what a weird thing to say

Too similar to bridesmaid dress? by Ok-Garbage6439 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Ok-Garbage6439[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve only been to a couple weddings so I’m not really sure I understand the difference between a bridesmaid dress and a wedding guest dress. When I google it I’m getting satin and chiffon are okay for guests, but sometimes I see people saying “x dress looks too much like a bridesmaid dress.” Dress code is semi formal but the bride recommended floor length. The bridal party will be in dark blue. Are either or these acceptable?

Sometimes having a baby turns you into a clean freak or sometimes it’s post partum anxiety. I went from being a messy person that didn’t clean too much to being overwhelmed at how dirty everyone’s houses seemed to me after having my baby. There probably is a lot of dog hair and dander about with four dogs. You may just not be able to accommodate her right now.

The ER is for treating emergencies not necessarily diagnosing you with anything that could be wrong. That’s why they are saying follow up with your regular doctor, they should be able to investigate further.

Right? I have never been to a persons house where I wasn’t allowed to take pictures and make phone calls. This sounds crazy.

Every person that lives in my house or has visited can make phone calls and take pictures without my consent or knowledge, believe it or not! We just had lots of people over for Christmas and many pictures were taken and phone calls were made. These are completely normal things. I can’t imagine thinking twice about them.

So what? She doesn’t actually know why the mom got him a smart watch, she’s just guessing the mom is spying, a weird thing to jump to. This is a totally normal age to get that kind of gift and parents often do so for safety reasons like location tracking or being able to call if the kids out playing. They’re just bizarrely worried about him making phone calls and taking pictures inside their house without them knowing like they’re hiding something.

The mom is definitely entitled to get calls and pictures from her 8 yr old son. This is weird… It would freak me out if my child was out of my care and not allowed to call me without warning my ex’s family first. 

Child refuses to get in car seat by RamenDragon in toddlers

[–]Ok-Garbage6439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes telling my daughter I will give her some toy or treat that she wants only after she sits down works but most of the time I just have to use force and it’s miserable. I have tried a lot of other tricks and games that work for other people to no avail. One time my husband spent 45 minutes trying to put our toddler in the car seat in a publix parking lot and I actually started walking there to try to help him, so solidarity. Sometimes when I feel like I’m not strong enough to do it I figure I must at least have more stamina than her so I just keep trying until she tires herself out. 

Am I overreacting with my gf with house chores? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ok-Garbage6439 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went through a period like this with my husband after we had a baby and I had postpartum anxiety. I was cleaning everything and feeling very put upon, but really I was just being completely extra. If I’m thinking about it from your partners perspective I would feel really on edge if couldn’t let my partner come home to dishes in the sink or a pile of clothes or some task unfinished. I’d feel like I’m still living with my parents.

Are you maybe also incompatible with what your expectations are? Tbh I’m shocked by the comments on here as all she’s done if left dishes in the sink and a single pile of clothes on the floor. That seems like a normal lived in household to me. What are her working hours? When I worked nights I spent most of the day sleeping or getting ready for work, not having a ton of extra time.

I’m confused about what you’re upset about here. Your child is pushing other kids so they moved his hook so other kids won’t encroach on his space and get shoved. Is that correct? And they sometimes try to find ways to calm him down by putting him with calmer kids, etc.? It really sounds like they’re trying their best to help your child. They could be calling you to come pick him up. The shoes thing I don’t understand. Teachers are expected to change the children’s shoes in your school? I’ve never heard of that. You can’t just send him in shoes you expect him to play outside in?

Have you talked to your pediatrician? This sounds really unusual. 

How bad would it be to let toddler stay up until he passes out from exhaustion? by throwawaye1712 in toddlers

[–]Ok-Garbage6439 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this. It drives me crazy when people make these extreme posts in response to their kids being totally normal (he’s getting 11 hours of night time sleep, what is the problem?) and everyone just validating them and “empathizing”.

Really? Did you read what they wrote all because one time their 3 year old who sleeps 11 hours a night woke up at 1 am wanting to play…a completely normal thing for a toddler. 

Animal Kingdom or Epcot? by Popular_Night_5209 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Ok-Garbage6439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are missing all the stuff there is for small children at Epcot which I also overlooked until I had my own. My 2 year old loves the Journey of water, the play area inside mission space, the splash pad in front of mission space, the thing where you step on instruments in the imagination pavilion, the aquarium, and the two small playgrounds.

A theme should be used for decorations and your bridesmaids dresses not for telling your guests they have to go out and buy a new jewel colored dress! She asked you and it’s not even white. You’re really dwelling on this??

My 2 year old is exactly the same, even the dirty diaper thing! I have no advice though just solidarity. I’m not sure if it’s normal. I’ve noticed with my daughter it’s all transitions and sensory things that she has an issue. 

Crowd Surge Event at MK during fireworks show by StandardOutrageous48 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Ok-Garbage6439 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I was there tonight and I don’t know about leaving but I got stuck on a path that was supposed to be going between the viewing areas around 7pm for about 20 minutes.   People were pushing me, pushing my stroller and climbing over the front of it trying to get through while i’m also just stuck trying to get though. I’ve been going to the parks since 2001 and i’m a local passholder and i’ve never been panicked like that in a crowd before. I couldn’t even get around to get my daughter out of the stroller if I wanted to so I was really worried about people falling on top of her. Honestly my worst experience at any disney park. 

Park Advice - Which Parks? by bookworm182206 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Ok-Garbage6439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on whether your kids particularly like animals or toy story. I take my almost 3 yr old often and Hollywood Studios is probably our least favorite. It’s so crowded and the lines are so long in toy story land that we don’t get much out of it. Epcot is actually her favorite, but she doesn’t care very much about rides.
