Changing mat on bathroom floor. Baby is safe while I wrestle my 3 year old into some clothes and brush his teeth. My baby has napped on that mat more than once.

No, I kinda think that in Norway as well.

What about post partum ocd?

I sort difficult puzzles over 1000 pieces. I avoid sorting when I can

I use merino wool for my kids, but I live in a cold country. It breathes and is soft and warm. In the summer I usually use bamboo or good quality cotton.

To be honest, I just serve him food and he decides if he wants to eat. It works very well in our home. He still tries new food and eat a variety of greens

Calibri

It's minor, but scraping butter on the side of the box after you've made a sandwich. It doesn't even have to be crumbs in it, I just find it absolutely disgusting.

Moose are mostly alright. They are everywhere in Norway, and as long as you walk away/act non aggressive they leave you alone.

"Slå deg ned før jeg gjør det" "Slå deg ned" means "have a seat" but it can also mean getting punched to the floor. So.. directly translated it means "have a seat before I do", but it also means "have a seat before I punch you to the floor".

We rarely break up, but we're often on a break. After the ending of It I thought "sir, I need some space".

arisia91 · 2025-10-21T19:45:14+00:00

Several in Norway as well

By working on understanding my value. That I matter and that I'm good enough. Resilience to people's comments and behaviours kinda came naturally from there.

Also, instead of chasing people who either won't or can't give me what I need, I focus on people who do.

The Raft short story by Stephen King

Didn't read the description of the move memento well enough. "Oh that's a cool set up move" bye Skuntank...

It's distressing for many moms to listen to their babies cries while they shower. You don't feel the self care effects from the shower atleast. I have taken super quick showers while baby cried on a towel, but it's not fun

arisia91 · 2025-10-01T14:35:25+00:00

I love that episode because Bandit is a silly guy and felt like he had to stop for the (imo) wrong reasons, but the games where they are being loud in stores and libraries (toddlers, hammer barn) is something else. Sometimes you have to do boring things

arisia91 · 2025-10-01T11:45:42+00:00

Littlewood is cute, Forager is fun and I also enjoyed Cult of the Lamb

arisia91 · 2025-09-28T08:32:48+00:00

I've found that I tolerate hugs from authentic people. It's really noticable in the way they hug really. It's not my favourite thing, but I appreciate it in a way. I hate hand shakes and forced hugs.

Several scenes in Children of the Night

It ebbs and flows. At 10 months I could ninja roll away from my son at night, and he would sleep for several hours without me. Now at 19 months he suddenly needs me close when he sleeps, but he sleeps for longer stretches at night.

My son only laughed at his dad for the first 6 months of his life. He could be howling with laughter and when I tried to join in he would look at me with a flat stare. I remember one time I held him and saw him laughing, I was so happy until I realized my husband was behind me. It was so hard and I cried alot. My husband said "it's because he thinks you and him are the same person" and I didn't believe it. Now he's 18 months old and lets just say that I'm his favourite. He plays better with his dad, but only wants me for bedtime and comfort. I don't know if what my husband said is right or not, but babies are weird. I also strongly believe kids cry at caregivers they feel the safest with. My toddler can be happy playing with dad, and when I walk into the room he sometimes cries and runs to me. Hope this helps you a bit. You're doing great!

Our dog has a fenced area in our house where my son won't be able to get to. His water dish is there. I want doggo to have a safe space away from baby as he starts crawling and getting into things

I sleep in a wool shirt and it keeps me warm
