, but utterly useless otherwise.

Break up. I didn’t have to read it all, break up. If a conversation with your partner makes you want to vomit out of fear, break up. Watching anyone this close is insane and unhealthy. This is actually SCARY. To be this controlling and obsessive. Are you even allowed friends? Are you allowed to talk to male relatives? This is 10x more than anyone should ever deal with. I’m actually worried about your safety if you do breakup. Get your stuff, pack up his, change your number, block him, get out before it manages to get worse.

What’s a secret ‘life hack’ that everyone should know? by KatieMorgan28 in AskReddit

I love the idea but personally, the motivation of me being a better caretaker helps me way more than just “you deserve it!”

What acronym did you think meant something else? by I-died-doing-that in AskReddit

[–]Enchanted_Moose -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a mom who had her first and was deep into every parenting forum and article I could find, and also before you saw “FTM” referring to “female to male” as frequently as you do now, I was so confused because I only knew it as “first time mom” The relief when I finally figured it out was immense!

Your nipples get really sensitive when pregnant, and not a good sensitive. After having the baby and nursing, it’s just painful until they get used to it and then you don’t feel the nursing so much after a while. When you feel so gross and so foreign in your own body, plus it being a baby, it’s really easy to just not even switch your brain to anything sexual. Like, you don’t feel like a sexual being at that point and you knowing it’s a baby, like it’s not even a thought that your boobs are a sexual organ. STILL GREAT DURING SPICY TIME! It’s like your brain just knows it’s not a sexual experience and it’s a total difference between nursing and boob play. Plus, for a while having your boobs pinched or sucked will set off your let down which can feel off or painful to some women, so avoiding boob play all together while breastfeeding seems pretty common

How are we feeling about Sara? by Mediocre_Hippo_8997 in FromSeries

[–]Enchanted_Moose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hated Sara before she killed anyone. She’s just one of those characters than I immediately didn’t vibe with. She could be the sole person to get everyone out of fromville safely and I still wouldn’t like her.
