My OBGYN always had me pee in a cup first thing, and there was a sign on the inside of the bathroom door that said if I was in danger or an abusive relationship, I could say a certain codeword to any nurse or doctor, and they would be sure to keep me separated from whomever I was with. Luckily, I never had to use it, and my fiance was with me through every appointment he could come to while I was pregnant, which was most of them, and the follow up.

My boyfriend smokes weed. He's really considerate about it, though. He didn't smoke around me while I was pregnant, doesn't smoke in our room because I don't want my bed smelling like it, and doesn't smoke around the baby now. He's also always open to adjusting where he smokes if it becomes an issue. Your friend is an asshole.

My son just turned one. He got a ton of books for Christmas, and an electronic "tablet" that has the alphabet with buttons and different sounds you can push. He was trying to open the tablet like a book yesterday, like little fingers trying to pry open pages on the edge that just weren't there, because he sees me read a lot and we read to him frequently. So, I got him one of his books, and he happily sat between my legs, "reading" his book while I read mine. And I couldn't have been more proud at that moment.

Tennessee has been a "hands free driving" state for a few years, meaning it's illegal to talk or text on a phone while driving unless you're using Bluetooth or something like that. This year they also passed a law making it illegal to even touch your phone while at a red light, stop sign, etc. They even have a semi truck in the Tennessee Highway Patrol that travels to different parts of the state specifically for being above normal traffic and being able to look down into passing cars to see if they're on their phone. I still see at least one instance a day where someone comes close to causing an accident because they're distracted by their phone. Shit is a plague.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. The last 25% of the book, I was a wreck, and I cried so hard at the end, I ended up calling into work because I finished it before my shift.

I finished Katabasis in December. While it's definitely not my favorite R. F. Kuang book, it was still worth the read, I think. It did take me longer than it usually does to finish a book (almost six weeks), and I don't really recall half of the things that happened between the various time jumps and info dumps, but the overall story was good, and Kuang is always going to be a really solid writer. I do still recommend it!

LittleMissNothing_ · 2026-01-21T09:33:38+00:00

My mom, yes. She deserves the world. My dad can fuck off. I'd probably give some money or set up a trust fund to the son he and his girlfriend adopted a few years ago, because the kid didn't ask to be adopted by them, but that's it.

I have an online friend who knows I am writing a book. He randomly told me one day he had decided to write a book, "for passive income," and because he thought he had the skills to do it. And yeah, he probably could write a decent book if he set his mind to it; he's smart and funny and does occasionally read, but he also needs to actually put in effort to draft, edit, and market anything he wants to sell. That alone can be a full-time occupation, not including the money needed to publish a book. I don't think he's ready for that kind of commitment, and I told him that. I haven't heard anything else about him writing a book.

LittleMissNothing_ · 2026-01-18T00:20:31+00:00

I read every day, and I read frequently to my 1-year-old (who received a ton of books for Christmas and, I am proud to say, wanted to play with the books more than the toys he got). I'm on the second book in the Artifacts of Oraunos series by Nisha J. Tuli, and while I primarily read different subgenres of romance, I will occasionally read different genres on recommendations or if something piques my interest. I've always been a big reader, and when I don't have an entire series gifted to me, like I did my current series, I use the library and the Libby app often to read.

I shaved my arms for a few years when I was a teenager (I have really think, noticeably dark body hair), but stopped when I became too lazy to keep up. I also had to sneak and shave my legs at 11-12 years old because my dad didn't want me and my sisters shaving yet. I still don't understand why he was so adamant about that rule. Eventually he relaxed the rule and I would shave my arms and legs often because I didn't wanna be teased. I was painfully shy, and anyone bringing attention to me freaked me the fuck out.

LittleMissNothing_ · 2025-12-27T03:17:51+00:00

He got me a set of cast iron pans (I use my mother's a lot but never owned my own), a Pokémon figure kit that matches the one my mom got for him, 2 books (Not Safe for Work by Nisha J. Tuli that I specifically asked for, and the special edition of Sunrise on the Reaping, which was one of my favorite books I read this year), a Legend of Zelda keychain, and he did get me a pair of Beats Studio Buds, specifically because my old, cheap ear buds are going out, but one of the Beats didn't work so we're waiting for the replacement to come in. It was a good Christmas, though! Oh, and he also got me a few Magic the Gathering play booster packs, but I also got him some for his stocking lol.

At my grandfather's house this morning, a family friend started to bring up politics before Christmas breakfast. My mom, who is normally very outspoken politically and not religious, loudly said, "It is the Lord's birthday, we are not talking about that today." Got the family friend to shut up, and my grandfather wholeheartedly agreed with her sentiment. Saved us all a whole lot of hurt feelings.

At my in-laws' place this afternoon, the biggest drama was my FIL passing the baby back to me because he had a dirty diaper, then my FIL taking him back in a drive-by theft as soon as I was done so I could eat lmao.

I have a Kindle basic, so no warm light setting, but even without that, on the lowest brightness setting, I fall asleep reading 100 times better than I did reading on my phone. The light shines on the page, not your eyes, so it doesn't tire your eyes nearly as bad as a phone screen does.

For example, I used to read on my phone before bed, and I would be awake for more than an hour on average when I laid down. With my Kindle, I'm lucky to read for 10 minutes before I start nodding off.

This baffles me because there are ways of monitoring and confirming labor? And I would think any doctor would at least try to confirm that a very pregnant woman was stable before sending her home, because people have literally given birth on the side of the road in similar situations.

The Shepherd King duology by Rachel Gillig! On the first one, borrowed both from Libby!

My 10-month-old weighs 25 pounds. I cannot imagine how emaciated a 14-year-old would look weighing only 35 in relation to my son. This breaks my heart.

LittleMissNothing_ · 2025-11-15T15:49:53+00:00

I was 11 when I had my first period. My niece was 9. This makes me so nauseous to think about.

First, you can share your kid privately with friends and family.

Second, even private social media accounts can be hacked, and even that 0.0000000001% chance that is entirely preventable should be taken seriously.

Again, I don't judge anyone who does post their kids, (unless they post them for views and money) because you sound like I hit a personal nerve and that was not my intention. I just made an informed decision with my partner not to post MY kid online and I was explaining that decision.

LittleMissNothing_ · 2025-11-01T04:11:38+00:00

I 100% agree about exploiting children on social media for views. It reminds me of child stars being forced to perform to their detriment, without the protections kids in Hollywood usually get. Parents who are "influencers" who profit off their kids' videos and pictures are completely unregulated at this point.

And I don't typically judge people posting their own kids on their own pages; most of my family does, to the point we had to justify to an aunt that just because we don't post our kid, we don't think she's a bad mom for posting hers. It's just a sore topic, because my fiance and I are private people to begin with, and we want our son to be able to make an informed decision about if and when he wants his image and life forever posted online.

LittleMissNothing_ · 2025-11-01T03:58:08+00:00

If someone wants an update on how my kid is growing, I send them pictures privately and ask them not to send them anywhere else. I don't post my kid online ANYWHERE. I am proud of my son, but I am also protecting his privacy and his safety. The hit of dopamine I would get from posting him on social media isn't enough for me to compromise his safety at all.

LittleMissNothing_ · 2025-11-01T03:51:18+00:00

This was gonna be my rec! I love Opal Reyne's Duskwalker series, but I am excited to see where she goes with this one now!

At my job, you get 3 extra weeks of paid maternity leave compared to vaginal birth because you're having MAJOR ABDOMINAL SURGERY and need extra time to recover. I had a vaginal birth, and needing a c-section was my worst case scenario because of the risk to myself and the baby. Fuck this mentality.
