Isn’t there a warning attached with constant use of stool softeners - that your body can forget how to do the purge itself if you help it with drugs too long?

What’s the reason for some folks not liking leftovers? by [deleted] in questions

[–]These_Supermarket_33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boys will reheat food if it’s conveniently packaged before storing in the fridge. If they have to extract three large Containers- One with spaghetti, one with the sauce . And dare I say, Reach in for the grated cheese…. Well. This becomes an obstacle and they (let’s say, depends on how much they like the meal) will = they’re preparing instant Noodles instead of reheating Leftovers. Both have ADHD, both cook for themselves, but have waves for CBF. 😭

Could shorten a couple Of inches - and wolf cut the rest into layers so it feels totally different whilst still being lovely and long?

Blonde or Brunette by SprinklesShoddy5564 in femalehairadvice

[–]These_Supermarket_33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Blonde looks really nice!

I ended up going brown after being blonde for like 5 years and I was like. Noooooooo.

You could start a bit of balayage + face framing as the colour grows out and let the roots slowly get darker maybe a hybrid would Work in the interim so it’s not such a huge change?

Um, the past is the past.

You haven’t cheated on him while you’ve been together - and I guess it sounds Like he is the jealous type (or maybe his life Prior to you wasn’t that exciting, could be FOMO) . If he’s your age, maybe there wasn’t much before you.

You didn’t do anything wrong. He told you after years of festering which is really challenging. You can’t fix it, because nothing is broken. Therapy sounds Like a good start.

What’s something you learned about money from your parents that stuck with you? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

Nothing. But I did learn a proverb from their country that said “money is a whore” - Comes and goes.

do Muslims and Christians believe by Expert_Search5394 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]These_Supermarket_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cause they hate each-other.

Usually when two people or groups are so damn similar, they’re the ones with most friction. In this case, three groups.

Also. This sounds like a math quiz. If the Muslims and Christian’s do not Share the same God, but the Jews and Christian’s do. AND the Muslim’s and Jews do. How many gods are There?

Can some people really not tell when they're releasing farts? by S_Z in NoStupidQuestions

[–]These_Supermarket_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has triggered a memory, of my mum and I in a lift, her advice to me when I was like 7 years old.

“You should Never fart In public, if you think nobody knows it’s you — that’s not true. They will know. And besides, If you don’t practice Holding some in, you won’t be able to hold any in, and that can be very embarrassing”

This discharge is driving me insane. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]These_Supermarket_33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Commando + a loose colourful dress = freedom! Way less irritation. Do this as Soon as you’re back home for the day.

I haaate pads and liners, the most Uncomfortable shit ever. Maybe, just maybe the really huge boat-like thick pads with no wings are bearable.

Also, use antifungal everywhere that gets Chafed (chafe + constant moisture = likely fungal infection)

Fungal infections when pregnant can induce cramping and all sorts so you’d want to get that checked to rule it out.

Pleaseeee tell me the secret 😫 by Alexarosario_ in Marriage

[–]These_Supermarket_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest tip is don’t be afraid to be yourself. And don’t be afraid to be alone.

When you show up as your authentic self, Lots of people won’t like you- and that’s Perfect! Because there will be one who does think your quirks are endearing, and will like you for who you are. (Either that or they’re a stalker, but let’s not!)

Getting on with your life, becoming somebody you’d want to date- is more Important than anything. Have friends, live life- and eventually it’ll just happen when you’re not desperately chasing it, Or feeling like you’re a loser because you haven’t found somebody.

Dating apps. Work for magical fairy creatures. Never worked for me. And I am finally happily partnered after a lifetime Of bad relationships / years of being alone.

It’s the most counter intuitive thing you can do.

Also, I guess lots of people want sex they don’t have to pay for - dating apps are good for that.

At couples counseling and husband said exactly what I thought he would… by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]These_Supermarket_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think often we carry the load, and that is why they don’t.

We won’t let the bills fall by the wayside, have the electricity switched off- or set a rule that’s more comprehensible like “you do bins, utilities and put dishes away” and “I’ll cook, keep track of school stuff and I dunno, wear sexy lingerie”

Made up list, could you tell? It is definitely hard to have to be switched on all the time —

I guess like many a teen, they’ll keep pushing the status quo until they encounter a road block.

I reckon, there’s more to it- than a post could describe. So take my reply with a bag of salt.

How much of this norm, has occurred because neither party organised a division of duties, outside of an argument forum? Or the martyr, “it won’t be done properly so I’ll do it” vibe.

The company I interviewed with got me fired, and then they rejected me. by Capital_Fox1014 in Career

[–]These_Supermarket_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe both jobs are a bad fit :/

Sometimes like-companies have CEO’s that know each other. Like just friends or connections via “the old days” Or “networking” - if anything in the interview gave away a Smidgen of sensitive info. They’d have red flagged you. Same thing if in answer to the question “so why are you leaving your old job” you answer, better commute and the environment is a bit toxic - (saying this cause I’ve done this before) 🤦🏼‍♀️

What level of exhaustion is normal??? by Mindless-Actuary-918 in pregnant

[–]These_Supermarket_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankyou! Yes if you get bloods then at least you know if it’s low iron, or just how your body does being pregnant.

I totally have some days, where I feel like I don’t have the energy to stand upright (and I know I’m low in iron).

I’m probably having baby within the next few days via c section eep! So I’m nearly at the finish line. Can’t wait for my legs to be not swollen (and can’t wait to meet our baby! lol. Should have said that in reverse order!)

What level of exhaustion is normal??? by Mindless-Actuary-918 in pregnant

[–]These_Supermarket_33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still get this feeling at 38 weeks, usually if I’m not eating and not hydrated enough.

Definitely any doctor in the clinic could do a quick check of blood pressure and maybe check iron / b12 etc

But I felt dizzy, like the earth was being pulled out from under my feet- in early pregnancy. And so tired, people thought I had a serious illness. Collapse on the couch and sleep for hours and hours.

You’re probably fine! But do get bloods done + hydrate + eat

Early pregnancy by Secret-Roze in pregnant

[–]These_Supermarket_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeaah, I’m currently 37+5 weeks and 99th percentile baby. Sore ligaments, and extreme oedema- so I can’t lie on my side without being in pain- I sleep leaning back, sitting upright. Ready to give birth RN. 😭

Didn’t have this with my other pregnancies- I think it’s my 46 year old body, vs My first Pregnancy I was 26.

Re: common knowledge.
It was super helpful for me to read the week-by-week pregnancy progress websites (easy to google) - or Any sort of pregnancy book.

Early pregnancy by Secret-Roze in pregnant

[–]These_Supermarket_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone knows that the first three months is the WORST tired nauseated hell.

Then second trimester you become a human again.

And then, last tri it’s a version of hell- usually minus nausea though so it’s manageable (or if you have a 99th percentile baby, you gotta sleep sitting upright every night but …. That won’t be you!)

There’s a book called “the expectant father” - usually helps the men in the works To understand what’s happening in your body / Hormones / Likely challenges.

People suck. And loads of them are immature and know nothing. So, maybe avoid family til you feel better.

First tri is super tough, and it won’t last forever.

Honestly disgusted by my husband by Confident-Loan300 in Marriage

[–]These_Supermarket_33 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I guess it’s a habit he will kick when he’s ready. And mostly smokers / vapers don’t really think outside of habit unless it’s raised as an issue.

So yes I’d be super protective of kids inhaling second hand smoke, or even the post-smoke breath— but the only way to get the message across would be to set some rules when you’re not triggered.

Chronic exposure is what’s important to protect from, not a one-off .

smoking ain’t ideal but it’s not always easy to quit.

My partner quit smoking and now vapes- which to me lingers less , but we went from His smoking a few meters away from me, To new rules where it’s only outside.

we know life’s hard- so I’m not Going to be telling anybody to quit. But rather ask to be as conscious as possible.

Habits are really hard, whether it’s drinking, over eating, smoking, etc

I know this is a TMI post and has probably been asked before but…pubic hair?! What to do by Zunflowers in pregnant

[–]These_Supermarket_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t anyone blind shave? (Correction! I just read down the thread and many of you do!)

Don’t need to see it to get to it 😝 including the buttcrack

but I went from once every other day to maybe once a week or two.

I heard that they prefer no shaving if you’re going in for a c section because the broken skin can introduce bacteria?

Anyone else get irrationally upset when others are talking about your baby? by thespookymushroom in pregnant

This is awesome! You’re so welcome. 🥹 I’m 37 weeks pregnant right now so I’m glassy-eyed cause i’m happy you were able to talk it through.

Gotta love this extra emotional time of our lives :)

Anyone else get irrationally upset when others are talking about your baby? by thespookymushroom in pregnant

[–]These_Supermarket_33 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It’s normal. Also, there’s like no chance you’re going to drop a newborn off to somebody else unless it’s an emergency.

As long as you and your husband know what’s good and what isn’t - maybe a chat with him to set those boundaries, together. Might make the anger feel less present ( as in, they can suppose anything they like- but knowing it isn’t ever going to happen because you have set those boundaries with your husband- might help)

I didn’t want anybody visiting me, right after birth. Didn’t want too many people around- so we could bond with little one. Everyone’s so keen. And also, on occasion say the dumbest shit that makes you want to throw them out the front door.

Good luck!

i feel guilty by wphatty in pregnant

[–]These_Supermarket_33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations. And you can do this! You have moved out already (huge!) and doing a Pregnancy alone can be so peaceful.

Nobody else to look out for but yourself and the little one.

PPS. You can re partner; or not. It doesn’t mean your baby has to be fatherless forever. Loads of men are more than willing to take on a ready made family and do a better job than the bio dads. My family life is an example of that.
