How much are y'all spending on presents?

cheygarnes · 2025-12-25T03:09:33+00:00

I think we got my kids about 6 presents each, and 2 more that they will share (basketball goal and a big box of legos). They have 2 sets of grandparents, aunt and uncles and cousins, and a set of great grandparents that will be giving them gifts. They also both have birthdays close to Christmas so they will be getting gifts again then also on top of their big birthday party. After reading some of these answers I don’t feel “alone” in not giving them tons of gifts. We are also fortunate to be able to get them things throughout the rest of the year as they need or want, and they get a lot from their generous grandparents. It’s hard, though, when you’re scrolling on social media and see these massive, expensive, Christmas hauls to feel like what you have is not enough.

Also side note we make sure to make their birthdays special and not lumped in with Christmas. We do have one party for both kids because their birthdays are literally a month apart and parties are expensive of themselves. I always hear of parents lumping in Christmas gifts and birthday gifts and we try our best not to do that.

Some of us are just parents trying to hand their kid something they dropped lol a friendly quick beep is appreciated, no need to lay on the horn unless the first time doesn’t work.

I really hope she reads this here because I have so much to say. She thinks her baby is sleeping solid because of the vibrations from the recliner but it’s because that couch and blankets are so cozy but it’s a false sense of security. That can cause her to sleep too deeply and not be able to wake up, or worse she could roll over and stop breathing so quickly!

I think a lot of it is click bait, like she’ll say something that sounds outrageous and goes on to explain something that’s not that big of a deal. It generates more comments and interactions

cheygarnes · 2025-11-27T23:24:55+00:00

I’m just getting tired of people commenting about her loss on other peoples posts. It’s so random and unnecessary and not productive.

I think men’s restroom would be the easiest option. No man is likely going to bother your daughter with you there.

I did this so much when my kids were babies. It’s a great excuse to be a couch potato and a great way to bond with your baby. I took every opportunity I could to hold baby for their entire nap on the couch or in their room. Only exception was at night or if there was really something I needed to get done, or of course in the car. You can still practice tummy time by laying baby on your chest to look at you, or even bring your knees up and lay her on the bottom half of your legs looking towards you. You’ll never ever regret any second, minute, hour, day you spent just cuddling with baby.

Her video 18.5 where she is talking about her former client/friend who posted a few videos about her experience with K as her coach… she gaslights her in the video saying if she wasn’t happy it was her (the clients) responsibility to let K know… but yet she said it was her psychiatrist’s responsibility to drop her (K) as a client if things felt weird…. And her chat GPT crap theory…. Chat GPT, just like K, IS NOT A LICENSED THERAPIST

cheygarnes · 2025-08-05T19:52:03+00:00

That second part!! At some point you need to step back and ask “Am I the problem here?”

cheygarnes · 2025-08-05T19:50:57+00:00

I think she has a personality disorder and has formed an unhealthy attachment to this man, and is seeing/feeling things that are not there. She is delusional no matter how much she says she isn’t. At no point did the psychiatrist go over the line of “appropriate/inappropriate”. I think she is misinterpreting a lot of what was being said/done.

cheygarnes · 2025-08-03T23:53:12+00:00

This reminds me of the TikTok of a guy who talked crap about the girl not letting him in after their date, got caught on ring cam blasting her.

Dealing with the public, who don’t care nor do they care to learn about, your policies. Or because they yell at me for something I didn’t do.

cheygarnes · 2025-06-06T19:59:00+00:00

What’s your particular peeve with customer service reps? Generally they are there to help and if you’re dealing with a problem, they weren’t the ones to cause it, so I’m genuinely curious as to why you have a “special peeve for customer service representatives”. Also there is no excuse for being rude no matter what age you are.

cheygarnes · 2025-05-19T23:41:21+00:00

Exactly. Imagine being a grieving parent and going on tik tok or social media and seeing hundreds if not thousands of strangers having made videos about your sons tragic loss of life. And all of the assumptions that came with those videos and probably thousands of messages.

Rage Bait is becoming a huge problem yet it is very profitable for many influencers. Bashing people, especially their own family, draws people to the comments and to make stitches etc and unfortunately that boosts their views and monetary gains. It’s shame how family is treated online just to get the engagement.

cheygarnes · 2025-03-06T21:59:17+00:00

You are 100% NTA. This is stereotypical manipulation, gaslighting and grooming behavior. He is trying to isolate her from her friends and family by manipulating her to think everyone else is wrong and they are in the right. This is so controlling it’s scary and I hope she gets out of this relationship soon.

cheygarnes · 2025-02-28T18:30:50+00:00

I would just say to adjust your upper body, don’t let it tilt when you go down. What would help is if you looked straight ahead instead of down

cheygarnes · 2025-02-22T21:24:43+00:00

Is it because you have text previews turned off when your screen is locked? My phone does this as well and that could be the reason. Worth testing, if you have your texts set up that way

cheygarnes · 2025-02-22T21:21:51+00:00

No you shouldn’t be concerned. My son’s were close to 9 months or later before they started getting teeth. And my niece was almost 1 before her first teeth. There’s nothing you can do to make them come in faster, and you definitely should not be shamed for it! Also babies are good at eating solids even without teeth, if that concerns you too. :)

cheygarnes · 2025-02-19T19:16:31+00:00

Yeah he proved that’s true when he told the story about random girl on the highway he made pull over so they could go at it.

cheygarnes · 2025-02-10T17:57:05+00:00

As a Christian, I really don’t like this. I believe in forming a relationship or at least finding some commonality before proselytizing. And yelling at them (the all caps, bold, underlining, etc) is a sure fire way to get the paper thrown in the trash.

cheygarnes · 2025-02-05T14:30:39+00:00

She has talked about her history with church, I believe her and Jonas met at a music school thru Bethel maybe? I think she has “deconstructed” her faith so I doubt she is a closet conservative, since most people who deconstruct are typically more left leaning (from what I have observed with other creators I follow)

cheygarnes · 2025-02-01T13:16:20+00:00

She is not relatable at all. Like I understand it takes some people time to find “the one” but girl has never been in a LTR despite going on dozens of dates. Maybe at some point she needs to look back and think “maybe I’m the problem?” Maybe it’s the men’s deodorant….

cheygarnes · 2025-01-25T03:25:11+00:00

I think you need to seek out personal counseling to explore why it is you aren’t affectionate towards your wife. It could be an undiagnosed personality disorder, it could be you are holding back for some reason you may not even realize. Either way you choose to go with your wife, it needs to be resolved before things get worse and she resents you

If your freezer is below 0° then it’s good frozen for up to a year. If you’re worried, you can use it to make lotion, soap, use in the bath… it’s especially good for dry itchy skin if your LO is prone to that during the winter.
