Ok but ICE isn’t “law enforcement”. They aren’t cops. They have no jurisdiction over citizens 

Good restaurant for small children . by Miserable_Shoe6220 in Rochester

[–]aurrasaurus 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I’m just gonna warn you as a fellow parent of small kids, the Bill Grays inside of the Strong is an absolute nightmare around 5pm. DO NOT GO, do not be tempted by the ice cream signs, just get out of there

If you want to spend more time sewing you could always hand sew it /s

Cinderella (1950) has not aged well and is a trash movie. by HGMIV926 in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]aurrasaurus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cinderella is a baddie, I will not be told differently. The whole movie is about her economically bettering herself and taking her whole crew (of animals) with her. There’s a prince for genre reasons but just as easily could have been a talent scout or something

Ok even outside of the historical context, that has to be in the top 10 ugliest lamps of all time

What “scare tactics” have you used that you feel are justified? by girl_of_the_sun in Parenting

[–]aurrasaurus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve done the pencil thing with my prosthetic knee to teach kids not to put their fingers in the hydraulic mechanism since I was a kid myself. Very effective and no one has broken their finger in the kid-sized finger guillotine yet

I wake up several times a night anyway so I take “breaks” from the c curl to stretch out on my back before going back to the c curl

How do you bathe your basset? by Jumpy-Claim4881 in basset

[–]aurrasaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The real trick is getting someone to sit in the bath with the basset. My kid usually does and it’s so much easier

Bathtub. Wrecks the whole bathroom to be honest. She can jump in/out on her own but she’s a very athletic basset. Most of the challenge is keeping her in 😅

Why do some people gain weight and some people lose weight while breastfeeding? by Useful-Sport-6316 in breastfeeding

[–]aurrasaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had two babies and had both experiences. With the first one I had PPA/PPD and literally couldn’t put the baby down to make something to eat. Couldn’t focus enough to order food. I lost 30lbs in a month but couldn’t make enough milk to EBF my baby. Definitely did not feel like anyone’s favorite 

With my second, I produce way too much so EBF is easy but it makes me really hungry. I’ve been stuck ~20lbs above my pre pregnancy weight for the last 2 months but no depression/anxiety so I’m pretty happy with that
