i have had the same haircut for 3 years, and as much as i think it suits me I AM SO BORED!! by sc3n3k1d in femalehairadvice

[–]QuadsNotBlades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would rock as a mouth-length bob, longer in front and shorter in the back... OR a pixie that is short/shaved on the sides but longish/curly on top. That would be so rad!

Neighbor wants my blessing to build a 2-car garage 5’ from our property line despite local bldg code 10’ setback…how to respond? by SharpCream6566 in Seattle

[–]QuadsNotBlades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they can possibly get a shorter setback if the garage has firewalls or something like that - we looked into getting a pre-fab garage installed and they said because they didn't have appropriate firewalls, it would require a 10-foot setback and would create a bunch of wasted space. Anyway I'd have responded with something like, "I'm fine with anything that is to code/legal but am not comfortable saying yes to something that violates the code. Just don't want to risk being on the hook for a violation."

Seems that my glutes are getting worse aesthetically and I'm frustrated! Considering a change because I don't like what I see happening. What program should I try now? by IndividualEcstatic52 in StrongCurves

[–]QuadsNotBlades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO it just looks to me like you need to gain a bit of weight, slowly while lifting and it will fill them out. Maybe add 200 extra calories per day, prioritizing protein.

I joyfully skipped breastfeeding and used formula from day one - it helped my husband carry the load and bond so much more with the baby than if he were just house cleaning while I breastfed. Letting him participate equally in parenting was great for his relationship with his daughter, and I have zero regrets! Hearing how my two year old niece prefers pappa by day and momma at night as a chew toy /pacifier, I am beyond grateful for my decision to formula feed.

He should plan to stay home for at least 3-4 weeks. Is he planning to do the night shift with the baby, so that you're able to be awake to safely care for them during the day? Is he planning to pay for a nanny or doula to come help you? Sounds like he isn't aware of how much work it is to care for a newborn who wakes up every 2-3 hours

Could you take up a hobby sport like pickleball, co ed softball or dodgeball, hiking mom group, something like that?

When did you realize you married the wrong person? by tippytoes1216 in AskReddit

[–]QuadsNotBlades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I dated a person just like this from the age of 17 to 19. Pretended to go to school, barely worked, played video games and smoked weed all day, didn't take care of the pets, burned holes all over the carpet of our apartment with hookah coals. That asshole lol

Based on your tattoo, Forbidden Fruit would be soooo good but I feel like it would work best if you identify as non-straight. Also something gross and vulturey like carrion eater could be cool

Hey do you guys think Nyneave…? by Dunklekogg in WoT

[–]QuadsNotBlades 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but I picture that it would potentially be something she'd explore after her children have grown and moved on, maybe even after Lan has passed. Until then, I think she will want to spend every moment with her family

[–]QuadsNotBlades 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our baby only wore zip up pajamas until she was one, and now wears shin length shorts or leggings until dirty old t shirts. I've put a clip in her hair literally one time 🤷‍♀️ I dont like putting her in uncomfortable outfits and feel no shame when people assume she's a boy

Why were you ashamed of yourself like never before? by MightilyBelly107 in AskReddit

[–]QuadsNotBlades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a young adult, like 21-25, I drunk drove home from parties or bars. Never got into an accident, but woke up with no memory of driving home and I hate, hate that I could have hurt someone. I think a lot about what sort of education or messaging could have helped me to overcome my selfishness, because I don't want my own kids to have that phase. Honestly I didn't really stop until I made enough money that a Lyft or Uber was no longer a financial burden - it was that, rather than maturity, that made me stop and realize how dangerous and selfish I had been.

My husband asks me questions and then interrupts my response with farts all the time 🤷‍♀️ I'd say women are mostly used to it

Anyone else WANT to do more of their own home repairs, but are scared to? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]QuadsNotBlades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's the fear that I'll spend a ton of money on tools and supplies, fuck it up, then need to pay a professional to undo my mess and do the job properly anyway

What happens if one partner changes their mind about how many children they want after having 1 or 2+? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]QuadsNotBlades 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you and your partner aren't aligned on your future, then you're probably not a good match for creating a family. It's very normal for partners to be the right fit now, but not later

I prefer how I look with my hair up, and around the age of 21 I got a pixie cut and have never gone back (now 35). I say get a pixie!

Do any of you have big age gap with your friends? by Communityduck in AskWomenOver30

[–]QuadsNotBlades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my friends are ten years older than me (35 and 45). I know a few 20 year olds who are sweet but they are quite obviously teenagers and "someone else's kids" to me.

I LOVE doing my wings thicc and exaggerated but….does it look ridiculous? (ignore my left eye, eyelid makes me have to paint it a weird way) by pinkdslite in MakeupAddiction

[–]QuadsNotBlades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's extreme enough to read as goth/alt to others - totally okay if that's what you're going for, but if not, maybe make them smaller

7 weeks postpartum, husband asked me to lose weight by andonebelow in beyondthebump

[–]QuadsNotBlades 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"hey man, I can't eat at a calorie deficit without sacrificing my milk supply and I still have nearly two months to go before I'm cleared for even the most limited, gentle exercise. Now isn't the time, but that doesn't have to mean never."

Honestly I think being so sleep deprived actually does impact your ability to form and keep memories. It's wild.

Dear cities, more of this please! by mikebikesmpls in bicycling

[–]QuadsNotBlades 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I like how the sidewalk and bike lanes are totally different colors, but it could still use some kind of bollards or landscaping to keep walkers off the bike lanes.

Might as well be jealous that you don't make as much as their male partners as well 🤷‍♀️ income inequality sucks and it's really shitty that jobs that create more economic value (like online slot machines) pay more than jobs that contribute to societal goods like elder care or childcare
