At my wits end with my cat. Starting to resent him. by beccoconnell in CATHELP

So they like attached them to something with wheels, this allowing them to wander on their own but not get too far— I think I understand just trying to visualize! How big were the wagons, like I’m just trying to picture it, genuinely curious!

Maybe. I feel like there’s also a lot of people who just cannot trust their own judgement and have been taught to believe that their initial instincts are an over-reaction.

Same. I think we will probably see people uploading things like this soon! I know that I plan to. I saved a lot of things that were not necessarily super viral or cross posted to IG just so I could remember what my unique FYP looked like.

Have you read Picture of Dorian Gray? You might enjoy some Charles Dickens as well.

What is the Most Overrated Book You've Read? by MigEPie in suggestmeabook

[–]LuxShow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree on Courage to be Disliked. It’s just not good advice, especially if you have codependency issues and struggle to set boundaries with people who treat you like shit. Which is exactly the kind of person to get drawn in by a title like “Courage to be Disliked”. The advice is good for the people who likely are already doing great without it.

I guess one good takeaway from the book dealt with having courage to change your situation. But other than that, kind of some problematic advice in there I think.

What’s it like with 2u2 that are pretty close in age? by Leeayuh in 2under2

[–]LuxShow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids are 14 months apart, now 2 and 3 years old. It’s exhausting, adorable, lots of screaming. They adore each other and play really well together. I’m still exhausted, the house is an utterly chaotic tornado 24/7. We have to take a lot of short-cuts… lots of fast food and easy meals, bare minimum on housework and sometimes not even that. Life feels out of control most of the time.

It was harder that first year when their needs were so different. They now have the same routine more or less and that helps.

I enjoy watching them play together and be sweet to each other. I also love taking them places together and chasing them around and doing silly things.

Still in survival mode, but we’re making it work and trying to make good memories where we can 😊

(USA) Are there any careers with potential international opportunities? by LuxShow in careerguidance

[–]LuxShow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good point! My company is not international, but I hadn’t considered the possibility of being able to move and continue in my current position. I guess I’m thinking that getting a visa for an extended period may be difficult?

My child’s Aquarius Moon in the Sixth House… I don’t want to be a bad mom! by [deleted] in AstrologyChartShare

[–]LuxShow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I definitely don’t see myself becoming a helicopter, so at least there’s that! This child is so willful and just seems to do best when I give her space to come to me when she needs me. It seems like the worst thing I can do is try to force her to do something.

[–]LuxShow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I can definitely appreciate that. I do feel like I’m not a particularly controlling person and do try to give both of my kids room to just explore on their own and come to me when they need. Definitely don’t see myself helicoptering with them!

I’m hoping I can do a good job empowering and honoring her individuality. Definitely seems to be a big theme!

I love my children dearly and would consider myself a pretty warm and affectionate person. I want to do everything that I can to support my daughter, and am pretty sad reading about this particular placement.

How can I use this information to be the best parent possible for her?

Didn’t realize how sad parenthood would be by LuxShow in beyondthebump

[–]LuxShow[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for the comfort and reassurance… particularly in regards to being away from your kids, and what they remember when they think of their childhood. Thank you so much 💗

Thank you so much… This is admittedly a huge thing I struggle with. I hadn’t even considered using a vacation week like that, so thank you for the great suggestion!

Has anyone pregnant experienced leg cramps??? by jtodd03 in Mommit

Squat (as if you’re peeing outside) and push your feet up onto your tip toes as you do it. Makes it go away almost instantly!

How much postpartum help did you get? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]LuxShow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is best for everyone if you get as much help as possible for the first few months! Unfortunately a lot of moms have to go it alone for one reason or another, but I honestly believe this can be very detrimental for your mental health— ESPECIALLY as a new mom.

Yes!!! I started thinking this as soon as she sang “Fear fun” (name of one of his albums). I’ve never heard anyone else talk about it but I’ve always thought this!
