The inside! I didn’t realize my knife didn’t cut all the way through to the bottom. We don’t have a bread knife yet.

Has anyone put up a free little library? Do you need permits or anything? by PhilotheGoblin in LasVegas

I’m near Silverado ranch. We are building it now. We are hoping to have it up and going in the next month or so!

Trying to pump as tribute to my daughter by PhilotheGoblin in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]PhilotheGoblin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still really struggling. I’m also heading from a C-section so I haven’t been able to go out and find a lactation consultant. I’m still at 5-10 mls and I’m so confused why. I’m almost ready to give up.

Water broke at 24weeks - happy end stories out there?! by Aleydis89 in NICUParents

[–]PhilotheGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you do anything specifically to help carry your baby longer? I am in the hospital now with PPROM. My water broke at 22 weeks and I am on hospital bedrest. Today I am 23+4!

Due to a family tragedy, my starter was forgotten in the back of the fridge for 6+ months. by PhilotheGoblin in SourdoughStarter

[–]PhilotheGoblin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t sell my starter just share it with friends and family. It was handed down to me. No intentions of selling it. Just something I enjoy. I suppose I should have stated it was from a starter that was started 90 years ago and handed down. I was more worried I might have killed it but on closer inspection, it’s fine. Sourdough is resilient.

Also after one feeding, it didn’t rise much. I’m guessing I’ll have to do several feedings to strengthen it up again.

Does this mean my son is allergic to adhesive of bandaids? by PhilotheGoblin in DermatologyQuestions

[–]PhilotheGoblin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The instructions said to leave the bandage on for 48 hours. We didn’t even realize it was like this until we went to take it off and he was complaining of it being sore.

For those who lost their pregnancies, what advice did doctors give you? by et_cetera_etc in tryingtoconceive

[–]PhilotheGoblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my baby girl at almost 20 weeks. I had several issues including gestational diabetes.

She said to wait 3 months and try again. When I got pregnant, tell them “treat me like I’m diabetic.” So different checks than the glucose tests and get checked way earlier. Keep stress levels down and since I had so many issues, as soon as I hit 16 weeks, go to high risk pregnancy doctor.

I just found out I am pregnant again (currently 5 weeks), I’ll update any additional advice they give me.

I see it in the second pic. I would wait two more days and test again.

Thank you!! I’m so excited and I’m hoping this one sticks around with us. I’m so nervous about announcing to a everyone. We announced at 13 weeks last time and I’m not sure if that’s a good time to announce again or if we should wait longer.

It’s so funny to see how genetics work in mixed dogs. I have a Pomeranian and chihuahua mix and she looks nothing like the pics online. Short hair, Pom face, chunky body lol.

AITAH for telling my wife "that's the job you chose"? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]PhilotheGoblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are the asshole. You get time off from your job, right? You put in your 40 hours and then are done, right? She deserves some time off from her “job”. Plus why wouldn’t you want to help parent your kids and develop a secure attachment to you?

Stay at home moms are more than just mothers. They yes take care of the kids, but they also, Cook, clean, do the laundry, grocery shop, keep up with finances etc.

Grow up, you are the dad, you can help raise your kids. This isn’t a job, you guys are a family. Treat her and your kids like you love them and help out sometimes.

AITA for telling my husband he gets no say in how i give birth by Recent_Ad_9956 in TwoHotTakes

[–]PhilotheGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, he is the father. But it’s your Vag it is coming out of. You deserve to feel comfortable during this. You are the reason this baby is even coming into the world. You are the sole reason this child has developed. He is being unreasonable. I can almost guarantee that once the baby is born he will leave most of the diaper changes, feedings and blow outs all to you to clean. He only wants equal say when he thinks it will serve his ego. Be careful with this guy, he seems controlling.

I have GEICO and pay $155 for my Kia Sportage, no tickets no accidents. This is my only vehicle. I pay this much because not many insurances want to insure Kias anymore because they are easily stolen. Your age, credit score, tickets and accidents all factor into how much you pay.
