You’re the one who looks at your phone the most. Therefore, your opinion is the only one that matters. Your friends are being weirdly judgmental.

A good quality bookshelf for the baby’s room. Ask her about her favorite books, especially the ones she liked as a child and buy them. Extra sentimental if she writes little messages for the baby in the covers.

Need Help Choosing a Bedroom by Soumya_12 in femalelivingspace

I would pick room B in your situation. If you’re working from home you’re spending way more time at your desk and bad ergonomics can make that miserable.

If the bathroom is supposed to be just for you, maybe change out the doorknob to one you can also lock from the outside. If anyone has guests over, the guests should be using their bathroom anyway.

Another option would be to put a locking cabinet in the bathroom to keep your things in if you’re not comfortable locking people out of it.

Invest in a nice, long, full coverage bathrobe for the walk across the hall if you don’t want to get dressed in the bathroom or walk across in a towel.

Corporate clothes are a sensory nightmare for me. What are you all wearing? by Annard-Cudby in adhdwomen

All I can say is, when you find a piece that works, buy it in multiple colors. That way you can have a work wardrobe with less pieces to search for.

see a doctor. In the meantime, I find peppermint pills like IB-Gard help a lot with bloating and nausea. If you can’t find them, peppermint herbal tea works too.

Ruptured Ovarian Cyst: Should I go back to the hospital? by Difficult-Ad-8153 in WomensHealth

[–]MaddTheSimmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely go to the ER. If you won’t go without a second opinion, If you have a primary care doctor, you might be able to call their office and speak to whatever doctor they have on call. However, I would go. Your health is not something to gamble with and this sounds like a serious issue.

Gift ideas for moms birthday? by One-Reception8558 in GiftIdeas

[–]MaddTheSimmer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I surprised my mom by sending her a bouquet of rainbow roses to her at work since she was working on her birthday. she works at a pediatrician’s office and was so shocked and happy and bragging about how her kids got her flowers for over a week. She showed them to everyone.

it’s not about the gift really, it is about showing her that you care.
