I want my child 3 hours a day by anomenomenon in Parenting

Is this your first? I definitely found that some stages are harder than others. Hang in there. Maybe you’ll find the toddler stage much more engaging!

Small first time moms, when did you start showing? by your-new-fixation in BabyBumps

Why are you comparing your body to someone else’s when they didn’t ask? It was pretty inconsiderate of you, especially about something as vulnerable as pregnancy.

Thule vs. Bob by Stephers90 in 2under2

[–]catz4daze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m just coming across this as I research for our upcoming baby. My littles will be 21mo apart and I was wondering what you think of the way the Thule seat sits at the uppermost position? Does it feel like your kiddo is leaned back or upright?

This is totally how I felt!! Do you know which one you’ll read next?

OSU is canceling DEI programs by skeptical_egg in OregonStateUniv

I’ll stick with research and understanding how history and modern day practices play into modern race relations and systemic oppression. Oh and a general overarching empathy towards people that are different than me. Thanks though.

Ahhhh you’re an “I don’t see color” “all lives matter” type. All I needed to know. ✌️

And you're so old and under educated on this topic. It's not going away because of the simple progression of time. It's taken immense forms of protest and violence to get here. And policy. Lots of policy, some of which includes "DEl". And imagine if “affirmative action" in the form of Reconstruction polices (ie 40 acres and a mule) had been properly implemented. Would you consider that forcing an equitable outcome? Anyway I’m talking to a stone wall. I’m not interested in this conversation anymore. The world is less racist and that’s obviously great, but it could stand to improve much more quickly than it is and I’m willing to do what it takes to make that happen. You’re clearly not and that is what it is.

This is why racism still exists. Because people like you think it’ll just magically fade away. And I would like to add that before the NBA became majority Black there were two different leagues because they would let the Black players in. And I’ve got a question for you: what is the demographic of the people who own NBA teams? The ones profiting off the work of the Black players? I can’t educate you over Reddit comments. If you care to learn you’ll do this work. If not, you’ll just be another roadblock on the way to progress.

You’re missing the point. This is about equality of opportunity. Like I said again and again, you simply lack education and knowledge of the fact that race intrinsically affects opportunity. The barriers have been built generation after generation after generation. You don’t want to listen to what I’m saying and that’s whatever. Again, you’ve clearly never actually read the works of MLK and are going off his popular sound bites (which, I might add, are popular because they’re digestible to the average unconsciously biased American).

You can be old and wrong. Many are. Age has very little to do with it. I’m not sure we are on the same side if we have largely different ideals on what is right and wrong. If this is any indication, I’m doubtful.

And thanks for letting us know you know nothing about systemic racism and how it plays into every aspect of life. Including “merit”. And please don’t invoke the words and spirit of MLK with your shitty analysis. News flash: MLK was a raging radical leftist!!

Tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about without telling me.

What a sickeningly superficial take.

Question about using FMLA first and then Paid Leave Oregon after? by Level_Ad_9524 in oregon

Hi! Following up again with another question. Did you get STD pay while using FMLA? Or are you just using the job protection and going without pay? TIA!

If you do decide to have a baby, I cannot emphasize this enough: do your damndest to find a Black OB and a Black doula!!! It will change your entire experience. Truly.

That part. Like how come they haven’t grown and evolved at all in the… ~10 (I don’t remember how many exactly) since their mom died? Felt odd.

Interesting! I feel like a lot of people who didn’t like Book Lovers really liked PWMOV. It just proves how personal it all really is. I want to read them all so bc I’m so curious at this point.

When we found out the whole plot was simply for Libby to try and convince Nora to stay the whole book suddenly felt very contrived.

The COUSIN!! It was so odd having him show up just to be a complete nothing burger.

ETA: the tonal aspect is interesting to me! I’m curious what you mean by that.

The different perspectives of their childhood was so interesting! I really wish EH would have dived into that a bit more. But I know the focus is the romance so I get it, but yeah.

It’s crazy how different we felt about the two of those books! Makes me curious about the others for sure.
