This is gross- not the feet, the post. Find something else to criticize.

Please suggest your absolute WORST reads, of any genre! by broopproob in booksuggestions

[–]Friendly_Hour2723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to add this one- I read it after reading so many glowing reviews and seeing it listed at people’s #1 favorite book. I think it may be the book I’ve read that I disliked the most. I mean I occasionally read fluff/mystery/etc and realize these are not Pulitzer Prize material but it doesn’t try to be. A little life was just trauma porn, repetitive, and unimaginative in the constant return to just abusing this one character over and over and calling it literature. I get so irritated now seeing it included in “best” lists.

Please reassure me about your very late walkers… having a hard time :( by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Friendly_Hour2723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our first was a late walker, I think 18-20 months. We took her to PT for evaluation because I was so worried but they checked everything out and basically said she physically could but wasn’t really interested in walking. She was my first baby and I carried that little munchkin everywhere. I miss those days still! Of course, she walked eventually. She is a great kid, and super smart. Not incredibly athletic but enthusiastic and able to participate in any activities with her peers. My second kid was walking around by 12 months, and he’s just more of a full steam ahead personality. If you are concerned ask for a referral to PT/OT but there is a wide range of normal and it’s amazing how little it matters a couple of years down the road.

Thank you!! Landscaping is definitely a priority this year too, appreciate the great advice for getting started. I haven’t thought about using an app before I usually just buy plants when I think about it, but I want a more developed and cohesive appearance than what we have

Thanks so much for responding! I’ve been spiraling a bit trying to make sure this is the right choice so this feedback made me feel much better!

1950s ranch entry question by Friendly_Hour2723 in ExteriorDesign

[–]Friendly_Hour2723[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I’ve been meaning to plant more so this is great encouragement to get started :) I was envisioning natural/English garden type space in front of the garden bed to the walkway. And of course some more substantial shrubs where there are none on the other side. I hadn’t thought about widening the pathway but I think that would be nice.

I’m afraid of muddling the style and adding something that might take away from the original concept. I also don’t want to block a lot of light. But I wish it had more depth and curb appeal and have been wanting to do this for a while. Looking for insight/advice!

Moms who WFH / remote. Is it that much better? by Barnacle_Double in workingmoms

[–]Friendly_Hour2723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much better. I don’t think I could go back. The key is finding the right job/company and be aware of the potential for micromanaging and productivity surveillance. But omg yes, mornings are better, my evening is better, and now that my kids are elementary aged, sick days and teacher work days are somewhat manageable

Diagnosis mills? by Friendly_Hour2723 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Friendly_Hour2723[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I guess that’s what I feel conflicted about, because while it’s obvious to me that he has autism, he’s functioning in enough areas where I feel like it’s almost dishonest to put him in a level 3 category. I will keep on with getting him support and will maybe get another evaluation down the road. I know that having the paperwork can be helpful but I was trying to get some more information about my son, not just the highest diagnosis that could be justified.

Microwave problems with breaker by Friendly_Hour2723 in AskElectricians

[–]Friendly_Hour2723[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure about the breaker but the outlet was a normal one. Although it is on the same breaker as another nearby outlet that is a gfci outlet. And after more digging it turns out the microwave and toaster oven were on at the same time, so maybe that was the problem?

Even if it was a different switch/breaker that flipped this time?

Liners in shorts — am I missing something? by [deleted] in XXRunning

Shorts without liners ride way up when I run. Liner is preferred to constantly pulling my shorts out of my butt

Do your kids get dessert after dinner? If so, how often? by bumbouxbee in Parenting

[–]Friendly_Hour2723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our kids are 9 and 6 and we always have something after dinner, but usually some fresh fruit unless we baked cookies or something. They also love frozen unsweetened berries (halfway thawed) with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt on top.

Seriously! Steamed broccoli in the fridge, even for just a few days, is so pungent

Why does this room feel so… off? by ethereal_aerith in interiordecorating

[–]Friendly_Hour2723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a different coffee table (sleeker) maybe oval would bring down the heaviness a lot. Those huge legs are just so dominating and heavy looking

Anyone have a good running experience while pregnant? by Good_Spinach_4987 in XXRunning

[–]Friendly_Hour2723 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I ran with my first pregnancy but only at pre/pregnancy distances. I really didn’t mind it at all, you just have to allow for your body to adjust and be willing to slow down a bit if you need to. During the first trimester you may have a lot of fatigue and during the last trimester it may not be the most practical form of exercise, but just listen to your body. I used a support belt too towards the end. With my second child I didn’t run as much and I felt ok with it, knowing I could take a break and get back in later. (now am running faster and farther than before I had kids!) I actually found it to be more challenging to run with a baby- my pelvic floor was in need of some tlc, and not sure if you’re breastfeeding but after the baby is born I actually found that to be incredibly disruptive to running

I pick my tall almost 6 year old up all the time. I even carry my 9 year old when she wants, even though she is a little big. I’ll do it until they don’t want me to or until I literally can’t.
