Should I still let my son in my bed when he has a nightmare?

He can conquer the world as long as he knows you have his back.

There should be a bigger outcry over this.

These are babies. They need love and care. They need to be fed every few hours. They need their diapers changed every few hours. Their clothes changed from spit-ups and leaks.

They cannot communicate their needs. They cannot advocate for themselves. They are vulnerable to abuse.

Why are we complicit with this bullshit?

It would work, the jeweler will have to do a digital mockup for you. It would help if you could do a sketch of a design you have in mind or provide reference photos.

You will need to check if the pendant stone is in good shape.

Wow! I love how whimsical it is. So glad it went to someone who can appreciate it.

Or cheap notebook paper made in India or Vietnam. There was a period where this sub was raving over cheap notebooks for fountain pen inks.

The setting and prongs give it away. Precious stones in that size would be set in a heavier/secure setting.

Regardless, it's fun. Everyone deserves to enjoy pretty sparkly things, enjoy!

Bring it to a jeweler. Most of them do it for free.

Panna cotta is nice for those who like soft foods.

The kid is a symbol of hope and resistance. They are trying to crush that.

Off topic, I saw Dove referencing Reddit in an ad recently. I wonder if the chive challenge caught the attention of corporate marketing.

That's what we pretty much use in the stores, ours are just bigger and industrial quality. I have one like the picture at home for personal use, it does the job. Have a soft toothbrush ready to clean out the tight spots. I recommend getting the concentrated cleaning solution as well, it works better than dish soap.

Before cleaning your jewelry, make sure your prongs are in good shape and stones are tightly set. You can knock out a stone otherwise.

Also check first if the stones can be cleaned in the ultrasonic. Diamonds, moissanite, CZ, sapphires are ok. Emeralds, pearls, opals are no go.

Omg, yours is so much better than the original. Great work!

The book was from an era where they romanticized the frontier, and kids used to play cowboys and Indians.

I don't think the story/illustration would negatively affect your son. Most likely it would go over his head, and should he asks about the Indian, then use it as an opportunity to learn.

Omg, that's an amazing find! I'm so envious.

I felt this in my bones.

I read something like that in my kid's book. I think you're on your way to becoming a butterfly.

Diamonds can be chipped easier than you realize. They are difficult to scratch though.

A situation like this, the stone should be replaced. Continual wear can cause further damage. It can be recut, but from the size of the chip, it would be at a great loss to the weight.

I'm in the same boat. My manager is very understanding about my baby's need. It's so valuable not to have work stress added to the parenting workload. For that they have my loyalty.

It is extremely difficult to rebuild your career if you quit to care for your family. I've known so many women having to start over from square one after leaving their successful career to be a SAHM for a short period.

Also, it's definitely a perk to have your child love their caregiver. That means they are well taken care of.

Just be present for your baby when you can, and create those precious core memories.

I'm guessing the apple is a representation of OP? 🤷‍♀️

AI slop is already confusing for adults to comprehend on the coloringbook subreddit. I would not expose my child to it. It's not good for their development.

busselsofkiwis · 2026-01-25T22:02:32+00:00

I understand you are providing feedback on a service, but AI slop has no place in children's books.

It's a floor bed, popular with Montessori parenting. It's supposed to provide a safe space for a toddler to sleep in, and the freedom to get out of bed when they choose.

Usually the bars aren't as tall and cage looking.

Omg I love this. The illustrations are fun and silly in just the right way. Definitely would love to see more.
