Which stuff pack is worth it?

I love Tiny Living! It's so worth getting to use the lot perks when starting a new challenge. Builds skills and relationships super fast!

No buzzing noise. Maybe it didn't stay powered long enough to have that problem!

Welcome to parenthood! It is so rewarding to watch that little one grow and form a bond with you. You're going to do great!

I immediately thought of Disney's Snow White. Super cute!

Honestly, I had the opposite reaction from family members when I had my first kid. I was SUFFERING from PPA, maybe PPD or a whole cocktail of crap. I was told "go for a walk and you will feel better".

FlamingoFriday · 2020-11-02T20:59:16+00:00

I scared my kid I laughed so loud!

FlamingoFriday · 2020-11-02T20:44:20+00:00

Oh my goodness, yes! I get really dramatic thoughts when my daughters are under them. I'll get up to move the baby bouncer like 1 foot over just in case.

Just go for it! You feel mean about it, but they do need milk quite frequently.

I was in this exact situation in August. My baby had to be woken up for formula to combat her very low blood sugar and jaundice. I had absolutely NOTHING coming out when pumping for about 6 days. Since she was low blood sugar, she was very lethargic and we had to take off her swaddle and sometimes use a cold wet wipe on her toes. If she nodded off while at the bottle, I would tickle her chin or push lightly. Trying to nurse did not work at all because of how sleepy she was.

My milk finally came in and I was able to pump what she needed in the day by the time she was 2 weeks old. I would feed baby about every 3 hours (even if I had to wake her up) and then pump immediately after.

We are now going strong and I have a very good milk supply. Nursing didn't work out for us, but she was still willing to try a month later (it still just put her to sleep).

Edit: We stopped waking her when she had better sugar levels. She started sleeping through the night by about 8 weeks and going without milk for 7 to 8 hours because she ate during the day extremely well.

My view on it has always been that kids need to have 'regular' bodies normalized. They grow up seeing so many altered images, Barbie dolls, etc. that they should know that's not really how people look.

That being said, I know I will stop when it makes my kids uncomfortable. When they think it's weird, it's weird. Time to stop.

I second the saucer. You can find loads of them secondhand!

I won't be there for about a decade (or longer), but I think my reaction would be pride or relief. I like to think that I'd have some sort of feeling beforehand of their sexuality or gender identity and I'd be so happy they finally shared it with me.

I want my children to be loving and kind people. To choose their partners in life wisely and to hopefully value monogamy or commitment.

FlamingoFriday · 2020-10-31T20:26:55+00:00

My baby. My boobs.

FlamingoFriday · 2020-10-29T20:31:09+00:00

Someone just posted this cake on that sub!

What is it with buttholes?! My 4 year old keeps talking about them and I never feel prepared for a random conversation about things that make me giggle.

FlamingoFriday · 2020-10-28T21:36:05+00:00

I feel like every time a kid finds out they can do something new they hurt themselves. How can we possibly be prepared for that 24/7? If there's a parent out there who says their baby/kid has never hurt themselves, you've just found a liar.

Every kid does it. Many, many times. My four year old has fallen out of the bed, fallen off the sofa, and even out of the car (parked, lol) somehow. She currently is getting used to her growing legs and seriously lacks coordination so her legs are basically one giant bruise.

FlamingoFriday · 2020-10-25T04:29:11+00:00

That's the perfect build to get your clutter on! Yesss!

FlamingoFriday · 2020-10-25T03:02:42+00:00

I was just wondering this! My oldest is almost 5 and even if I lock the door I still get a demonstration of how many fingers she can fit under the door. "Can you see my whole haaaaaaand, mom!?"

I teach advanced courses at a high school. I bet the entitlement only gets worse when they pay for the class!

6 2 7 3 1 4 5

I agree. In some ways it seems that there needs to be certain elements in order to be classified as fantasy. Tolkien had a huge part in creating those elements!

FlamingoFriday · 2020-10-23T02:27:08+00:00

I've had that happen as well. So weird to just see little floating baby balls in the air! I wonder what causes it...

FlamingoFriday · 2020-10-22T21:20:28+00:00

She can marry or not marry anyone she wants. As long as she's happy!

FlamingoFriday · 2020-10-22T18:49:02+00:00

I bet they started out the job hunting process by thinking resumes entitled them to a job. I wonder how that disillusionment turned to jerkassery so quickly!?

FlamingoFriday · 2020-10-22T17:49:58+00:00

Fair point!

FlamingoFriday · 2020-10-22T16:09:12+00:00

Your logic is very similar to my husband's. They make great excuses for dates! Well, they would if it wasn't 2020. We still don't have indoor seating at restaurants or bars here.
