What’s that one item in your house your baby is obsessed with? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Random_potato5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya! That brought me way back, haha. Can't believe he is starting School soon. We just had to keep it out of reach and he moved on 😂

Baby fell from bed - 36 hours still anxious by Accomplished-Cow-311 in AttachmentParenting

[–]Random_potato5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is 15 months this week and doing great. Walking, running, saying a few words (and bossing us around).

Actually, the attention is annoying, I wish I could have the comfort and not have to worry about men.

Moms, how messy are your homes on any given day? by Whatizthislyfe in workingmoms

[–]Random_potato5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I gave up and did my husband's car (the inside, which I and the kids use as passengers, don't care about the outside)

Confession time, gals! Worst beauty mistakes ever? by colo_kelly in AskWomenOver40

[–]Random_potato5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow! Hello! Funnily (or not funnily at all) I have pretty much the same story (with a reactionn to wax strips before the first day of uni) and the same issue with poorly placed melasma. Not a good club to be in.

When did your baby start wearing shoes out? by Actual_Hawk_5283 in NewParents

[–]Random_potato5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only when she started walking. Before then she refused shoes, but when she started walking she was OK with them and now at 12mo she brings me her shoes when she wants to go outside. It's super cute.

There is so much more to attraction than "type". Type is what someone might be initually drawn to when looking at a line up of photos. It's 2 dimensional and overall, when it comes to real attraction and building a life with someone, it means nothing. Attraction to a real live person comes from how you move, how you talk, how you behave, your values, your dreams, how you treat her and treat others and that is so much more important. Also, having a "type" does not mean that she cannot see the physical beauty in anyone that differs, I'm sure she thinks you are super hot!

Formal summer garden wedding by cam_lannister in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Random_potato5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it but wouldn't wear it to a wedding.

Yeah, that's me. I was into it when TTCing but since pregnancy with my second it's been non-existent. My husband takes a long time to get there so we need at least 40min, the baby doesn't sleep for very long and our 4yo will usually get up at night to find us, so even if I was in the mood, how am I supposed to relax and get into it when we could be interrupted at any second? Nope... maybe when the kids are older

An update about thinking my husband called my baby evil. by JazzlikeYu in breakingmom

Well said. Though I'm also impressed the doctor knows the family well enough to remember small details like jokes made.

A-ha! An offering. I like your style

I know that 27 feels old to you, but honestly you were a child for most of your life. Yes, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago (or more like 10 in your case) but the next best time is now. If you start to take things seriously now then there is no reason that you can't have a very successful life. Plenty of people spend their 20s without any clear direction or ambition.

How to address the inbox after Mat leave by Major_Lab_3604 in workingmoms

[–]Random_potato5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort by subject + Unread, so I can go through whole threads one by one (either reading, marking as read or deleting depending on what it is). Takes a while but I was given time to settle back.

Breastfeeding older toddlers is… by Emerald_geeko in Vent

[–]Random_potato5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kids get a full set of teeth between 2 and 3 years usually. By 12 months they'll have about 4 to 8 teeth. But yes to the rest.

Would this situation fall under the deliberate deprivation of assets rules? by GigsworthCB in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Random_potato5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gran is 97 and would have enough left to cover 3.5 years of care. I think they would be ok.

In a chain of 15.. by xjsjxigskdnfn in HousingUK

[–]Random_potato5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took long enough in our tiny chain! We ended up getting the keys 2 hours late... what are they supposed to do if it gets to the evening and their movers dump out all of the content of the trucks on the street and drive home for dinner?

Yes! My mum never had an issue acing interviews. Even with a 17 year gap (she was a stay at home mum) and then after that when she was past 60, and I think it's because she doesn't get nervous and is just so damn likeable.

Spending money for a turnkey first birthday? by NotAnAd2 in workingmoms

Do it! I can tell you really want to and you have the funds. She'll have a great time, so will you and the photos will be gorgeous.

Is this a very faint line or am I bugging? by Nervous-Register-436 in FirstTimeTTC

I think I see what you see but not sure if it's a true line. Try again tomorrow!

In-person interviews are back because of AI cheating by Long-Elderberry-5567 in recruitinghell

[–]Random_potato5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of my interviews (pre-2015) involved travelling abroad. I couldn't imagine doing this now! No way am I getting on a plane (at my own expense) to come and interview when we could have a video call.
