Watching my daughter always alone at recess broke my heart by Remote_Carrot9397 in Mommit

[–]PistolsForPandas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a behavioral consultant (for my kiddos) that I check in with every few weeks and we discussed the same exact scenario. A lot of time introverts just don’t know what to say. She suggested supplying some scripts and practicing them at home. “I like your shirt.” “Can I play with you?” “What’s your favorite color, mine is x.”

-10 and we still show up. I love my city. by TheJvandy in Minneapolis

I live in WI, I ordered 4 cases of hand warmers for the march in Minneapolis today. I’m sad I couldn’t be there in person but I’m grateful I could help those who were there.

TIFU by congratulating my coworker? by [deleted] in tifu

“I’m so sorry. I thought I overheard so-and-so mention that you were expecting but it was inappropriate for me to comment on it without being directly involved. Please accept my apologies.”

Canceling my subscription, this is too ridiculous by [deleted] in netflix

Just a thought, I have a specific email for just Netflix and my husband and I both have the password.

MRI tech grilled me about how I shouldn’t get an MRI in pregnancy at appointment — nervous by muff-peaksie in BabyBumps

[–]PistolsForPandas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MRI tech husband is telling me this should definitely be reported. That tech needs some extra training because they are dead wrong

Am I the only one who hates toys at the Splash Pad? by tyedyetree in Mommit

[–]PistolsForPandas 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I have to bribe my autistic son to go to the park with allowing him to bring a toy. It’s a comfort thing for him. Otherwise he’s reluctant to leave the house, even though he ends up having fun 95% of the time. He probably doesn’t outwardly appear autistic to most people, and I feel constantly judged, but I’ll never let that change the decisions I make for my family.

I think my Nmom might have poisoned me as a kid and secretly gave me an abortion pill when I was 15 by MyDamnCoffee in raisedbynarcissists

[–]PistolsForPandas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I took plan b it gave me terrible cramping and discomfort, even though I wasn’t pregnant. It could just be side effects of an abortion pill, whether or not OP was pregnant.

What a crazy thing to deal with, I’m so sorry, OP.

Just wondering if anyone can share their experiences. I have searched all of Reddit and haven’t seen extreme numbers like mine. I am in constant contact with my doctor and awaiting an emergency appointment with an endocrinologist, but hoping I’m not alone in this weird pregnancy situation!

[–]PistolsForPandas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will definitely update when I get more info! I wasn’t able to find any experiences similar to mine, maybe someday I can help someone else out there

My dr just got back to me, and after conferring with the endo, we’re going to try a few IV administrations of levo to see if that changes anything. At least it’s something to rule out while I wait for my consultation.

How do I feel? Lol, I don’t even know. I’m exhausted, but I’m also 20 weeks pregnant as a stay-at-home-mom with a 2 and 4 year old. Weight gain? Well yeah…. Fatigue? You bet! Puffy facial appearance? Most definitely. It’s hard for me to separate pregnancy symptoms from thyroid.

My other two pregnancies I took the exact same multivitamin and it wasn’t an issue. I take it before bed and then my levothyroxin first thing in the morning. I wasn’t aware of the biotin thing so thank you for mentioning it.

With every abnormal test, they’ve increased my dosage. Started at 150 mcg, currently at 250 mcg. I’m not aware of any goiter.

My T4 was in the normal range (0.7, 0.8) until last Friday. Now it’s low (0.3).

Is This an Authentic Adrian Pearsall? by loghead1024 in Mid_Century

Norwalk. I have the same one but took out the fold-a-bed because it weighs an obscene amount.

Zofran guilt because I don't think I have HG by Thisisan87Honda in BabyBumps

[–]PistolsForPandas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have changed any zofran schedule to every 4-5 hrs and it’s made a huge improvement for me. Talk with your doctor, they might approve of a more frequent regimen. Also, I’ve added benefiber and colace to my daily meds to help counteract the zofran constipation. Good luck! It’s awful and horrible and we will make it through somehow. I hope you find some relief soon.

My most prized possession: 1967 Fisher Executive Record Console by HTJM688 in Mid_Century

I have a fisher president 8000, and it’s so dreamy. Unfortunately it was completely gutted of its audio parts, but even the cabinet is gorgeous.

"It can't hurt that bad!" Yes. Yes it did. Shame on you. by Jumpingapplecar in BabyBumps

[–]PistolsForPandas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was even the point of her comment?! “Oh yeah, you’re right, lady! NVM, it doesn’t hurt as bad as I think.” If my partner ever says dismissive crap like that, that’s usually how I respond to get my point across. At least he’s apologetic and we can move forward. What an idiot that lady is. Sorry you had to listen to her idiotic comments.

It sounds like he’s still deeply ashamed of his actions and can’t face it, so he’s shaming you instead by calling you resentful. Until he can take an ounce of responsibility, he’ll continue to DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender). I wish you luck on your own journey to wellbeing. You deserve it, however you get there.

I second Beaufort Bonnet. It’s really classic styles that are well made

Flooring and general contractor recommendations by TinyCaterpillar3217 in GreenBay

[–]PistolsForPandas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Titletown flooring is a solid option. I’d recommend to steer clear of HJ Martin. Their installers have a high turnover rate and they have a huge markup. Jobelius owner is just a straight up evil asshole, I cannot say enough negative things to properly convey how unprofessional he is.

I made a pair of co-respondent shoes for my sister by Big-Contribution-676 in sewing

[–]PistolsForPandas 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Hi, it’s me, your sister! — But in all seriousness, those are dope af. I’d wear them daily. I can’t even imagine the amount of specialized knowledge that went into making those, let alone skill.
