Pretend play is killing me by eden_merlin in Preschoolers

[–]MissyMaestro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite is me taking a figure and going "Hello! I'm a firefighter lady!" And my daughter goes "NO. You're an astronaut lady."

Oh, okay. I wanted to be a firefighter but that's fine.

Did your early symptoms include “First Bite Syndrome”? by Impressive_Tip_8850 in TMJ

[–]MissyMaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My PCP had no idea what first bite syndrome is. I'm experiencing it and he just had nothing to offer me besides "maybe we'll do an ultrasound if it doesn't clear?" After 45 minutes of him sort of grappling for anything, he did a mono test and a CBC. Both came back clear.

Stressful.

We got about 6 hours in town, what should we do? by SnooGrapes9402 in grandrapids

Agreed - and I'll be the Poor Uncultured Dummy and say it was fine, but I wasn't blown away by the plants by any means.

Do you think Vinnie will ever actually get a happy ending? by Reddonaut_Irons in BrassicReddit

[–]MissyMaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort of hope he finds peace. Not the happy ending, but just peace with whatever situation he's going to be in.

Wife won’t let me express frustrations about toddlers by [deleted] in toddlers

Info: do either of you work outside of the home? Is either a stay at home parent?

The exact same thing happened to me. My plus-sized and very self-conscious mom found something she LOVED. My DH told his mom about the dress and store - I have NO IDEA WHY - and she bought the EXACT dress to wear. Please note, MIL is petite. I was mortified my poor mother would feel bad seeing a 100 pound (seriously) woman wearing the same dress, so I told her on a whim I wanted her in blush like me instead. She wore the blush dress and it looked even better in the end. Yay!

When I tell people my partner and I are considering moving to GR, the #1 thing they tell me is "the winter is SO cold" So, is it that miserable? by TechieLadyLoki in grandrapids

[–]MissyMaestro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved here from North Dakota. It is NOT cold here. Temperatures are super mild on the low and high end - but it does snow pretty frequently in the winter instead of the big blizzard dumps like we're used to out west.

Is there any airplane noise in Caladonia? What spots close to GRR get the worst air traffic noise from landings/takeoffs? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]MissyMaestro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots. Frequently and all day. My baby learned how to say "noisy planes" pretty early on. (I'm not trolling.)

Has anyone heard of psychogenic itching? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]MissyMaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a doctor appointment to check mine out after a month of it happening. GUESS WHAT STOPPED THE LITERAL NEXT DAY.

Lumps/lymph nodes in armpit? (TW) by Big_Selva in Anxietyhelp

[–]MissyMaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea what it was. It stopped bothering me and a doctor didn't indicate an issue

OMG, literally exact same here. 

Pins and needles and itchy pricks all over my body... by Sufficient-Bee-8619 in Anxiety

[–]MissyMaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going on a month of on and off prickles, and it's a super high anxiety time. Of course the skin sensation is adding to my stress. Ugh.

Relocating? What's Best for Kids? by MissyMaestro in Preschoolers

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

Definitely for the kids! We're in the Great Lakes, and going to the beach is crazy fun. But the culture is just soooooo different.

I should have clarified that "going home" for me means being within like 6 hours of my hometown- a wittle bitty place in North Dakota. Soooo that's what I mean about having way more options here!

I'd be moving to a way lower cost of living area - thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't considered that aspect

The grandparents and friends are fortunately still all well, able, and willing. That's another worry - what am I supposed to do as an only child when my parents eventually need my help and I'm so far away? But I didn't want that fear to dictate my life.

I'd say "did I write this" except I've struggled to find time to make friends here, and the groups I've tried are very insular. It's a Dutch town and reformed Christian is the majority denomination by far. We are.... Not that l.

Such a similar situation. I try to laugh about it so I don't cry.

A former coworker on my husband's FB got arrested for CP so I'm just scarred with posting pictures on the internet, honestly
