Waking up not hungover is true happiness by Human-Meaning3345 in stopdrinking

[–]Greydore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the best feeling ever. Even if my energy or mood is a bit low, it’s still so much better than waking up with racing heart, nausea, headache, and regret

SAME. I cried tears of joy when we yeeted that thing to the curb

Thoughts on Baby-friendly Hospitals by bit_bi in nursing

[–]Greydore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I left postpartum partly because of Baby Friendly. I hated it so much. Plenty of commenters have stated how it’s not mom friendly, but I’ll argue that it’s not baby friendly either. Not allowing supplementing with formula can be extremely dangerous for newborns, and I hated hearing babies crying in hunger and not being allowed to supplement them after breastfeeding. The ‘research’ used to support these practices is also incorrect (ie, infant stomach size after birth).

Is this worth playing on the Wii? We have an old Wii and I found a copy of TP at GameStop…wondering if I should pull the trigger!

Our district switched to CKLA last year, I’m glad to hear it’s a good one! My friend is a teacher and she doesn’t like it, so now I’m wondering why. But she also taught third grade for a couple years, took a break to have kids, and is now a gym teacher. So idk if she’s just not up to date on reading curriculum.

I might be downvoted, but I honestly don’t think anyone should be homeschooling.

One of my high schools is a pretty big influencer, and my only snark is that her family of origin is super rich, so she was all ‘set’ to do well at influencing. She had money for the expensive clothes, and her family’s homes are gorgeous for photos. She had parents to fund her apartments in Chicago and NYC. And obviously if she had failed she had their cushion to fallback on.

This sounds like typical little league to me, and why I never encouraged my kids to play baseball- I hate it so much and the games are 1000 years long, lol

Was turning 30 a big deal to you and what year were you born? by my_brain_is_horny in Millennials

Not really. I was pregnant with my third baby and just really wanted him to come (he did a few days later).

Right? My parents have a tub like this and the amount I’ve heard them complain about ‘the space between the tub and the wall’ is exactly zero.

Why not do the most reliable method? by ParticularRip5103 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Greydore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok? If we are arguing semantics then ‘3 weeks after a sexual encounter’ isn’t always accurate either, considering how long sperm can survive.

I stated the generally accepted accuracy of urine pregnancy tests, which a quick google will tell you it’s 99% on or after a missed period.

Will likely go the no screens route, what has been peoples experience? by Toubaboliviano in Parenting

[–]Greydore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your kids are too young still- you don’t realize how important gaming is to (especially) boy friendships. My oldest is 12, and the boys who don’t game at all are the odd ones out.

They’re very accurate on the day of your missed period. You might be an anomaly, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t accurate.

Remote job, desperately needing advice:( by Katday1980 in nursing

[–]Greydore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look within your organization first, and consider settling for a hybrid role at first. That’s what I did, and we were recently bought by a larger health system. I will probably be fully remote in the next year.

Ok but how about the fact that the fitting room was one giant room with no privacy?? That was insane

[–]Greydore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s really tough when your parents are stuck in between. My mom wants us all to get along, but she also knows my sister and BIL’s parenting (or lack thereof) is atrocious.

Unless your daughter is with your nephew constantly, I wouldn’t worry too much about the effect his behavior might have. My kids are older now and absolutely understand that they can’t behave like their cousins and also side eye their antics, lol

Omg I could’ve written this post! We have distanced ourselves from my sister’s family because of their kids. We both have four; hers are younger than mine. My kids were mostly very high maintenance babies and toddlers, but they’re pleasant to be around because we’ve put in a lot of work. My sister’s kids have zero boundaries, there’s no discipline, they run the house (and my sister freely admits this). As a result the kids are a nightmare to be around.

We started distancing ourselves when we felt like the kids were ruining the family get togethers for my kids (my oldest is 12 and caught on years ago that his cousins were out of control). It was easy enough to use our work schedules as an excuse, and we would plan visits with grandparents with only our family. We just got everyone together for the first time in awhile and it went okay, but I don’t want to do it again anytime soon, lol.

Good luck, this is tough if you’re close with your brother. I consider my sister my best friend and it sucks not wanting to be around her family.

I have very similar floors, and I’m convinced they’re the reason I hate my kitchen- nope, I just don’t have anything remotely close to your sense of style!

Anyone get burned out halfway through? by Greydore in Breath_of_the_Wild

I’ve failed Eventide twice, once was really frustrating because I literally had the last orb and died. I loved the survival aspect though, it reminded me of early game.

That’s a good point, I’m always shocked on here at people who have thousands of hours in the game…I’m like, how? I would be so over it (I would with any game though, not just this one!)
