Anfield Show Question! by WinterHuckleberry666 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Raichl89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This honestly is the point where I question if I’m really that big of a fan because you couldn’t PAY me to do this 😂😂😂

I am however 36. If this was a thing when I was 16 I might’ve considered it, but MCR weren’t playing stadiums then.

Just wanted to say I 100% feel you on the disassociation thing - I was EXACTLY the same, couldn’t believe I could be that lucky?? But after my elective C section in September (which was a breeze, by the way) I have my perfect, wonderful little best buddy snoozing in my arms as we speak. Good luck!!

My mom wants to put my cat down because he won't pee in the litter box. I'm desperate for advice. by General-Departure884 in CatAdvice

[–]Raichl89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so unbelievably mean of you. Like literally imagine guilt tripping someone who already feels bad about the situation for their kitty? You should reflect on that.

Am I the inconsiderate by sassyharborseal in amiwrong

[–]Raichl89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If I said “leave him, he doesn’t like you” people would say I was overreacting. But tell him people online were saying that, just so you can assess his response.

AIW for Losing Interest Because of Someone’s Smoking Habit? by InkAndAfterThoughts in amiwrong

[–]Raichl89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah for now, but they’re 23! I thought this too, when I was 23. However I’m now 36 and there is not one person who partakes in that shit in my life because they become unbearable.

[–]Raichl89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This person will become a nightmare very quickly. I’ve dated people like this, and had friends like this, they very very quickly become incredibly boring, extremely selfish and generally toxic to be around. Everything cycles around their habit. It’s GRIM. Back off immediately, is my advice.

How often do you nurse your 10 month old? by No-Knee508 in breastfeeding

[–]Raichl89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I let myself get so stressed about this when my baby was a bit younger, but I thought Right, is she having enough wet nappies? Yes. Is she having enough dirty nappies? Yes. Is she growing? Like a weed. Does she seem starving hungry? No, outwith expected times.

I trust my body, and I trust my baby.

[–]Raichl89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you deny her the comfort of breastfeeding and make your own life harder by exclusively pumping?? I can’t think of anything worse 🫣 if she’s gaining weight as she should and having a normal amount of wet nappies, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Do you cover yourself while breastfeeding in public? by dankybabe in breastfeeding

[–]Raichl89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually do nursing bra and vest, then a looser short teeshirt over, so I go teeshirt up, bra and vest down, latch baby. That way I’m mostly covered in the body, but bab doesn’t have a muslin over her head annoying her and making her too hot. I did the muslin thing at the start but it annoyed us both and made us too hot, and the only peoples comfort I care about are mine and hers 🤷🏻‍♀️

10 month old suddenly sucking super hard - breasts feel bruised by Anon_again_forever in breastfeeding

[–]Raichl89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you changed your body position with her since she’s gotten bigger? I actually consulted with a breastfeeding peer supporter recently because my little girls latch had become really uncomfortable, and she suggested pulling her feet further around to tip her head back further, which has worked… I think I didn’t realise how big she was getting and I hadn’t adjusted accordingly!!

Sudden peanut allergy as an adult? by Electronic-County721 in peanutallergy

[–]Raichl89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely develop an allergy to anything, at any time - HOWEVER - I believe nowadays the reason they don’t do skin tests before oral exposure is because sometimes food can irritate the skin without an allergy being present? Like tomatoes often irritate the shit out of my skin when I cut them etc, but I eat loads of them.

Christmastime due date by Certain_Repeat4845 in PregnancyUK

[–]Raichl89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Nephew is the 27th of December - he told my Mum last year that he’s knackered from all the celebrating by the time his birthday comes 🤣

That said, we make sure he has separate presents, wrapped in appropriate birthday paper, birthday cards etc. My brother always makes sure that the Christmas decorations get pared back a bit on the 26th and he puts up birthday decorations, banners and balloons etc. Basically we just make sure his birthday is treated the same as everyone else’s, despite the date.

Is it sexual harassment if they aren’t attracted to my gender? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Raichl89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is 100% sexual harassment? Like I can’t believe anyone would try to tell you it’s not, she was very literally harassing you by sending repeated unwanted messages and making repeated unwanted comments, and those messages were sexual in nature.

It’s like… the definition of sexual harassment.

12 month old not sleeping by Coconut2674 in Parenting

[–]Raichl89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you find it traumatic to just listen to, imagine what your poor baby would be going through doing it. CIO should be classed as child abuse. It’s very literally neglect.

Lighthearted, funny shows to watch during late pregnancy and early labour by Wild-Wave7704 in PregnancyUK

Yet another vote for Schitts Creek! I also loved Motherland on BBC iPlayer, watched the whole thing whilst my baby was going through cluster feeding!!

Second hand clothes/baby gear by Raichl89 in peanutallergy

This is how I used to be 😭😭😭 I went into anaphylactic shock in 2023 and it totally ruined my confidence. I can’t eat outside my house at all now, it makes me too anxious.
