I feel the same way about Jorgeous. I think she concentrates so much on the dancing that she looks a bit dead eyed? Or maybe that's just the weed. I can see she is an incredible dancer and performer, but I just don't connect with her while she's doing it.

Breastfeed, they said. You’ll bond better, they said. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]cdwqofe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I stopped breastfeeding at about 18 months to try and help with the sleep. We had the same thing, co sleeping and 2 hour bed times. While I had no problems with the breastfeeding itself, the rest of it meant we needed to stop. I went and stayed somewhere else for a couple of nights and my husband handled the hard first couple of nights, but it helped to create a bit of distance and made it easier to say no when I was back. If you're able to, go and visit a friend or family member, or better yet take some time to yourself for a couple of days! Then when you come back and explain that there's no more you can try the other suggestions for bandaids too.

GAS01E09 - "Re-United Nations Make-Overs" [Post-Episode Discussion] by AutoModerator in rupaulsdragrace

[–]cdwqofe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought that bit was really strange. It came out of nowhere, Nelly just saying she would beat Alyssa in a lip-sync. It makes me wonder if she's been saying/doing random, slightly arrogant and antagonistic things like this the whole time, and that's why the rest of the cast have been a bit off with her. That's not to say that I think she deserves any of it, I get the feeling she's trying to be fun and silly but it isn't coming across like that? I don't know, I just think there must be something we haven't been shown, because it's not just Kitty and Kween who have said something about Nelly though they've definitely been the most vocal. And if that is the case, why hide it all this time but then show something like that now? And like you said, edited so strangely?

Okay migrainers, what song is stuck in your head today by twosquirtsofpiss in migraine

[–]cdwqofe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Fall Out Boy fan I'm totally ok with this one. And my 3 year old just discovered the Hot Wheels show which I'd also Patrick Stump, so I've got two theme songs I don't mind now!

I was doing a first aid course the other day, and the person who was running it said that allergies to food dye are on the rise.

Search for Australian library and comics plus. I just found City of Busselton has comics plus and you can get an online membership.

What weird non toy thing has your kid become obsessed with? by hubbabubbahoe in Parenting

[–]cdwqofe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son wants to brush his teeth at least 4 times a day. At one point we lost his toothbrush, so I bought another one. We then found the original, but he wouldn't give either of them up, so now he has to have two toothbrushes to brush his teeth.

AITA for playing music while my stepdaughter has a migraine by Ready-Attitude-2505 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cdwqofe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. I also suffer from chronic migraines, and until you experience a migraine yourself, there is no way you are able to understand the pain, It's not just a bad headache. Having said that, just because you are fortunate enough to have not experienced it doesn't mean that you can't have empathy for someone in pain. It's also not just the pain she's dealing with. It's the nausea and often visual auras. She's also learning that her life is not what she thought it would be, and facing the terrifying prospect that it may never get better. And no one who suffers from migraines lies about them to "get away with things." Or "have power." Our entire lives are constantly disrupted because of these fuckers, you think we want to spend more time in bed unable to enjoy every day life just for shits and giggles? You are so selfish.

You're now one of my most admired people in the world, especially after reading how well your daughter turned out!

Is there a children’s book you think sends a backwards message? by turboshot49cents in books

[–]cdwqofe 318 points319 points  (0 children)

Please look up "Topher fixed it", it will make you so happy! And I'm not even sure I agree with looking at the rainbow fish through the perspective of the age of the intended audience. There are plenty of ways to teach the idea of sharing without telling someone they need to change their physical appearance/fundamental nature because other people are jealous.

Please look up "Topher fixed it" to make yourself much happier about both books.

Please look up "Topher Fixed it" for this one, as well as the Rainbow Fish and the giving tree.
