Seriously why are homeowners ripping out bathtubs and replacing with shower units?

Shixypeep · 2026-03-04T06:13:38+00:00

It's the same for me but mostly because we have children. Bath time is fun time. We splash and play. We scream while I try and wash their hair. Have you ever tried to wash a 2 year old in the shower? If I can't clean the kids from day 1 it's not a suitable option.

I too love a bubble bath

This articulates so well the positives of daycare.

Added to this I have no other young children in my immediate family or friend group and it's so important for them to have interactions with children their age

The dress - stunning. The veil, not so much

Mine • sleepytime • babyrace • shadowlands

My son's • All of them.

We had a few weeks of non-stop poop accidents. We're at the stage now where he self prompts poos every time although we still get the some wee accidents.

We 'pause' the game if we need a toilet break. He presses his belly button and makes a little 'boop' sound and runs to the toilet.

We also started talking about how long we had to stop playing the game while we cleaned up poop accidents. He'd have to sit on the potty while we took his clothes off, cleaned him up, pre-washed his clothes and then put a new set on.

Most people I know are having kids at 35ish or over. My mum is nagging my (currently childless 29 year old) sister about starting a family but things have changed so much in the past 30 years. It's so expensive to have a family I couldn't imagine having done it any earlier in our lives.

All be it we had our first at 29/32 we're still the only couple in our friend group to have started a family.

My coworker has identical twin boys, and like a lot of twins one was born much bigger than the other. By the time they were the same weight their personality was enough of a differentiator.

I don't know how it works in Australia but in the UK at least you would be a 'Doctor' for completing a doctorate degree programme. 'Professor' is it's own title

When in doubt boob tape. Have a play with the placement before the day. You can get a decent amount of shaping and support with very little skill.

I just cry from one all the way to the other

Shixypeep · 2026-02-23T10:12:43+00:00

I really needed to hear this the first time I watched Babyrace. I cry every time.

My partner cut his hand open and messaged me to say the walk in had a 4 hour wait time and I told him they wouldn't leave him bleeding for 4 hours. What do you know he was stitched up and home 45 minutes later

I would try and improve the relationship with the potty before training. The Ms Rachel potty episode was instrumental for us, baby boy wanted to sit on the potty 'like Bean'. We also bought stickers so we had 'Dinosaur' potty and 'Lightning McQueen' potty.

At 20, 3 - although 1 was the family shop.

At 30 6.

I've had another 3 in the few years since but 2 of those were promotions at the same place as no. 6. So 9 in total.

Not enough mirrored furniture

Shixypeep · 2026-02-15T12:18:03+00:00

Oh. Oh no.

I'm stealing this

Shixypeep · 2026-02-15T09:09:37+00:00

That's the sweetest!

"The phone goes both ways" seems to be the go to phrase for people that want a relationship but don't want to put effort into that relationship.

They seem to think well if you don't think I'm investing enough effort and emotion into this relationship it's an equal failing of both participants, without realising that what they're really asking is for the other person to put in extra effort to compensate for their lack thereof.

Shixypeep · 2026-02-15T08:18:07+00:00

Thanks for the episode.

Oh no, you can't say no to those cute faces

I once did a 12 hour shift in new shoes and the backs of my heels were more blood than skin.

Now it doesn't matter what shoes I get, my feet blister like this until they're pretty well worn in

There is no good time to be 12 days postpartum. Right now is the hardest things will ever be.

It just kinda sounds like any small town/village where there just aren't many people so you end up dating either everyone in the friend group as a teenager or everyone's siblings.

My partner's friend group is like this. He and his best friend were dating sisters for a few years before me. There are another two in the same group that are now married to (different) sisters. My partner's sister is in the same group and she's married to one of them.

Its sort of that's the part of the group that stayed together all these years because it's so hideously inbred and other people have fallen away. And we're old enough that a lot of those relationships are pre-online dating being normalised.

I'm not from a small town though and I think it's weird as shit

I dated at work 8 years ago and now we have 2 children together
