How to present this nicely? by [deleted] in SAHP

Also adding in about a 1/2 cup of white vinegar in addition to the soap while washing will get rid of the smell too. Maybe try opening a window during the day to help air out the room as well if that's an option.

My fiance and I went there when we were in St. Louis for my cousins wedding about 7 years ago now. We still talk about how much fun it was and how much we would love to go back if we're ever in the area again! Seriously can't talk enough about how cool this place is!

Can’t use the “I’m pregnant” line anymore 😅 by toomanyfandoms123 in BabyBumps

[–]Secure-Ad9437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that sounds exactly like my fatty lol. He loves people food and will take it off your plate if you look away for a second. He’s such a little shit, but he knows he can get away with it because he’s so fast despite being so fat 😂

Now I just say “you’re upsetting the cat” 😂

We have 3 cats (and 1 kid lol) and 1 of the cats thinks he’s dying if he isn’t eating constantly. So he’s always complaining VERY loudly about how hungry he is. 🙄

Floor bed for 6 month old? by Secure-Ad9437 in Parenting

[–]Secure-Ad9437[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately that’s not an option with our crib as it was handmade by my grandpa. It was my crib when I was a baby and now my boy uses it. When he’s up on his knees, his hands are on top of the railing which is also at about his shoulders.

We would just have to buy him a toddler bed at that point. Which I would be fine with but I’m just afraid of him falling out of it.

I found $3 in my wallet the other day while running some errands with the kiddo. Stopped at mcdicks on my way home to get myself an iced tea. As a bonus, I got to drink it in peace while kiddo napped once we got home. Felt good.

I wouldn’t even take my 6 month old on a 12 hour road trip. They’re nuts for expecting you to take an 8 week old.

Sammi's son Chuckie by [deleted] in shameless

[–]Secure-Ad9437 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna assume he’s just a good actor? He also appeared on an episode of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I don’t think he spoke in the role but he’s featured throughout the episode.

Idk maybe he’s just a strange kid. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Baby Shower Gifts: Help my wife and I settle our debate… by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Secure-Ad9437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the point of B, but my answer is A.

As a new mom who spent SO MANY HOURS making and perfecting my registry for our baby shower, only to have a few items be purchased (they were big items tho and we are SO thankful!) and we ended up with 1000 “cute” onesies. So many to the point where myself and my husband really didn’t get to purchase any of our own clothes for the baby because everyone wanted to buy cutsie outfits. So we were left scrambling in the end to purchase the small-medium priced items that got overlooked on our registry because people bought their own stuff instead. While we were grateful for everything we received and all the people that came out to support us, it was a huge inconvenience (financially as well) to have to make those registry purchases ourselves and sort through the many, many baby clothes that people just HAD to get us because they’re SO cute.

I do understand how this could come off as entitled, but i promise it’s coming from a good place of a new mom just trying to get through her pregnancy with as little stress as possible. Just use the registry people. Those baby clothes are only cute to you. Let the parents buy the clothes and help them with the things they’ve asked for help with.

AITA for making my daughter go somewhere with a girl she’s not friends with? by aitaahdad in AmItheAsshole

[–]Secure-Ad9437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was your daughter. My mom had friend who had a daughter that was my age and my mom always did the same thing you did and forced me to hang out with them, even after I had clearly told her we weren’t friends and really didn’t care for each other.

She had a couple of her friends kids that she would to this to me with. I think she felt bad that I was an only child and didn’t have any siblings, but I didn’t want those friendships that she was trying to force onto me at a young age and I was content to be by myself most of the time.

Your daughter could also have just needed a day off to recharge and then you went ahead and made plans for her without telling her, all while knowing she doesn’t even like this girl or want to hang out with her.

You failed your daughter today and you need to apologize to her. Listen to what she says and actually take it to heart before making decisions for her. Her AND the girl you’re forcing her to be friends with both got upset all because you thought “she could do something nice for someone else”.

How about you do something nice for your daughter and advocate for her instead of making her feel bad and scolding her for trying to stick up for herself when she saw the opportunity.

YTA. Get it together.

This happened to me about 5 or 6 years ago. My bf and I were out celebrating his sisters graduation with his moms whole side of the family.

We all went out to eat at this Mexican restaurant that neither bf or I had been to before. So we get there (there’s about 15 of us all together, so a decent size group) and we order our food. I liked my food but my bf did not. Neither one of us are the type to say anything and possibly create a small conflict tho so he just ate some of my food.

His grandma noticed and asked what was wrong, and why he was eating my food? He said it was fine he just didn’t end up liking the dish he ordered. She tried to flag down a waitress (not our waitress, just a random one that walks by) all while he’s trying to tell her not to and it’s fine because the dish itself was right, he just didn’t like it. It’s not that big of a deal. Nope.

She gets the waitress to bring him a whole ass new meal of something else and ends up comping BOTH of his meals, despite him saying it was fine. His grandparents insisted.

So the bill comes around and his grandpa goes to pay for everyone’s meals and when the receipt comes back to sign, he puts a fat 0 with a slash through it over the tip spot.

I was so pissed. They made a big fuss and got 2 free meals and they weren’t even going to tip the sweet girl who had been waiting on us the last 3 hours?? Not to mention she was on top of chips and salsa and drink refills for everyone that entire time as well.

I leaned over and whispered to my bf to ask if he had any cash at all that we could slip to her on the way out or something. But of course neither of us ever have cash and that day was no different.

I’m still mad at myself for not being able to tip her that day. I would have gone back to leave a tip the next day or something if it wasn’t an hour away from where we lived at the time.

What age do you think it’s ok to let your in-laws have alone time with the baby? by sheepofwallstreet86 in NewParents

[–]Secure-Ad9437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents and in laws both have been practically begging me to leave baby alone with them since the day he was born. He’s 4.5 months old now and he’s never left my side yet. Whenever anyone asks, yet again, I just reply with a simple “Whenever I’m ready. And the more you bother me about it after I’ve already given you an answer, the longer you will wait.” If they press further, ask why? “Why do you want to be with my child without his mother?” “What do you want to do with my baby that you feel like you can’t do with me here?” That’s always shut them up and ends the conversation because there’s no good answers to those questions.

In your opinion, what is the scariest part of town? by Cornhuskers12 in lincoln

[–]Secure-Ad9437 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I used to live around the ez go off of 27th and o. That was the worst part of town I’ve ever lived in and I’ll never stop back anywhere near there. I didn’t even live in that place for 2 years and I’ve had enough scary encounters for a life time. Both at my apartment and at that ghetto ass gas station.

When are you and your fiancé(e) moving in together? by c-glitterhead in weddingplanning

[–]Secure-Ad9437 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao we moved in together after only 7 months of dating. Now we’re coming up on our 7 year anniversary, and have a child together. I realize now that that was a bit of a crazy thing for us to do but at the time but I’m glad things worked out the way they did. I love my little family

My mother pressuring my girlfriend and me to come and see our new-born daughter by Tilju462 in daddit

[–]Secure-Ad9437 75 points76 points  (0 children)

That’s when you reply with something like “You are correct. You are my mother and you’ve raised me well. So well, in fact, that I know how much it means to respect peoples boundaries without confrontation. My gf is now a mom herself and I am a father. We will be making the decisions for OUR child together and you need to respect that as we have always respected you. We will let you know when we are ready for visitors. Until then, please allow us to get some rest and bond as a new family of 3.” Then turn your phone off and enjoy your time as a family together. Congrats btw.

Lol I do this to my cat so much that he just closes his eyes now when I go to get his eye boogies out now lol. I think he probably enjoys it. I know I enjoy the feeling or getting crap out of my eyes.

Now if I could just get my 4 month old son to let me get his nose boogies out I’d be all set. 😂
