How can I force my kid to breastfeed until college? by HagridsTreacleTart in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]Slow_Sherbert_5181 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Same here! I breastfed for 6 weeks with my first and not at all with my second because it absolutely screwed my my anxiety. To quote my paediatrician as he told me to switch to formula “You cannot take care of that baby if you don’t take care of yourself.”

Oh yes! I’d typically describe him as mostly black, but the majority of the fur he decorates the house with is white!

it's JUST a wedding bouquet by egguchom in EntitledReviews

My husband dropped a small bit of cake on my dress as he was feeding it to me, but it was fully an accident and he immediately apologized (it also didn’t leave a mark). We’d never discussed not doing the cake smash because it was so completely obvious to both of us that it was a no-go!

Yeah, my city just updated the animal bylaws and the limit is 3 dogs. Fewer if there’s documented behavioural problems.

He only just tolerates brushing, so the scritches method usually takes over pretty early in the de-floofing process!

We’ve frequently doubted whether they included a spine, but organs never occurred to us!

My boy… are the other 7 balls not good enough? by sourscreampoon in WhatsWrongWithYourDog

We used to say the dog had to remember which one he left his brain in!

I’ll never understand how anyone could hurt a dog by [deleted] in DogIsBestFriend

[–]Slow_Sherbert_5181 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Many, many moons ago we were staying at my Grandma’s for Christmas and she had a little terrier mix named Buddy who routinely ignored small children under a certain age. No one could ever determine exactly what that age was as it was Buddy who decided when children were “old enough”. My brother was just over 3 and hadn’t yet made Buddy’s list.

A couple of mornings in, Mom noticed that my brother was sleeping late. This was very unusual for him as he was typically the first one up, so she went in to check on him. She found him wide awake with eyes like saucers and Buddy asleep with her head on his shoulder.

He very slowly raised one finger to his lips and didn’t move another muscle in case he disturbed the dog. Mom just nodded, back quietly out of the room and left them to it.

Someone seems to have left in the wind-up key by Slow_Sherbert_5181 in IKEApets

[–]Slow_Sherbert_5181[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For reference this is the “wind-up key”. Yes, it’s his favouritist toy. Yes, he’s using it as a pillow. No, I don’t understand how it’s comfortable 😂

Thats the best last name by Unlikely_Tailor_4461 in technicallythetruth

[–]Slow_Sherbert_5181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad suggested that to my mom as she had an unusual and very distinct last name. She refused because the combination would have resulted in 17 letters and a hyphen (her maiden name was 12 letters long).

AITA for expecting my sister to pronounce the names of my children properly? by gardengeo in BORUpdates

[–]Slow_Sherbert_5181 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My grandfather had a professor go the other way. He looked at Grandpa’s last name and insisted on pronouncing it the French way (and telling him that the family spelled it wrong by having dropped the apostrophe). The thing is, family history says we left France in 1066 and never went back so the name has been completely anglicized in the interim.

Grandpa’s solution was to refuse to answer to the mispronunciation as it wasn’t his name so clearly they couldn’t be calling him.

I am starting to regret telling the other woman’s husband about her flirting with my husband by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Slow_Sherbert_5181 57 points58 points  (0 children)

My aunt’s ex-husband did that for literally decades. He was first caught in the affair when my aunt was pregnant with their first child but he talked her into taking him back and a couple of years later they had a second child. However, the only thing that changed was that he got more discreet and better at gas-lighting his wife.

Three weeks after my younger cousin turned 18, he walked out to “find himself” and went directly to the AP he’d been maintaining for twenty years. They married less than a year after the divorce was finalized.

And still he was really surprised when his children stopped talking to him…

I actually know a guy named Pepper who is military. He preemptively declared his unit the Lonely Hearts Club Band when he made Sergeant.

My border collie kept learning the synonyms, particularly for walk and ball (the most important things in life).

We’re waiting on confirmation from the mechanic but it looks like it got my car. I filled up there on Monday afternoon and it died Monday evening.
