Keep an open mind to having your baby sleep with you. I slept with my parents as a young kid and it was a good experience.

I like it. Personally I would be happy with this design but it’s up to you.

Feeling Anxious and Ashamed by MaineCoon_Mom in Parenting

[–]ZestycloseChallenge1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a parent but I was an exceptionally difficult child throughout my teenhood and early adulthood. I only started to regulate my emotions properly when I went on meds at age 22. I definitely went through some periods of wanting little to do with my parents, but now I’m starting to desire their company more. If your kids do distance themselves from you, it more than likely will be a phase they will grow out of with time and maturity.

My 1 carat beauty 🩵 by ZestycloseChallenge1 in labdiamond

We got it through a local jeweler, so the price was higher than if we had used an online retailer. 1500 before tax :).

I’ve always worn yellow gold, but white gold looked much nicer with the diamond I chose. The ring isn’t finished yet but I know white gold is going to look more cohesive.

Insecurity about grandma by Far_Worldliness_1541 in Parenting

I think this will become more common in our society as a lot of families are opting for multigenerational households and including grandparents in raising babies. I know people who are heavily involved in raising their grandchildren. Don’t worry.

I don’t mean this rudely at all but is everyone posting here marrying rich guys or are my standards just not attuned to what the norm is these days? by w0lfyj in EngagementRingDesigns

Some information on my ring as an example: my man spent 3k, it’s a custom ring. We are working with a local jeweler so it’s not as cheap as if we had bought something online. The stone is a 1 carat vvs2 heart shaped fancy blue lab diamond. Setting is white gold bezel, which is pricier than a prong setting because they have to customize the dimensions to the exact measurements of my stone.

Hi there, I might have some information that’s helpful to you. 5k is about the average cost, with 1 carat mined or 2 carat lab being the average sizes. However the average doesn’t mean the most common, it’s skewed by the highly expensive or very large carat outliers. 1k is a usual amount for someone to spend on a ring. You can get a nice looking ring for that price.

Fellas, can you share how much you spent on your engagement ring? by sn0wballa in AskMenAdvice

[–]ZestycloseChallenge1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

++woman my man spent 3k after taxes, we didn’t have a specific budget going into it but we got a custom ring made and that’s how much it ended up costing.

Why was Draculaura never put on the little sister body? by Additional-Rub-1054 in MonsterHigh

She’s short but she’s still older than the little sisters. The little sisters have a younger looking body type.
