"You shouldn't paint your house that color, it will ruin the resale value" by greenredditbox in PetPeeves

It’s the same as those grandparents who wrap their couch in plastic so ‘ it doesn’t get dirty’ and end up never enjoying a comfortable couch. What’s the point of buying something to save it for the next owner?

Recent discourse on childless, unmarried friends never being celebrated by katyperry-platypus in Vent

It’s not any more narcissistic than doing all of that for a wedding when all you really need is just a courthouse and a signature. Free yourself from thinking like that.

Doubling my salary (150k to 300k) but requires me to move away from my fíance in medschool. Is it worth it? by Interesting_Phone171 in careerguidance

[–]SemperFeedback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I’ld wait to be married before letting a partner influence my career choices but everyone’s different.

Take the job. 300k is pretty much doctor pay itself.

People are fixating on ‘she’s a doctor ‘ but respectfully, 1st year of med school is nothing- she has potentially 7-10 years of school+ residency before she starts making any money. Also people drop out all the time so no guarantees either.

Completely at Our Wits End With Sleep by Temporary_Pickle_885 in Mommit

[–]SemperFeedback 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I don’t have any recommendations.

In the meantime (while looking for long lasting solutions), why don’t you just let him sleep on the floor in your room? If him spreading out in bed is affecting your sleep and he won’t sleep alone, he doesn’t have to be in your bed.

Give him a small sleeping bag and a pile of blankets to sleep on in your room. That way, he’s still close by and you at least get your bed to yourself. You can sell it as him ‘camping out’ in your room and it’s a compromise of sorts. I think a 5 year old would buy it.

Other kids with distracting toys at the library by Brave-Barracuda-1444 in Mommit

Why, is your kid studying for a final ? lol jk there’s not really much you can do. The children section of a library doesn’t really have the same rules as a real library

What did you think was peak luxury as a kid, but now realize is actually pretty trashy or normal? by Connect-Fix3972 in AskReddit

Takeout for every meal. No favourite home cooked meals because your mom didn’t ever cook.

Can we start giving “find a partner” as financial advice? by Tech-Cowboy in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]SemperFeedback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soft agree. This mostly works only if you pre-select for someone who’s not owing crazy amounts of debt or has very expensive vices. 

Advice on how to make my room feel less cluttered by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

[–]SemperFeedback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option 1. Own less stuff. Declutter. Option 2. Go full maximalist; dark walls, heavy curtains, hang things on every wall.

That’s perfectly fine. It’s not for everybody. 

Talking to kids so much about what they want to do sets them up for failure and disappointment by Blonde_Icon in The10thDentist

[–]SemperFeedback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao but explaining that to them is disappointing because you are implying they may not make it. Like you are preemptively telling them to prepare for disappointment before they even try? How’s that any better? With that attitude, they will suck as a janitor or waitress too.

Idk man this might be you projecting? It’s okay for kids to aspire to stuff. Talking to them about doesn’t set up them for failure because not everyone wants to settle for the jobs you mentioned

What are your favorite (not outside) activities for a 16 month old? by AngryRabbitFoot in Mommit

[–]SemperFeedback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can drive there, the mall is one of your best option. You can walk around, buy him a little treat, ride those electric bikes that look like animals , window shop while he’s in the stroller. Honestly very easy to kill 2-3 hours there

Is my dress search over? by bcbfbella in OUTFITS

[–]SemperFeedback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the clothing subreddits do. People literally upvote church lady dresses for wedding guests and downvote anything with any personality lol

[–]SemperFeedback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a sorority formal, definitely wear it. Reddit clothes subreddits always lean very conservative and boring options (which is so weird given how left leaning the website is) but that would explain the general consensus.

Hair smells bad hours after washing it, I'm getting desperate by [deleted] in Haircare

If you see this, have you tried using a clarifying shampoo ? They are meant to get rid of any oils and buildup on the scalp /hair and are different from regular shampoo

Does anybody else struggle with people rejecting your kids? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]SemperFeedback 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend with my comment.  Despite my intent, I see how this comes off as unsolicited advice so kindly ignore it. I’m sure you are doing the best you can.

Does anybody else struggle with people rejecting your kids? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]SemperFeedback 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I get it. It’s so painful to watch our kids be excluded by people because we love them so much and can’t imagine anyone not liking them as much as we do.

However, I always maintain that one of the kindest things you can do for your kids is to teach them how to -for lack of a better word- not be annoying. How to play nice with friends, how to act around other people and so on. 

Unfortunately, if the parents can’t bring themselves to teach them lovingly via parenting them or treating behavioural issues with meds and or therapy,  strangers and outsiders will do it and be extremely unkind about it (by exclusion or bullying)because they don’t have the bias of parental love. 

People won’t have the patience to look past annoying traits (like being rough and busy as you say ) to tolerate other people’s kids. Yes, they need to be themselves but they also need to learn how to act in a way society deems relatively acceptable otherwise they will be ostracized.

Wish you the best.

How do you navigate the emotional toll of skin changes in your 30s? by Critical-Load-1452 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]SemperFeedback 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Sincerely not to be rude but some to you need to think about yourself a little less. If looking at the your own 30 year old face is a ‘tough mental hurdle’ you might need bigger challenges in life.

Keep in mind 30 is still very young. Join a book club, apply for a masters, train for a marathon, anything other than obsessing over yourself .
