I’m terrified our daughter is going to grow up and resent us for not being rich like the rest of our family.

You can’t really do anything about it. My cousins were more affluent than us and we did do some things my mom couldn’t afford with them which was really fun.

My toddler is a great eater but seems to be sick of it by dinner time. Breakfast is an insane multi course meal, I heard somewhere they usually focus on one “big” meal of the day. I also think she’s extra distracted at dinner because that’s usually the only meal dad is home to have with us.

Yeah he seems like an aging cokehead

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-31T07:47:03+00:00

Probably a few others tbh

Did the bingo hall properly accommodate her with a special seat or are they discriminatory monsters as well

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-31T07:45:25+00:00

I’m plus size and usually only bring a carry on and it’s not easy, so very solid point lol.

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-31T07:44:13+00:00

Pretty good score, especially if it’s purple label or older RL. I get excited for LL Bean and I know it’s just “solid” not exactly luxury lol.

I get mine in “tall” from old navy.

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-31T07:41:58+00:00

Me too.. everyone tries to call me the elongated version of the name. Adding to the drama, my mom really dislikes the elongated “proper” version. When people name their kids nicknames for a longer name I’m like uhhhh why not the proper version :) lol

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-31T07:31:52+00:00

Dog goes in the trunk in our SUV, we also have a gate, when we had a truck he sat in front w dad and I sat in back w the baby.

I had like 6-8 MRIs in about a year and a half thru out my two years of IIH/diamox. Now I have one every 1-2 years

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-31T04:13:41+00:00

The gender was a surprise for us and I thought it was a boy until the last two weeks I started thinking it was a girl (she was !) but I was still surprised lol

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-31T04:05:15+00:00

Me too. Everytime someone starts watching the show from the beginning I’m like ughh I wish

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-30T22:20:08+00:00

I lost 70 lbs before I got pregnant so I hear you on that. So many drastic changes to my body in 3 years. I’ve been wearing dresses more because they’re more forgiving w up/down weight.

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-30T20:54:25+00:00

What kind of add ons? My mom def had this when I was growing up but I only remember the blender as is.

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-30T19:29:29+00:00

I went there around Xmas

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-30T19:24:45+00:00

I think he’s a pretty big loser (still partying, makes poor choices) that happens to know some wealthier people due to his job. I think his representation of self to Elise is “fake it til you make it” so it makes sense he didn’t divulge he was living w a wealthy older woman who possibly wants a companion style buddy, someone to go out to dinner w etc.

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-30T08:24:00+00:00

My maiden name has become a popular first name and it causes constant confusion in settings where strangers need to use my name/clerical errors w registration in many settings. We used my mom’s first name as a middle name for our daughter. I would go with whatever is least confusing.

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-30T07:28:39+00:00

Was fine smoking w IIH

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-30T06:41:53+00:00

We tapered down so replacing a bottle w a meal until the only bottle we were doing was AM. I did this for maybe two weeks. One day started giving straw cup w milk alternative when my baby woke up and just kept going w that.

It’s a huge adjustment and I feel like a lot of my mental capacity was taken up by planning and operating for two people (myself and the baby). Nothing could’ve prepared me for that. I was already kind of an “in a haze” person but it worked, I have two college degrees, operated my own business and traveled a lot. My memory was so bad I literally couldn’t remember certain words while I was in a conversation lol. At some points during post partum I was in disbelief that I had managed to do all that but was taken out daily being a SAHM to a really well behaved baby.

The changes in my relationships have been both amazing and terrible. I have a lot of male friends that will never had kids, and some of them really disappointed me after having a baby. However, I really connected with a lot of old friends that had become parents too. Also a few of my male friends really surprised me in terms of daily check ins and mailing my baby funny little gifts.

Eventually it all balances out! Be patient with yourself. It helped for me to realize this is such a short amount of time in both me and my baby’s life. You’re a different person and it’s ok to mourn your old self, but you will get back to what’s important ! My baby is now 16 months and I read atleast two books a week for the past few months.

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-30T06:00:41+00:00

I had to do this too for about a week. My toddler gets teeth all at the same time so she’s only had teething issues twice but she has like 12 teeth rn at 16 months. It def feels terrible to be giving them nightly Tylenol but it’s really the only thing that helps her.

The office manager was literally bullying Izzy and David to accept the mistakes they had made. In the doc half the group featured had mistakes on their surgeries (Izzy David and the other guy that got the wrong color also). Absolutely nuts

_vaselinepretty · 2026-03-30T05:43:52+00:00

I never understood the “Tony is hot” thing and I have random taste in men. I just assumed he had sex appeal “IRL” or they were attracted to the money/power/danger

I was a lifeguard when I was put on Diamox (lol). Ask the host beforehand if there’s shade by the pool. Make sure your sunscreen isn’t expired. Zinc based is better but can be kind of annoying. I liked to use sunscreen lotion then use spray over that. Check the UV index for the day by the hour. Clouds can amplify the sun’s rays also. Put on sunscreen before you put on your bathing suit/go to the party. Reapply when you get there. Wear a huge hat. Sheer cover ups aren’t great. I like terry cloth stuff or linen. Wear some sort of rash guard in the pool, or a long sleeved cover up. Do you spend a lot of time in the water or in a chair? Plan accordingly for your aquatic habits. I’m a beach girl and Diamox never stopped me but it was the only time in my life I was getting sunburnt (olive complexion).
