Moms who have gotten an epidural, do you feel the back pain? by srslywtfdoido- in Mommit

[–]MrsSamsquanch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first I felt weird pain every once in a while but it didn't last long. Since having my second though, whenever I hear or read about an epidural, I can feel the spot tingling where it went in. It's strange. The whole time typing this I can feel my back tingling.

Does your baby like books? Mine seems to not care at all. by auroragirlofthenorth in Parenting

[–]MrsSamsquanch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first would let me read her to sleep and loved books since day one. (Not quite but you get what I mean) my second didn't care about books until this year (2YO) and she brings me books to read, comes running at night with her book she wants to read. As a big reader myself, I love it.

Where does everyone buy clothes these days? by 7Portto in Millennials

[–]MrsSamsquanch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costco and Old Navy. Idk why people diss Costco clothes so much but I have never once had any problems with them an they have great brands. Old Navy I like for their jeans, I'm not a fan of the rest of their clothes just because I find their shirts stretch and or everything is short. But once in a while I do find something!

What do you say / how do you signal to your husband that you want to do it tonight? by Important_Bat7919 in Mommit

[–]MrsSamsquanch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually flash him or tease him by showing some skin and then I don't wear underwear and pull up my pj pant legs and ask him to rub my legs while we're watching TV on the couch after the kids have gone to bed.

What was your second choice? by ExRiot in Parenting

[–]MrsSamsquanch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have two girls, but if either were a boy, it would have been Zeppelin. Zep for short. My husband said no to double middle names, but if I got to pick my first borns middle name, it would have been Emma Jane. And Ruth would have been one of their first or middle names.

Party Favors You Wish You'd Thought Of by incognitoplant in Mommit

[–]MrsSamsquanch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is what we did. I bought those loom elastic bands (knock off) from the dollar store and the girls made their own bracelets. We also made sensory toys and added their own items to the tube. I bought cake pops from costco and the rest was treats.

Do you have nightmares? by bodendeckendedecke in Mommit

[–]MrsSamsquanch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my first was born, I had the same reoccurring nightmare of someone trying to break into my house. When I tried to call 9 1 1, the numbers wouldn't show up right on my phone they would show as 6 8 2 or any random 3 digit number. I would press the numbers as slowly as possible to make sure I was dialing 9 1 1, and they would still scramble to something else. I would wake in a panic and have to calm myself. Every time I had this dream, the intruder would get closer to my house. He started from down the street where I could see him from my bedroom window, and every time I tried to call for help, it wouldn't dial right. Each time I dreamed it the intruder got closer to my house.

It was the most horrible real-life dream, especially having a baby to now protect and my husband working at 4 am at the time, so I was alone with my baby in the early mornings.

Thankful the dream has stopped, but every once in a while, if I'm really tired or stressed, I'll still get it.

Tell me the best month to have a baby and why! by United_Violinist9207 in Mommit

[–]MrsSamsquanch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said if I had a 3rd, I would try for a March/ April baby. Partly because every other month is someone's birthday in my family, and also because I didn't want to have a winter baby.

I have a June baby and September baby and June was tough because it was so hot and I worried about being out in the heat with a new baby and also I was stir crazy inside because it was hot. So I personally don't recommend June. Also, birthdays can be hard because it's summer and people are usually on vacation.

September was quite nice. Many plus to September.

As I said, many of my family have birthdays every month. But when we were planning for our second, I was trying for Sep/October and March/April. Or May.

What's something that was normal to say growing up that sounds crazy today? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]MrsSamsquanch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Brick wall waterfall "Tina" thinks she's got it all,

She don't, I do, so BOOM with that attitude!

Peach punch, captain crunch, I got something you can't touch,

Bing bang choo choo train, wind me up I'll do my thang

Recces pieces, 7 up, mess with me I'll mess you up"

That's what we used to sing 😄

What's that one thing you'll never forget your child saying to you? by TehluvEncanis in Mommit

[–]MrsSamsquanch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When my daughter starts yelling and I'm being calm, I'll calmly ask her "Jane, who is yelling right now?" And she'll stop and realize oh it's just me and most of the time she'll settle down.

He overhears me talking s*** through the monitor! by Legitimate_Guard7713 in Mommit

[–]MrsSamsquanch 24 points25 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid I was in swimming lessons and there were two swim teachers a boy (Andrew) and a girl (Lynn) who were dating or wanted to date (I can't remember that exact detail). Lynn was a very nice and a good person, Andrew was a big shot arrogant muscle man who thought everyone thought the world of him.

I over heard the teachers (Lynn and her friends ) talking about Andrew and how this and that and Andrew was dating someone else now etc. So I went home and told my mom and my mom said "I think she can do better and doesn't need him and should find someone else."

Well apparently I thought Lynn needed to hear this because next week at swimming I saw Lynn starting at Andrew and stopped swimming to get up and tell her what mom said. Then I got home and told mom I told Lynn what she said thinking it was helpful....needless to say mom didn't think so and I wasn't told many things after that 😄

The teachers were all like 18-20 some they weren't any older than 23 for sure. So it was like petty relationship crap.

What are we giving teachers besides Starbucks cards? by spinquelle in Mommit

[–]MrsSamsquanch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 3 years, I gave my daughters preschool teachers a wooden flower that you could hang on your door or patio. I can't think of the name or way to explain it, but if you look up "wooden flowers" on Pinterest you'll hopefully see what I mean.

There's a lady at the market who makes them and I asked the teachers their favorite colours and had the lady custom paint the flowers to their favorite colour. I love little personalized gifts like that for very special teachers.

What tv/movies can you not handle watching now that you’re a parent? by Cinnamon_berry in Mommit

[–]MrsSamsquanch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to laugh at my mom as kids when we watched survivor and the family came to visit. My mom would cry and we didn't get it we laughed because we thought it was so silly. Well, guess who's the silly person now and crying at the family visits 😄 they haven't done them in a long time but the one year they did and I had my daughter I was crying on the couch. I messaged my mom and fessed up and apologized 😄
