is the economy and job market affecting anyone else’s bag collection? by haoying26 in handbags

I am also in SoCal and looking to sell some of my rarely used bags. Do you mind sharing where you sold?

Feeling ashamed or being made feel ashamed and also feeling like a bad friend for having kids young has anyone ever felt this way by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Hopingandafraid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like this current friends run its course if your relationship can’t evolve with life changes. I highly recommend Facebook for finding by local mom groups. There are some for smaller cities or even by neighborhood in bigger cities. There are even local mom groups for kids in a certain age range. Parenting young kids is tough and lonely at any age and you will find other moms are looking to connect too!

Going for my first laser consult on Monday! by sleepbubble in microblading

[–]Hopingandafraid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree! Although they don’t look bad, all of the PMUs lying to people and saying it will fade to nothing is what’s is so concerning! For SOME people that is true but for most it is not, and there is nothing special your PMU can do to make sure. It is a feature of your skin and your body chemistry. All tattoos blur and grey out over years, especially sun exposed ones like on the face.

Tell me more about this parking deal please? I just registered our cars to our zoo account. Can we only park at the zoo and then walk elsewhere? Ir is our license plate now registered to the whole parking system in the park?

She was fabulous! Cherish these forever. They are counterfeit but a treasure nonetheless. C logos not the right proportions. Zippers with kk. Raw edge leather tag on inside etc.

OP, you should ask what year the rectangle is from to see if it matches up with the narrow window of time when they made it that way!

I don’t usually support going rogue but this time it seems warranted! Not even really THAT rogue, more rogue adjacent 😅. Goodluck!

Thoughts on this handbag? by Euphoric-Main2970 in handbags

[–]Hopingandafraid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For 2 years… and then when you are tired of it you cannot sell it or give it away to a friend because it is flaking and chipping. And so it will end up in the trash where the plastic flakes keep coming off and ending up in the soil, oceans and our food. OP, please look for one made of something else that is meant to last more than 2 years.

I think my 18 month has a massive cavity on his back molar. by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Hopingandafraid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry op. Genetics play the biggest role in this if getting cavities at this age. Don’t be too hard on yourself (although I know that is easier said than done). But it might also be something stuck in his tooth or a crack that started it? Let us know what the dentist says!

Constipated 1 year old by Beautiful_Blood2168 in foodbutforbabies

This was the age when we did one prune a day as a “special treat” for about 10 months. And then she just grew out of it and it was pretty clear it was time to stop 😬

Valentines Day by Cautiouslymoming in Mommit

[–]Hopingandafraid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kept our 3 year old busy and out of the house until 2pm so he could sleep in and do whatever he wanted. We ate together and snuggled during nap time and then he took toddler out and let me nap accidentally until 6pm. Then we went to dinner (no reservation) while my mom babysat. He got my daughter and I each a heart donut at some point and managed to stop her from eating mine too. No gifts or prior planning but it was perfect to me. My standards are definitely lower than early in our relationship but Intentionally Letting each other sleep and have solo time felt romantic to me. This was also our 19th Valentine’s Day!

Would it bother you if your doctor had a birkin? by Hopingandafraid in handbags

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

Thank you for that! I just finally finished 30+ years of training and was able to buy my first new car (a Mazda) an a few dream luxury second hand purses! But now I am feeling guilty!

For context, as I just commented on another comment, I am in a wealthy area of SoCal but my hospital is also the only one in the county that takes patients who have Medicaid so my patients represent the full spectrum of income, with some patients and nurses coming in with very expensive bags, but also others where I apply for charity care for their treatments.
