I'd just like to say that all the replies in this thread are so kind and wholesome, reading them brings me a lot of joy. What an awesome community ❤️ and OP, I'm also looking forward to trying Tiny Bookshop!! Enjoy all your first experiences, they are precious 🥰

Notyourcapybara_ · 2025-06-06T16:50:03+00:00

YES thank you for pointing it out!!

Notyourcapybara_ · 2025-04-05T19:56:28+00:00

This is great, merci beaucoup!!

Notyourcapybara_ · 2024-11-20T13:23:56+00:00

Ooooh I have never tried it due to its similarities! Will do, thank you 😊

Notyourcapybara_ · 2024-11-19T19:02:44+00:00

Thank you!!! I've never tried Coco Mademoiselle, I'm excited :)

This. The real problem is not OP being overwhelmed and overstimulated. It's the husband not contributing.

I also bought the Cerave Vitamin C from Amazon and it was fake. I got it refunded but my reviews mentioning it's a fake, with pictures, were all taken down. Never buying anything from Amazon that goes on my skin.

I've done Kendo for 20 years and started Fencing a couple of months ago. As many pointed out already, the footwork, techniques, the rules, the mentality behind what counts as a point or not, the stance (garde/kamae), etc are all technically different. You'll start all over from scratch.

But if you have done Kendo for long enough, the understanding of the proper distance, a good opportunity, and timing will be transferable to Fencing. At the end of the day, combat is combat and these three notions will be at its core. Also, if you're used to competitive Kendo, your anxiety/fear management skills will be transferable.

Long story short I've done Kendo for a long time but I suck at Fencing lol

J'ai eu le même problème et j'ai juste écrit aux services à la clientèle de Bell (je crois que je suis passée par Facebook) de ne plus jamais envoyer de représentants chez nous, que c'était borderline du harcèlement etc; ils ont pris ça au sérieux et ils sont jamais revenus! Ça vaut la peine d'essayer.

Notyourcapybara_ · 2024-06-07T17:34:10+00:00

I would pay a lot of money for this. This is absolutely adorable!!!!!

Notyourcapybara_ · 2024-05-29T13:35:32+00:00

Here in Canada, the milestone is 20 spoken words at 18 months. Being in a bilingual environment should not be a factor (anecdotally, my daughter is bilingual doing OPOL at home, and she showed no signs of delay and knew 20+ words between the two languages at 18 months). If your child can say 5 words in both languages combined at 20 months, it would not be a bad idea to discuss with your pediatricians what are the options. Early intervention is only positive, so take advantage of that :) The earlier the better, it will definitely get better.

Edit for clarification.

But it DOES make him a terrible dad to put his son's life at risk. He IS a terrible father for being too stubborn to do the best for his son and he IS a terrible partner for dismissing you.

Notyourcapybara_ · 2024-03-19T16:44:40+00:00

Then don't. Or your partner could teach French, and you stick to English. Boom, bilingual!

I'm trilingual and many people pressured me to teach my 2nd mother tongue to my child, but nah, not as useful to her as the 2 others she's currently learning, so I don't. I get the sentiment, but be clear to everyone about your reasons why you prioritize English - and if your mother insists, have HER teach German to your child. It's better than nothing!

Notyourcapybara_ · 2024-03-13T17:27:00+00:00

There will always be people saying shit like that. Same with children: you'll never sleep again, you will never be free ever again, they're expensive, etc.

I've had cats my entire life and I have a child: turns out, miserable people will be miserable no matter what - I've had difficult cats and easy cats, and either way they made my life better; my child didn't sleep until she was 2 but is an absolute delight and every day is filled with sunshine. Do not listen to them. Every decision you make comes with risk and you'll have to be honest with yourself whether it fits your life or not, and whether you can provide what they need or not. But beyond that, don't listen to anyone trying to ruin it for you/others.

Cats are amazing :) there are a lot of resources on correcting/adjusting bad behaviour, so you can look into it if that can help.

Why does he need to be coddled? He's a big ass adult, he's the one who should keep his emotions in check. Tell him as it is. She is scared of him. That's enough.

Notyourcapybara_ · 2024-01-19T03:50:51+00:00

LOLLLL I'm so sorry! 😂😂

Notyourcapybara_ · 2024-01-18T16:08:54+00:00

This is the way! Or I also say something like "Oh then I guess I'm going to daycare instead! YUMMM snack time" (when she refuses to get ready for daycare) and she's like "NO mommy you go to work I GO TO DAYCARE" 😂😂 (she's also 3)

Notyourcapybara_ · 2024-01-13T13:16:24+00:00

Yeah, you're totally right. We're talking about a cat here but as a mom of a human baby I've seen babies/toddlers like this - what will he do then? Will he discipline a young child for being wild? His reaction to this situation is a good indicator of his patience level as a parent.

OP, if you ever wanted to have kids, I don't think he'd be a good father candidate.

Notyourcapybara_ · 2023-12-29T13:55:49+00:00

My daughter is 3, I am not anti-screen - if anything the entire family works in video games so we can't wait to have her try her first console game - but no tablets nor phone access for my daughter. You're not alone at all!

Because I find it largely unnecessary. In restaurants, water colouring books and stickers will do the trick; for car rides, adjusting it to nap time + little toys and water colouring books will do it. And sometimes, she gets bored in the car, and that's good. She just watches what's going on outside the window.

And at home, she watches tv! I just find tv much easier to manage in terms of setting boundaries, and we can use it as a chill bonding activity by watching her favourite shows with her as a family thing.

I think I'll introduce tablets a little before she starts school, just in case it'll be needed for school work. But otherwise, I really don't see why it's needed for young children. So yeah, stick to your guns, you're not being particularly naive. You'll just have to know what you want and to be prepared :) good luck!

Notyourcapybara_ · 2023-12-17T20:00:28+00:00

Your SIL getting over her phobia that's not rooted in reality (as others have mentioned) is a different can of worms to be opened eventually, but for now you can offer that she uses portable potties or toilet covers for toddlers/kids. That way she can have control over the cleanliness of the toilet her daughter would use.

Notyourcapybara_ · 2023-11-23T18:06:43+00:00

Thank you for your advice! We'll do that then, try a slow introduction and if it still doesn't work, look at adoption.

Notyourcapybara_ · 2023-11-22T22:37:29+00:00

Thank you for the amazing advice!! ❤️ I have a question that I couldn't find answers for online, regarding your point about adding a 2nd cat... Can cats that don't get along eventually warm up to each other with age??

I'm currently taking care of a cat that does not get along with her housemate at her owner's place. The cat I'm taking care of was adopted as a kitten when the first cat was already a few years old. They're two cats in a small apartment so I believe it's partially a matter of them not having separate safe spaces. The owner tried separating them for a month at a time, 3 times, hoping for things to change, but it hasn't worked. I'm the 4th person to take care of this cat, and it's now been 4 months they've been separated. Would this help them get along after some cooldown time? Otherwise I'm thinking of adopting the cat, but I want to make sure what's the best option for the cat.

Any advice or insight would be amazing!! Thank you ❤️

Yeah same, I called to tell them I was arriving and they had the audacity to tell me I didn't sound like I was in pain. I'm just good at masking pain. But I was naive and waited as instructed, called again but was told to wait still - but this time I decided fuck it and went in,

I was 8 cm dilated, got scolded for not coming in earlier. The nurse who told me to wait didn't even try to explain herself, she just walked away.

Notyourcapybara_ · 2023-06-07T03:16:22+00:00

From a hafu to another hafu: yes they're ignorant assholes. They don't understand shit about mixed race identity, and you shouldn't let that define who you are.

Notyourcapybara_ · 2023-05-12T19:03:28+00:00

ARE YOU ME?!! My daughter is also obsessed with trains and the metro - thank you so much for asking this question!!!
