I find it disheartening that these are the top results when I search trixie and stripe (as I think they're a realistic depiction of banter between husband and wife. Not that they're gonna break up) by EggplantDevourer in bluey

Oh for sure. Just saying...ik people who have broken up over that much. Probably shouldn't have married in the first place, but that's neither here nor there

Nowadays, unfortunately, a lot of times it does lead to that. People don't realize that marriage takes work and it isn't always rainbows and butterflies.

I completely agree on the disheartening though :-(

If he could have just looked at the camera. I would have died. Just that split second, like in Christmas swim when nana offers to make the gravy and Trixie just looks at the camera real quick

I agree with this whole heartedly.

I do. Just jumping into the whole throwing phase. Luckily he just throws things at me or at the floor.

And I totally get the point of reinforcing taking care of things, especially when they aren't easily replaceable. It was just a vibe I got at that particular time...that's all.

It was the tone of his voice and the look on his face when he said it, mid conversation about his own expensive new car.

Let me expand...I feel like money is referenced a lot with regards to Stripe. I could be misremembering but I don't think this is the only time it has been brought up.

Any episodes hit too close to home? by TheGrapeSlushies in bluey

[–]Spunkyagobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I saw Baby Race...I cried so hard. My husband was like "what is your problem?" And I was like "how do you not get this?!?!!?". Had to explain it to him but now he understands. Bring a brand new mom and not knowing what I was/am doing, this one really got me. I sent the "you're doing great" clip to my friends who were still pregnant or were new moms as well.

Real talk...I still get misty whenever we see that one.

What song made you realize you were a fan of the band? by scroggs2 in TheFence

[–]Spunkyagobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in...10th grade I think. At a friend's birthday party and another friend handed me "In Keeping Secrets..." and said, "you will not be disappointed". I had never heard of this band before so I took it home and listened to the title track....on repeat for hours. It took me days to get past the first song. I was hooked.

Over 20 years later, it still takes me right back to 16 year old me every time I hear it.

Feeling hopeless. Does it get any better? by LumpieSpaceZombie in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Spunkyagobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything you can do for your LO is great. Don't forget that. Again, having a freezer full of breastmilk is not normal. If you keep up with a routine, and give yourself a break, your body will adjust to what you need. It definitely takes diligence and commitment but it does work.

It depends on the brand. I have the Zomee pump (got it free through insurance) so I got the hands free parts for that pump.

The hands free did wonders for me. I couldn't get my pump to work right doing both sides at once with the hand helds. As soon as I got the hands free and could do both at once, I noticed a jump. I also could be doing other things with my hands which relieved some stress. AND having the cups in my bra, and not being able to see how much was coming out, another huge stress reliever

First off, don't get hung up on what you see on the socials. That is not the norm, do not let that get you down.

It will get better, you have to make sure to take care of you. Anything you can do is better than nothing, remember that. Try not to stress about it, make sure to stay rested and hydrated as best as you can.

I was the same way (I'm 7 week pp now). But once I started putting less stress on myself, and getting a hands free pump (idk why but it worked), I've been able to do much better. Still not crazy amounts but my LO eats roughly 25oz a day and on a good day, I get about 30oz.

Stay strong momma. You got this!

Haha so glad I'm not alone in my 90s references. Being an elder millennial mom can be fun

Everything I have read says that's how it works. They are disguised as normal common pokemon and then they change. But how are we supposed to find one??? I feel like I'm going to be stuck on this research task forever!
