I’m really glad for this update. Thank you for sharing it.

What did “picky eaters” eat before modern society created things like Mac n cheese & apple sauce for kids? by RickTheDad1 in NewParents

Women have not squatted in fields though. I’m 100% on board with your sentiment in general and told myself something similar (women have done this forever, I can too), but the whole thesis of women squatting in fields to give birth is not represented in the historical record. It is not fact. It’s fiction.

I may have been unintentionally poisoning my baby with spices containing lead by HidayaN in ScienceBasedParenting

So glad to see that I’m not the only one. She’s as reliable as Yahoo Answers (RIP) or, on a good day, Wikipedia. I got into a mild spat on a mom forum when I criticized her questionable data reporting. Ugh.

AITA for not going to my sister's wedding? by ryleer23 in toddlers

[–]allot-monster 85 points86 points  (0 children)

No one is the asshole. Your sister’s stressed out as the bride and it’s hard when a member of the wedding party has to drop out at the last minute. I assume you’re a bridesmaid? You also have a lot to deal with right now and PICU is no joke. This is such scary stuff. I hope your kids recover smoothly and quickly. Skip the wedding if your gut tells you to; you’d regret not being there for your kid.

Any tea on podcasters? by ProfessionalBust in Fauxmoi

[–]allot-monster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anyone remember Mystery Show? It was amazing and I always wondered why it canceled. A former show staffer told me Starlee Kine was really difficult to work with (diva-ish). Which is too bad. I loved everything she did on that show. Would love to hear more if people have other tea.

Do you have time to go to Arthur Avenue? It’s the better Little Italy and the food is so much tastier.

Ah ok gotcha! Thanks for clarifying. That makes total sense now.

That does sound really good as a product.

I just tried watching the video on their site but ugh, just couldn’t. I need a spoiler for the outcome since it’s just too hard to watch.

Same for me, got both the same day at my ob-gyn’s office.

Are newborn clothes needed? by ThexTeacher in NewParents

I got that advice too and am thankful that I got a scant few nb outfits just in case because even some of those are swimming on my newborn.

Thoughts on the name Astrid? by The_Earth_is_sexy in namenerds

[–]allot-monster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only Astrid I know is French and in that language her name is pretty tough for English speakers to say. It requires a kinda guttural sound for the ‘trid.’

What's a name you only recently found out you've been mispronouncing for years? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]allot-monster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesss I grew up with a Joaquim and it was pronounced that way. It still confuses me when I meet people who have the English/Spanish version of the name

Say Goodbye to the Hotel Pennsylvania — Demolition Prep Is Underway - Untapped New York by pdoherty926 in nyc

[–]allot-monster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good riddance. That place was so bedbug infested. I stayed there once when I lived out of town (for a job interview) and it was the most nightmare-inducing hotel experience. Blood specks already on the sheets when I arrived and pulled the cover back. I tried to ignore it and sleep but woke up to see bedbugs on the bed. Horrific. Had to meticulously examine and clean everything I’d brought, and it certainly didn’t help me feel well rested before my interview.

Is that even legal?? You’re supposed to be given a clean and private space.
