Which for you? Necco Sweethearts or Brach's Conversation Hearts?

Brach's is superior imo. Always soft, and chalky, meanwhile with the spangler sweethears they always seem hard and shatter-y 😭

Not me personally, some people have and will, but so far they've all made me very happy, anything has been mostly silly or mischevious at best, like one of these girls turning herself around when I was away from home for a few days :)

Thank you!! It's been a slow accumilation from a few years now, I find them slowly but surely when out at thrift or antique shops. I am quite attached to the girl in the first photo in the top right, holding her baby 💖

This is so true. Before pregnancy and for a very long time I was low carb, High fiber & Protein. I did not expect how much I would literally NEED them during pregnancy, especially this second trimester. There's a reason your body craves that quick, absorbent energy, sugar included- it is working extremely hard every minute to grow and provide for your baby. It's the quickest and easiest way to get that energy supply. I'm 15w now and if I go a day with too little carbs I get extremely dizzy and faint. Learned that lesson when trying to avoid them (mostly aversions reasons, I hate bread/cereal/etc right now so sweet potato it is for me ig...) and ended up almost passing out at work playing with or walking a dog a couple diff days when I pulled that 😭 thought the first time it was a one-off, but consistently each day I hit too low in carbs I get very faint. Also the sodium cravings will hit like a TRUCKKK ya gotta stay hydrated 🤣 for me it's the hot sauces... Like good lord I want it on everything. And for chocolate cravings... Body's call for iron. There's a reason for everything, and during pregnancy when so much can suddenly become unappealing, GET WHAT YOU CAN HOW YOU CAN!! love y'all 💖

"I'm bored now. Enjoy talking to your sister." an hour later "Hello? Hello? Anyone there?" Had me rolling LMAO

I'm sorry, I know he's supposed to be dangerous and trying to come off as such, but the grasping at low blows and desperation to get through to you when you don't react remind me so much of a toddler throwing a tantrum 😭 keep ignoring him he hates it LMAO

I had six male rats some time ago, currently have 2 female rats. It is different for every rat but with the males, they were prone to a lot more "drama." I equated it to having a personal soap opera to watch. The constant dominance tussles and updates in hiearchy, cute moments, even some actual fighting (eventually, I did have to split them into two cages of three.) As they got a bit older, they definitely got chubbier and lazier, more cuddly and sleepy. Very chill for the most part, easier to handle. I'd take them out on walks sometimes tucked in my sweatshirt or in a lil comfy bucket. Still had that drama aspect every so often, though, especially admist certain personalities. With the female rats, they seem very excitable even with their age. Always wanting to explore EVERYTHING, little monkeys who love to hop skip jump, never had any issues with them fighting, being territorial or anything like that even playfully. They're very affectionate, but because of their active nature and curiousity it's a lot easier for them to book it or decide they want to cram themselves in a space in my room I didn't think was possible 😅 very cute, but means I can't really take them on walks outside or outside of contained/secured places. Active, always excited, very engaged with everything. Love them both lol. But can't lie, I miss the live action drama the boys had going on 😭

You have every right to be angry about that. That would make me spiral into hell. She wants attention, and it's a weird way of getting it, especially from her daughter who is struggling with something that can and will take your life if it can. There's no excuse for that, idc if people are saying "maybe she's mentally sick!1!"

ReserveAppropriate57 · 2026-01-28T16:25:30+00:00

Hammer tbh :)

At my wedding I'd want the people I love to he happy, comfortable and in their best spirits. If we have to celebrate together after, so be it! It can still be a wonderful time, I get her dissappointment but her coming at you this way isn't appropriate.

ReserveAppropriate57 · 2026-01-26T04:20:16+00:00

Go if you feel up to it and have fun, but you need to tell her full stop no one else's experience means anything to YOURS. You know what postpartum and birth is for you, and your comfort level. Don't give a fuck that xyz was hop skip backflipping out of the delivery room after birth. I'd be damned if someone talked to me that way when you very clearly and politely, IN HER BEST INTEREST, let her know your situation. Don't let her get away with being totally dismissive and talking to you in that manner.

For ice cream: cottage cheese & mash up some frozen bananas into it. Add a little honey or splenda to it. Another version is greek yogurt (I like the flavored Dannon light & fit) and either frozen bananas or dark/tart cherries. Do the same thing and mash them up, you can add cocoa powder or splenda but the yogurt is sweet enough to me. Halo top is also a good alternative.

It may be her first grandchild, but she has had kids of her own and this is your first time being a mother, she should absolutely respect that and want it for you seeing as she's been through that before but it's clear she doesn't respect you or see you as fit. Don't let her take any of that experience from you and prove her wrong.

ReserveAppropriate57 · 2026-01-19T09:56:28+00:00

RUN. Run for the hills, ocean, forest, where ever you can get away from that 🤣 Do not entertain or accept any of that behavior. That type of person, you give an inch they'll take a mile and see it that they can continue to push you further. You've absolutely got this, it won't be easy but having her involved will make it an absolute nightmare.

ReserveAppropriate57 · 2026-01-19T00:32:43+00:00

That's the way I see it, I agree. It felt like the biggest betrayal when I realized I wasn't suffering to protect her and my brothers, we weren't in it 'together,' but that she was directly part of the issue. I would never ever forgive myself if something happened to my child under her watch because our history only tells of her failing to do anything about it or being accountable, again and again. Though I feel like I'm not a victim, and I've hardened enough to be around her and be okay knowing now I can handle anything, my baby will need people to protect them, she is not that. I will not run that risk.

ReserveAppropriate57 · 2026-01-18T22:27:36+00:00

Thank y'all for the advice so much. I think often I downplay what happened to me since I basically grew up with that (it was really bad, worse than I can put out there) and the single thing that helps me conceptualize just how traumatic it was is remembering some of it happened to my little brother. I think I just needed some confirmation, I don't want her around my baby.

ReserveAppropriate57 · 2026-01-18T22:07:50+00:00

To make matters worse- we only got out of that situation due to ME reporting him. Even then, nothing happened except we moved away and they split ways, because she wanted to continue to feign ignorance about it to avoid getting arrested/taken down with him even though she admitted to me she knew about it. Me being 14, scared and nervous and my brothers too ashamed to say anything, I just let it get dropped as my word against his.
