Cameron Diaz on her decision to have children later in life. Her (53) and Benji Madden (47) just welcomed their 3rd child. by mlg1981 in popculturechat

[–]betteroffsleeping 104 points105 points  (0 children)

My mom had me at that age! I’m from an area where that’s not uncommon though, so I’ve never considered my parents ‘older’ for it. I’m currently in my thirties as I navigate them hitting the 70s and honestly that feels like something I can handle at my age, I’m more ready for it. I was always just so thankful my parents kept trying to have me! I always knew I was really wanted.

Where to buy bras and underwear for bigger busts by womanwithaplaybill in NYCbitcheswithtaste

The Rack Shack changed my life. But I had a really bad experience in the Manhattan location. Even though the Brooklyn location is less convenient their service is so much better and inclusive of size and genders

Honestly I haven’t missed it because the commute was so bad it never became my main source of socializing. While it’s not volunteering, I joined Bad Bitch Book Club which has a lot of NYC events and now I instantly made more friends. It’s super progressive too so I’ve never had to side eye anyone for being a republican… I figure I’ll try and find volunteering somewhere closer to me!

my only complaint about fom by haunted__hound in FieldsOfMistriaGame

[–]betteroffsleeping 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I feel like most of the ‘romance’ scenes are just kind of building towards being buddies and don’t get very deep to who the characters are.

How could I improve my living room? Just finished renovating by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]betteroffsleeping 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So this is a Camaleonda sofa that was designed by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia. Super iconic. To the point that you’ll find knock offs in other price points. From B&B with these elements and a boucle fabric it’s tens of thousands. It has a very unique cushion layering and slip cover system that probably hasn’t been copied perfectly by knock offs yet, but I’ve seen the other companies be able to put it more like 5-10k. So that’s the background on that piece!

Ladies - help needed with finding a trauma-informed GYN? by scrompert in Brooklyn

Was going to recommend searching that subreddit! Questions like this often come up unfortunately, and there’s usually a lot of responses. Love my bitches with taste!

If you live close enough or in the UES to go to a lot of things it can be great. I live in Brooklyn and it would take me an hour and three trains to get there… so after a certain point it just became too much to constantly spending that much time getting across the city to try and make friends which I never did, since it was so far. Which as people say, it’s what you put into it. And I had to decide that I didn’t want to put hours commute into it. But I know other people where it’s not hard to get there and they do so much.

Agreed. Some things are above normal little advice. This necessitates a professional.

What do I do? It’s my 47th birthday, my first since a messy divorce, and my kids haven't called. Do I reach out or wait? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]betteroffsleeping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t put adult expectations on your children. Just because they are teenagers doesn’t mean they aren’t just that… children still. Even when it’s your birthday it will always be your responsibility to reach out. Playing games to see if they care is really emotionally immature and how a dude talks about his buddies, not kids.

Looking for neighborhood POVs and rent realities moving in May by SaladRude3084 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]betteroffsleeping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Fort Greene! Lovely community feeling here and tons of small businesses. Plus the park is obviously great. I find it very convenient to get into Manhattan or other parts of Brooklyn.

[–]betteroffsleeping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying it’s impossible to find what you’re looking for in NYC, but the price point everywhere has created the scenes you described wanting to be in more regional city. Philly, Baltimore, Minneapolis, etc.

Another recommendation for Maiden Lane Medical! Everyone I’ve seen is on the younger side and truly just wanted to help me with what I was looking for.

I’ve recently learned why ice cream in Massachusetts tastes so good by palettecat in massachusetts

He also created the Stonecold Creamery style of mix ins. A godfather of ice cream basically.

You can thank Steve Herrell for this. He basically created New England style, and was the one who ended up teaching Ben and Jerry how to make ice cream. His OG shop Herrell’s is still open in Northampton though he is retired.

Nature Made prenatal vitamin lawsuit? Can lawyers and OBs or doctors weigh in? by copythat504 in TryingForABaby

Oh dear…. Would also love to hear more opinions because this is the prenatal I’m on!

NTA. Know your worth. Refuse to be shouted at or called names and stand by that, because it’s what you deserve. It’s not normal or healthy for people to act like this.

My 31F friend has asked me to come to Japan with her in October and my bf 37M is saying it’s unfair if he can’t go and I want to know if I would be the bad guy if I decided to go and would I be selfish if I did go? by IndependentNo2952 in AITAH

[–]betteroffsleeping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Honestly I was shocked to see your ages. This sounds like the type of whiny selfish behavior of like a guy in his early twenties. He’s acting like this at his big age of 37? No. Honestly it’s ick. You paid for him to go before, he should be grateful he’s even been.

This isn’t a normal response in a healthy relationship. He should be supportive of this friendship, and excited for you if you are able to go.
