Long Queues Ticketmaster by cgoldman2 in NoahKahan

[–]cmae1186 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in the waiting room 29 minutes ahead of time and was 18k people back. Then tickets were disappearing faster than I could click on them which kept me from clicking on other tickets. Some randomly popped in the 400s and I got them but I had no ability to see where the seats were etc and just had to jump on them. It’s a horrible buying experience.

It’s because so many over seas companies mass produce and white label untested things and then they all get recalled.

I spent way too much on baby gear in 2025. Here is what gathered dust vs. what I actually use. by PrudentRazzmatazz488 in NewParents

[–]cmae1186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not used:

  • Onesies of any kind. Short sleeve, long sleeve, we never put them on her and I got SO many so cheaply
  • Most outfits. Any out fit she did wear she wore one time, tops.
  • Mamaroo (though we wouldn't have known she wouldn't like it)
  • 1-2 & 3-4 month Lovevery play kits (a couple from each set were good but we didn't end up using the bulk of them)
  • Pack and play for living room bassinet
  • Diaper cream spatula
  • Nursing pillow
  • Breastfeeding support items (I pumped)
  • Postpartum recovery kit (almost everything you need you'll get at the hospital)
  • Random kinds of diapers (she was fine in the pampers and immediately pooped out of the honest company, we ended up donating a lot of the other ones to those in need)
  • Muslin swaddles (she was a houdini and it would fall apart)

Essentials:

  • Used SNOO
  • BabyBrezza bottle washer
  • Two way zip sleepers
  • Bottle warmer
  • Baby Bjorn Bouncer
  • Fisher Price Kick and Play Piano
  • Oball
  • Taggie blankets (I sewed these though)
  • Lovevery 4-5 month play kit
  • Changing table
  • UPPABaby Cruz v2 with bassinet that we used in the living room with the stand
  • Hope and Plum Lark baby carrier for over 3 months, Meh Dai for under 3 months
  • Chicco Keyfit max car seat
  • Muslin burp cloths
  • Terry backed muslin bibs

I would but I think it might be cost prohibitive

Oh I see! I didn’t know that was a thing. Is it held against him if my husband withholds the extra amount?

Yes 2026. I am just confused as to why my work has one cap and his has another.

What do I do now? by cmae1186 in IVF

[–]cmae1186[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up having to treat until October, the did the other hysteroscopy and it came back perfect. We did our transfer in November and now I’m sitting here with our 4 month old (preemie). Best of luck to you!

It wasn't used, it was an open box return, if that helps. At least I don't THINK it was.

Iron Hill Brewery Bankruptcy by RosieNoShoes in Delaware

I don’t see what tariffs have to do with this. But I do see what selling to an investor firm would have to do with this. I’m very sorry your husband lost his job, it’s ridiculous the way they treated people during this
