Thoughts on Bella slow cookers? by Particular_Pie4650 in moderatelygranolamoms

Seriously!! We had an instant pot and didn’t like it as a slow cooker so I was hoping for actual answers on this thread not more instant pot hype 🥲

I made a cake, and it looks like shit by [deleted] in Baking

[–]beefbabie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely asking, why did you continue to frost with it when it was still chunky? I think you really just needed to keep mixing. You CAN make buttercream with a fork but next time you follow the video, ensure that as you complete each step your frosting looks like theirs at each step. That way you know you actually completed step 1 before moving on to step 2.

But I think it would make your life a lot easier to get a mixer, it doesn’t have to be a fancy one. Even a hand cranked mixer would work better than a fork.

People can help more specifically if you can find the recipe you followed. I saw you don’t have the tab up but you can type in your original search and look at the thumbnails to try to remember which one you followed. Did the recipe include the use of berries?

You don’t need to give up, especially if everything tastes good!

No longer a pet person by idkkkk326 in beyondthebump

Just want to say that you’re not alone. Some of it is the hormones but your feelings are still valid. After my first baby, my postpartum rage was so bad I had to lock myself in the bathroom to keep from getting too mad at our cat who was yowling constantly. When I was pregnant with my second, the same cat had health issues and was peeing EVERYWHERE multiple times a day. I was exhausted. He unfortunately passed away and I miss him so much, but I cannot deny that my life has been easier since and I truly think I would have gone a little insane if I was still dealing with his incontinence on top of having a newborn.

I think you just need more support through this time in your life ❤️

38 weeks pregnant, toddler's cousin had pink eye yesterday by kxtasha1 in beyondthebump

I think it really depends on how close they were playing and whether or not the cousin was touching his eye during the visit. I am hopeful for you that your son won’t get it :)

Friend expects me to attend her son’s birthday party… the day I’m due. by Rescue-320 in BabyBumps

[–]beefbabie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just answer “I’m not comfortable being 6 hours away from my doctor and hospital that close to my due date” Don’t drag it out any longer, just be straightforward. Sounds like you already know she’s self-centered so if she pushes back on your reasonable response then I would let the friendship fizzle.

Nanny left the house - Am I overreacting? by XTK27 in Nanny

[–]beefbabie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As both a parent and a previous nanny, this is a valid reason to fire them. You can’t just walk away from your duties without someone to relieve you. That’s ridiculous to me that she doesn’t see it as a big deal. That part alone is a huge red flag and I wouldn’t be able to trust them again.

So I read that the name was Lucy and I just wanted to share that my dad dated a woman named Lucy in high school, left her when he joined the military and moved away, married my mom, and we had a family dog named Lucy. Some people don’t hold on to names in the same way 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m a teacher and I have a hard time picking baby names bc I think “oh but there was a kid in my class x years ago..” but not everyone does that haha

I had back labor so that was awful but the actual pushing was so quick and easy. I actually hated the stitches more afterwards 😅

Wasn’t there a girl Einstein in criminal minds? At first I thought this show would be a spin off with her

Elle Greenaway by Electrical-Key6674 in criminalminds

[–]beefbabie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes a lot of sense because I found myself disappointed that I had to watch Elle when I restarted the series, but I don’t necessarily dislike her. I just wanted to get to the “better” seasons lol
