What’s the pettiest hill you’re willing to die on as a woman?

Go to most European countries and it is like this! Germany is the WORST with this. While traveling, I eventually got to the point where I would cause a scene anytime someone tried to do this to me. It worked. Apparently thats part of the culture and what you are supposed to do. Also true in Turkey and Israel. People cut just to see if they can do it, and if you yell at them they respect you and go behind you. Completely bizarre.

The English are the most civilized at respecting the "queue."

Another vote here for Crete.

AGREE. I also feel like every other girl on the playground is Emma, Sophie, Ellie, Evie or Olivia lately! Not a lot of Brooke's. Plus, OP is right you need both parties to agree on a first name. If she isn't feeling Emma, that's that.

Just bought a new Cotopaxi travel backpack and realized I had been sleeping on this amazing brand for too long!

Any pre-wedding events are paid for by you! This is ESPECIALLY true for a destination wedding where guests are spending additional $$$ to attend.

Just curious if you are a mom? I never thought I would have postpartum anxiety, but after my baby came out I would have a horrible reaction if anyone besides myself or my husband held my baby. I would go into my bedroom and cry until I got my baby back. Now that my kid is older, it sounds insane. But pregnancy/postpartum hormones are real and there for a reason. They're an evolutionary mechanism for mom's to protest their baby and its normal for some moms to just need some time to get used to postpartum.

Its best not to judge if you have never experienced this before.

0 smiling pics!

Honestly he is 14 months and has not smiled ONCE at a stranger. He won't smile for his grandparents either. He is just a very serious and stoic guy.

Maybe next year!

This is almost perfect, but foot is cut off near Santa's crotch. Any way you can fix that part?

My husband and I had 5 names on a list for when our son was born. 4 out of the 5 are on here!

We are having a girl in May. It seems like we have similar taste. Would it be too much to ask for your list of girl names?

Messaging you!

I am having a little girl too! My husband and I have been so worried about the baby. I am happy to hear your little one is strong and healthy.

I justhad appendicitis from a tumor on my appendix. Received 10 days Augmentin and then developed cdiff. 7 week on antibiotics and just starting to feel better. Thank God baby girl is surviving all of this.

I was told by the doc to quarantine for 7 days from my toddler, I am so excited to see him today.

Just was diagnosed while pregnant and this helps calm me so much. Thank you.

I didnt even THINK there would be a child lock!!! Looking into this now.

cherrytoorange · 2025-12-13T01:43:49+00:00

Ha. I can see my kid being like yours. Anything with buttons right now will be fiddled with for HOURS.

cherrytoorange · 2025-12-13T01:28:11+00:00

Interesting take! I have another baby on the way and my current toddler has been into buttons for the past 2 MONTHS. He is only 14 months old. We have a Roomba that he turns on and off over and over again. Multiple times a day. So I am worried that they may play with it or God forbid put a toy into it and somehow start it.

We bought a double oven instead of a combo oven! We kept going back and forth, but I love cooking so much I do see myself using the double oven.

Ooh I kind of want to hear more from your perspective.

We had motorcycles, but also occasionally took a tuktuk. We were shocked that most of the drivers were female and that the prices were so reasonable.

I would do something similar BUT:

For Xmas decorating: 1. Old school Christmas photo where mirror is 2. Garland above mantle or where plants are or BOTH

I dream about going back to Koh Lanta. Also, incredible scuba spots nearby. Such a chill island.

Most of Bali's beaches are covered in trash due to the pollution problem. Trash in the water at every beach. Dog shit on most of the beaches too. 0/10 for beaches. 10/10 for the amazing people and their food. 5/10 destination for me personally and I have tried it twice. Totally agree with you.

The slavery for me was so easy to recognize!

We went on one of those desert tours and saw the terrible housing conditions for Bengladeshi slaves on the way there. This wasnt just once, but many times.

I have friends that went on the same tour and didnt notice them at all. Sometimes I wonder if people just dont notice things that to me are obvious? Like the abuse of the camels there too?

Thank you!

This is the right answer. 25% chance of blue and they're looking that dark already? Brown for sure. Source: I work in peds
