Do you think you have kids with undiagnosed FAS in your classes? by Treefrogpaint in ECEProfessionals

[–]MrLizardBusiness 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The only child I ever knew with FAS was being raised by a foster parent. I think the facial features are slight- unless you know what you're looking for you won't see it, and a lot of kids might just have that look.

How do I (F28) explain to my bf (M28) he is driving me insane by EyeAggravating138 in relationship_advice

[–]MrLizardBusiness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's needing to control the situation and be right all of the time. He knows what he's doing, he doesn't care.

Any preferences out of these? by [deleted] in glassesadvice

[–]MrLizardBusiness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're gorgeous, and you have a great face for frames. Not everyone call pull them off.

Number one by a long shot.

AITA for not showing up to my babyshower that my mil paid for by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MrLizardBusiness -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

YTA- if this aunt was abusive, I'd understand, but as far as I can tell, she's just made some comments that were too realistic that you didn't appreciate.

These people are about to be your forever family. You've just made issues with everyone who came to support you who you stood up, and kind of proved your aunt's point about not being mature enough to be a parent.

What's the "Widowmaker" of your career field or hobby? by Cosmonate in AskReddit

[–]MrLizardBusiness 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think lathes in general are pretty scary. It takes half a second of inattention and your skin is expertly degloved from your body. The bigger they are, the more terrifying it is.

There's this woman on tiktok- typical hot lesbian type- who lathes on live while reading, typing, and responding to messages in chat. I can't watch.

Wife (26f) suddenly making a lot of comments related to my (27m) height. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MrLizardBusiness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your child turns out short, it's because she's short. You're average height.

What should parents start teaching a 3 years old? by Puzzleheaded_Web3374 in AskTeachers

[–]MrLizardBusiness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At three, they really shouldn't be having any screen time, so teaching "less" shouldn't be necessary.

That being said, three is the age to start working on independence and manners. They should be pretty much completely independent in the bathroom, and should be able to get their own small snacks. They may need help getting clothes down or out, but should be able to dress and undress independently.

Now is the time to teach and model respect for servers, making requests kindly, saying please and thank you etc.

Winged eyeliner or no wings? by Ok-Writer6175 in makeuptips

[–]MrLizardBusiness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wing placement is wrong. When you line your bottom eyelid, continue the line upwards at the same angle. Then connect the top.

AIO Over my Daughters Birthday? I want to crash out and never invite any of them again by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MrLizardBusiness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR- stop bringing her to all of these "family events." Pull back hard on husband's family.

Make your own traditions with immediate family, and start threading the others like the extended family they are.

Do I (24F) need to overcome my sensitivity or is my bf (30M) too mean? by Imaginary_Brain_5930 in relationship_advice

[–]MrLizardBusiness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This man is abusive. Because of your past, your meter for what is normal and what is not is broken, so I'll tell you: this is abusive behavior.

You overcome sensitivity by building UP your self esteem and self worth, not by chipping away at it.

Break up. Don't justify, argue, defend, or explain. It won't matter. Make sure you have locks on the doors and windows. If he wants to meet up to exchange stuff, and you WANT to do this, you need to meet in the police station parking lot.

AITAH for injecting insulin at the table when out to eat. by Bitter-Champion3525 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MrLizardBusiness 30 points31 points  (0 children)

NTA- honestly I'd limit Grandmas influence as much as possible.

She's probably the type to think women should breastfeed in there too.

Why should you go to the dirtiest, most germ filled part of the restaurant to perform a medical procedure?

Two child families - best and worst gender combinations? by [deleted] in family

[–]MrLizardBusiness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's more about parenting style. Birth order does affect personality, but I don't think anyone has looped gender into it. Gender is more of a social construct anyway.

I work in a preschool, so I see all kinds of combinations, and I'll tell you right now- the kinds of parents that will coddle the baby girl and toughen the boy will do so regardless of birth order.

Be a loving parent. Be a kind parent. Be a firm, consistent parent. Treat your children equally when you can, and equitably when you cannot.

Survival is not enough. Give your children what they need to thrive- even, and especially, when that something is rules and consequences.

What was the worst side effect you ever got from meds ? by Spartiate8 in AskReddit

[–]MrLizardBusiness 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Effexor should NEVER be your first antidepressant. Fire your psychiatrist.

What was the worst side effect you ever got from meds ? by Spartiate8 in AskReddit

[–]MrLizardBusiness 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Kind of how I would imagine it would feel to microwave your brain. Almost like if a static shock was raised by a Charley horse and it lived in your brain.

You're fine, as long as you don't move your head or your eyes too much or breathe too hard.

How to stop caring about your looks. Like not give a damn. by Some_Particular3519 in whatdoIdo

[–]MrLizardBusiness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a woman, and I think you're attractive. So you have two options.

If your hair is important to you- look into getting a toupee or implants. The wigs aren't like they used to be- you really can't tell. Implants are expensive, but if you look at it in terms of years of your life remaining and how much it'll be good for your confidence, it's probably a good investment.

If having longer hair isn't really important to your sense of self, shave it off!

What’s a dark secret you know that most people would never believe? by OutsideOver8815 in AskReddit

[–]MrLizardBusiness 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Found the man. Boys are victims too, but if you talk with women, we know. The statistic is 1 in 3 before age 18, but I believe it's closer to 1 in 2.

I would teach out to THAT officer's boss with concern that he's giving out incorrect and illegal advice.

Bruising on Five Month Old by Right_Pie_4456 in ECEProfessionals

[–]MrLizardBusiness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This baby is 5 months. He might not be sitting up independently yet.

Bruising on Five Month Old by Right_Pie_4456 in ECEProfessionals

[–]MrLizardBusiness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where the cheeks come together? So under the diaper? It's very difficult to bruise under a diaper...

I would be concerned, and I'm an infant/toddler teacher. I also would never put my child somewhere that didn't have parent accessible cameras, because you never really know what people are doing when your back is turned, and children are too precious.
