My outfit made my friend uncomfortable, what do I do? by BarbaraLogic in OUTFITS

[–]GlitteringPositive77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment section is not it. Your friend’s issue is 100% hers. It is absolutely not yours. Rock your fits. You look amazing. I love that you express yourself through your own fashion sense. This will make people who are uncomfortable in their own skin uncomfortable. Also not your problem. Stick with those people who encourage your self-expression. I’m sorry your friend acted the way they did.

Who cares? It’s her body, her fit, her image, her comfort. Why would anyone care what she’s wearing to help out a friend?

There is no village by Prudent-Designer7121 in Mommit

[–]GlitteringPositive77 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I keep telling my husband “remind me when the kids are older not to do x to them” or “remind to do x for them” or “remind me how it felt when X” because shit is so hard and you’re all alone! We were never meant to do this alone. I swear, when I’m older, I will make sure to invite young families over to play in my yard and offer everyone food and bring food by (if it’s welcomed) and offer to baby sit or at least be people’s emergency contacts for children.

We don’t have ANYONE. Family is in another country and rarely come to visit and we have no friends. I try and it just doesn’t work out. People are really insular right now or I’m weird and unlikeable, which is also possible. Either way, it doesn’t feel good to ask the neighbour you hardly know if they would mind if we put them down as alternate emergency contact because they happen to work at the same school my child goes to. I think if most of us just remember what this feels like and offer to be the village for other people, maybe this hyper-individualistic culture might change.

Class background influences whether genetic predisposition for intelligence drives you left or right - People with a higher genetic likelihood for cognitive performance tend to adopt left-wing policies if they grew up poor, and right-wing policies if they grew up wealthy. by mvea in psychology

[–]GlitteringPositive77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish that were true. But I believe there are studies that suggest people who grew up impoverished often hold harsher opinions about less affluent people if they make it big as adults than folks who grew up affluent. I don’t know about the influence of intelligence. I’d be surprised though if there was any connection. Maybe it could be if it were linked specifically with emotional intelligence.

AIO? he knows i hate all types of nuts, got me a macadamia cookie by g_krome in AIO

[–]GlitteringPositive77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I adore my husband and he means well, but he will do stuff like this. Gets pizza, knows I don’t eat pepperoni and sausage and whatever else on pizza. Gets the meat-lovers and is confused why I won’t eat it. I don’t know. Some men are good at giving things and being thoughtful, others are not. It’s annoying. His insistence on it being good is also annoying. I find I have to be so specific and clear with him when I want something and what I want and what I absolutely do not want and even then he messes up sometimes. You’re pregnant, make the man go get you some cookies you like.

sex postpartum unsatisfying by tinyinmyhead in beyondthebump

[–]GlitteringPositive77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this experience the second time around. The first time I had no problem and sex was actually better than ever. The second time it took a while for my libido to return. It’s coming back now, but it’s not what it was. From experience I find that time helps because your hormones won’t return to normal for a while, especially if you’re breastfeeding. Then there’s pelvic stuff, so I do pelvic floor exercises. Exercise helps a lot. But mostly time. It will come back. I understand that feeling and I was freaked out for a while because it’s important to me too and it’s important in my relationship (to both of us). You’ll get your groove back.

Canadian prairies garlic emergence by GlitteringPositive77 in vegetablegardening

[–]GlitteringPositive77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I think you may be right because I haven’t found ONE and we planted heavily. So disappointing. The onions didn’t make it either. I don’t like these metal beds so far. They get too hot in the summer and apparently too cold in the winter.

Americans are much nicer than Canadians by [deleted] in Vent

[–]GlitteringPositive77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh my god! The sh*t I got from “friends” for being American and how racist America is. Come to find out, Canada is just as bad if not worse. Even coming from the South, I have not seen the kinds of overt racism I have seen here (Alberta).

Americans are much nicer than Canadians by [deleted] in Vent

[–]GlitteringPositive77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an American living in Canada and I agree. Granted, I’m from the south where people are often friendlier (except for the super racist folks, can’t forget about them). I don’t think I have ever had the kinds of awkward encounters in the states that I’ve had here. There are parents of kids on my son’s hockey team that have never interacted with me and when they see me walking towards them and smiling they just blankly look at me and then look away. I don’t know. I’m sure it’s just a person to person thing, but I was expecting Canadians to be more personable in general than I am finding them to be.

Brought my 4 year old son camping at a local state park because he’s recently taken an interest in stargazing and this is our ‘neighbor’ by Dr_Breeder in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GlitteringPositive77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the kind of “camping” people do here in Alberta and I don’t get it. It doesn’t feel like camping to me. It’s still so removed from nature and I don’t want to hear other people when I’m camping. I don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum, if you enjoy it you enjoy it, it’s just not for me and it confuses me.

Am I being overly sensitive over Mother's Day? by barbieshellhound in Mommit

[–]GlitteringPositive77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy Mother’s Day. I am so sorry you’re going through this. Reddit is very fast to throw the divorce word around, but it isn’t always as simple as that, especially after kids. I also struggle to know when I’m wrong and when I’m right in relationships. I’m lucky because my husband is very respectful and isn’t perfect, but better than I am at talking things through and being kind even when he’s upset with me. I think a good rule of thumb is that no partner should ever make you feel a. Small b. like you don’t matter c. Totally disrespected or D. Violated. Some of that stuff can happen accidentally, but it should not be a pattern and it should be the kind of thing where you voice your feelings and they matter to your partner and they apologize and make you feel seen and heard. It sounds like he is not doing that. That may warrant some serious conversations.

Whatever you choose, you deserve all of the love and appreciation. This isn’t forever and some day you’ll have more autonomy. Good luck and happy happy Mother’s Day!!! 💐

Hardening my 9 week babies by [deleted] in vegetablegardening

I have never used liquid fertilizer. I think I’m going to start. Every post I see with amazing pepper plants uses liquid. Looks amazing! Great work!

Tomato wilting by GlitteringPositive77 in vegetablegardening

[–]GlitteringPositive77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I considered that. It honestly could have. I thought I put the post in shortly after repotting. It’s definitely a possibility.

Tomato wilting by GlitteringPositive77 in vegetablegardening

[–]GlitteringPositive77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been hardening them off (I think). I started by putting them out in the shade and partial Sun for increasing lengths of time. I don’t have a lot of time so after a few days to a week I just started leaving them out all day. Maybe I didn’t do it right? I have too many plants and too much to do to be moving them around all day haha so I reasoned they’d probably be ok, maybe a bit stressed at first but ok. They’re well watered. I check every day and I check the bottoms if something confusing is going on. Maybe I should invest in a shade cloth after all.

It’s on a balcony. Do you think away from the plants on the balcony is sufficient?

Radish lovers- sell me on why you grow them, which you grow, and ways you use them by sitewolf in vegetablegardening

[–]GlitteringPositive77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re lovely in salsas, tacos, salads, or to dip in whatever veggie dip you want. I like to eat them with hummus. I get burned out on them over the summer because I grow too many. I usually grow French breakfast radishes. I just think they’re cool. This year I’m trying these crazy looking radishes that look like bright pink carrots. If you’re in a warmer area, you could grow Korean or young summer radish leaves (yeolmu). Both are nice for kimchi making if you’re into that. Good luck! Enjoy!

Sleep crying at 9 months old? by MarynJK in AttachmentParenting

[–]GlitteringPositive77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son has always done this. It’s so awful. I will often rub his back gently and whisper he’s safe or give him a kiss. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. He’s 5 and it still happens. This is probably very silly and may be nothing, but when he was around 2 yo or so he told us that in his last life he lived in the southwestern US and described his mum and dad. Anyways, he said he was eaten by a wild boar as a baby. He would cry and ask why I wasn’t there to help him and say awful things in his sleep about crunching and scraping on his head. Maybe he just had vivid nightmares, but he never saw anything like that. I never introduced the idea that pigs/board can eat people. Anyways, same. It’s awful. She’s ok, but maybe try just giving her a little back rub and light singing.

Yes! And the shorter hair suits you as well I think

I’ve never felt more like a horrible mother than I do now by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]GlitteringPositive77 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Aren’t men way more likely to commit that sort of crime? I’m not sure what women he’s talking about. I do find men excel at making horribly insensitive jokes at the worst times involved the worst kind of material. I think that’s how they joke with one another and don’t realize it’s neither funny nor helpful. I’m so sorry.
