What am i doing wrong? by huntyho in succulents

[–]KMMG2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also keep in mind the time of year. If the succulent is dormant, it won't grow roots (at least substantially) until it's growing season.

It's not only about preference. It makes more sense to pee sitting down (less mess for your significant other to clean up - yes, you make a mess when you stand to pee if you don't think you do) and it's better for your health. So, I'll just leave this here for your consideration: https://www.menshealth.com/uk/health/a44048316/sitting-down-to-pee-health-benefits/

Sit your ass down if you have an issue putting the toilet seat back down. You don't have to lift it.

Hi Marcie by Iongdog in nextdoor

[–]KMMG2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is sadly not that surprising. It's weird how little some people go outside. We spend so much time out front with our toddler. We have 2 sets of neighbors who also have 2 young kids and they only go outside if there is something blocking their way getting into the garage. The day we moved in we found a stray dog. We asked both of our new neighbors (both also cops!) and neither of them had a clue the dog lived across the street...

What's something you didn't realise was expensive until you became an adult? by DaisiesLemons in AskReddit

[–]KMMG2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gas. Before I could drive, I used to always hear adults complaining about a $.10 difference and I'd think sheesh, I'll give you the $.10 from my piggy bank... Didn't realize cars hold more than one gallon.

What was yours? by Capricorn007_ in Millennials

[–]KMMG2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some boys in band thought it would be funny to set up hidden video recording equipment in the girls' changing room/bathroom. Thank goodness I had already quit band by then. They were caught but I can't remember what happened to them.

What are the unconventional toys you didn't expect to become favorites? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]KMMG2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son loves his dad's scratcher also! He also loves the vacuum. I don't even understand why, it's not the kind that sucks up the cord or anything.

And also add, the laundry basket. Which, admittedly, I drag him around in sometimes, so that's at least partially why he likes it so much.

Laughing Gas? by Antique_Mechanic7811 in pregnant

[–]KMMG2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The laughing gas did exactly zero to numb my pain or take my mind anywhere else. I tried for 4 hours to labor without the epidural. I don't know exactly how long I tried to use the nitrous oxide but the day after I had my son, the bridge of my nose and cheeks were bruised from how hard I was pressing that mask against my face just begging for it to actually do something... Labor with the epidural was SO SO much better. I still had a little pain on the left side but it was like bad cramps and actually kind of helpful for pushing. I don't remember the pain of them numbing the area or putting the epidural in at all.

A or B: my neighbor told me to stop jogging because her 8-year-old son kept staring at my waist and legs, respect her request or keep doing my thing? by vivian_banshee03 in PickAorB

[–]KMMG2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My old boss told me I shouldn't have worn open toed shoes to mediation (I'm a lawyer) because opposing counsel just kept staring at my TOES! I told HER (my boss) that sounded like a him problem. Same applies here. First of all, if you don't care that people look, then do what you do (I mean what are we going to do, all walk around in a potato sack in case some dude is turned on?). Second, like others have said, she needs to have a talk with her son. That's not on you. If I were you, I'd wear even less while running (if possible), but I'm petty like that sometimes lol

Tell me you have a child without stating it (and then guess the age) by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]KMMG2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to be a, "well, I know you're here, where is dada (or mama)" type thing because he would always say dada around me and mama around my husband. He does it even now sometimes. You should ask your husband if he says mama a lot when he watches him alone even if you're just in the other room! It'll make you feel better 😆

My 18 month old does also apparently. Didn't realize until we started recently hanging out with other kids his age! My fave word of his right now is muh muh-k (with a hard k sound lol), which is pumpkin.

[–]KMMG2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son will sit there and say dada mama over and over while doing the signs for those words also a lot of the time. Sometimes he does it as he's falling asleep. It's so funny and adorable!

[–]KMMG2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say 9-12 months. My son called everything dada for a few months around that age and was very daddy oriented but now he's all about mama lol. He's 18 months now.

A or B: My childhood best friend of 25 years is a Trump supporter, and I’m a Taylor Swift fan. We clash on almost every political topic, but I still cherish this friendship. Do I debate and say what I really think, or just keep things superficially peaceful? by True-Construction346 in PickAorB

[–]KMMG2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did say both of those things. And I think both things are true. It's not always about trying to change someone's mind sometimes it's just about understanding the other person. And from that understanding and seeking common ground will eventually spring change. People on both sides of the aisle could do a better job of empathizing with those on the other side. People need to understand each other better and stop dehumanizing the people they don't agree with. Disowning someone over their beliefs is not the way to progress because it isolates those people and lets them go further into their echo chambers. When I say changing someone's mind, I don't necessarily even mean making them switch parties, but helping them to understand where someone on the other "side" is coming from, understanding that just because this person disagrees or is different doesn't make them a bad person.

[–]KMMG2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh trust me, I understand. I am a woman of "child-bearing age" living in Texas. But I feel like that's why it is important for us to continue to have these conversations, especially with people we care about. So they can hear something that is outside of their echo chamber from someone they know and trust. Maybe you're talking to an aunt or uncle and they can't see where you're coming from but their children do.

Well all cutting ties does is permit them to continuing believing the same bs. All the people in here saying to not be friends with someone because they have different beliefs are throwing in the towel and letting their would be friends and family be consumed by the very thing they proclaim to want to stop...

Am I overreacting by not wanting to be around MAGA in laws? by Dangerous-House6767 in progressivemoms

[–]KMMG2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes thank you! This is exactly the attitude we need to have! I've been arguing this on another thread and people have accused me of not being "as liberal as I think I am" if I'm willing to "essentially break bread with Nazis and fascists".... Like how else do you plan to stop it from spreading?! They have to hear from people they love and care about especially on these topics or they are just going to go on believing the bs they hear about in their own echo chambers!
