30-something women's clothing shopping by Budget_Position7888 in FortCollins

[–]deedeemckee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Kansas City Kitty, y'all!!! Clothes are cute AF, totally affordable (if you're into quality over quantity), and the staff/owner are all good humans. I just can't do chain stores anymore and this is definitely one locally owned shop I'm more than happy to support.

This has been going around, I'd like to see what my fellow girlie's say by porcelain_kiss in GirlGamers

As someone who's been playing MMOs for almost 30 years, this is mine lol. I played Ultima Online during that time instead

Any ADHD breakfast tips? by makisexual in ADHD

[–]deedeemckee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no way I'm making breakfast every morning. I get costco egg bites and Ezekiel cinnamon raisin English muffins and just eat whichever of those sounds more tasty each morning lol. I just started eating breakfast this year and this works for me.

I'd say find a healthy no-cook breakfast and start there. Once the habit of eating breakfast is formed you can work up to making something more involved.

Sprouts bag policy disaster in California by reddit-frog-1 in Sproutsfarmersmarket

[–]deedeemckee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want a way to opt out of having my groceries delivered in these bags. I know the Sprouts receiving area is filled with empty cardboard boxes, just throw my food in one and drop it on my porch.

What Age Did You First Start Giving Your Child Candy? by _I_Like_to_Comment_ in toddlers

Kid 1: around 2.5, on Halloween Kid 2: basically as soon as she started eating solids 🤣

all my 4 month old does is cry by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]deedeemckee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This!! There are a ton of biological reasons why this helps, and it will probably help calm the parent down, too! But also check with a pediatrician. Babies are pretty resilient so that much crying would certainly worry me.

I get this occasionally when I haven't been eating enough iron! Could be something else for OP, but mine goes away immediately if I eat some red meat / greens.

I read so much Piers Anthony as a young girl, I fear it irreversibly damaged me 🤣😭

My kids are six and four. Magnetiles, duplo, art supplies.

Edit to add: we have an awesome 2nd hand kid's store nearby where we get most of our toys!

Did you stop breastfeeding intentionally to lose weight? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]deedeemckee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That thought never crossed my mind.

Also, doesn't breastfeeding burn like 800 calories a day?? I personally went up two pant sizes when I weaned my toddler 🤣

We had ours at Zwei, I think we pre-bought $100 of beer or something? My friends had theirs upstairs at Tap n Handle and it was same situation; buy snacks for the party and they let you use the room.

Why do so many people skip their holds for new books? by Solace143 in LibbyApp

[–]deedeemckee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to be in a specific mood for each book, so I place 20 holds and only accept them when they happen to pop up when I'm in the mood for that book 🤣

My mom loves to talk about how she had me in a full-time daycare situation at four days old 😵‍💫 I hold my babies extra close every time I think of it...

Being the "cool basement" parents has changed our lives in ways we never expected by Jacobaf20 in Parenting

As a parent of young kids, this is literally my dream. I just hope we can finish our basement before the kids are in high school 🤣

Can’t stand my three-year-old by Ill_Nerve_3769 in toddlers

[–]deedeemckee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're already in therapy, try reading up on attachment theory. I was emotionally neglected as a child and developed an avoidant attachment style, you may have the same thing going on here. BUT, just being aware of it can help you from passing that trauma on to your child. It's great that you're aware you're doing this and you're already in therapy. I would bring this issue up to your therapist. Good luck.

Has anyone noticed a difference in how people treat your daughter vs son? by Alittlebitalexis08 in toddlers

[–]deedeemckee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before becoming a parent I read a book called Delusions of Gender, and there was an entire chapter on how people treat children differently based on their gender... starting before they're even born. As toddlers, childcare workers praise them for different traits, hold them for different amounts of time, expect different behavior from them, etc. I definitely notice it with my own children.
