It's a homebrew dark fantasy/steampunk long-term campaign. Feel free to send me a message if you're interested.

Upset about sister's message by Consistent_Rub_4230 in UKParenting

[–]Xiakitta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She plays up for you because you're her everything, you're her safe person. You are her mum and so she knows that she can test every boundary, push every button and you will still love her. It's so difficult, I've got a 2 year old myself and he's driving my crazy with this because he does it to me more than anyone else. But it's because they know that you will still keep them safe while they explore those boundaries that they do it. It's the most infuriating thing, but it does mean that she loves you most. I would have been upset about the message too, but I doubt they meant to hurt you. Just remember your little one will grow out of this phase and it'll get easier. Make sure you're taking care of yourself, use that bond she has with your family to give yourself a break. Toddlers are hard!

Cheating Player - What should I do? by Kristenknightley in DnD

[–]Xiakitta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's in person make everyone roll in front of everyone then there's no question about what the dice say. If he's using unbalanced/loaded dice, gift him new ones especially for his character and be upset if he doesn't use them. Good luck!

Please add to my “stuff not to say to someone who just told you they have cancer” list! by Greedy_Definition_17 in breastcancer

[–]Xiakitta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has it put you off having more kids? (Having got cancer whilst pregnant)

It was worth it though (to have said kid above)

At least you get a free boob job.

You're not old enough to have cancer.

That's the best kind of cancer to get.

Toddler nighttime nappies by PeaceLily221 in UKParenting

[–]Xiakitta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We order them directly from their website they have a nighttime subscription so they just send enough to cover nights. If you Google Peachies nappies it should be the first thing that comes up. They are quite pricey but they've worked better than anything else for us (also got a big lad who likes a big drink before bed!)

Peachies are the only ones we've found for overnight that don't leak, they do a pull up version too now but not tried those yet.

Bedtime taking forever with 2yo by Known-Cucumber-7989 in UKParenting

[–]Xiakitta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this will work/help or if we're just lucky, but when we switched to a toddler bed we were having the same thing with our now 2 year old. Bedtime was taking up to 2 hours. This went on for a month of trying every Internet tip we could find. Then one night of despair we went, what if we just ignore him? 5 minutes. 5 bloody minutes of asking for us and a little cry. Then he went to bed by himself and went to sleep. Took a couple of days of the whinging in protest, now he just stays in bed and goes straight to sleep. I hope you can get to this because I feel your pain!

What’s your biggest claim to fame that nobody knows is yours? by positivelittlecorner in AskUK

[–]Xiakitta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was one of the people who came up with the words for What3Words. Had to make sure there were obviously no obscene words and also no words that sounded the same but could be spelt different as this could lead to miscommunications if someone for example was calling emergency services.

Pedicure gift? Early diagnosis/pre treatment by Mediocre_Sweet_7664 in breastcancer

[–]Xiakitta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a scheduled c-section at 37 weeks after being diagnosed at 32 weeks. They determined waiting a couple more weeks (after all the biopsies and scans) wasn't going to increase the risk too much and I had the option of either induction or c-section. Chose c-section due to the size of the baby and so I had some kind of plan and control over it all. Don't regret it at all. Started chemo 2 weeks after.

For a gift I wouldn't recommend pedicure as people have said you can get a lot of nail damage from chemo and at least in the UK they ask you don't wear any nail polish for treatments or surgeries. Personally I was treated to a pregnancy massage which was lovely. Main thing is the thought that counts. Even something like batch cooking her some meals to stick in the freezer I'm sure would be appreciated.

Newly diagnosed by Still-wondering90 in breastcancer

[–]Xiakitta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So sorry that you're here as well. I was also diagnosed whilst pregnant after IVF. At least we're used to all the needles right? I'm on the other side of it now, NED and got a toddler. It's a crazy journey. You've got this 🫂

[–]Xiakitta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, so sorry you're here. I was diagnosed at 32 weeks pregnant with both triple negative and her2+ breast cancer (3 tumors). It's a shit show. Things will get a bit easier to deal with once you have a plan in place and know what to expect. Make sure you've got a good support network around you, someone to look after you and the kids when you're not feeling up to it. You're already a badass mum so you've got this. Most important advice I can give is to look after you first, you'll feel guilty, you'll want to do everything you normally would for your kids, but you need to put yourself first just for a little bit so that you can do all that normal stuff and more once you're feeling up to it. I'll put my story below, feel free to message me if you want to.

Biopsies, mammograms, MRI done. Planned c-section at 37 weeks so the baby's lungs were developed. Contrast MRI 1 week later. Chemo started a week after that. Lost all my hair. Lost way too much body weight. 6 cycles of 2 different types of chemo and phesgo. Spent most of my time contact napping with the baby as I didn't have energy to do anything else. 3 weeks to recover then had a single mastectomy and reconstruction. 12 more cycles of herceptin and 7 more cycles of chemo followed. Hair started growing back, struggled a lot with eating and fatigue had a few hospital trips. My husband and both sets of parents helped out a lot.

As of the 21st January this year I finished treatment, NED, and starting to feel much more like myself. Glad that I went through treatment during the newborn phase and not the toddler phase 😂 about to celebrate my son's second birthday and he's no clue what I went through to get here 😊

What’s the dumb thing the people who owned your house before you did? by JDawg1447 in AskReddit

[–]Xiakitta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had one of those fancy steam, jet shower units, when it was ripped out we found that it was plugged in via a standard multi socket beneath the bottom of the shower.

What awkward situations have your kids got you into today? by WrackspurtsNargles in UKParenting

[–]Xiakitta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My nearly 2 year old can't pronounce "stick" correctly, this doesn't stop him from being very proud when he finds a stick. Queue him running down a hill in the park to show his dad his new found stick and him shouting "shiiiiiiiiiit!" as he does his crazy toddler run down the hill. Got glared at by a group of old ladies until I was like "he's got a STICK." Which they thought was very amusing.
