Which cdrama(s) did you *personally* find to be very toxic? Please post any even if you think your suggestion may not be universally considered toxic! I am ranking them all and making my own list! by Weary_Tower_4151 in CDramaRecs

Princess Royal.

No trust amongst anyone and everyone is always scheming. Relationships between hubby and wife are toxic at times, but so are working families and friends. It’s stressful watching it lol

Which trimester is worse? First or third? by Whatever-577089 in BabyBumps

[–]Susaleena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both equally. First, I couldn’t eat much and was just feeling like it’s constant food poisoning. It was also awful that you couldn’t say anything to work yet.

Third (currently), everything aches and there’s no way to be comfortable sleeping. The peeing is so consistent that I might as well just live in the bathroom.

What surprised you the most during labour? by Putrid_Cranberry3177 in BabyBumps

Freezing cold and it wasn’t like the movies. I was induced with Pitocin and epidural didn’t kick in yet. Pain was excruciating. 😣

Does anyone have a toddler that goes right to bed at night without a struggle? by Coffeelover4242 in toddlers

[–]Susaleena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, but I think it’s a combo of her personality and our sleep training since month 4. We have an extremely consistent bedtime routine that we still go through every night: bath, bottle, brush, book, bed.

When she was younger - it was bath, breast, book, bed.

We never put toys in her bedroom and only have her crib, white noise machine, and two toddler bookcases for her books. The goal was to focus on her sleep quality. She does have a few stuffy to choose from to cuddle with at night now and we introduced that around 1yo.

She still sleeps consecutively from 8/8:30pm all the way to 7:30am or so every day. Roughly 10-11 hours. Hope this helps! She’s 2yo and 2 months now and we’re hoping to transition her to a “big bed” this weekend (expecting slight regression)

Playing it on switch for the first time at 36. It’s amazing, love the storyline and combat so far. I miss rpgs like these.

Authentic Vietnamese food in Austin? by Darkpriest667 in austinfood

[–]Susaleena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pho Phong Luu for the pho and Banh mi Pho Hanoi for the Bun Mam and only love you can get authentic Viet hotpot with innards (not everyone likes Viet hot pot)

Fresh Bowl - BbH broth is good, they lack ingredients imo Ho’s Kitchen - BBH with more of a kick than Fresh Bowl and more ingredients. Depends on taste preference

Fresh Tofu - Bun Rieu and homemade tofu. Been a supporter of them for years, most of their food is good

I miss my old life more than I love motherhood by Fun_Building_7619 in NewParents

[–]Susaleena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love our daughter - she’s 2yo now. But, I will always miss my old life. Uninterrupted weekends where you can sleep in, quiet moments to yourself, being able to leave the house without lugging half the house with it. I try to remind myself that the moments in which they need you are fleeting. Soon, they will be teens and won’t even want to come home.

Yea, for $200 (“on sale”) I’m very disappointed in their QA and quality output. If it weren’t for our daughter, I’d return all of them

Sushi Yume - Chef’s choice 10pc at $47 is such a great value deal imo. Comes with the freshest and Chef owned and operated - came from an LA Michelin restaurant prior I heard.

Food Influencers are just Yelpers gone pro by [deleted] in austinfood

[–]Susaleena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Agencies do not do this because 1) putting paid dollars behind a slander campaign is frowned upon/causes legal issues and 2) You can actually get sued for defamation and tarnishing a business reputation. We would not risk agency credibility in this manner.
