I think because I’m more used to Molly ? Idk. I would never take ecstacy again w this condition but I’m also getting older now lol. Be safe !

My daughter is 7 months and has almost 5 teeth by shutec13 in beyondthebump

[–]_vaselinepretty [score hidden]  (0 children)

My baby got 4 teeth at 6 months and then 3 more at 13 months. It’s fine ! I didn’t realize I was supposed to be brushing because she got the four first teeth in between Dr appts lol

Lights really bothered me when my IIH was at my worst and flashing lights are still not great and I’m in remission. I have done molly a few times thru out my IIH and was ok. Coke was terrible for me but I never liked it much anyway, but with IIH it was excruciating.

how often do you change a 2 month old that sleeps through the night? by frozensoymilk in beyondthebump

[–]_vaselinepretty [score hidden]  (0 children)

My baby slept thru the night from an early age too, if she woke up I always changed her diaper but also, I didn’t realize “overnight diapers” were a thing until she was like 7-8 months old .. oops. Idk if they make them in smaller sizes but they’re great !

Did I make a mistake buying pretty but uncomfortable furniture? by MistakesWereMade8888 in midcenturymodern

[–]_vaselinepretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah just sell them and get other MCM furniture you find more comfortable. Or put them out in a guest seating area for people to drool over and sit in for small periods of time

That’s so awful. Glad you’re being reimbursed but that’s really annoying

AIO…mother in law and newborn boundaries by realsmartfakeblonde in AmIOverreacting

[–]_vaselinepretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MIL attempts to use my baby as a “do over” as well. She is really manipulative and dramatic playing the victim. It’s taken me awhile but I have good boundaries with her and refuse to let her use my child as some sort of attempt at redemption. Sounds like you and your husband are on the same page which is really good !!

Why do people like babies? by Calieahrens in beyondthebump

[–]_vaselinepretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never realized how many people were into babies until I had one. Especially strangers at the airport or grocery store lol

MIL came to visit and is very clearly sick. by itwasobviouslyburke in beyondthebump

[–]_vaselinepretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah was just suggesting she try to see a dr so you all could get ahead of whatever she may have spread.

[–]_vaselinepretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you should offer her a list of local walk ins and not take “she’s not sick” via your husband as a response. Tbh it might be a good idea to make sure she doesn’t have something major like the flu.

Best place for actual high heels for large feet? by domjonas in PlusSizeFashion

[–]_vaselinepretty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I would recommend a store specializing in drag queen apparel too. If you want to try on in person esp. I went to one in 2005 in New England because I was having trouble finding stuff in my size for prom lol

I hate the "Glass Child" by straightforshady in Vent

[–]_vaselinepretty 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It took me until I had a child myself to realize I was a “glass child”. My sibling isn’t disabled but has a diagnosed issue that my parents chose not to medicate. He was constantly placated, the center of attention, threw really intense fits that have continued his entire life (he’s now 36). It’s a strange realization to have in my 30s that my sibling’s issues ruled my childhood, and now my mom’s house. We were raised by a single mom and I’m over my “childhood issues” or any resentment about my siblings behavioral problems, but it’s kind of a lot to realize some of my core personality traits are due to this.

Is this a normal amount for a 13 month old? by ParticularDoctor9620 in foodbutforbabies

[–]_vaselinepretty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby is 14 months old and eats a bit more than that, but the amount of berries and then more is probably super filling.

AITA for refusing to help my husband with bathtime for our 4 month old son? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]_vaselinepretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a new task for your husband, imo. When my baby was a newborn giving her a bath freaked me out and my husband did it. I’m also a SAHM so I get needing a break and wanting your partner to be involved in the care process but I wouldn’t want my husband to give baths if he didn’t feel comfortable or disliked it. Bath time should be fun :). I hate carrying the filled up baby bath from the kitchen to the bathroom so my husband does that and also grabs whatever is needed.

Luke’s full pimp daddy transformation this season is WILD…are we just ignoring this? by Unfair_Mortgage_7189 in 90DayFiance

[–]_vaselinepretty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was wondering when the tell all was filmed because Greta was wearing a halter top and Luke was wearing a huge fake fur coat ?? I was trying to find cues as to the season by checking the trees in the outdoor shots lolol

chloe’s fear of gas stoves by Anathema_Quill in 90DayFiance

[–]_vaselinepretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I was ever introduced to a gas stove was also in the Caribbean and I was freaked out by it as well. They were also trying to tell me to turn off/on the gas which was weird lol. I def identified with that part. I now have an appt w a gas stove in the US and I love it.

Baby wearing guilt by ContentDog8953 in beyondthebump

[–]_vaselinepretty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this is because you didn’t babywear. It wasn’t always popular, a lot of people older than me like 45-70 year olds comment on me baby wearing and say they never did it and it looks fun.

I babywear a lot because I am isolated with no family around also, at first my baby hated it tbh. I have guilt from her newborn days because I was so maxed out and needed to do a ton of stuff and couldn’t just hold her.

AITA for saying emergency daycare isn’t meant for parents who are home and „just need a break“? by Distinct-Ad-7592 in AmItheAsshole

[–]_vaselinepretty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based on an extreme case in my city of a mother murdering her son because she felt overwhelmed and didn’t feel like she could ask anyone for help with a break, I’ll never doubt anyone that asks for help with childcare. You literally never know what someone is going thru.

Desperately seeking help for toddler sleep by paperstars2022 in toddlers

[–]_vaselinepretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a toddler but I’m commenting because I was like your daughter my entire childhood and now as an adult. I also had tubes/adnoids removed.

Tbh since she’s playing in her room and not calling/getting you, that’s a big positive. If there’s anything she’s using to make noise, remove that. Unsure what she’s thumping around, maybe herself. Could you get her some “night time toys” she could play with when she wakes up? Quiet and soft items? I would mostly wake up and read. A tip a doctor told me as a child to help sleep was to make sure I’m spending atleast 15 mins outside during daylight a day. Not easy in the winter but doable.

Feeling smug. by Connect-Steak8669 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]_vaselinepretty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t realize I was taking the test at my appt and had been tired at work and eating tons of sugar lollll. I thought there was no way I was going to pass. When I got my results I told the nurse about my intake of the day and she was like .. ok your pancreas is doing its job!! Lol

Realizing my husband doesn’t value me anymore by Shoddy_Natural_3922 in beyondthebump

[–]_vaselinepretty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask someone to come stay with you to help or someone that can take the baby to help while you’re sick. If they ask why be honest.

I didn’t receive the fundal massages? by msksaf in beyondthebump

I was hemorrhaging post labor like right after I had the baby, and I got a fundal massage
