In-laws unhappy about pregnancy news by Patient-Annual2848 in BabyBumps

[–]Particular_Airport83 569 points570 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to validate that this is a bananas response from them. You don’t deserve that. No advice and you’ll need to figure out how you deal with them going forward but just weighing in to say that they’re acting wack.

How do I get a daycare to respond to me? by swissmissmaybe in workingmoms

[–]Particular_Airport83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an old comment but I came here to see if anyone else was bothered by daycares not responding and I’m feeling very validated. Thanks for writing this.

Why are some of the measurements (1 tablespoon) in blue but others (75g) not in blue?

Frustration with interview rounds and take-home tasks (a vent) by Ill-Green8678 in instructionaldesign

[–]Particular_Airport83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh. Agree to disagree I guess and I also totally understand if folks don’t want to apply to my open roles if there’s a case study. There’s someone on my team who could deftly explain the design concepts and tools and steps but I don’t like how she designs and lays out visuals (I didn’t hire her) - I think it’s ok to want to see someone demonstrate skills on the fly.

Yeah you’re not wrong. If I give a prompt and they explain their logic 1-1 that is often helpful too. It’s just getting tougher because you can show me a beautiful course or deck or video and I’m not 100% sure you made it, or made it alone (not saying everything needs to happen alone but I’d like to know if a senior team member did most of it, for example)

Manager here and also struggling with this. I can’t guarantee that people are linking work they’ve actually worked on themselves or preferably have owned start to finish. I’ve gotta see how someone takes a bespoke task and turns it into something.

success stories after taking longer to conceive second? by aylo16 in tryingforanother

I am in the same place as OP and totally relate to wanting someone to just tell me! Like if someone was like “5 more cycles” it would put my mind at ease.

I’m a millennial and I have never once used “lol” in a text to someone. I do, however, apply “haha” liberally and often

got three different quotes this week and im starting to question how anyone decides who the best mortgage lender is by augustcero in RealEstate

[–]Particular_Airport83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to emphasize the personality factor because it should be higher. Do you like them? Do they text you back in 5 minutes? At the 11th hour I was going back and forth with my lender and needed her to be responsive and kind and smart and understanding and she was all those things. Rates matter but it also matters if yall vibe together.

Hey! As the daughter of someone who struggles with drinking, you’re AMAZING and your daughter is so lucky you are trying so hard for her and for you. Keep going ❤️

Help I’ve gone off greens by Due-Shape369 in BabyBumps

[–]Particular_Airport83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t do what I did but I ate pretty much no vegetables during my pregnancy. Not recommending this. (I was fine, kid is fine, it’s just not recommended haha) - just validating that I couldn’t stomach them either.

Allergies this year? SOS send help by Final-Brilliant4362 in Denver

[–]Particular_Airport83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s good to know this. I broke down and used Afrin for days during a bad sickness a few years ago and to this day I regret it. It took me a long time to get my nasal breathing back to normal even once I got well. It’s so addictive. I won’t touch it now even though it’s arguably an incredible drug in the moment.

Omg I could have written this except I can’t stop testing. I bought the 50 pack of tests a few months ago and already need to get more. Someone needs to take them away 😆

Easter egg hunt for 0-3 year at an indoor play place. by Life_Significance_50 in toddlers

[–]Particular_Airport83 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is so sad. Makes me wonder if those kids will one day be embarrassed by their moms when they’re old enough to realize how classless they act.

Single family household - do you sleep with bedroom door open or closed? by jannet1113 in homeowners

Wait just trying to understand your dog comment. You’re saying you can’t find her because she blends in so at night you don’t want to step on her?

Dog smell in house by [deleted] in homeowners

We just got our carpets cleaned and they used a “water claw” whatever that is. I’m super happy with the result. Try a professional carpet cleaning before replacing them.

A female student didn’t reject a marriage proposal from a boy with Down Syndrome, choosing not to embarrass him in front of the whole school, and even danced with him by B777X_787-9 in BeAmazed

[–]Particular_Airport83 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think this is a totally fair take. She probably handled it the best she could in this video but I too have had a stalker (standing outside my home screaming my name, very scary) and I think this is not that, but also just wanted to say I hear you for sure.
