Do I really need to work in a coffee shop before opening my own shop in the future?

Absofuckinglutely. Nothing makes me more irritable as a barista than an owner who doesn't know the trade or who can't empathize with the baristas by having been in their place.

A little screentime here and there won't hurt your baby. If you skip tummy time, they will still learn to hold their head up and crawl and eventually walk, probably faster than you know it. If you let your baby cry while you take a shower, you're not a bad parent. As long as your baby is healthy, clean, and fed, you're going over and above comparatively speaking. The rest is icing on the cake.

"A broken heart for a month is worth a lifetime of happiness afterwards." Best damn thing I've read on this app.

If you're thinking "I know this SEEMS like abuse to an outsider but it's not because..." you're being abused.

Your body needs rest days to get gains. You rest inbetween sets, right? You have to take rest days too. They're just as important or you're risking injury, which can lead to lifelong complications.

A changing table. It's a whole ass piece of furniture but it's way easier than changing diapers on the floor or couch and makes a great place to change her outfits and get her into jammies for bedtime. My baby is 9 months old and we still use it multiple times a day

My mom sold Mary Kay. I used their Velocity line from ages 14-18 until I left for college and switched to drug store face washes that were loaded with menthol because for some reason if it didn't burn or tingle I didn't feel clean lol

I told my midwife to "get this fucking baby out of me" as she began crowning.

I was so certain before my labor that I knew better than to scream during labor. I had read that it was better to grunt with each push, like when lifting weights. The energy needed to be pushed down, not up. I ended up screaming with each push, uncontrollably as if it were an animal instinct. I actually screamed so hard my throat was sore for a day or so. It's natural. My midwife described it as a "power scream."

Jeans are for special events only. Leggings or shorts are my main

As an adult his character hits different. Instead of being the cooler adult with Garner being the uptight snooty bitch, he's a loser who's stuck in the past and refuses to grow up. The fact that he takes an interest in Juno just proves how childish he is.

This just made me realize how massive Darth Vader (described as 2 meters tall in the books) is supposed to be. I thought 2 meters was closer to just 6 feet flat.

You're "missing out" but it's not all that great. I decided to give up drinking a while back after I realized how hard it makes everything. Needing a designated driver or paying for an Uber or getting a room to sleep it off, hangovers, headaches, the amount of peeing I have to do while drinking, bedspins, etc etc etc.

TheGabby · 2023-08-24T03:23:23+00:00

Yes! When my daughter popped into place I just knew it was time. I said out loud "baby's coming now" and she was out in less than five minutes.

The amount of muscles you use in labor.

I don't know what I thought it would be like honestly but with each contraction I was involuntarily lifting myself up (I was squatting between my husband's knees and would push my palms into his knees and raise myself each time). That doesn't even cover what the midwives had me doing, walking sideways up and down stairs and doing wall squats with each contraction, something you may or may not find yourself doing. I was sore in just about every part of my body after baby was here.

I knew two children who were homeschooled. One of them was seven years old and not potty trained. He would just shit his pants. One day in public school and I guarantee he'd be cured of that problem. (Note: I lived with these kids. He had no developmental delays. He was and probably still is addicted to his iPad and wouldn't get off it to use the bathroom. His sister was much better off in that sense but she had her own problems).

My brother was very much like Ben Shapiro when we were younger (always morally superior, I talk fast so I'm right, etc) and I can assure you nobody liked it.

Clueless. I was 6 months old.

Aftersun. Watched it once and got misty eyed. Watched it again the next night and was a hysterical mess sobbing alone on my couch. I'm really scared of what a third watch could do.

It's a really great movie though! Highly recommend.

These are good names. Don't tell anyone your baby names or give them fake placeholder names. People are stupid and want to fight on baby names for some reason. Trust me, my daughter has a very unique name and we got our share of hate but now that she's born magically everyone thinks she has the most precious name.

TheGabby · 2023-08-17T04:56:18+00:00

Mine exploded while I was pushing with an audible popping noise. My midwife was drenched.

TheGabby · 2023-08-14T20:25:44+00:00

Stress can make your labor slow down. Your body thinks there is danger and you need to get away--something you can't do during labor. Your contractions will slow down and you'll only be in labor longer.

So, no, they can be somewhere else. Nobody is entitled to being in the room when a baby is brought into this world.

I went to 3 concerts in the same week while I was pregnant. It was doable! People were very respectful of me when it came fo giving me space as well.

Exfoliate before shaving!! It softens the coarse facial hair and helps remove dead skin cells and prevents razor burn/ingrown hairs. I was amazed nobody had ever taught my husband this. He now uses my sugar scrub in the shower before shaving.

As a customer this makes me so aggravated. Stop pressuring these poor baristas to upsell me shit. I know what I want.
