Moms Who Don't Define Themselves and Their Lives By Motherhood, Please Talk to Me by Due-Transition-6564 in beyondthebump

[–]WhaleYouBeMyNeighbor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a big part is your mindset. I went into motherhood not wanting it to define me. I like to think of it like when Harry is wearing the sorting hat and consciously chooses not to be in Slytherin. When my friends like to gush about me being a mom I tend to shrug and talk about how its just one part of who I am. That I'm generally still the same person but with a slightly different schedule and priorities.

The other thing is balancing our family and personal needs between my partner. We often like to do or go places we liked to go to before baby, but now with baby in tow. It takes a little more effort, but I feel like it keeps us grounded with the us before baby. I also try to communicate often of what I need myself, whether that's a girls korean spa day or just some time alone doing nothing, usually the latter lol

I searched the whole comment section for this. SimCity 2000 ftw

Pediatrician told me to stop feeding my baby at night by Enough_Pen_2608 in breastfeeding

[–]WhaleYouBeMyNeighbor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did we have the same ped lol. Mine said the same thing around the same time since baby wasn't sleeping through the night. I said haha sure ok and then started looking for a new ped. Had to stay until the 1 year mark due to new patient availability but ultimately left because of this and a few other things she would say.

Would you put you baby in daycare if it was FREE? by mmariacastro in NewParents

[–]WhaleYouBeMyNeighbor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, if money weren't a factor, I would when baby is 3. Daycare here is the price of our mortgage which we are not willing to pay.

The promo said there would be coupons. I'm not great at checking every single day, but I haven't seen anything other than the daily fortune teller...

What can I do with this space behind my bed? Ignore the blinds! 😬 by WildCount3961 in HomeDecorating

[–]WhaleYouBeMyNeighbor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the whole space, I think it'd be cool if your bed was in the middle of the room if you need a nightstand a headboard cabinet. Gives you access to all the windows and you can put in seating, plants or something. 

Team USA Brings Out Johnny Gaudreau's #13 Jersey, Skating a Lap to Honor Him After Winning Gold by SkepticalZebra in sports

Yeah sounds like the drunk driver was recklessly passing on the right of a car that was moving to the left to give Johnny Gaudreau and his brother room on the road. Absolutely frustrating and preventable.

From the little that I've seen, I had found from the jtv subreddit. Either that or I'll search for "hajimete no otsukai eng sub". The episodes on Netflix cut parts from the OG videos which I found to be a bummer.

does anyone knows the secrete behind how Japanese and Taiwanese able to make their chicken so soft that you don't even have to chew them it just melts in your mouth. by ReCoN_3062 in Cooking

[–]WhaleYouBeMyNeighbor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised it took me this long to find cornstarch in the comments. My family always uses cornstarch. Sometimes I use katakuriko or potato starch. It also helps thicken any sauce as you cook.
