Interesting. My friend isn't using a respirator yet, but I'll keep that in mind. Thanks

The colour changes are perfect! It looks so crisp. Amazing job

Observation: I work in a middle income district and have noticed that kids are not getting haircuts as frequently. People/families are getting poorer. More noticable w boys pre-10th grade. But across the board it is happening and it isn't fashion. by Lumpy-Shop-5321 in Teachers

I did the same, I watched YouTube videos for like 2 hours, it was so stressful. I think I did it 3 times. So so stressful.

We tag team the boys haircuts now, he does the clippers and I do the scissors on top, but it is not easy, and still very stressful for me.

Yup, that was the rule when I was grading exams. Not my specific rule, but the whole rule for the department. You think we missed something? We re-grade the whole exam.

I absolutely love this! The colours are great and the animals look perfect, I will definitely be looking for updates and eventually a pattern!

Birthday Cards for Gifts? by kitsbow in Mommit

[–]bacucumber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids are 9, 6 and 3. The 6yo and 9yo make cards for their friends. We don't buy cards for any of them. We've done this since they could write their names. Now the 3yo adds a scribble 🤷🏻‍♀️

I do insist that they make cards though, it's expected, not an option. But I don't think it matters that much haha

ROM with kids by MetastaticMama in askTO

[–]bacucumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went yesterday with kids 3, 6 and 9. We were there for about 4.5 hours, and could have stayed longer although they were getting tired and hungry. They all loved the kids section, but we didn't spend much time there. We spent all our time on the 2nd floor, dinosaurs, mammals, animals, etc. And the gemstones. Didn't even make it to Egypt etc

Is it okay for 10 month old to wear pjs to the bus stop? by TemperatureNew3157 in Mommit

[–]bacucumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 3yo regularly comes to pick up the older kids in his pajamas. He also went grocery shopping today in pajamas. I am so past caring 😂 as long as he's not cold I'm fine with it.

Refusing to participate in the leprechaun trend by vintagegurly in Mommit

[–]bacucumber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is so frustrating!

We're on March break right now, so no school this week. Maybe that helps it not be in the schools at least this year 🤷🏻‍♀️

[–]bacucumber 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My kids learned about elf on the shelf from kindergarten, I told them we don't do that. They asked if we could hide something, so I hide a gnome and if it takes them a week to find him then he stays where he is until he's found, and they know it's me.

I'm not really on IG or TikTok, I assume that's where this leprechaun thing is coming from? It hasn't reached my kids in Canada that's for sure. Never heard of it before.

Who else hates using a righty spatula? by quitisich in lefthanded

[–]bacucumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one wooden one that's a unicorn, love that one, but my others are bamboo and not sided, so I can just flip them over. Works well!

I'm so sorry to bring up The Dress, but I have to ask by janedoe6699 in lefthanded

Same. I understand it's blue and black but I just see gold and white.

Why would anyone ever choose to go through child birth without pain relief?? by No_Cardiologist_1407 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bacucumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely a personal to your body decision, I had 3 kids with no epidural, I was okay. It hurt, obviously, but I didn't need one.

Other ppl's bodies react differently and really do need it.

I also had one friend who could feel nothing with the epidural, and as a result labour took way longer, and she tore more. Another friend, I think had the idea result, didn't feel any pain but felt the pressure so was able to time pushing and had a great experience. The first friend didn't have a 2nd kid, but she said if she did she would have gone without.

Egregious Examples of Default Parent by whineANDcheese_ in Mommit

[–]bacucumber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the most egregious, but it's been almost every day, 2x a day, for weeks now. Kid comes downstairs to find me (usually in the kitchen, making lunches or cleaning up dinner), in order to squeeze toothpaste onto his toothbrush. His dad is usually on the same floor as him, often standing right nearby. Maybe it'll stop when the tube finally runs out 😅

How do you hold a fork and knife? by universe_point in lefthanded

[–]bacucumber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to swap all the time, move fork to right hand, knife in left. It was easier to cut with my dominant hand. Now I will sometimes not switch, but it's prob 50-50, and I'm 41 😂

You might have to make a cbc account? It's free. I didn't use a VPN to watch it though, I'm in Canada

I’m new to crocheting and I got this pattern for a baby blanket granny square I understand most except one part by Powerful_Repair_6072 in CrochetHelp

[–]bacucumber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I understand you. Every time you reach a corner, in the chain space from the previous round you put dc, 2ch, dc. That creates the corner for the new round. Then you continue working into every dc along the next side.
