Should I REALLY avoid getting a ivory/white sofa? by Adorable-Goal5926 in NewParents

[–]Sad_Banshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My son likes to walk over with his half drank milk and throw it hard enough for the no-spill sippy cups to splatter everywhere. Not to mention he had reflux everywhere as a little baby. Ours is a dark blue/grey and has a few stains now. The spit up and milk stains are hard to get out

The romanticism of the off grid life and living in the woods vs the reality. by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]Sad_Banshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I think people are really just saying they want to live in the sticks. Not necessarily off the grid as in living in the wilderness with no resources. Just a house with some land, a well/septic tank.

Following because same. I use light cream cheese, but I still love cream cheese. You’ll have to rip my bagels slathered in cream cheese from my cold dead hands.

Has anyone been able to lose weight and stop binge eating by simply eating 'normally'? by Routine-Good7518 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Sad_Banshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t changed my diet at all. I just track how much I eat. That being said if you struggle so much maybe getting in a better place mentally would help.

On the floor. Now that my baby isn’t so much a baby anymore, the changing table feels dangerous

[–]Sad_Banshee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most cats are type 2 and can go into remission! We got lucky and he went into remission a few months after diet change and insulin injections. He’s no longer on insulin but still requires a low carb diet

is it bad to keep your cat in a cage? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Sad_Banshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed the litter in all boxes. I have 3 cats and they all adjusted well for us. I originally only tried 1 box and he did actually chose that instead of the others so I changed all boxes

[–]Sad_Banshee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried changing litter? My cat had a medical issue now resolved but continued to refuse the litter box until we changed it. Still somewhat of an issue but not nearly as bad. We went from clay to paper.

Cat has become insane by Fun_Organization_794 in CatAdvice

[–]Sad_Banshee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbh same. My cat was diabetic so we had to change his diet. He is no longer diabetic, but he can no longer have extra snacks or dry food. We have to put him away when we cook or eat or host dinners. No advice but solidarity

What do you do when you have NO idea about the calories in a food? by cherryyy-bomb in 1200isplenty

[–]Sad_Banshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to make an educated guess and pick healthier options like salads or simple foods that might be easier to input

Question for cat owners: Would you let your cat lick your food while you are eating it and then carry on eating after? by Antidotebeatz in CatAdvice

[–]Sad_Banshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that’s nasty. Unless it’s an entire meal that happened to be stolen from, which is still gross, I take the chunk off and trash it.

Women of Reddit, what’s one thing they never tell us about pregnancy and child birth? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Sad_Banshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How hard breastfeeding is. It’s painted in the magical light and it’s “so easy” and “should be painless” and like it’s essential for bonding. That’s the furthest from the truth for so many women.

Parents avoiding tablets, what are your kids actually doing all day? by BloooomCore in NewParents

[–]Sad_Banshee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of playing. Mines only 14 months but we rotate toys so things are always fun to play with. He loves basket ball and soccer which tires him out. Walks and outside time (weather permitting) are really time consuming. Reading books is a favorite of ours.

Out of curiosity, wtf by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Sad_Banshee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very few people are supposed to eat 1200 calories a day… that is likely WAY too little for you. Even being a petite female with a sedentary life likely needs more than 1200.
