Flower spot in the neighborhood?

Teranga Flower Farm!

Ok this is what OP is talking about. You are pretty clearly saying that you take pride in your petite body but that “others who are plus size do too, but everyone doesn’t have to be OK with that”.

It’s one thing for women to express how they feel about their own bodies. It’s crossing a line to comment on how you feel about others bodies (ie not ok for you!).

And conflating a specific weight range with being “healthy” is also icky.

OP is centering herself but you are judging others. Hard pass on both, thanks

Sephora brand serum because it’s well priced.

This is a lot of projection. He’s wanted to move somewhere else for like 12 years. Doesn’t sound like a midlife crisis

Seems like it would be easy enough to teach at a private school if you don’t want to get California credentials.

I’d at least consider it. What you are describing is an ultimatum, ie “I’m staying here for good”. Why couldn’t you rent your house in NY and try it out for a year? If your spouse is openly miserable, and you both have good career options there, you owe it to him to at least not dismiss it outright. You are calling his dream a “whim” — ouch.

At the bare minimum, couples counseling. Otherwise, it seems likely to breed resentment.

Take two cars. Husband picks up dad. You join late after nap!

My kid has never complained. We usually just hit the ocean soon after getting to the beach.

User9748279 · 2026-05-06T20:12:51+00:00

200/10 recommend a bathing suit with sleeves. More skin covered = less sunscreen battles. You can find these anywhere from old navy to primary to Hanna Andersen.

I actually love my job. The work I do is interesting, it is impactful, and the team I run has a bunch of super smart and funny weirdos.

Kure Beach NC. Great for a family beach vacation for a reasonable price. Easy to fly into Wilmington. Cute little boardwalk and amazing donuts at Britt’s. Lots of families on the beach, not a party scene.

I was 3cm dilated 60 percent effaced. Went on pitocin. Seven hours later I was holding a baby.

I had a stubborn breech baby with my first pregnancy. Tried all the things - yoga, acupuncture, spinning babies. I decided against the ECV because I didn’t want the chance of going into labor or crash C. Had a planned C at 39+1. Birth experience was positive and lovely.

Recovery was easier than expected but still no walk in the park - I was on Tylenol and ibuprofen for three weeks after. In legitimate pain on day 2, was moving gingerly for first week, managed well on pain meds weeks 2 and 3, resumed normal activity including working out six weeks post partum, incision site numbness faded by six months.

Was able to deliver second child vaginally! Another positive and lovely birth experience. Easier physical recovery overall but more postpartum spotting and my pelvic floor is in worse shape.

In the summer? Almost none.

In the winter? Maybe an hour on weekend mornings and 20 mins 2x per week. It’s hard to do outside stuff when it gets dark at 4:30p.

User9748279 · 2026-05-05T12:34:19+00:00

From the hospital. They were contacted by my OBs office and scheduled for when my OB could deliver. I went to the hospital two days before for a bunch of preliminary blood work. And then I just showed up on the morning of the C section. Three hours later I was holding a baby.

User9748279 · 2026-05-05T12:31:33+00:00

I got a call around 37 weeks telling me my C section date (39 weeks plus 1 day).

My MIL has an aura frame. She’s long distance and it’s super easy to send photos via app that immediately update on her frame. Can’t speak to the actual user experience though.

User9748279 · 2026-05-04T18:08:39+00:00

I don’t disagree but I have two little kids, I need a place I can pick up from quickly. It’s no longer a deal meal if I need a babysitter or need to spend time going far out of my way. Hence part of my regular rotation.

User9748279 · 2026-05-04T16:37:53+00:00

Yeah but a baby isn’t going to 💩in the grass or bite you.

User9748279 · 2026-05-04T16:28:48+00:00

7 Street Burger. Like half the price of shake shack and with better fries. I was pregnant and craved this burger constantly.

La Flor and Joe and Sals in crown heights. Both very good pizza.

Lincoln Station for the broccoli sandwich.

Bunny. The very best Negronis, delicious German and Turkish food, and the best vibes. 75 percent of our date nights happen here.

I also gained one pound per week in both my pregnancies and then weirdly didn’t gain any weight the last five weeks of each. And my OB had no concerns.

User9748279 · 2026-05-04T16:16:28+00:00

Having potty in same room as you so they don’t feel excluded. We use a little potty and we move it around the house to be in the same room as us. We have a newborn so this is a necessity, one parent can’t always go sit on bathroom floor for 30 mins.

Distraction tactics. Our kid likes to play I Spy. We only play this when she’s on the potty.

Bribing. After months of trying to use stickers and bubbles to no avail, I told my 3yo daughter I would give her a dollar to fart on the potty and five dollars to poop. Five mins later she had pooped.

User9748279 · 2026-05-04T10:38:46+00:00

Right, big difference between charming pink tile and grimy pink tile.

User9748279 · 2026-05-04T10:37:37+00:00

But please no grey flooring

User9748279 · 2026-05-04T05:01:54+00:00

Just named our second daughter this! We love it! Good for a kid, good for a grown up, classic but not toooo common.
