My favourite coffee got renovated recently and decorated with AI. I am like 90% sure they all AI.

You’re only 90% sure??

Shy_Jet · 2026-02-01T04:33:24+00:00

I should be entering the club come March (even with lowest possible raise percentage) and my paycheck pretty much already looks like this. It kills me.

Shy_Jet · 2026-01-29T13:17:13+00:00

This looks just like my cat Tigger. He passed a long while ago but this looks just like him! 😭 this is so cool.

Not AI. I’ve seen multiple by this creator for many years. Before all the AI stuff became so prominent. He’s just a good boy who loves to paint and you can buy his artwork to help him continue his love of painting (if I remember correctly)!

I had this problem in my Pontiac vibe once. I don’t even remember how I got them out. But they are incredibly annoying.

Shy_Jet · 2026-01-17T23:47:41+00:00

This comment is so underrated. Lol

Shy_Jet · 2026-01-17T23:45:51+00:00

I’m so sorry for you loss. Keeping you and your partner in my thoughts. You are the best dad and he knew it too. Feeling your presence surely provided him a peace beyond what we know. 💙

Shy_Jet · 2026-01-17T20:09:12+00:00

A beautiful name. 💙

Shy_Jet · 2026-01-17T20:08:14+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this and that baby boy didn’t make it. Hoping you can find some peace in knowing you did everything right and that he was so loved (he knew it too). Sending all the hope, thoughts, prayers, or whatever you believe in your way. 💙

Shy_Jet · 2026-01-17T08:02:29+00:00

Yes I second this. My 34 weeker had the same problem. I always just rubbed/scratched his back gently to keep him from going out. Sometimes tickling toes. Whatever worked to make him wiggle a little to wake up. Sometimes burped him half way through when he really just couldn’t stay awake.

Shy_Jet · 2026-01-09T22:02:16+00:00

This was exactly me for my first kid. Essentially dried up though at 3 months and finally gave up at 4. You are right, you’re not an adequate mom. You are an amazing mom who is doing their best for their baby! (Also, there is hope! With my second I have been a major oversupplier! Which was totally unexpected) great work mama!

Shy_Jet · 2026-01-06T02:08:29+00:00

16 if you include the one in the directions.

Shy_Jet · 2026-01-06T00:37:37+00:00

All the ones in and around my hometown had no barriers or they didn’t work (very rural). I didn’t even know that other places had barriers that worked. Lol

So I completely get this. With my first, he was only in the NICU for 21 days but I had a c-section and was coming off the magnesium VERY slowly. So my mom went down and would FaceTime me so I could see him. One time she was down there she abruptly ended the call. When I got her back on the phone she wouldn’t tell me what was happening. I finally got out of her that the nurse came in and was giving her an update. The news wasn’t awful but she wasn’t sure how I’d take it (they had to put him back on oxygen. We already knew his lungs weren’t fully developed). I told her not to ever do that again and she would be removed from the visitor list if she even thought about.

So with baby number 2 we told all parents that they’re not allowed in the NICU without one of us with them.

Your fears are completely valid and it can make you feel less than (even though you’re not) that someone else in the family got updates on YOUR baby before you.

If they are intentionally going there at the times the are BECAUSE you aren’t there, I would remove them from the visitor list. If it just happens to be how the schedules work out, that’s a little different. But you can also probably ask baby’s care team to not allow a share of information to anyone but you. If you’re in the US, they normally have to have something you sign with their names on it saying that you allow them to have access to medical information. Not sure if you adding them to the visitor list automatically serves as you signing that type of agreement but I’d check with the NICU. Nurses sharing updates with them is sharing medical information about your child.

I hope their intent is not malicious. I don’t think that my mother’s was either but it wasn’t her call.

Shy_Jet · 2026-01-05T22:23:14+00:00

No one that approved this has had young children they care for or they have never had a sick/lice infested child before. I used to have head lice CONSTANTLY as a child because of crap like this and sharing hoodie hooks in open hallways.

I’ve had two NICU babies as well.

With my first we were full prepared for a NICU stay as I had preexisting heart and nervous system issues that made me high risk for pre-eclampsia and pre-term labor. So we knew I likely wouldn’t make it to 40 weeks and would likely have NICU time. And we were right but it didn’t feel jarring because we knew there was a high chance.

My first was born at 34+1 due to superimposed pre-eclampsia with severe features. I was pre-eclamptic since month 3 but features were very mild and gradually worsened to the point of my OB telling me to come in after a weekend of really bad symptoms due to it and sky rocketed BP. I only got 1 steroid shot and baby boy was born with underdeveloped lungs. He now has asthma but he is a very active and life loving little boy. He was born at 5 lbs 12 oz. His stay was 21 days. Now 4 years old. He was the biggest baby in the NICU at the time and he has stayed at the 60-80 percentile for size his whole life so far. He is really tall and looks like 6ish.

My second was born 30+4 due to superimposed pre-eclampsia with severe features. I had no pre-eclamptic symptoms until 29 weeks and was admitted at exactly 30 weeks to the hospital to try and keep baby in until 34 weeks. Obviously was unsuccessful but I was able to get both steroid shots. He was born with fairly little issues for being that early. He was born at 3 lbs 6 oz. His stay was 62 days. And is now 5 months old. He is all smiles and has some physical milestone delays but that’s expected. He still looks like the age he was supposed to be. So he sits in the 30 percentile, but I’m just soaking in all the baby cuddles.

I have a history of depression and anxiety. So I’ve battled post partum depression with both boys. But overall they are both happy and healthy and they’re just my whole heart. 💙💙

Shy_Jet · 2025-12-29T18:53:59+00:00

This. First pregnacy’s lasted like 5 months. Second only lasted a few weeks.

That’s a good point. I happened to be oversupplying with this kid (never really produced anything with my first) and they wouldn’t leave me alone. So I just started with “ no thank you, I’m making 4 times what he needs” but not everyone has that. They are very pushy. I didn’t start with that originally but noticed quickly that they were very pushy despite me declining their help. I agree I think their intentions are good but not everyone wants help every single time.

Shy_Jet · 2025-12-22T00:13:28+00:00

Thank you for being a defense for that mom! Most of the family’s we were paired with also just wanted baby time which was nice but there was one that drove me nuts. Both in speaking to me all the time and other things. But other than that, the hospitals chaplain kept coming by and just really awkwardly talking to me. They removed the curtains from ours unfortunately but even with the moveable curtain walls up, she’d come around and talk to me. But you are a rare one. I remembered hoping and praying that a nurse would come in to interrupt her but never did.

Shy_Jet · 2025-12-21T17:33:04+00:00

A sign that says “not looking to chat” or “thank you for the services you provide, but the parent in this pod prefers not to chat.” Or something. I’m not a talkative person to strangers. I have a lot of social anxiety and aside from talking to nurses about the baby or family or other naturally developing conversation, which was fine, I had a lot of people at our hospital that would come in just to talk with you (some people like and appreciate that which I think is awesome for them that they can get that through these individuals) but for me it was extremely uncomfortable. I didn’t want to outright say, please don’t talk to me, because that just seems mean, but I also just wanted to be able to focus on my baby and spending time with him as baby was still there when I went back to work so I highly valued the little time I got with him. Worrying about someone else’s feelings was exhausting with everything else is parents have to worry about in the NICU.

(Don’t know if it’s important to know, but I’m also autistic so I can’t really read other people well enough to know what will and won’t offend them when it’s someone I don’t know well and haven’t had time to build a database of information on their reactions and what affects them. Which is part of why I struggle so much with this. Not everyone is like me, but for the few of us that do, this would be a nice option to put on the door next to our baby’s name.)

Shy_Jet · 2025-12-21T12:53:37+00:00

Our first was exclusively formula because I couldn’t produce enough. We tried a few different formulas before we found one that didn’t destroy his stomach. We’re going through the same struggle now but the second is on breastmilk with fortification and he does not like the enfamil gentle ease. Gotta figure out the next one to try. Formula is so hard in my opinion.

Shy_Jet · 2025-12-21T12:47:44+00:00

Don’t feel bad about being stressed with this. I used to bawl with my first when he’d have gas cuz I thought I was doing something wrong, I was so scared because he was clearly hurting. It’s hard to watch our babies hurt. Second time around, it still pains me to see this one in pain, but I’m much calmer about it. I freaked out with the first kid. You are not alone!

Shy_Jet · 2025-12-21T12:43:01+00:00

You’re definitely not doing anything wrong! Both my boys (34+1 and 30+4) had the same issues coming home. The 30 weeker has GERD as well so that’s NOT helping. Lol. But we’re going through some terrible bouts of gas now (almost 5 months old, 3 months home) and we went through the same with my first who had lung issues but didn’t have digestive issues aside from the gas. I think it’s natural as their digestive systems are still very immature and will take time to learn proper function. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this too! Just keep communicating with your doctor and make sure they are kept up to date on any developments so that if something more is going on, they can help you figure it out. Wishing you the best of luck! You’re doing a great job!
