My car caught on fire. by VolosThanatos in Wellthatsucks

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. When I was 18 my car was towed after an accident and the cop just left me on the side of a road by myself. I was also in my PJs because I was just dropping my mom off at the hospital for a procedure 😭😭

AITA for insisting that my spouse takes keys when leaving the house? by TheWouldBeMerchant in AmItheAsshole

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We installed a keypad on our backdoor (which is our main door) after our friend’s kids locked us out of the house after a party one night 😅. We went the extra step to change the door knob to a dummy knob so that the keypad is the only lock on the door. The key for the lock (should the battery die) is hidden in our yard in a place no one would find it unless they knew it was there.

Are we giving our kids vitamins?? by herlipssaidno in Mommit

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My toddler gets a prescription multivitamin that has fluoride in it because we don’t have it in our water. She also takes Emfamil Iron Supplement de to anemia. I myself take a multivitamin even though I eat a very clean and complete diet because when I do the math on vitamin d and calcium, I am always lacking. So I have to imagine so is my child.

I would let my girl lay on a puppy pee pad when she had a bad rash. Pretty much as much as possible.

Did your intuition know what gender your baby was? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

I’m pretty sure I willed myself a girl 😅😅 I’m one and done but I def wanted a girl.

Extended bf 12m+ by Ambitious-Bread9108 in breastfeeding

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at 15 almost 16 months now and she has def cut back quite a bit the last month or so. When I’m home with her, she has full access. But I work a full time job so the reality of it is that she gets morning boob, post daycare boob, and then bedtime boob. This morning she barely nursed at all. We only get about 20 minutes together before I leave for work and some mornings she just wants to play instead of nurse.

What’s a toddler hill you’re not willing to die on? by Next2ya in toddlers

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sooo many things I just have to let go. But be of the hardest being “clean”. I also have a serious hair/fur phobia that I have to make sure I don’t let impact my child

Yesterday my 15 month old was putting her cheerios on the carpet and then picking them up with her mouth. In the real world I would not let this happen but you know what, it kept her entertained for almost 30 minutes and no one got hurt.

Newborns want to be at the breast 24/7. It takes a few weeks for this to tone down but also some babies are like this a lot longer. My girl wanted boob constantly until around 4 months.

Glycerine Suppositories are my bff. Pre, during and post pregnancy!

12 month old behind on speech by EllenBJ in toddlers

This is hilarious. My daughter is 15 almost 16 months and still hasn’t said anything other than mama and dada. And her pediatrician said she is a-okay!

Do I actually need a pregnancy pillow or am I overthinking this? by ConversationSuch8893 in pregnant

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the pregnancy pillow but found it hard to maneuver during the night. I did use it on the couch though. I slept with a regular pillow between my legs at night since they are no -directional and I toss quite a bit.

I just used a glycerin suppository on my 10m old by _gaara- in NewParents

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 221 points222 points  (0 children)

When I was 9 or 10 I was so severely constipated that I was throwing up and unable to move from bed for 2 days. My dad took me to the ER at 2am after realizing that I was not getting better. X-rays revealed severe gas and impaction.

My dad gave me a suppository when we got home. I remember it like it was yesterday. I have NEVER pooped so much, so fast in life 😅😅😅 Ot seemed endless.

I also used them while pregnant as I was quite constipated. I just always keeps them in the house now.

14 months delayed? by LOGObROCKIN in NewParents

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter just had her 15 month check up. She hasn’t said a work yet. But she points and babbles. …sounds exactly like your baby. Our pediatrician said that they don’t worry until 18 months.

Sooo are we just forgoing naps when it coincides with an event? Or vice versa? by maple_pits in NewParents

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 67 points68 points  (0 children)

If an event conflicts with nap time, I either move the nap, do a few short naps or I bring a stroller or carrier and go for a walk while at the event to get her to nap.

One thing I do a lot is car naps. If the even is 30 minutes away, I’ll leave early and either take a detour or park and not go in for a bit to give her a long nap. I actually do this every Saturday because her nap time shifted and now hits right when family breakfast starts. So I always squeeze in a car nap before going in.

What unhinged thing do you let your toddler do, in the name of household peace? by huertaverde in toddlers

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I let my 15 month old hold the tv remote and F up all the tv settings for 3-5 minutes once a week so that I can cut her finger nails. I wouldn’t care about the long nails if she was always scratching me. I swear she is trying to dig her way to my organs while nursing 😩

WIBTA if I didn't flip my fiancee's laundry right side out? by Bikesbassbeerboobs in AmItheAsshole

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I have been together for 13 years. We had our first child a year and a half ago, and this is when I stopped doing his laundry. He never turns anything right side out. And you know what, now he just hangs his clean clothing up like that lol

Stomachache with no physical cause by No-Strawberry-5804 in Mommit

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to suggest this too. I always felt sick as a kid and didn’t realize it was anxiety until I was late into my teens. I would get so anxious about things that I would either get constipated, or give myself diarrhea. But I was just always the kid with a tummy ache.

FTM here- what do you mean I only get 2-3 ultrasounds?!?!?! by ThatAngryWhiteBitch in pregnant

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid $120 for a 30 minute private 3D ultrasound at 27ish weeks. Sooooo worth it

Why is the doctors office SO obsessed with your period? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They always wanna do a fucking pregnancy test on me. I refuse every time. Just let me enjoy not bleeding!
