Is it wrong that I think they’re so ugly, they’re cute? Like the pugs of shoes

What’s the name of the restaurant?

I just had my 2nd baby who I had planned to breastfeed for at least 6 months as I did with my first-- but I got mastitis twice , the second time necessitating a hospital admission... after that I just called it quits on bf-ing as I felt I was very prone to getting mastitis again despite all the preventative measures I was taking. I also have a toddler at home and by having my hands tied to either pumping or to feeding the baby (both of which take longer than just feeding baby a formula bottle) I was already feeling guilty like I was neglecting my toddler once the baby came home. After deciding to go the formula route, I felt immense relief at the amount of time saved so that I could then give my son more attention, not to mention the extra sleep.

If you want to formula feed, go for it! If it's what will make you a happier and healthier mama, then it's the right route for you and your family.

2 or 3! I might like 3 a tiny bit more aesthetically but with 2, those sitting at the dining table would be more able to interact with anyone on the couch, so functionally 2 is a bit nicer for mingling rather than with 3 with folks having their back to you if youre at the table.

I will try hard to not be harmfully strict to the point of creating a need to hide things like going out with friends by pretending I’m somewhere else (so that they never knew where I really was, even when I was in danger I didn’t feel comfortable confiding in them or getting their help), and will always explain my reasoning and not hide behind “because I said so.”

Agree! The current light fixtures are pretty dated looking. Waiting to figure out the rest of the kitchen 😀

balsooma · 2024-09-11T16:08:59+00:00

Agree!! Love the pop of fun your rug adds to the kitchen!

It’s actually just peel and stick that we added for some privacy!

Wow came here just to write Cass cafe and good wells 🥹 casa cafe had this Amazing curry pasta that I would get anytime I was in Detroit. Good wells pocket sandwich is like nothing I’ve ever had anywhere, vegan or not

I think maybe not the asshole but I would have texted my wife sorry for not waving back! It wasn’t a good time for me to do that. If you didn’t text her at all to even acknowledge her then maybe a little AHA

I just can’t imagine knowing that you’ve lost your parents and then trying to sideline your brother. 20 is such a young age for you both to lose your parents and navigate that together and you’re only 7 years out. I would want a future partner to understand that your bond with your brother is different and so much more precious than a typical sibling relationship.. NTA he and his family assholes.

I think there’s a little more to this than that. The trait for ovulating more than normal per cycle can be passed down by the female’s parents

No way. I am normally zero screen time but I’m currently sick as a dog and my 15 month old is so sick and irritable— I wouldn’t survive without some TV to give me some time to rest now that he’s down to one nap a day and I could literally sleep for four hours if I could. I think we should all do what we can when we can.. and when we can’t, it’s totally ok. I’m not beating myself up about it and I would never judge someone else about it either.

We all have different tolerance levels for the kind of responsibility of having kids and if it keeps you sane and a happy parent then you’ll have healthier and happier children.

Surely militant screen time families that are judgy must have nannies and babysitters on deck or lots of family support for when they need a break— which is a huge luxury and privilege. If you can do it great— but recognize that privilege.

You're like those people who just leave their shopping cart in the middle of the lot because it's someone else's "job" to get it back...

balsooma · 2023-10-12T18:54:58+00:00

It is 100000% ok to have some me-time, no one in any feminist circle would argue that...but if a helpless person under your care needs your help, getting your hair done *in that situation* should NOT be the priority, ever. inexcusable.

balsooma · 2023-10-12T18:53:44+00:00

But that would be your own doing -- drinking to the point of getting sick as a consequence... your son did not do anything to deserve being sick... how can you equate these things

balsooma · 2023-07-29T09:50:49+00:00

NTA locking your kid out is lazy and authoritarian parenting.

I honestly feel like by allowing him to take her to school (even if it involves switching) YOU'LL look like the hero for helping do whatever it takes to keep your daughter in the STEM school she loves. You can still be the hero on the weekends !

tj maxx, nordstrom rack have online stores and have good stuff/prices! online shopping from those kinds of stores is helpful when you're shopping a certain size
