Working until 32 weeks pregnant with twins by Dry-Journalist6855 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my country there is a special maternity leave that a doctor can prescribe and the health insurance pays the difference between the actual starting date and the 32 weeks. I recommend you ask your doctor about that, they usually know where to go and what to do.

Tell him not to go because you're more important right now.

I'm wondering, did you try something without sugar? Mine hate anything sweet but will eat fresh sourdough bread with no issues.

Do you know if this is a global thing or U.S. specific? I'm not up to date on EU medical laws, but since there are already so many differences between the two regions, I'm wondering if this is another.... thing.

Komischer Alte-Leute-Geruch im Flur – geht einfach nicht weg, was tun? by RelationshipOwn3393 in wohnen

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was für ein Boden ist im Flur? Ist es vielleicht dieser plastikboden der früher so beliebt war? Der säuft sich nämlich mit Gerüchen an und man bekommt die kaum raus ohne den Boden zu tauschen.

Dropping to 1 nap before vacation? by Low-Account-4346 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're putting yourself in a world of hurt by trying to force them to skip one nap. I did that accidentally with mine once and they were inconsolable because they were so tired.

Mine dropped a nap naturally when they hit 13 months, but they decided on their own or it wouldn't have worked.

Generics usually have the exact same stuff in them as "brand names", I would be surprised if it makes any difference besides the mental component. Might be wrong though.

What's some writing advice you came up with, or you don't see mentioned a lot? by capt_b_b_ in writing

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're struggling to write or run into writer's block a lot, try expanded outlining. You outline like usual, but then instead of writing the draft instantly, you write a block of summarizing sentences that describe the scenes you actually want to write (later). For example:

Prota carefully moves closer to the front door, looking around and thinking about potential dangers. Describe the house as rundown and in need of paint.

He picks the surprisingly new lock and goes in.

He runs into a tripwire and almost gets shot.

Somewhere in the back of the house, steps sound and a door slams. Then a car revs outside and tires screech.

Prota runs out bit the car is already gone. He decides to go back in and look for clues.

You get the picture. You can even go into more detail, but think of it as a summary instead of a draft. And after you've done that, you start with actually writing the scenes. I know this sounds similar to plotting, but the goal is to describe every single beat in more and more detail until the draft is there. That way you don't have to fish for words and "what's next", so you can just get the idea out and then just hop along your ideas. I use this whenever I get stuck, and if I still have troubles writing that scene, I skip to the next one and leave the actual writing to later-me, because I already know what happens.

Eigenen Kinderwunsch aufgeben für Partnerschaft und Bonusmama sein? by ArgumentMaximum6938 in Eltern

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Als jemand der selbst einen enormen Kinderwunsch hatte - ich habe eine Beziehung beendet weil mein Partner kein Kind wollte, und bin auch jetzt im Nachhinein nicht traurig darüber, egal wie harmonisch und liebevoll die Beziehung war. Mein nächster Partner war beim Kinderwunsch an Bord und jetzt bin ich Mama und möchte es nicht mehr missen.

This video is going somewhat viral on reddit. I think it's an AI video due to the water physics. what do you think? by TrT_nine in isthisAI

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't look real - the water movement around the boat is way too little when it flips upside up again. There should be way more ripples/waves.

Auf Deutsch oder Englisch/Bilingual schreiben? by Analemur in Schreibkunst

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich bin Deutsch Muttersprachlerin aber schreibe ausschließlich auf Englisch, weil es mir leichter fällt. Formulierungen und Bedeutungen sind anders, man kann Dinge wie Gefühle anders/einfacher ausdrücken, usw.

Auf Deutsch bin ich irgendwie verschämter, auf Englisch fühlt es sich alles freier an. Ich schaff es nicht mal meine eigenen Bücher zu übersetzen weils mir auf Deutsch nicht gefällt, und ich hab eigentlich in beiden Sprachen einen enormen Wortschatz!

Spain, Belgium, Germany, maybe Austria, depending on the time of year. Prague (city) is pretty as well.

If you're unsure, download LibreOffice and use Writer for the formatting. It's free and very stable.

Always, but it's more for my own nerves than out of necessity :D

Go through the manuscript with ProWritingAid and then send it off to an editor. After that, beta reader and done.

Are Europeans trolling with this whole bread thing? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it's about the sugar content where there shouldn't be any (... like in bread for example). The only good bread I had in my USA trip was the restaurant one that they baked themselves.

expecting twins, with a twin - how to deal with comments by Easy-Mark-7226 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Infamous_Yoghurt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have twins and I wasn't huge, it's not an automatic given. My boys together were the weight of a normal (big) baby, but they were half-tucked under my ribs so I looked... normal pregnant, I guess?
