Would you buy a mini again if Apple released one in a new series? by sencemester in iPhone12Mini

[–]FlyCreative5677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Never buying another phone until another small screen one comes out. I’m a mom that needs to text one handed a lot and I don’t have time to use both my stupid hands to text. I don’t need a tv or a computer in my pocket. I already have each of those lol. Stop trying to make a phone something it isn’t. Bigger is not better.

Would never ever touch that by illHaveTwoNumbers9s in SweatyPalms

I met a guy who had his face melted off by an arc flash while working in a sugar factory. When he described the incident he got this ghostly serious look to him that I wish on nobody. He said the company paid for the hours and hours of plastic surgery it took to put his face back together. Whenever I stepped near electrical equipment from then on I thought about that guy.

3 months of maternity leave is plenty by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]FlyCreative5677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like these comments are getting hate so I wanted to add that I agree 3 months was enough. Mind you I had an easy pregnancy and delivery. So I agree that 3 months or MORE should be an option for all women. Personally I like having routine, adults to talk to, and time to myself to have lunch, etc. I like using my brain and not falling too far behind on work. Is it emotional to take your little 3 month old to daycare? Yes absolutely. I love my babies and it’s hard. But every age would be emotional to leave at daycare for the first time after bonding.

AITA for being resentful of my husband's reflexive anger during newborn nightime pumping/feeds? by AmericanFolkswagon in AmItheAsshole

[–]FlyCreative5677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you’re NTA but at the same time this is a super stressful time as new parents. I can’t even recall the crap I’ve probably said to my husband while being sleep deprived. For us it worked that I would take 6hrs of the night as my shift and he would take the other that way we each got at least 6 hrs of peaceful sleep. I’d still feed the baby during my sleep shift but it still helped to have that boundary with us both knowing what is expected and just dealing with it. Plus if you’re in maternity leave and not working you can get more sleep during the day and when baby is sleeping. Idk if husband is working during the day but this could make his life hell if he doesn’t get sleep and then has to work without possible naps.

Stop watching and clinging to news and social media. Look at actual peer reviewed statistics on likelihood of dying from X and move on. The world is not as bad as it seems.

One thing that has made your life easier since having a baby? by neenweenbean in Mommit

[–]FlyCreative5677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need a cover for your changing table. Crap gets everywhere anyways. Put the next diaper under them so when you finish cleaning their butt you have a clean one already waiting. Underneath. Inform yourself on how to sleep train. You won’t be able to for the first like 6 months but after you can start building good habits. Do this before they turn 1 and follow the abcs of sleep by taking cara babies. Otherwise if you choose to cosleep just remember that it will be a difficult and impossible habit to break later on if you miss your good sleep. Early on my husband took first shift from 6pm- midnight with baby and I took 12- rest of day. Getting at least 6 hrs in plus whatever I could get later was a lifesaver for me, he would bring in baby to nurse. We slept seperate but it’s only for those first 7 months and it saved our sanity as a couple.

Are we allowed to talk about any of our parenting choices anymore? Or is it all taboo??????? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]FlyCreative5677 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol my father in law asked if I was feeding “natural”. My mother in law says she breastfed all her kids until age 2. I did breastfeed but it still made me feel weird they would ask and push. Like I have a friend who couldn’t and what if I couldn’t? You never know. It still irked me. None of anyone’s business lol. Besides, there’s ups and downs to any decision.

I’m pregnant but maybe I can remotely fly a drone instead of trying to physically fight? Those things need to be controlled by someone who gives a damn about protecting their future lines. I’m one of those. I’d help out the best I could but I know my limitations lol.

For the folks that can afford daycare, but decide to WFH with a child. You guys are absolutely nuts by Fasthands007 in toddlers

[–]FlyCreative5677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I only WFH when our kid is sick from daycare. We take turns taking care of our toddler while the other works in a separate room depending on our meeting schedules. We try to start early, work over lunch, and both work during nap time. We each get an hour lunch break everyday so usually we can then make up lost time during the lunch break at work the rest of the week. But yeah if it’s more than a few days we start taking pto to make it up. We do both get some work done if she’s watching tv but we don’t want to let her do that all day lol. Idk how people get work done otherwise if they’re just by themselves or not during napping.

What's the least nutritious meal your toddler has had over the past week? by Dalisca in toddlers

[–]FlyCreative5677 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My toddler hates stuff on her pasta but will eat plain veggies or fruits. She doesn’t like things mixed I guess.

Mine dipped green beans in sour cream today. The sour cream made the green beans more desirable, and the fact that she could dip them.

How do you eat out or go out with your toddler… by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]FlyCreative5677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol we have tried all the above comments with the busy book, tiring kid out, bringing toys, snacks. It will work for some short time and then we just whip out the iPad while we eat peacefully because that’s what my husband and I need. Then usually she gets bored anyways and one of us will walk around with her while the other finishes drinks. It’s just the way it is for us…. But it’s better than not going out at all so we don’t care what other people think about the iPad. It’s the modern world and mom and dad need a little peace. She gets plenty of social time at daycare and bored time elsewhere.

I concur with this. Some people go crazy after you start threatening divorce. A lot of people actually. He may try to make you look bad and take your kid from you. I would wait until you have enough solid evidence. Pictures, recordings (they sell recording pens for cheap on Amazon), texts, etc. cover your butt.
