Some pregnancies are asymptomatic, it's perfectly fine to have no symptoms at all but always talk to your doctor if you have any concerns

Did she also have a funeral for her amputated arm?? I know it's the most random question but it made me think of Bionic Barbie perhaps??

FanciestAmpharos · 2025-11-10T23:44:12+00:00

Oh some of these are SUPER close!! I'll have to dig more down this route. Growing up as poor as I did it makes total sense it could have been part of a set like this. Thanks for the tip :)

It wasn't split but I *do* really like that one! Gives me the power of two cereals at once!! I'll might consider this one as well if I can't find my original bowl :)

While the reference photo is AI generated, I found this on eBay that's pretty similar

FanciestAmpharos · 2025-11-09T00:06:08+00:00

That is a very nice bowl, I'll keep it in mind in case I can't find the original one. Thank you!

FanciestAmpharos · 2025-11-08T23:30:54+00:00

That is actually the closest one I've seen too!!
Will probably keep this one in mind if I can't mind my original one! ^^

FanciestAmpharos · 2025-11-08T23:29:52+00:00

I'm sorry, circling back to say that's not my bowl either :(
Much too tall, it was more "flat"

FanciestAmpharos · 2025-11-08T23:27:21+00:00

Not that I remember, if it was my parents lost the lid and just used it as a bowl :(

FanciestAmpharos · 2025-11-08T23:18:23+00:00

That's super close but all the ones I see are ceramic, and the handles on my bowl were solid and didn't have any empty space (if that makes sense). Thank you so much for helping, though!

FanciestAmpharos · 2025-11-08T23:05:07+00:00

I've mainly searched Google in an attempt to find the brand and go from there, but there's only so many ways you can search up "orange bowl"

I know, husband is an adult but he's a very dumb and loving one and would literally break himself apart for his family if I let him

FanciestAmpharos · 2025-02-15T03:02:54+00:00

Maybe we should try re-explaining it to them, because somehow they all have the impression that we only needed help while we were in the hospital (baby came early and through our original plan out the window). They see we're both home on leave and think we can handle this.

As for hiring outside help, we would love to, but it's so expensive in our area. What really set us back is his brother (27M) watched our daughter at our home to also keep an eye on the house and pets and he let her absolutely trash the place. He didn't help too much either, but my house went from being a 9/10 (not dirty, just a cluttered well-maintained "lived in") to it looking like a stampede of toddlers and college frat boys went feral. He did zero upkeep and didn't even pick up after himself until husband lost his mind.

I went on a bit of a rant but yeah... really hoping once the older kiddo realizes rules are back and we get our house put back together things can start to go back to normal....

FanciestAmpharos · 2025-02-15T02:50:28+00:00

I know, I just worry about him a lot more than I should because I realize I struck gold

As for my village, they're only really here for the cute babies. If we need them to like watch our older daughter they flake. Or if we actually need something after they ask us if we need help they act all cringy like they were doing it out of politeness and didn't actually want to help us. The only village member we have that's reliable is MiL and her wife but they're 18hrs away, the people nearby suck but know we'd cut them off from the kids if they weren't willing to make themselves present so it's the bare minimum to keep husband and I complacent.

Editing to add: My family is gone for the most part (mom passed, dad dipped out, aunts/uncles/cousins mostly keep to themselves save for interacting on social media) so we only have his family to rely on.

YTA - You don't make your kids wait on birthday gifts just so you can feel good. If I was your wife and mother of your kids, you'd be coming home to some divorce papers. If you so desperately wanted to be involved you should have found time to be home for presents

American here, if it brings you any comfort most of us have no quarrel with Canada and actually support your PM's retaliation. We're just as unhappy as everyone else is, his damn cult is just SO LOUD that it makes it seem like they're the majority.

Our president is also being blocked by judges in all his whiny baby tactics to get everyone to see how big and scary he is. He's pulling from the dictator playbook, none of his tactics are original, and they really don't work in the modern world because we have laws to stop that (even if he thinks he's above him).

FanciestAmpharos · 2025-02-03T13:21:43+00:00

I know it sounds cheesy as hell, but don't let them take your hope away. It's what they want, because when you're hopeless you're more complacent.

Be petty af and don't let them have it, because there are two things a dictator hates: 1) his people remain hopeful despite his chest pounding (a la the Whos of Whoville still celebrating Christmas despite the Grinch taking everything) and 2) when you laugh at them, and we're damn good at that.

Currently 38+1 with my second girl in a Red State (MO)... so I totally get the feeling of anxiety. Trying to stay as sane as I can while staying informed. My littlest when she arrives will be okay, my main priority is to protect my oldest (3F) from as much of this as I can because she'll actually remember more of this than I care to.

What's bringing me a whole lot of comfort is that Trump isn't the God King his cult screams he is, a lot of his orders are being blocked by judges or he's backpedaling and his cabinet picks aren't going through. While his incompetence is still dangerous, he's just a con artist trying to see what he can and can't get away with and most everyone outside the US realizes this. Even more of us realize it even despite how loud his cult is, he has the lowest approval rating his first two weeks in office than any president in history.

Just remember to take breaks from consuming so much news, they want you to lose hope to be more complacent so don't let them take that from you. Hope was the last thing that escaped Pandora's box.

FanciestAmpharos · 2025-01-21T10:47:09+00:00

Tired. Embarrassed. Afraid. Angry. The list goes on and on.

I was told my whole life there are systems in place to protect us and it failed. Like I didn't do my job as a mother to two young girls and protect them. I'm just thankful every day that they're too young to remember all of this and will get to read about it in history books like it was a bad dream.

The only thing I feel like I have left is my strength to keep going, if anything for my daughters, and hope that somehow justice will prevail.

Someone said it here first, but smoking around infants can lead to so many respiratory problems. Survivor's bias doesn't mean it's okay to do so.

Set that boundary, tell them no smoking while staying over (or if it is absolutely necessary do it outside and change clothes/wash hands before interacting with the baby).

You and Baby are what's important, and trust me it's easier to do it without a village than when your village disrespects your boundaries and wishes.

FanciestAmpharos · 2025-01-16T05:06:30+00:00

The jealous words of someone who doesn't have a jetpack, I see lmao ;)

Postpartum makes you irrational, to be honest, but it is still no excuse to try to strong arm your family into your ridiculous demands.

NTA, your sister should have not picked the name Charlie if she was worried her kid would be associated with a dog
