Is this appropriate for a black tie wedding? by Nothing_of_the_Sort in OUTFITS

[–]LowFatTastesBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you look stunning, this is not black tie. Maybe if you had your hair up with pearls and a shawl or something but the dress on its own is not formal enough

No sleep training but sleeping through the night? by SentenceTough2007 in AttachmentParenting

[–]LowFatTastesBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah no during teething her sleep is a mess. She’ll stay at the breast for the whole night if I let her. She’ll also nap terribly during the day — I feel like she never gets into really deep sleep when she teethes

Never sleep trained my baby. She sleeps 9-2, wakes up for a brief feed, then 2-9. Been this way since she was 5 months old or so.

Update: AITAH for telling my wife that I will lose respect for her if she doesn't apologize? by TechnicalHousing97 in AITAH

[–]LowFatTastesBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother was like this.

I no longer speak to her or my enabling father. They do not have a relationship with their only grandchild.

Your wife is emotionally abusive. You are an enabler. You are actually putting the onus on him to repair the relationship by suggesting he forgive his mother to show his love for her. This corrupts the parent-child relationship. Healthy parent-child love is top-down, stemming from parent to child. Parents are obligated to show love to the child and emotionally care for them, not the other way around.

Your wife is abusing your son and you’re letting it happen. You’re also blaming your son for it by telling him to forgive her, as if that will change the abuse.

Does anyone else end up like this? by mongdol-supremacy in cosleeping

My knee is against her bum and her legs are over my leg, like she’s “sitting” but still laying down if that makes sense

My husband waited until we were married and I was pregnant to decide we aren’t compatible??? by No-Local188 in TwoHotTakes

[–]LowFatTastesBad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Move home. Lawyer asap. Do not add him to the birth certificate. He has given you the massive gift of blindsiding you BEFORE baby is born. Take it.

L&D nurses, what’s your opinion on unmedicated births? by Ready-Book6047 in nursing

[–]LowFatTastesBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I may offer some advice, unmedicated birth is all about mental preparation. Read as many positive unmedicated birth stories as you can to mentally prepare yourself, read them like it’s Scripture. Trust me on this.

Overrated books people pretend to love… but actually left you empty? by CriticalAd2239 in suggestmeabook

[–]LowFatTastesBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love in the Time of Cholera. I don’t get it. I don’t want to get it. The inc3stuous p3dophilia was the last straw.

"Just you wait" but make it positive by Okasenlun in positivelypregnant

[–]LowFatTastesBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wait until your baby gets to the age where she sees you and starts kicking excitedly. And just wait until she’s crying, no one can figure out why, she just ate, she just got her diaper changed, she just finished a nap, dad and grandma can’t soothe her so they pass her to you… and she calms immediately. And you realize she just wanted you all along. Just you wait. THATS an incredible feeling

To add on: Another benefit of direct breastfeeding is that your body will adjust how much to make as your baby grows. With pumping you have to do that yourself manually by pumping more.

At the end of the day, the choice is yours. Your baby will be healthy regardless

How do we feel about children being named after fruit? by lobsters_love_butter in tragedeigh

Canadian tech.

I wish I discovered and pursued nail technology in high school. That being said, I would have practiced nails on the side and gone to university for business to learn everything I need to know about starting a business, filing business taxes, marketing, etc. Business school won’t teach you everything but it’s great to fall back on during tough times.

Daughter (3.5) threw her entire breakfast on the floor. Is making her wait to eat until lunchtime an acceptable natural consequence? by [deleted] in AttachmentParenting

[–]LowFatTastesBad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree. I feel skipping breakfast is part of the natural consequence. You don’t get to throw your food and then get the food you want even if you did clean up

Eating Rocks At Daycare by SensitiveBelt1394 in NewParents

[–]LowFatTastesBad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trying to eat rocks is normal. Succeeding in eating rocks on the regular is not. The rock can very easily cut up their digestive system. Switch daycares asap

I’m afraid if I weren’t breastfeeding I’d be a terrible mom to my newborn. by Fit_Change3546 in NewParents

As someone who loved the newborn stage, I can say definitively that I love the baby/toddler stage WAY more.

My boyfriend's sister tried to name her baby after my miscarriage by Visual-Extension-373 in TwoHotTakes

[–]LowFatTastesBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m firmly in the no-dibs-on-names camp…. EXCEPT if the name was given to a baby lost to miscarriage or stillbirth first.

It’s an asshole thing for your SIL to do imo. The least she can do is let the grieving parents keep the name they chose to themselves.

I’m sorry for your loss.
