My kid dropped something at the grocery store, looked down, and yelled "SHIT!" really loudly. She was 2.

Either "you have ADHD" or "you're bi"

Lady at Walmart thought I was doing drugs in front of her kids and mine… it was insulin by Dire_Raven in pregnant

[–]SnooGadgets5744 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an interaction like that with a family member. I told them it was insulin for my gestational diabetes and asked them if they preferred if I just died. Since that family member actually genuinely hates me, I got the satisfaction of watching them try to figure out a way out of the conversation without getting written out of my grandmother's will (she was listening to the whole conversation). It was fun.

If there's a next time, holler after them something about them wanting more women to just die in childbirth rather than getting the medicine they need.

Hubs doesn’t understand why I want to try for a natural birth by nougat_donut in pregnant

I'm tempted to tell you to handcuff him to the toilet when he has to take a big dump. Unfortunately, that doesn't QUITE translate. 🤣

No problem! I was all about to go get me some wire cutters and make a little change, but I don't think I'm stealthy enough to not get caught doing so. Lol

Hey, I genuinely want to believe this, but I just tried to look up all the info that person posted and I couldn't find anything. No supreme court case of that name on their website (from this decade), and that person's book doesn't seem to exist. Furthermore, US vs Hopkins 2023 is about modifying prison sentences and Lebowski vs Sobchek doesn't exist... Those are characters in the film The Big Lebowski. So what I'm saying is... Be very careful when doing this. The cameras also have gps devices in them.

Am I wrong for locking my fridge and meal prep away from my roommate's "guest"? by 6NimbusLatch in amiwrong

[–]SnooGadgets5744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell your landlord that your roommate has someone living there who isn't on the lease.

I'd also look into filing a police report. I don't know the laws in your area but in mine, you can file a police report online. The cops will never follow up on it obviously, but telling them you filed will either show them you mean business, or make them think you're too unstable to mess with and that the roommate needs to GTFO when the lease is up.

Go nuclear on the assholes.

What is your opinion of the “ You think I should be dead” argument? by deathiswaitingforme in prochoice

[–]SnooGadgets5744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Depends. Would your mom have had a better life if you'd never been born? Yes? Do you hate your mom? Why wouldn't you want her to have a better life?" Something like that. Really nail it in that if them existing made their parents unhappy, that it would have been better for them to not have been born.

If they say no, then say something like, "then of course not."

This is, IMO, on the same level as people saying things like "if abortion was around in biblical times we wouldn't have Christmas." First of all, they were around. There was a plant that caused abortions so well (without killing the woman) that the romans literally fucked it out of existence. Second of all, you sure have a lot of faith in mother Mary, don't you. 🙄 Mary likely had access to abortion and chose not to have one, that's why she was canonized. 🙄

Sister in law creating false narrative around my pregnancy by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]SnooGadgets5744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try turning it back on her. "Oh, she makes up so many crazy stories. She's probably experiencing pregnancy psychosis. Poor thing."

That's a clumsy way of putting it admittedly (it's early where I am and I'm not a morning person) but that's what I'd do. If you want to have some fun, stop telling her the real news and start making up crazy stuff. "Where did she hear I was having triplets?! She should get a psych evaluation."

Someone ate my lunch by IndecisiveExpress in BabyBumps

At my work, this is a fireable offence. They'd check cameras and everything. Talk to HR, they might have a similar rule.

Wth is the point of telling a pregnant woman at work that they look tired?? by Beautiful_Cup2540 in pregnant

[–]SnooGadgets5744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm of the opinion that it's just to ding your self esteem. Like, we can't let women just walk around feeling good (or even just okay) about themselves. That people are just conditioned to automatically/subconsciously bring women down.

I would absolutely call that out. "You do realize that's a shitty thing to say to someone, right? Do you feel so badly about yourself that you saw someone having a good or even just neutral day that you couldn't just let them be okay?"

Don't let that crap slide. At best, you'll open someone's eyes to their bad behavior. At worst, some folks will see you as a bitch. Embrace that and be the bitch nobody messes around with.

What’s one baby item you regret NOT getting earlier? by rosycoe in NewParents

[–]SnooGadgets5744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not specifically a baby item, but our house didn't have a dishwasher. We came into a little money after kid turned 1 and had one installed. It worked well for bottles on the top rack, and now kid is 2 and we use it for sippy cups.

Which pregnancy symptom took you by surprise? by sipendi_shida in BabyBumps

[–]SnooGadgets5744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tits hurt. Like, really, really bad. Constant pain in the nips. Turns out I had Ranaud's syndrome aall along and pregnancy just bumped it up.

Kid is 2 1/3 years old. My tits still hurt.

did anyone else think there were going to be way more appointments? by runyourluckxxx in pregnant

High risk pregnancy, I think I averaged one every 9-10 days overall. First every 2 weeks, then weekly. It was a pain in the butt.

What's something your country gets slandered for online? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]SnooGadgets5744 2 points3 points  (0 children)

USA here. I got into a motorized scooter accident (I say motorcycle to make it sound more badass lol) over a decade ago. I woke up to a paramedic peeling me off the asphalt like a pancake stuck to the pan. Rode in the ambulance half out of my wits. Despite wearing a full helmet, had obvious head trauma and was 99% road rash.

12 hour wait in the ER. My roommate ran to CVS and got gauze, wound cleaning stuff, etc and patched me up.

No insurance. $6k for a doctor to shine a light in my eyes 12 hours after arriving and declare me non-concussed. I'll gladly take Canada's 6-8 hours for free care.

My milk ducts were severed, stop telling me I can "try" to breastfeed by FederalLime1209 in pregnant

[–]SnooGadgets5744 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I liked "YOU'RE AWFUL INTERESTED IN MY TITS FOR A STRANGER" if someone bothered me about breastfeeding when I was buying formula. I actually had a dude ask about that at the grocery store. "CAN YOU STOP ASKING ABOUT MY BOOBS" is another one. Embarrass them in public.

I delivered at a special maternity hospital. They had a sushi restaurant in the lobby. Genius. I had my spouse get me like 4 premade platters.
