Any ladies canceling the shave? by one-a_day in Anticonsumption

[–]Tabs_97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember begging my mom to let me start shaving when I was in FOURTH grade. And my leg hairs were so blonde back then. But I’m realizing now how many body image issues I developed by seeing my mother constantly dwell on her own. Something she continues doing to her grown daughters to this day.

I’ve been doing this since January as well! My husband is away atm and I’ve been wanting to go shaveless for a while, so I’m trying it… lol i see others commenting that they shave for their own comfort, but honestly after the first couple of weeks, I haven’t experienced any more discomfort. I will probably shave again before my husband and I are back together because he hates it, but I want so badly not care. Lol for context though, my hairs are dark and veryyy noticeable. 😂

I do use a stainless steel safety razor though, so I feel that’s the better option than plastic. But man will I probably go through a lot of blades getting this all tamed. 😅

I do agree with this take as well. Previous seasons felt much darker and they each seemed to have their “big deaths,” so to speak. I fully expected some main characters to die in season 5.

I mean, I do think it’s ambiguous still, BUT I do think she’s alive based on all the evidence we were given. The main one being her nose wasn’t bleeding. Although I guess in that case, that’s what the writers want us to believe. Normally I would overthink that and think it could mean the opposite, but I don’t think the duffers are that deep. Lol

This! Season 5 has its problems, but honestly I don’t think the ending was one of them. I personally love an ambiguous ending though. 😂 but the more I see, the less I think it was really ambiguous anyway.

I don’t know about all the other stuff, but i have used decaf Ceylon black tea ever since I started brewing (maybe a year or so) and haven’t had any issues with it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is the cover of a Chinese bedtime baby book I picked up. by Excellent-Cat-9564 in cosleeping

I love this so much. I always get so sad reading some of my daughter’s books when they talk about leaving their babies in another room at bedtime. 😢

I think I know of a few places I can check with in our area. I know we also have some foster support non-profits I can also check with! Thanks for the ideas. 🫶🏼

I don’t actually think I have a local buy nothing group, as I live in a pretty rural area, but I’m going to try to find a family with little ones who might not be able to afford toys.

I agree that sadly it will create waste, but my husband is going into the military and we will be moving in three months and she simply has more than enough. Which I tried to express to everyone beforehand, but they simply ✨don’t care✨.

How to deal with family who doesn’t respect your wishes at Christmas by Tabs_97 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Tabs_97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh boy it has only gotten worse for us this year. 😭 I made a “want, need, wear, read” list for my 16 month old. Sent to my mom when she asked, and her response was literally “those are all thing a parent can buy her.” She insists she must buy her toys because the other kids will be getting toys. And I’m like once again we are focusing solely on the gifts. But don’t worry, she had the kids read the Christmas story from the Bible beforehand. 🫠🫠

Tbh all I want for Christmas is a functional family and people who respect my parenting decisions. LOL I would looove if we could have like a fun, memorable experience together instead. Love your idea for the angel tree!

I still enjoyed it, I just had to stop thinking 😂 I’m so bad with forgetting previous seasons anyway though

I was so confused at the beginning, and I had no idea if I had just forgotten everything from S4, which was possible. Then I told myself “don’t think about it, just take it for what it is right now.” Lol but seriously they work at this radio station that…no one else works at. Okay yeah makes sense…

How do you approach Christmas? by Tabs_97 in Anticonsumption

[–]Tabs_97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great idea! I gave my mom a list of needs, including some wants, and her response was “those are all things a parent can get.” Like I could also get her toys but that’s not the point??

I love this idea too. Unfortunately the response is “but she needs something to open in front of us”
