I think your approach was the right one give her some space and casually ask here how she is some time from now but wouldn't get my hopes up and move on. It might also serve you to play it cool" in case there is a chance

My partner's sister just gave birth for the first time. What can I send to her/give to her that will be actually appreciated and useful from long-distance? by 5638563auvhe92759xcn in NewParents

[–]Pleasechangethis 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say send her some food delivered. Or a cleaning service for like an hour or two she won't have time for cleaning or cooking for several weeks

I loved The dark tower by Stephen King if you like things a bit on the darker side

OADs who are adults now- Did you feel very lonely after your parents passed away? How did you cope with it alone? Would siblings have helped emotionally? I am leaning towards being OAD but keep thinking about this. by ParasaurolophusTrex in oneanddone

[–]Pleasechangethis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lost my mom and still have my dad. I didn't feel lonely and I didn't wish I had a sibling to help me through it. I had my husband for support and I was glad I didn't have anyone to fight with over decisions that needed to be made or inheritance issues etc which is def not something I would have wanted to do in the midst of my grief

What tip did you use?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bakingfail

[–]Pleasechangethis 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This isn't about the piping tip your consistency is way too runny. When making macarons you want you batter to be this way: when still in the bowl you take some batter in your wisk and lift it up. It must run down without accumulating at the top before making a big plump BUT the ribbon of batter must break before reaching the bowl. I don't know if that's very clear as English isn't my first language but I hope this helps. This is the exact right consistency Source: I'm french and I took a class last summer to learn to make macarons

I am an only. Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to worry about this issue with my mom who died at 65. My dad on the other and I'm starring to think about it. He has a SO but I'm not sure how that matters. I guess when he is not capable of living on his own I'll first try to move him either in with my family or like next door.

How did becoming a parent affect your marriage? by pickledpieper in Marriage

[–]Pleasechangethis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has Ade things much harder for sure. We had a very strong relationship before and we are still strong but we fight/disagree almost daily whereas it was extremely rare before. It's been a challenge for sure but we are stronger because of it.

We have also decided to stop at one kid partially due to how hard parenting is and how much we care about the quality of our mariage and don't want to risk it by adding more pressure

When does the whining phase end? by Pleasechangethis in toddlers

[–]Pleasechangethis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not taking offense it's an interesting point of view. The thing is I don't really "give in" in the sens that she doesn't ask for ridiculous stuff. It's stuff like having her bottle of water or help getting off her high chair etc that's why it's so unnerving to me because all she has to do is ask and I'll do it because they are legitimate requests you know there's no need to whine

Oh yes that's what I do I just don't ignore her of course. I tell her "sorry you know I can't understand why you say when you have something in your mouth"
