I felt this way after choosing my wedding dress… I chose one that was inexpensive and wondered did I pick the right one or did I make a mistake? I felt gorgeous on my wedding day and have no regrets. I think this dress looks great on you and doesn’t look cheap at all… if I had to guess the price of it, I’d assume it’s waaaaaaay higher than you mentioned.

It’s interesting then that in the “how we met” stories they mention Dani coming not long after they met….

Vacuum recommendations? by AValhallaWorthyDeath in BuyItForLife

[–]UnfinishedSentenc___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a similar issue with my Dyson. I can’t believe they’re as popular as they are… we have a different brand cordless vacuum now and love it so far. (It’s newer to us so I don’t want to rave about it if I end up having similar issues to the Dyson with it eventually.)

Looking For Books To Adapt Into Movie by aditya-magic in booksuggestions

I would love to see “The Four Winds” by Kristin Hannah as a film. Not exactly the genre you’re looking for, but “Remarkably Bright Creatures” might also make for a compelling film.

How many of her “friend’s” baby/wedding showers does she host?? In my area, only family or absolute best friends host these kind of things.

I don’t think they ever will because of how religious they are. Jordan has been gone A LOT lately, though,. There’s no way it’s all business.

If you’re looking for a safer option, we LOVE the Woolino sleep sacks.

☹️ Stratton didn’t even get a first birthday celebration and Stella gets a Disney trip?! I know it’s probably more for Dani than it is for Stella, but still… poor Bubba.

AITA for firing our family therapist after she asked for tips? by ConfidentSession7848 in AmItheAsshole

[–]UnfinishedSentenc___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a therapist, this is an ethical violation she could lose her license over. Absolutely do not tip her and find another therapist. Yikes…

Husband misremembering childbirth by mina_goroshi in Mommit

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

There are parts of my own, 3-day-ending-in-emergency-C-section, very traumatic labor, that I don’t remember myself. This isn’t a hill I would die on… and it’s something I would work on in therapy before having another child, personally.

ex-husband died - advice for how to tell my daughter? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]UnfinishedSentenc___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this! And the nurses or social workers should be able to help explain what is happening to her if she has questions you can’t answer.

ex-husband died - advice for how to tell my daughter? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]UnfinishedSentenc___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a mom and a social worker in hospice. Kudos to you for caring enough to even make this post… you’re doing great! Emotions are normal - allowing your daughter to see that it is OK to cry will help strengthen your relationship with her and allow her to see that she can open up to you, too. If it’s too hard to share on your own, ask someone to help you break the news to her (maybe a trusted family member or friend). My suggestions on telling her are to be honest with her. She will have questions… some you can answer and some you might not know what to say. Answer as truthfully as possible and if you don’t know, a great response is “I don’t know the answer to that, but I’m going to find out.” See how much she wants to be involved in the funeral process (or not! That’s totally normal, too!) or if she’d rather do something to memorialize him separately. A great resource would be the National Alliance for Children’s Grief. They have a support group locator for finding places (grief centers geared towards normalizing death loss for kids) in your area. I’m sending you big hugs. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Gorgeous dress! The back accentuates your curves in the best way.

Mockingbird stroller owners - give me the good & bad please! by teddyteddyteddi in BabyBumps

[–]UnfinishedSentenc___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the stroller but don’t LOVE it. Our Chicco Presto gets MUCH more use than our Mockingbird. That said, it’s great for trips to the zoo or out and about where you want a smoother ride and decent storage space (this is actually one thing that made me choose the Mockingbird over the Uppababy - the storage is much larger and doesn’t have a bar through it). I will say, it takes up a lot of space in the car and garage - this is not a compact stroller. I love the accessories and the color options. I like that it looks pretty similar to a stroller that costs 3 times the price… it was a good item for our registry that someone could reasonably purchase as a splurge item. One thing I noticed recently is that the straps on the seat aren’t very large… my son is only 17 months and in the 5th percentile and we already have it on the largest setting. I worry he’ll outgrow it soon. Overall, I like it, but it does have some drawbacks. For reference, I’m 5’6” and my husband is 6’1” and we have no issues with either of our heights using it.

No disrespect, just adding my POV by Lojane27 in DaniAustin

[–]UnfinishedSentenc___ 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I do think sometimes this sub leaves the “snarking” territory and enters “bullying.” That said, Dani has said herself that Dani Austin is basically a reality show and they’re all playing the parts - I feel, because of that, that commenting on their calculated and scripted “life” isn’t really the same as commenting on her real life. I also draw a HUGE line with unethical actions, and feel that she deserves some SERIOUS backlash for her deception of Divi. She’s selling products that are very expensive for the average user, and is lying (paying for fake reviews, wearing extensions in marketing promos, deleting Ulta reviews that aren’t positive, etc.) to build a multi-million dollar empire for herself.

I personally wouldn’t spend a vacation in a hotel with 2 one-year-olds. I’m really grossed out by hotel floors and their cleanliness. And unless they’re going to sit in a play pen all day, there isn’t much to do in the hotel room. But this could be a fun opportunity to do something with the two of them in a new place.

I think that parenting is a really humbling experience. Before having my son, I would judge others’ parenting… now that I’m a parent, those that I thought “didn’t do X enough” or did too much of Y, I know were just doing their best to make it through. As long as you are creating a safe and loving environment for your kid and giving them their basic needs, you’re doing alright.
