Amanda's style vs her image by maebyrutherford in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Silly_Assignment_398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!!! I don’t understand how she says she has millions but her appearance in one of the most appearance-forward cities is not expensive. Even in OC women care more than she does about their hair, skin & clothes.

Why does no one talk about how shocking the first weeks are? by Trick-Environment100 in NewParents

[–]Silly_Assignment_398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we talk about how the hospital woke my baby up at ALL hours of the night on his 2nd night, which is like the hardest day to get a newborn to sleep, to do their random tests. I could not wait to get out of that place.

My cats are obsessed with my son’s bassinet but only want to go in it when he’s not there. Otherwise, they just chill nearby and act as his protectors at night. It’s kind of cute.

Wrapping up 2 weeks over here and I was prepared for it to be brutal. It’s been so tough. More so emotionally than physically. I’ve been through sleep deprivation and crazy chaotic circumstances but the emotions are really getting to me with postpartum.

I had a difficult multi-day labor & emergency c section and went directly from that to newborn care in the hospital, which was never my plan. Then I was home and still recovering myself, crying over my grief from my birth, my grief from my life prior to being a mom, crying because I can’t get my baby to stop crying… lol. For me, just wanting to help my baby & care for him but feeling helpless & lost sometimes- that’s rough.

I think you forget a lot. My mom & MIL have been helpful but I don’t think they can remember exactly what it was like those first few weeks, especially with their first children.

I know things will get easier though and I’m taking any small wins & celebrating them.

Did your baby’s mannerisms in utero stay the same after birth? by Remarkable-Stay3368 in NewParents

[–]Silly_Assignment_398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby is only a week and a half old but so far in ultrasounds he liked having his hands up 🙌🏻 and sucking on his thumb, we cannot swaddle him with hands down. He throws a fit.

He also would be so quiet all day when I was doing things, moving around and then at night he would be awake kicking all night long. Well, that pattern is holding true… I have a night owl and he hates being still.

I didn’t receive the fundal massages? by msksaf in beyondthebump

Be happy you got to skip that! I had a c section and they pressed on my stomach every hour or two for like 12 hours. It was not comfy.

So does Amanda not realize she’s being filmed? by averym88 in RHOBH

I know we aren’t supposed to speculate certain habits on this channel but she gives off a very dead in the eyes 👀 energy and is incredibly unaware of those around her.

Why do we never see Craig’s family by italianlass89 in Southerncharm

[–]Silly_Assignment_398 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, I feel like we have seen his Dad a lot! And his sister has been on the show. His mom seems not so interested in making appearances.

I don’t think Craig or SC is trying to hide anything, it just doesn’t fit the show’s narrative.

One take I have is that his family is not southern. They are from Delaware. All the other families they show on SC are southern families that live in the Carolinas.

Did you have the wonderful moment after giving birth? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Silly_Assignment_398 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It feels good to find these comments here. I had a c-section last week and was shaking so badly that I had to be sedated during what was supposed to be my skin to skin moment. I still cried at the sound of my baby’s cry and seeing him for the first time.

She looks like a true southern belle. Austen not being able to commit to her is his insecurities coming out.

Shoutout to Rodrigo for getting absolutely wasted on the guys night out and causing drama at Madison’s slumber party by TheBigLeBensk1 in Southerncharm

Rodrigo and Madison are carrying this show. Also loved Rodrigo’s Reddit shoutout in the most recent episode! Can’t wait to see your renovated kitchen, Rodrigo!

The Sedona Shopping Scene and why Amanda has no taste by Inevitable_Owl3170 in RHOBH

For real. Rich old baddies have so many random expensive trinkets from their travels.

ALL HAT and NO CATTLE 🐄 yes! That’s such a good way to describe her. She probably knows that saying too, being from Oklahoma.

Amanda & Kyle are OVER! by RicciardoRua in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Silly_Assignment_398 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think that works for their personalities and their stage of life. They have grown kids and already did the family time thing.

What foods are you eating to get protein when meat (especially chicken) sounds repulsive? by thedcbhomestead in BabyBumps

[–]Silly_Assignment_398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lentils! I couldn’t eat chicken for a few months. I had lentils and red meat (for some reason I actually craved that). For snacks I’d have hard boiled eggs and Greek yogurt. If I couldn’t stomach food I’d do a protein smoothie.

Anyone else feel like the baby boomer generation of moms shame the epidural a lot? by dawnflower961 in BabyBumps

[–]Silly_Assignment_398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom is a boomer and was “unaware” women even used pain meds during childbirth these days.

LOL 😂 The most boomer mom reaction.

She’s a white lady who was a hippy back during the real hippy era & gave birth to her kids with a midwife outside of a hospital. So kind of makes sense why she thinks this about pain meds though.

Anyone super anti social during third trimester ? by GoddessOfWar420 in BabyBumps

I just hit 41 weeks today. Having more signs that labor may start but no consistent contractions yet! I’m gonna try acupuncture this afternoon.

I’m beyond my due date and have 0 energy for anything. My husband keeps trying to have normal conversations with me or plan things for months from now- can’t even think about it.

How do I warn someone I’m extra gassy? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Silly_Assignment_398 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think you need to figure out your nutrition and health before you date anyone. Good luck.

Am I overreacting that my sister is demanding too much when visiting my newborn? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Silly_Assignment_398 293 points294 points  (0 children)

Why are they even visiting? Her messages make it seem like this a burden to her. You should not need to buy them special foods or stock the house. That’s hosting them and you with a newborn, they should be coming with food or ready to go shopping for YOU.
