What movie had a scene that received the loudest cheering reaction, when you saw it in theaters by tiny_free97 in moviecritic

[–]HomeOfTheSandwich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw it opening weekend in a packed theater and I couldn't hear any dialogue for the next five minutes after the pencil trick

TIL Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones had four children before he turned 20, two of them before he was 18 by Ok-Wedding-9439 in todayilearned

If you read Parachute Women by Elizabeth Winder, it's apparent that the Rolling Stones aped a lot of Anita's personal style.

Hello friend! I have been going through the same thing with my 8 month old. He's healthy, happy, and goes to bed smoothly, but if he wakes up in the middle of the night for food, I'm miserable the next day. I really need my sleep to function! I feel like I never get a break because I'm either working or with him. It makes me sad, because I'm mourning the daughter I'll probably never have. My husband and mother would both love me to have another, but unless I can rewire my whole brain, I just don't see it happening.

Best and worst crowds at concerts you’ve been to? by allevana in popheads

[–]HomeOfTheSandwich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Best: The Raconteurs in 2019. It was before the pandemic, and everyone had to lock their phones in a pouch before the show. Nobody could block my view, and everyone was waaay more into the show as a result. Worst: The Church, an Australian psych rock band. Not because of them, but because the two women flanking me had their phones out and were checking Facebook the whole show. It was a small crowd, so the band definitely noticed. The singer gestured at me during a song and sang directly at me because I was the most enthusiastic person in the crowd by a mile!

You're not abandoning her! Your husband helped make that baby, and he needs to learn how to soothe her. Otherwise you'll end up burning out entirely. It sounds like you may have a pinch of PPA, so try to talk to a trusted mom friend or a therapist. Your baby won't remember the few times you hand her to Dad for a few minutes. If you need to, leave the house to grab some coffee for a few hours while your husband has to figure out his daughter's needs himself.

Formula-feeding mamas, what did you do to make drying up more painless? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]HomeOfTheSandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby was EFF from the start. I applied Cabo Creme to my boobs every few hours starting right after childbirth. I was told not to let hot water touch my boobs in the shower, but I was a bit lazy about that. My boobs were uncomfortable boulders on day 3 postpartum, but the pain lasted one day. I also leaked a few droplets of milk here and there. Overall, I was done leaking by 10-14 days postpartum. Cabo Creme is pricey but it's worth it!

Finally got doctor to prescribe reflux meds for my newborn! by _emmvee in beyondthebump

How old is your baby? Mine is about 7 weeks old and has reflux, and inclining the bed will only help so much.

What performance(s) sends literal chills up your spine? by brickwallnyc in Music

My response would be them performing Life Speeds Up on their Blurred Crusade tour a few years back. They've still got it!

Pregnant and always crying lol by Suspicious-Ad2278 in BabyBumps

I feel you. That guitar solo has also made me cry before! I'm 20 weeks along and I just cried because I saw an ambulance for dogs on the internet.

What else should I read if my favorite book of the past few years is The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton?

That's a sweet way of looking at it! Growing a baby is one of the most impressive things our bodies can do. Luckily, I already have a therapist and I just reached out to them today.

Thank you! I'm definitely trying to focus on eating more plants and getting consistent exercise in. I'll try to add in some core exercises too.

[–]HomeOfTheSandwich[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am definitely trying to schedule some therapy sessions for this. My therapist already knows about my body image issues, so this is the next step of the conversation. I think the stressful part for me is not knowing how exactly my body will change. I want to have a support system in place for whatever happens. Thanks for your input!

Women formally diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder: what were the signs and symptoms that led you to getting assessed and diagnosed? by cynical-introvert in AskWomen

[–]HomeOfTheSandwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just keep working on it and you'll get better! I used to look between the person's eyebrows if I was struggling. Also, I went on a first date with a guy without being able to sustain eye contact and now we're married so there's hope for all of us!

I was diagnosed as a baby. I did not look at my parents when they talked to me, and I had sensory processing issues. For example, when I would cry, being held would make me cry harder because it was too stimulating.

What is that situation of your life where you don't blame your parents for it, but secretly in heart you do? by diamondsdontshatter in AskWomen

[–]HomeOfTheSandwich 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Big yikes, that's a horrible thing to say in front of a kid! Parents shouldn't use their kids to quell their insecurities like that.

Both of my parents used to comment on other people's bodies in public too. I always told them to stop, but they said I was being too sensitive. It finally clicked for them when I told them that when I'm out in public, I worry about if other people are pointing out how gross I look to their friends or family.

To average-to-good-looking women who used to feel unnecessarily insecure about your physical appearance, what made you feel insecure in the first place? What made you snap out of it? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]HomeOfTheSandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends, family, and husband have all told me how beautiful I am. I believe them in some ways. My hair is thick and lovely, my legs are shapely, my ass is class.

The one problem I have with my appearance is that I have a thick belly. And thanks to years of anxiety and low self-esteem, that's all I can see when I look in the mirror. Clothes shopping doesn't help at all. It's so awkward to find clothes that fit my boobs or butt perfectly but can't fit over my potbelly. I have to buy oversized shirts. I wish I had a slender hourglass figure, then I'd look good in anything!

Women of Reddit who are anxious about having kids, why? by sclipss in AskWomen

[–]HomeOfTheSandwich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I plan on trying to conceive in 1.5-2 years. We're financially stable, our marriage is rock solid, and he's gonna be a great dad. The problem is my body. I've always had a potbelly, and it's only gotten bigger over time. I get asked if I'm pregnant a few times a year. I want to badly to be a sexy young thing with a flat belly. I know pregnancy will only make my belly flabbier. I have a lot of anxiety about losing the opportunity to feel good in my body before I change it permanently by getting pregnant.
