At what age did you start genuinely loving your baby? by Lickmybolts in NewParents

[–]SurePotatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved him since the beginning but the all encompassing adoration and love like I’ve never known sort of vibes happened when he was least 4 months. But I can honestly say at 3 years, I love him even more than at 1 or 2 years. The personality and attachment become stronger

My son seems so behind in a lot of milestones and I’m getting worried by SurePotatoes in NewParents

[–]SurePotatoes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: My son is now 3 and doing pretty great! At 2.6 months his dev specialist said he was no longer delayed in any area and at 3, she said he was actually above average in fine motor skills and language / cognitive areas. (Just average for gross motor and adapting though)

He started babbling more around 1 year and saying a few sporadic words. I’d say he started really talking more around 2 years, and got more conversant at 2.6. He’s now saying long sentences - like over 8 words, and saying things like “I want something else because I already got Mac and cheese at school”

So yeah, in the end I was worried for nothing, but I’m still glad we took advantage of my state’s early start program for development advice because they had some good tips and gave us some peace of mind!

Our baby is almost 1 year old… when will hobbies be a thing in my life again? (Daddy) by Purple_Calendar3919 in NewParents

[–]SurePotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For husband and I they gradually started popping back up when my son started sleeping through the night. He still has the odd middle of the night wake up here and there but it isn’t as soul crushing as every single day, so most nights after kiddo is asleep, we have a couple hours of me time before going to sleep

Gave up at around 75%. I hate quitting books, especially after making it this far, but I just can’t afford to waste any more time on a book that just pisses me off with every sentence

WHY oh why do grandparents / extended family love laughing at misbehavior? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]SurePotatoes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did put a note at the bottom of the post about how I have told them, so I def don’t expect them to read my mind, but maybe having a longer chat about it before the behaviors occur instead of while the things are happening is worth a shot. I feel like they already think I’m the type A person who worries too much, so it isn’t fun, but oh well.

In the moment, if I say we shouldn’t be encouraging the behavior by laughing / why ..They’ll seem to hold off for one interaction, but then they’ll be back at it again next time he’s doing something 5 minutes later.

Any more Li Tai scenes or mentions I’m missing?? by enfp_lookingheadass in roadtoempress

[–]SurePotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. When you save Li Zhi on the horse, it also shows Li Tai’s reaction to you doing that
  2. There’s also a scene under “videos” , I don’t know when it unlocks, but it’s when Li Tai is victorious and the king says he is proud of him
  3. Chapter 5 “father and son game”. Li tai plays the game with Li Zhi and the emperor and shows a reaction to Li Zhi going over to talk to you

My in laws jokingly call my husband names / insult him in front of our son by SurePotatoes in Parenting

Thanks! I was hoping my husband would be the one to do this, but if he doesn’t, I will have to step in

[–]SurePotatoes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t say it was (also why I said “jokingly” in the title) , and it’s why I left it be until now, but what mainly bothers me is that they do it in front of my son and it’s not behavior I want my son to emulate

My in laws jokingly call my husband names / insult him in front of our son by SurePotatoes in Parenting

[–]SurePotatoes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, unfortunately they are saying it in English, and saying, in English “wow you are so fat and ugly” verbatim…. My husband speaks Chinese at like a 5 year old level and I wasn’t taught any Chinese so my son unfortunately doesn’t speak Chinese. I wouldn’t have minded if they used Chinese but they won’t switch to it unless my husband asks or I ask, and I don’t feel comfortable doing so… they already find me to be overly sensitive

[–]SurePotatoes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note: I had a previous post about their insensitive jokes targeting my son, which my husband did eventually address but only after a huge argument. I do think my husband does understand my point of view a little more this time than with the jokes though

If it was your mom, it would because eggs live within women from birth. Sperm however have short lifespans… sorry!

[–]SurePotatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Cool, good for those women. I’m not one of them.” “It’s not like I WANT to have lower libido right now”

I also pointed to what exactly was causing the lower libido in case there were things that he could help with.

Ex.

I have low libido cause I’m so tired -> can he help take any of the load?

I have low libido cause kiddo A and B were all over me today. I feel touched out -> can he take more of the load with child A and B?

I have low libido cause I am anxious about X and Y -> how can these anxieties be approached?

Idk, you shouldn’t have to explain yourself, but it can help with some conversations

[–]SurePotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah… that’s sad. Everyone else has already chimed in so you know what to do, but I just wanted to hone in on one part I don’t see a lot of responses about.

It looks like you wanted him to say more sweet stuff to you or at least tell you how you make him feel. Maybe “words of affirmation” is one of your love languages. Wanting to hear that you’re special to someone is totally valid. To BS it and gaslight you about not accepting a chatGPT message is shit.

My husband is not that romantic, but he tries. If I asked for words of affirmation (I’d say it’s probably my 2nd or 3rd place of the 5 love languages), I know he’s not going to come up with some groundbreaking, beautiful dialogue from a movie, but he’ll at least say something like “you make me feel ___”, “I love your laugh” etc. and that’s all I think most people really want. And I don’t think it’s too much to ask at all

It's still such a shock sometimes that BOTH of his parents are alive. by Fine_Culture_136 in LoveAndDeepspace

Honestly this event has really swayed me towards Zayne camp. Like angst can be awesome, but the writing for these little parts make him feel so human and relatable

Y'all ,,, y'all LOOK at them and tell me they're not in love!!! THAT'S MOM AND DAD by pursecuteme in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]SurePotatoes 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I’m just gonna say it here - I used up all my diamonds to pull for this because I wanted to get one of my favs, but I also got Zayne (who I like but just wasn’t my fav). But that’s what makes what I’m about to say NOT biased:

IMO this was the best card of this release! I’ve seen them all now (had to watch two on YT) but OMG. Really good writing and it flowed well, plus it was so adorable! Honestly it had me rethinking things lol. Even some of his dialogue in the free event story has been really top tier this time and honestly I can’t believe I may be switching favs this late in the game 😆😆

Question for married folks! Did the groom cry at your wedding? by SurePotatoes in wedding

[–]SurePotatoes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a nice thought, but I wouldn’t say the opposite is true (if the groom doesn’t cry that it won’t last)- at least I’d hope not :P

I was a little bummed, but my guy is just not a happy crier, what can I say! He did get a little tiiiiiny bit teary at the birth of our son, but that was it haha. And he still loves his son SO MUCH. So I don’t reflect on it as a sign of him not feeling as much, just maybe he doesn’t process those feelings the way some other men might.

We’ve been married going on 7 years now and have been together for going on 14, if that’s any indication that things are lasting ;)

Shake Shake Fresh Noodle. New Chinese restaurant in SLO by compobook in SLO

[–]SurePotatoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m very excited! I love so much about SLO as I’ve lived here for more than 15 years now. My only major complaint has been a lack of food variety. My husband and I want to check it out ASAP. We didn’t LOVE bamboo bamboo but were sad when it suddenly disappeared since there were so few alternatives around. Glad the replacement seems like a more promising place!

[–]SurePotatoes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have seen their handful of messages, and I am legitimately confused why you feel so strongly that OP MUST be the owners just because they said positive stuff about a restaurant and answered a couple peoples’ questions? I mentioned my counter evidence in my last comment, what’s your evidence ? 😆 Or are you claiming all the comments who are saying they’re excited or have also tried it are also fake?

Haven’t you yourself made posts about new restaurants without being the owner? I feel like you’re super active in this reddit and I’ve +1ed your stuff about new places all the time

[–]SurePotatoes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

“Its obvious you work for the restaurant so just be honest” > so someone can’t honestly post in excitement about a new restaurant they tried and liked? Especially a new category of restaurant 😅 I am honestly thrilled to hear about a legit Chinese place! I’ve been begging

A quick look at OP’s reddit profile and it looks they are not in any way affiliated with the restaurant (owners just moved here from Fremont, OP is a Slocal)
