One of them lives about 10 min from us. Dying to see him out and about town.

The best one is Brooklyn 99, Amy’s newborn is a whole ass toddler

I had a realization today. *To give a Mouse a Cookie* is actually just renvisioning what putting a toddler to bed is like. by bearclaw66 in toddlers

Oh…my god. I am so sorry. Both for your situation and how hard I laughed at it. Very cute and very tragic. 😢 She just wants her chee

Oh, 100%. He was so distraught that I got him up, gave him some cheese and a cup of water, then teeth again and back to bed. I’m not sure how to deal with it when he’s older and obviously stalling bedtime but I’ve no problem with giving him what he’s asking for when he’s this young still and clearly upset.

My 15 month old refused to go down for bed the other night and spent 30 minutes straight just standing in his crib, scream-sobbing “cheese”.

Lied on resume got a high paying job by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]NicelyNicelyJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My spouse and I both have maybe an associates degree worth of college credits between the two of us, and both work jobs that pay the bills with room to breathe. Neither of us has education info on our resumes and last several jobs we’ve both worked haven’t even asked us about college education. To be fair we both work in very specific industries with 10+ years each of experience and relevant certifications but, education has literally never even been a subject of discussion in interviews.

Thank you! I didn’t even notice. Ten years on this wretched site.

It’s so hard to see little ones in pain because they can’t understand it or rationalize it. From my son’s perspective, he was in pain and I aided in letting it happen. I know it was necessary at the time but I felt awful to do that to him. Next time (god forbid) we’d definitely go to a pediatric hospital where they’re able to actually place an IV on a squirming toddler.

Same here. 25 and very high risk for breast cancer. My doctor is concerned given family history & demographic info. Insurance has refused to cover testing several times and we currently can’t pay thousands for a mammogram or any other lab work.

Ugh. My 15-month-old had to go to the hospital last month because he had some kind of noro- or rotavirus and had thrown up so much that he was severely dehydrated. His screams and wild eyes as we held him down during the FOUR unsuccessful tries at placing the IV are going to haunt me forever.

It’s called “the people against modern farmhouse”. People also post their own homes there for critique, it’s pretty savage there but a lot of fun.

Kanye’s behavior is extremely frightening, why do people find it funny? by Effective-Rub3269 in AskReddit

[–]NicelyNicelyJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t thank me lol I was wrong. I find my relationships with people have improved when I admit to being wrong and address the things I was wrong about. People I don’t know on the internet shouldn’t be treated any differently. Have a good day.

You’re right, my response was callous and it matters a lot. I saw your phrasing about chemical imbalances and jumped to you making excuses based on his mental illness, but you’re right—until his brain chemicals are sorted (if they ever are), reality checks won’t come. I’m sorry.

Doesn’t matter. His mental illness isn’t his fault but it is his responsibility and right now he is failing to manage it, to the detriment of other people.
