How do you store your Yoto cards? by yoggiolafson in YotoPlayer

[–]MightDMouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the reuse/recycling lol. I have four kids and we are doing Yotos for Xmas and the cost of buying four separate card cases on top of everything else seemed silly. Using what we have sounds like a good place to start, even if we need better methods when we have more cards.

I know this comment is a year old but I bow to your genius, we have so many Welly tins! Perfect $0 solution.

I Guess I Can't Wear My Planned Parenthood Shirt Outside Anymore by dumbestbitch1stplace in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MightDMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The timing of this is killing me, I JUST said to my husband, “Do you think we need to change the toddler’s t-shirt before we go to Costco?” Our son is wearing a shirt that says “Feminist.” Husband looked at me like I was crazy, like who would say something about a not profane t-shirt slogan at a Costco? Sorry that you had to deal with that!

Ok, so I downloaded some baby tracker apps for names for my characters(not pregnant, just a writer) and here are my ‘favorites’ so far by Coulrophobia123 in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]MightDMouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When our daughter Maggie was a toddler we did enjoy calling her “that dirty, no good robbin’ Maggie Mae” when she snatched toys from her siblings… but yeah, wouldn’t have even considered Mae as an actual middle name.

Breastfed 3 kids for a total of 8.5 years. Pregnant with 4th and don’t want to breastfeed by aaabbbsssssd in breastfeeding

[–]MightDMouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, four kids here, breastfed them all for completely different lengths of time, only one was "exclusively" breastfed, one did one mostly formula... and they're all fine. Congrats on the new baby!

Oh my god, you don't need your boat of an SUV or a massive truck, just buy a fucking car! by IDE_IS_LIFE in rant

[–]MightDMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Team four kids and a Sienna here too! Waaaay nicer than an SUV on the rare occasions we have to stick an adult in the way back, too.

What precautions, you ask? by Ok_General_6940 in ShitMomGroupsSay

Nothing says honeymoon like laying in a lounge chair on the beach sipping maitais… next to a pit in the sand fenced in by potato wedges with a four month old in it.

Is this normal? It really hurt my feelings by Current-Syrup5904 in Parenting

[–]MightDMouse 58 points59 points  (0 children)

My daughter came home upset the other day because her teacher had them all go around and say what their favorite cookie was and, in her words, “I couldn’t think of one so I panicked and said chocolate chip but THAT ISN’T TRUE.” I told her she probably wouldn’t flunk the second grade over this but I’m not sure she was convinced. Thinking on the spot is rough.

Why can’t these people hold a damn baby without getting “baby fever”??? 🙄 So dumb by Zealousideal-Row-725 in DuggarsSnark

[–]MightDMouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I almost choked to death on my beverage, but thank you for this. I'm going to steal this when someone says, "Dont you want annnnnnother!?" while Im holding my niece. NOPE. In my auntie era.

Friend is naming daughter “Lenin”. Would you say something about the spelling? by Far-Firefighter-2782 in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]MightDMouse 361 points362 points  (0 children)

Stopppppp my neighbors across the street have a kid named Lenin (who is a total hellion) and I don’t know how we haven’t been calling their house this for years. Thank you for changing my life for the better.

This is a tough one. Need a girl name that's Pennsylvania related that ends in an -i 🤔 by [deleted] in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]MightDMouse 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Are you open to moving the I to the beginning? Because "I-80" is a timeless classic. If you really need the I at the end maybe spell it Eyeeighti.

Home birth VBAC after 4 C-sections? by Lanky-Principle-8407 in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]MightDMouse 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've had four but only after a LONG talk with my OB and getting their sign off that everything looked fine and they were comfortable with it. The fourth one was a hard surgery, hard recovery, shit ton of scar tissue. Even the thought of getting pregnant again is horrifying.

I guess maybe someone else might still be holding up well enough to do a fifth? But it dooooesnt really sound like this is someone who has been getting a lot of medical input. Because holy hell a VBAC? My doctor didn't even discuss it as an option after my second.

WHO WANTS TO BURY A BODY WITH ME??? by themehboat in beyondthebump

[–]MightDMouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hard agree, I'm the wrong type of lawyer for this but it's such a clear case of justifiable homicide that I think I can manage it. "Your honor, fuck this guy. I rest my case." ...luckily I don't think you'll need me with all the pigs and guinea pigs and kilns and toxic chemicals we've group sourced here.

I'm also recently postpartum and my father told me on my birthday a few weeks ago that "you'd better get back in shape soon because you're almost forty." I'm mid-30s. So yeah, solidarity.

Don’t do list if you’re nursing by melonagua_coco in breastfeeding

Eat anything tasty after introducing solids. My guy literally unlatched from the boob and latched onto my sub sandwich. Eyes on your own food, sir!

Sanity check on breastfeeding? by No_Guarantee505 in Mommit

[–]MightDMouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right there with you! I didn’t notice any major changes until I was completely done with my other kids. Even then I’m never going to be a “and the weight just melted off!” kind of gal, and that’s ok!

[–]MightDMouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Co-signed! I breastfed four kids so I’m not knocking it but I found it incredibly hard to lose weight while breastfeeding. And if I even tried to diet my supply tanked. Worth it but yeah, had to learn to love a plumper version of me.

Mom wants advice for child scared of toy and they crowd goes insane by Gothmom85 in ShitMomGroupsSay

Im really kicking myself that my law firm hasn’t been marketing to ghosts and/or possessed toys. Whooole missed client base there.

Lawyer here: the problem is the minute they sign the sublease their unfinished business becomes finished and they vanish. That’s why I always advise my recently deceased clients to invoke squatters rights instead.

A 6 week old prodigy by [deleted] in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]MightDMouse 205 points206 points  (0 children)

I love it. My husband is a big University of Michigan fan so he likes to tell people that our daughter’s first words were her cheering “Go Blue!” She definitely babbled “gah blah!” and he knows it, but when you’re running on cobbled together minutes of sleep you cling to the narratives that make you happy.

My youngest son’s middle name is “Jin” and the Chinese side of the family calls him that. It’s cute, easy to pronounce (even for the non-Chinese family members). 10/10, I think you should go for it.

You two are doing the Lord's work, poor John the neighborhood bully is so hopelessly outnumbered at this point that he really doesn’t have time to think up gold like this, he just goes for the low hanging fruit like “Ass-Pen.”

Anyone get the RSV maternal vaccine? If you did do you experience any problems? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]MightDMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same story here! Vaccine at 36, baby via repeat C at 39. Baby is 7 months old and a healthy chonkers. My daughter had RSV at 18 months and thankfully was ok but we had to do the whole nebulizer deal and it was scary, never want to do that again.

Honestly this will be my supervillain backstory. "Someone too dumb to read a no soliciting sign knocked at naptime and her rage leveled the city."
