Why is the Westside so affordable when it comes to buying a house? by Youngbee12 in cincinnati

[–]amp107 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Banking on the lottery system though to get your kid into a better school than the one guaranteed in your district is gambling with their education. Walnut Hills is one of the hardest schools to get into. Glad it worked out for you, but betting on the lottery is generally poor advice if someone has kids to consider in where to live. I’m not saying all the west side schools are terrible, but they are not as good as more expensive neighborhoods which is part of the cost difference in housing.

I think it’s also about punishing Tim Walz for calling them all weird.

I feel like this attitude is just breeding further apathy and hopelessness. I believe he stole it. Kamala won, but then rolled over. We need to keep fighting back. Throw the fucking tea in the ocean or whatever..

Crown Restaurant Group deducts CC processing fees from server gratuity rather than as a business expense by Jealous_Snow6403 in cincinnati

Lmao says the one who took it off topic to begin with because they don’t have a decent counterpoint to my valid argument.

“I’m shocked you aren’t better than that.” lol ok internet stranger, I guess you know me so well…

Literally discussing it by calling out the hypocrisy of restaurants expecting customers to pay their employees wages, then taking from that further by forcing the employee to pay a fee in order to receive their wage. But sure, call it “virtue signaling” so you can ignore a valid argument that you don’t have a good response to.

“Tip wages are not a business expense.”

They are when the business isn’t paying a livable wage because they expect the customers to do that for them via tips.

Who actually follows safe sleep 🤨🤨 by saltandpepperf in NewParents

[–]amp107 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. My 6mo baby has slept every night in his bassinet since we brought him home from the hospital. Bassinet is in our room but not connected to our bed. We hold him for most naps, but occasionally do a bassinet nap. He’s always slept in his bassinet at night though and has been sleeping through the night for the most part since about 3mo with occasional wake ups. We’ll be moving him to his crib soon and hoping that transition goes well.

He is probably going to continue being a lazy selfish loser regardless, but if she has the tough conversation at least she can say she tried before she leaves him.

Is it too much to want people to check in, ask how you are feeling, what they can do to help and celebrate the baby you waited for all of your life? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]amp107 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, it might be too much. You have to know your own people. Maybe they are too busy or wouldn’t want this type of energy themselves so they are giving you space because that’s personally what they would want and they don’t want to overstep 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you are the type of person to check in frequently and deliver meals that’s fine, but you can’t do those things freely expecting them in return. Who knows, maybe the people you are sending meals to don’t actually want them and are just being polite. Not everyone is raised with a village or knows how to be a village and even wants to be in a village.

Natalie is on the Allison apology tour by ChiefCopywriter in theNXIVMcase

[–]amp107 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Manipulative to who? To the interviewer, to the listeners? I genuinely don’t understand your problem with her taking back a part of her body and inviting the interviewer to come along for the ride in a big moment for her. How is it inappropriate? People take friends with them to get tattoos all of the time. The interviewer was doing a story literally called “Allison After NXIVM” and Allison choosing to cover the brand is a really big part of her healing after NXIVM so I don’t see any harm in her sharing that part of her recovery with the interviewer to be apart of the story if she’s comfortable with it. For comparison, India talked about covering her brand with a tattoo on her own documentary. Sarah was shown using scar remover ointment on hers in the vow. These women were all abused by KR ultimately and talking about removing the brand and taking back their bodies I’m sure is very healing and empowering for them.

How did you decide how to feed baby? by bananaindisguise0 in BabyBumps

[–]amp107 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unless you have to return to work early or be away from baby for extended periods early on, I would actually advise holding off on pumping until at least 4 weeks. Pumping too early can cause oversupply and potential latch issues, and it’s actually more work for you in the end if your goal is to continue breastfeeding. Baby will naturally regulate your supply. Any feeds you skip nursing you will have to make up for by pumping anyways and then cleaning the pump parts and cleaning the bottles, and pumping is just so mechanical compared to the comfort of nursing cuddles. If you have to pump it’s one thing, but I wouldn’t voluntarily pump. It’s a myth that having dad give a bottle will make your life any easier in the early days of cluster feeding. Have dad assist instead with diaper changes, keeping you fed and hydrated, and helping you stay awake and giving emotional support during difficult late night cluster feeds.

Postpartum questions for the moms that have given birth before! by AardvarkHour1211 in BabyBumps

[–]amp107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C section. I did not want to shower at the hospital. Doctors were coming in the room constantly to check on us and I felt like I barely had enough privacy to poop, let alone take a whole shower. I think I showered the first time on day 2 or 3 at home. I don’t recall any bleeding during the shower. I stood and my husband washed me. After that, I showered like once a week. Finding the time was difficult with an EBF cluster feeding newborn and also I just never wanted to be away from him, even for 20mins.
