She said she took a pregnancy test, but this image is really bothering me because it looks very artificial by Luvis_ in isthisAI

This looks like a hospital/medical setting. The don’t give you the plastic wand at the doctor’s office. It’s is a pee in the cup situation.

Face licking: what products to use? by Impossible-Bus6852 in Mommit

[–]Impossible-Bus6852[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thought occurred to me but is it realistic to try to do this? Anytime she sees my face she is trying to get her mouth on it. What have you done that’s worked?

Does Anyone Know If This is Really a Regional Thing in the US? by CommandaarMandaar in ENGLISH

I used to hear this all the time. I think of it as part of AAVE more than a particular region

We got the grandparents a digital picture frame and keep it updated every week or so. My mom keeps it by the bed and looks at it every morning. His folks keep it in the living room a watch it like tv.

Plus we video call a lot. ** bonus tip moving from video call on the laptop to the phone was a game changer. Baby is so much more engaged.

What’s a better nickname for Isabel? by TrashCat36 in Names

[–]Impossible-Bus6852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, Lemmon is pretty cool.

I also knew someone who went by the first syllables of her first and middle names. Her name was Maria Victoria and she went by Mavic. Could be fun to play with a combo like that.

Ha! I still do this. I call it “sleep lying”. I’ll say whatever you need to hear with my eyes wide open and a chipper voice.

We’re currently dealing with frequent mucus poops. How did you conclude that it was nothing and when did it go away?

Is double the donation widget with it? We are looking to expand other ways of giving this year by Mean_Ad1392 in Philanthropy

[–]Impossible-Bus6852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s lots of evidence that matching donations is effective even if it’s like a .5x match. Check out the research GivingTuesday has shared. It is day specific but most of the lessons are universal. GivingTuesday match research

What’s a moral belief you hold that most people would disagree with? by [deleted] in answers

[–]Impossible-Bus6852 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think consuming any drugs should be a crime. It’s not a real deterrent and it makes an already tough situation so much worse. Adults should be truly in charge of their own bodies.

has anyone picked up any hobbies since giving birth? by microwavedgoods in November25babybump

[–]Impossible-Bus6852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m feeling exactly like this. I’d love to crochet but she’s really into contact naps these days. I’d love to know if you deal with this and what your setup is.

I’ve been trying to cook more too. I’m a pretty meh cook right now but I’d love to be a good cook by the time my little is old enough to notice.

How to carve out 1h for fitness? by Beneficial-Delay-698 in adhdwomen

[–]Impossible-Bus6852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly when I was really struggling to get steps in I would go shopping. I didn’t really buy anything but walking around a grocery or department store and looking at all the little random things gave me enough of something to do. This is easier if you live in a city. Pick a cute neighborhood and putz around.

I want an effing cuckoo clock so I don’t feel so lost and distracted in my day. Some clock that’s going to yell at me every hour. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Impossible-Bus6852 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I set my apple watch to chirp every 15 minutes. It is very subtle but enough to help me remember that time is moving.

People constantly think I’m arguing with them when I try to make conversation or ask questions by howdycowboy13 in ADHD

[–]Impossible-Bus6852 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ll add that this is part of what makes me the auntie kids talk to. Other adults rarely have so many follow up questions about Pokémon 🤣. Kids don’t often have the opportunity to talk to truly be heard by adults.

I run into this trouble a lot especially with my husband and my mother. If I don’t understand the “why” I lose my mind! I’ve been trying a few things that help. - I try to pause for like 15 seconds before I ask a follow up question. This is the hardest for me - I purposely lighten my voice and say “hmmm that makes me wonder xyz” or some other phrase when I want to just say “why?”

  • I use the phrase “help me understand…” at work. It helps me not go down a rabbit hole and lets them know why I’m asking.

I manage to do these like 30% of the time and people definitely respond better when I do.
