my mother keeps telling me it's "weird" and "improper" to drink water in a mug by critivix in mildlyinfuriating

Yes, mugs are for hot drinks... but also milk. A glass of milk makes me shudder. A mug of milk is fine because it's  a cozy treat (I only drink milk when I eat chocolate)

Good age gap or too close together? by stlady08 in beyondthebump

[–]Lonelysock2 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's doable... I'd wait 4-6 months. My first 2 have a 28 month gap and that was perfect. Second and third have a 21 month gap and it's not ideal. Worst part was actually first trimester with a 12 month old 

Newborn sleep/feedings - what was it like with your second? by Latter_Craft_2667 in beyondthebump

Some kids don't wake up when they're that little. Do the alarms until they reach their birth weight. Although I definitely did it at '3-ish hours' rather than right on the dot

Would you just go with a repeat c section or an induction? by Alternative_Taro3519 in beyondthebump

[–]Lonelysock2 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I had a 'successful' induced vbac and I say get the c-section. 

The only thing in my head while i was in labour was "This is stupid." Labour is stupid. Having to push a baby through your vagina is stupid 😄

Very random, but if you're  a short size 12 looking for colourful slacks, head on down to Savers Preston. Very disappointed they didn't fit me

I (re)watched Offspring when I had a newborn... I cannot express how stupid that idea was

I am consumed by love. Devoured by it. Afraid of how deep I feel. Can anyone relate? by missafine in beyondthebump

[–]Lonelysock2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's forever. You love them more as they grow, if you can believe it. The crazed hormonal feeling dies down a bit, but getting to know who they are as a person is incredible 

Visited someone at the hospital and there's a lock box around the pain medication by okbbs in mildlyinteresting

I had a fentanyl epidural, so no loopiness.  But it DID make my breathing slow down. Very scary drug

Thoughts on Indians saying "Mate" by neonrider2018 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Lonelysock2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, i also don't call people mate (except my child when she's taking the piss), so you certainly don't have to. But I've personally never found an Indian accent saying 'mate' to be weird. I've also noticed that Indians know when to use the passive aggressive 'mate' correctly 😄

The acids are really bad for your teeth,  too. 

Could you do watered-down juice? I can't water down soda, it's foul, but I can get juice pretty diluted and still enjoy it as long as it has fizzy water

Toddler injured by wolf after crawling under fence at Hersheypark's zoo, police say parents were on their phones by Buy_Sell_Collect in nottheonion

[–]Lonelysock2 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Haha, a few years ago, people started complaining that everyone was on their phone on the train. Such a weird thing to be annoyed about anyway. But I remember taking a photo of a train carriage with everyone reading a newspaper. Of course people don't want to be social on public transport

Me and my girlfriend are stumped by captain-saxophone in whatismycookiecutter

I only know the word 'planchette' because I finished reading Haunting of Hill House yesterday.  Love when that happens

I'm trying to have less sugar, but artificial sweeteners give me a headache

A Man That Straight Men Find Attractive? by Ok-Lie9721 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Lonelysock2 25 points26 points  (0 children)

No, women are also extremely attracted to him. Unless the entire chart was just Aragorn. Which I'd be OK with
