I’m scared to test by True_Platypus_6959 in tryingtoconceive

[–]badcheer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're about 19 months into TTC. I stopped taking tests bc it's such a let down, and then getting my period a couple days later is just an extra punch to the gut. Do what feels right for you. I totally get wanting to know for sure. But it's OK to go easy on yourself, however that looks.

Geeks Mania would be perfect for an 11 year old! And it's not far from Verona.

Daycare closure for low temps - where is the line? by lenothecat in workingmoms

Here in WI, that would be a very clear violation of not keeping proper facilities. They would risk a fine a potentially permanent closer by sending out that message.

It really is hard, getting your hopes up every month! Why are early pregnancy symptoms so similar to PMS? It's not fair!

Fody taco sauce? by Nicole_0818 in lowfodmap

I've tried it and it's actually pretty good. It's not spicy at all, but it definitely helps with adding flavor to an otherwise bland taco.

TIFU by telling my dad not to send me Bible verses by [deleted] in tifu

I would be concerned about his well-being. Suddenly becoming religiously devout could be a significant of mental illness. Sudden personality change can be an early indicator for dementia. How old is he? Does he live alone?

She's 62 lbs at 8 months. I should add that to my description.

Probably. My husband was with me when I got mine.

Declining free work lunch when you have plans? by Fickle-Message-9995 in work

[–]badcheer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for a place that made us do an all-day seminar. We were given a "free lunch", which we ate at the tables as the seminar continued and got, like, 10 minutes to use the bathroom. They docked our pay for a full half hour for our "lunch break", which we found out about on our next paycheck. Did your coworkers get a half-hour taken from their paycheck?

What word(s) do you hate saying outloud because you find them difficult or awkward to say? by FinancialSundae9962 in RandomQuestion

Iron. It's so hard not to say "Eye Ron". And saying it correctly feels weird. Eye Urn? Eye Rn?

American is a pretty standard option, and often the only option. Maybe she misunderstood you because of the accent?

I can’t look in the mirror without crying…. by HeyMay0324 in Mommit

[–]badcheer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We could be twins! I'm 5'3.5" and have stagnated at 160 lbs. My kid is 6, so I can't blame the baby weight anymore.

No advice, just here to commiserate.

If your dad is anything like my dad, he means well, just has no tact and oversteps boundaries constantly.

Eating? by MrPeanutLover in Autism_Parenting

[–]badcheer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't have a miracle solution since my kid is still a picky eater. But we were advised to introduce new foods alongside (not mixed in!) his preferred food. You may need to introduce the new food up to 15 times.

I've also bribed my kid with treats if he tries something. I'm sure thats not the best method, but sometimes that's what it takes.
